The Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind:

Will you even put me in the wrong? Will you condemn me that you may be in the right?

Job 40:8

Acts 4 (English Standard Version)

16 saying, “What shall we do with these men? For that a notable sign has been performed through them is evident to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it.
17 But in order that it may spread no further among the people, let us warn them to speak no more to anyone in this name.”
18 So they called them and charged them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus.
19 But Peter and John answered them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, you must judge,
20 for we cannot but speak of what we have seen and heard.”
21 And when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way to punish them, because of the people, for all were praising God for what had happened.
22 For the man on whom this sign of healing was performed was more than forty years old.

Job 40 (English Standard Version)

5 I have spoken once, and I will not answer;
twice, but I will proceed no further.”
6 Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind and said:
7 “Dress for action like a man;
I will question you, and you make it known to me.
8 Will you even put me in the wrong?
Will you condemn me that you may be in the right?
9 Have you an arm like God,
and can you thunder with a voice like his?
10 “Adorn yourself with majesty and dignity;
clothe yourself with glory and splendor.
11 Pour out the overflowings of your anger,
and look on everyone who is proud and abase him.

Job 40:8

Acts 4 (Free Bible Version)

16 “What should we do with these men?” they asked. “We can't deny a significant miracle has happened through them. Everybody living here in Jerusalem knows about it.
17 But to prevent it spreading among the people any further, we should threaten them never to speak to anybody in this name again.”
18 So they called them back in and ordered them never to speak or teach in the name of Jesus again.
19 But Peter and John responded, “Whether it's right in God's eyes to obey you rather than God—you decide.
20 We can't help talking about what we've seen and heard!”
21 After making more threats they let them go. They couldn't work out how to punish them because everyone was glorifying God for what had happened.
22 For the man who received this miracle of healing was more than forty years old.

5 I have already said far too much and I won't say anything more.”
6 Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind,
7 “Prepare yourself, be strong, for I am going to question you, and you must answer me.
8 Are you really going to say my decisions are wrong? Are you going to condemn me so you can be right?
9 Are you as powerful as I am? Does your voice thunder like mine?
10 Why don't you dress yourself with majesty and dignity, and clothe yourself with glory and splendor!
11 Let loose your fierce anger. Humble the proud with a glance.
