Bible verse
I have spoken once, but I have no answer—twice, but I have nothing to add.”
Job 40:5 · BSB
The verses around it, from Job 40.
1 And the LORD said to Job:
2 “Will the faultfinder contend with the Almighty? Let him who argues with God give an answer.”
3 Then Job answered the LORD:
4 “Behold, I am insignificant. How can I reply to You? I place my hand over my mouth.
5 I have spoken once, but I have no answer—twice, but I have nothing to add.”
6 Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind and said:
7 “Now brace yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall inform Me.
8 Would you really annul My justice? Would you condemn Me to justify yourself?
9 Do you have an arm like God’s? Can you thunder with a voice like His?
