1 Moreover the LORD answered
Job, and said,
2 Shall he that contendeth with the
Almighty instruct him? he that reproveth God, let him answer it.
3 Then Job answered the LORD, and said,
4 Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer
thee? I will lay mine hand upon my mouth.
5 Once have I spoken; but I will not
answer: yea, twice; but I will proceed no further.
6 Then answered the LORD unto
Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
7 Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will
demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.
8 Wilt thou also disannul my judgment?
wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous?
9 Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou
thunder with a voice like him?
10 Deck thyself now with majesty
and excellency; and array thyself with glory and beauty.
11 Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and
behold every one that is proud, and abase him.
12 Look on every one that is proud,
and bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place.
13 Hide them in the dust together; and
bind their faces in secret.
14 Then will I also confess unto thee that
thine own right hand can save thee.
15 Behold now behemoth, which
I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.
16 Lo now, his strength is in his
loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.
17 He moveth his tail like a cedar: the
sinews of his stones are wrapped together.
18 His bones are as strong pieces
of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.
19 He is the chief of the ways of
God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him.
20 Surely the mountains bring him forth
food, where all the beasts of the field play.
21 He lieth under the shady trees, in the
covert of the reed, and fens.
22 The shady trees cover him with
their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.
23 Behold, he drinketh up a river, and
hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.
24 He taketh it with his eyes: his
nose pierceth through snares.
