39:32. Shall he that contendeth with God be so easily silenced? surely he that reproveth God, ought to answer him.
39:33. Then Job answered the Lord, and said:
39:34. What can I answer, who hath spoken inconsiderately? I will lay my hand upon my mouth.
Spoken inconsiderately.... If we discuss all Job’s words (saith St. Gregory), we shall find nothing impiously spoken; as may be gathered from the words of the Lord himself, chap. 42, ver. 7, 8; but what was reprehensible in him, was the manner of expressing himself at times, speaking too much of his own affliction, and too little of God’s goodness towards him, which here he acknowledges as inconsiderate.
39:35. One thing I have spoken, which I wish I had not said: and another, to which I will add no more.

40:3. Wilt thou make void my judgment: and condemn me, that thou mayst be justified?
