Job 40:7

“Now gird up your loins (prepare yourself) like a man,
And I will ask you, and you instruct Me.

“Now gird up your loins like a man,
And I will ask you, and you instruct Me!

‘Hear, please, and I will speak;
I will ask You, and You instruct [and answer] me.’

“Then [Lord,] call, and I will answer;
Or let me speak, and then reply to me.

“Oh, that I knew where I might find Him,
That I might [even] come to His seat!
