40:4 “See, I am not important. What can I answer You? I put my hand on my mouth.
40:5 I have spoken once, and I cannot answer; even twice, and I have no more to say.”
40:6 Then the Lord answered out of the storm, and said,
40:7 “Get ready like a man. I will ask you, and you answer Me.
40:8 Will you say what I decide is wrong? Will you say that I have done wrong, that you may be made right?
40:9 Do you have an arm like God? Can you thunder with a voice like His?
40:10 “Dress yourself with shining-greatness and great power. Cover yourself with honor and greatness.
40:11 Pour out your anger that is flowing over. Look on everyone who is proud, and put him to shame.
40:12 Look on everyone who is proud, and bring him down. Crush the sinful where they stand.
40:13 Hide them all in the dust together. Shut them up in the hidden place.
40:14 Then I will also tell you that your own right hand can save you.
40:15 “See now the hippopotamus, which I made as well as you. He eats grass like an ox.
40:16 See, his strength is in his body. His power is in his stomach.
40:17 He moves his tail like a cedar tree. His legs are made very strong.
40:18 His bones are like brass. His legs are like pieces of iron.
40:19 “He is the first of the works of God. Let his maker bring him his sword.
40:20 For sure the mountains bring food to him where all the animals of the field play.
40:21 He lies down under the lotus plants, hidden in the high river grass.
40:22 He lies in the shadow of the lotus plants, with the willow trees of the river around him.
40:23 If a river flows over, he is not afraid. He is sure of himself even if the Jordan rushes against his mouth.
40:24 Can anyone take him when he is watching? Can anyone catch him and put a ring in his nose?
