40:6 Then out of the storm the Lord spoke to Job once again.
40:7 Now stand up straight and answer my questions.
40:8 Are you trying to prove that I am unjust— to put me in the wrong and yourself in the right?
40:9 Are you as strong as I am? Can your voice thunder as loud as mine?
40:10 If so, stand up in your honor and pride; clothe yourself with majesty and glory.
40:11 Look at those who are proud; pour out your anger and humble them.
40:12 Yes, look at them and bring them down; crush the wicked where they stand.
40:13 Bury them all in the ground; bind them in the world of the dead.
40:14 Then I will be the first to praise you and admit that you won the victory yourself.
40:15 Look at the monster Behemoth; I created him and I created you. He eats grass like a cow,
40:16 but what strength there is in his body, and what power there is in his muscles!
40:17 His tail stands up like a cedar, and the muscles in his legs are strong.
40:18 His bones are as strong as bronze, and his legs are like iron bars.
40:19 The most amazing of all my creatures! Only his Creator can defeat him.
40:20 Grass to feed him grows on the hills where wild beasts play.
40:21 He lies down under the thorn bushes, and hides among the reeds in the swamp.
40:22 The thorn bushes and the willows by the stream give him shelter in their shade.
40:23 He is not afraid of a rushing river; he is calm when the Jordan dashes in his face.
40:24 Who can blind his eyes and capture him? Or who can catch his snout in a trap?
