40:4 “Behold, I am of small account; what shall I answer you? I lay my hand on my mouth.
40:5 I have spoken once, and I will not answer; twice, but I will proceed no further.”
40:6 Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind and said:
40:7 “Dress for action like a man; I will question you, and you make it known to me.
40:8 Will you even put me in the wrong? Will you condemn me that you may be in the right?
40:9 Have you an arm like God, and can you thunder with a voice like his?
40:10 “Adorn yourself with majesty and dignity; clothe yourself with glory and splendour.
40:11 Pour out the overflowings of your anger, and look on everyone who is proud and abase him.
40:12 Look on everyone who is proud and bring him low and tread down the wicked where they stand.
40:13 Hide them all in the dust together; bind their faces in the world below.
40:14 Then will I also acknowledge to you that your own right hand can save you.
40:15 “Behold, Behemoth, which I made as I made you; he eats grass like an ox.
40:16 Behold, his strength in his loins, and his power in the muscles of his belly.
40:17 He makes his tail stiff like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are knit together.
40:18 His bones are tubes of bronze, his limbs like bars of iron.
40:19 “He is the first of the works of God; let him who made him bring near his sword!
40:20 For the mountains yield food for him where all the wild beasts play.
40:21 Under the lotus plants he lies, in the shelter of the reeds and in the marsh.
40:22 For his shade the lotus trees cover him; the willows of the brook surround him.
40:23 Behold, if the river is turbulent he is not frightened; he is confident though Jordan rushes against his mouth.
40:24 Can one take him by his eyes, or pierce his nose with a snare?
