| Job 40:1 | Moreover the LORD answered Job, and said:
|
| Job 40:2 | Shall he that reproveth contend with the Almighty? He that argueth with God, let him answer it.
|
| Job 40:3 | Then Job answered the LORD, and said:
|
| Job 40:4 | Behold, I am of small account; what shall I answer Thee? I lay my hand upon my mouth.
|
| Job 40:5 | Once have I spoken, but I will not answer again; yea, twice, but I will proceed no further.
|
| Job 40:6 | Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said:
|
| Job 40:7 | Gird up thy loins now like a man; I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto Me.
|
| Job 40:8 | Wilt thou even make void My judgment? Wilt thou condemn Me, that thou mayest be justified?
|
| Job 40:9 | Or hast thou an arm like God? And canst thou thunder with a voice like Him?
|
| Job 40:10 | Deck thyself now with majesty and excellency, and array thyself with glory and beauty.
|
| Job 40:11 | Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath; and look upon every one that is proud, and abase him.
|
| Job 40:12 | Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place.
|
| Job 40:13 | Hide them in the dust together; bind their faces in the hidden place.
|
| Job 40:14 | Then will I also confess unto thee that thine own right hand can save thee.
|
| Job 40:15 | Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.
|
| Job 40:16 | Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the stays of his body.
|
| Job 40:17 | He straineth his tail like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are knit together.
|
| Job 40:18 | His bones are as pipes of brass; his gristles are like bars of iron.
|
| Job 40:19 | He is the beginning of the ways of God; He only that made him can make His sword to approach unto him.
|
| Job 40:20 | Surely the mountains bring him forth food, and all the beasts of the field play there.
|
| Job 40:21 | He lieth under the lotus-trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.
|
| Job 40:22 | The lotus-trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.
|
| Job 40:23 | Behold, if a river overflow, he trembleth not; he is confident, though the Jordan rush forth to his mouth.
|
| Job 40:24 | Shall any take him by his eyes, or pierce through his nose with a snare?
