Job 40:7 In-Context

5 I've talked too much, way too much. I'm ready to shut up and listen." God's Second Set of Questions I Want Straight Answers
6 God addressed Job next from the eye of the storm, and this is what he said:
7 "I have some more questions for you, and I want straight answers.
8 "Do you presume to tell me what I'm doing wrong? Are you calling me a sinner so you can be a saint?
9 Do you have an arm like my arm? Can you shout in thunder the way I can?
