I Lay My Hand on My Mouth

Name Date

Read the Story

Yahweh asked Job, Shall he who argues contend with the Almighty? Job had said many things about God. Now he had to answer.

Job said, Behold, I am of small account. What will I answer you? I lay my hand on my mouth. Job said he had spoken before, but he would say no more.

God spoke again. He asked, Will you condemn me, that you may be justified? Then He said, See now behemoth, which I made as well as you. He eats grass as an ox. Behemoth is very strong, but God made him.

Will You Condemn Me?

Name Date

Read and Think

Yahweh asked Job, Shall he who argues contend with the Almighty? He who argues with God, let him answer it. In his pain Job had said God was treating him unfairly. Now God gave him a chance to speak.

Job answered, Behold, I am of small account. What will I answer you? I lay my hand on my mouth. I have spoken once, and I will not answer; Yes, twice, but I will proceed no further. Job was humbled when he faced the living God.

God spoke again out of the whirlwind. Will you even annul my judgment? Will you condemn me, that you may be justified? Job had defended himself by blaming God. God showed Job that only He can rule the world. Then God pointed to behemoth, a mighty beast. His bones are like tubes of bronze. He who made him gives him his sword.

Job 40 · Grade 5

The Humbling of Job

Name Date

Read and Think

Yahweh pressed His question: Shall he who argues contend with the Almighty? He who argues with God, let him answer it. Throughout the dialogue Job had demanded that God answer him. Now the Almighty stands before him, and Job has nothing to say.

Job answered, Behold, I am of small account. What will I answer you? I lay my hand on my mouth. I have spoken once, and I will not answer; Yes, twice, but I will proceed no further. This is the beginning of Job's humility. He does not curse God, but he stops accusing Him.

God continues: Now brace yourself like a man. Will you even annul my judgment? Will you condemn me, that you may be justified? Job had been right that he was not suffering for a hidden sin, but wrong to suggest God was unjust. God invites Job to rule the world and humble every proud person, if he can. Then God points to behemoth: See now behemoth, which I made as well as you. He is the chief of the ways of God. Only his Maker can rule him.
