Chapter 40 | |
1. |
Moreover the Lord answered Job, and said, |
|
2. |
Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproveth God, let him answer it. |
|
3. |
Then Job answered the Lord, and said, |
|
4. |
Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay mine hand upon my mouth. |
|
5. |
Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea, twice; but I will proceed no further. |
|
6. |
Then answered the Lord unto Job out of the whirlwind, and said, |
|
7. |
Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare you unto me. |
|
8. |
Will you also disannul my judgment? will you condemn me, that you may be righteous? |
|
9. |
Have you an arm like God? or can you thunder with a voice like him? |
|
10. |
Deck thyself now with majesty and excellency; and array thyself with glory and beauty. |
|
11. |
Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and behold every one that is proud, and abase him. |
|
12. |
Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place. |
|
13. |
Hide them in the dust together; and bind their faces in secret. |
|
14. |
Then will I also confess unto you that your own right hand can save thee. |
|
15. |
Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox. |
|
16. |
Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly. |
|
17. |
He moves his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together. |
|
18. |
His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron. |
|
19. |
He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him. |
|
20. |
Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play. |
|
21. |
He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens. |
|
22. |
The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook surround him about. |
|
23. |
Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth. |
|
24. |
He taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth through snares. |
