Job 40

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