40:7 "Brace yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall answer me.
40:8 "Would you discredit my justice? Would you condemn me to justify yourself?
40:9 Do you have an arm like God's, and can your voice thunder like his?
40:10 Then adorn yourself with glory and splendor, and clothe yourself in honor and majesty.
40:11 Unleash the fury of your wrath, look at all who are proud and bring them low,
40:12 look at all who are proud and humble them, crush the wicked where they stand.
40:13 Bury them all in the dust together; shroud their faces in the grave.
40:14 Then I myself will admit to you that your own right hand can save you.
40:15 "Look at Behemoth, which I made along with you and which feeds on grass like an ox.
40:16 What strength it has in its loins, what power in the muscles of its belly!
40:17 Its tail sways like a cedar; the sinews of its thighs are close-knit.
40:18 Its bones are tubes of bronze, its limbs like rods of iron.
40:19 It ranks first among the works of God, yet its Maker can approach it with his sword.
40:20 The hills bring it their produce, and all the wild animals play nearby.
40:21 Under the lotus plants it lies, hidden among the reeds in the marsh.
40:22 The lotuses conceal it in their shadow; the poplars by the stream surround it.
40:23 A raging river does not alarm it; it is secure, though the Jordan should surge against its mouth.
40:24 Can anyone capture it by the eyes, or trap it and pierce its nose?
