40:4 I am so insignificant. How can I answer You? I place my hand over my mouth.
40:5 I have spoken once, and I will not reply; twice, but now I can add nothing.
40:6 Then the LORD answered Job from the whirlwind:
40:7 Get ready to answer Me like a man; When I question you, you will inform Me.
40:8 Would you really challenge My justice? Would you declare Me guilty to justify yourself?
40:9 Do you have an arm like God's? Can you thunder with a voice like His?
40:10 Adorn yourself with majesty and splendor, and clothe yourself with honor and glory.
40:11 Unleash your raging anger; look on every proud person and humiliate him.
40:12 Look on every proud person and humble him; trample the wicked where they stand.
40:13 Hide them together in the dust; imprison them in the grave.
40:14 Then I will confess to you that your own right hand can deliver you.
40:15 Look at Behemoth, which I made along with you. He eats grass like an ox.
40:16 Look at the strength of his loins and the power in the muscles of his belly.
40:17 He stiffens his tail like a cedar tree; the tendons of his thighs are woven firmly together.
40:18 His bones are bronze tubes; his limbs are like iron rods.
40:19 He is the foremost of God's works; only his Maker can draw the sword against him.
40:20 The hills yield food for him, while all sorts of wild animals play there.
40:21 He lies under the lotus plants, hiding in the protection of marshy reeds.
40:22 Lotus plants cover him with their shade; the willows by the brook surround him.
40:23 Though the river rages, Behemoth is unafraid; he remains confident, even if the Jordan surges up to his mouth.
40:24 Can anyone capture him while he looks on, or pierce his nose with snares?
