40 Moreover the Lord ^(A)answered Job, and said:

²“Shall ^(B)the one who contends with the Almighty correct Him?
He who ^(C)rebukes God, let him answer it.”

Job’s Response to God

³Then Job answered the Lord and said:

⁴“Behold,^(D) I am vile;
What shall I answer You?
^(E)I lay my hand over my mouth.
⁵Once I have spoken, but I will not answer;
Yes, twice, but I will proceed no further.”

Isaiah 6:1-5

New King James Version

Isaiah Called to Be a Prophet^(A)

6 In the year that ^(B)King Uzziah died, I ^(C)saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple. ²Above it stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, ^(D)with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. ³And one cried to another and said:

^(E)“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts;
^(F)The whole earth is full of His glory!”

⁴And the posts of the door were shaken by the voice of him who cried out, and the house was filled with smoke.

⁵So I said:

“Woe is me, for I am ^[a]undone!
Because I am a man of ^(G)unclean lips,
And I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips;
For my eyes have seen the King,
The Lord of hosts.”
