40:7 “Brace yourself like a man; I will question you, and you will inform Me!
40:8 “Would you really annul My judgment? Would you condemn Me to justify yourself?
40:9 Do you have an arm like God’s and can you thunder with a voice like His?
40:10 Then adorn yourself in majesty and dignity; clothe yourself in splendor and honor.
40:11 Scatter the fury of your anger. Look at every proud personand bring him low;
40:12 look at everyone who is proud and humble him; tread down the wicked where they stand.
40:13 Hide them together in the dust bind their faces in the hidden place.
40:14 Then I—even I will acknowledge to you, that your own right hand can save you!
40:15 “Look now at Behemoth, which I made along with you. He eats grass like an ox.
40:16 Now look at his strength in his loins, and his power in the muscles of his belly.
40:17 He stiffens his tail like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are knit together.
40:18 His bones are tubes of bronze; His limbs like rods of iron.
40:19 He is first among the ways of God, Let his Maker draw near with His sword!
40:20 For the mountains bring him food, and all the wild animals play there.
40:21 Under the lotus plants he lies down, in the secrecy of the reeds and marsh.
40:22 The lotuses conceal him in their shade; the willows of the brook surround him.
40:23 If the river rages, he is not alarmed. He is secure, even though the Jordan surges against his mouth.
40:24 Can anyone capture it by its eyes, or pierce his nose with hooks?
40:25 “Can you pull in Leviathan with a hook, or tie down his tongue with a cord?
40:26 Can you put a reed rope in his nose or pierce his jaw with a hook?
40:27 Will he make many supplications to you, or speak softly to you?
40:28 Will he make a covenant with you, so you can take him as a slave forever?
