Verse 4 is found in chapter 40 of Job. God asks Job whether he still wishes to contend with the Almighty, and Job responds by acknowledging his smallness. God then challenges Job’s ability to govern the world, humble the proud, and establish universal justice. The passage clarifies that the issue was not simply that Job had suffered, but that he sought to judge God’s entire government from his limited perspective.
