job 40

1 - Moreover the LORD answered Job,

2 - "Shall he who argues contend with the Almighty?He who argues with God, let him answer it."

3 - Then Job answered The LORD,

4 - "Behold, I am of small account. What shall I answer you?I lay my hand on my mouth.

5 - I have spoken once, and I will not answer;Yes, twice, but I will proceed no further."

6 - Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind,

7 - "Now brace yourself like a man.I will question you, and you will answer me.

8 - Will you even annul my judgment?Will you condemn me, that you may be justified?

9 - Or do you have an arm like God?Can you thunder with a voice like him?

10 - "Now deck yourself with excellency and dignity.Array yourself with honor and majesty.

11 - Pour out the fury of your anger.Look at everyone who is proud, and bring him low.

12 - Look at everyone who is proud, and humble him.Crush the wicked in their place.

13 - Hide them in the dust together.Bind their faces in the hidden place.

14 - Then I will also admit to youthat your own right hand can save you.

15 - "See now, behemoth, which I made as well as you.He eats grass as an ox.

16 - Look now, his strength is in his thighs.His force is in the muscles of his belly.

17 - He moves his tail like a cedar.The sinews of his thighs are knit together.

18 - His bones are like tubes of brass.His limbs are like bars of iron.

19 - He is the chief of the ways of God.He who made him gives him his sword.

20 - Surely the mountains produce food for him,where all the animals of the field play.

21 - He lies under the lotus trees,in the covert of the reed, and the marsh.

22 - The lotuses cover him with their shade.The willows of the brook surround him.

23 - Behold, if a river overflows, he doesn't tremble.He is confident, though the Jordan swells even to his mouth.

24 - Shall any take him when he is on the watch,or pierce through his nose with a snare?
