ANSWER ME!
Job 38:2-3; 40:2-14; 41:10b-11; 42:2-6
“Who is this who darkens counsel
By words without knowledge?
Who is able to stand against Me?
Answer me.
Who has preceded Me, that I should pay him?
Everything under heaven is Mine.
So who is able to stand against Me?
Answer Me.”
What shall I answer You, my ELOHIYM?
I lay my hand over my mouth
Behold, I’m vile…
I’m vile…
Once I have spoken, but won’t do it again
Yes, twice, but won’t proceed no further
Behold, I’m vile…
I’m vile…
“Would you indeed annul My judgement?
Would you condemn Me that you may be justified?
Have you an arm like ELOHIYM?
Answer Me.
Can you thunder with a voice like His?
Then adorn yourself with majesty and splendor,
Can you array yourself with glory and beauty?
Answer Me.
Disperse the rage of your wrath,
Look on everyone who’s proud and humble him.
Can you tread down the wicked in their place?
Answer Me.
Hide the wicked in the dust together,
And bind their faces in the hidden darkness.
Then I’ll confess to you that your own right hand
Can save you….
Shall the one who is contending
With the Almighty correct Him?
Who is able to stand against Me?
Answer Me.
Now make ready, prepare yourself
He, who rebukes His Maker.
Are you able to stand against Me?
Answer Me! ”
Abba, I know that You can do everything,
And no purpose of of Yours can be withheld from You.
Who’s this who hides counsel without knowledge?
It was I…
It was I…
I have uttered what I did not understand,
Things too wonderful for me, which I didn’t know
“Listen, please, and let me speak!”
So said I…
So said I…
I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear,
But now my eye sees You, YAHUAH,
I despise myself and repent in dust and ashes
Forgive me…
Forgive me…
I lay my hand over my mouth,
I know that You can do everything,
And that no purpose of Yours can be withheld from You
And I praise You!…
I praise You!

JOB 38 (KJV)
2 Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?
3 Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou Me.
JOB 40 (KJV)
2 Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct Him? he that reproveth GOD, let him answer it.
3 Then Job answered YAHUAH, and said,
4 Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer Thee? I will lay mine hand upon my mouth.
5 Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea, twice; but I will proceed no further.
6 Then answered YAHUAH unto Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
7 Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto Me.
8 Wilt thou also disannul My judgment? wilt thou condemn Me, that thou mayest be righteous?
9 Hast thou an arm like GOD? or canst thou thunder with a voice like Him?
10 Deck thyself now with majesty and excellency; and array thyself with glory and beauty.
11 Cast abroad the rage of Thy wrath: and behold every one that is proud, and abase him.
12 Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place.
13 Hide them in the dust together; and bind their faces in secret.
14 Then will I also confess unto thee that thine own right hand can save thee.
JOB 41 (KJV)
10 Who then is able to stand before Me?
11 Who hath prevented Me, that I should repay him? whatsoever is under the whole heaven is Mine.
JOB 42 (KJV)
2 I know that Thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withholden from Thee.
3 Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.
4 Hear, I beseech Thee, and I will speak: I will demand of Thee, and declare Thou unto me.
5 I have heard of Thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth Thee.
6 Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.
