- 1Moreover the LORD answered Job, and said:
- 2Shall he that reproveth contend with the Almighty? He that argueth with God, let him answer it.
- 3Then Job answered the LORD, and said:
- 4Behold, I am of small account; what shall I answer Thee? I lay my hand upon my mouth.
- 5Once have I spoken, but I will not answer again; yea, twice, but I will proceed no further.
- 6Then the LORD answered 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 even make void My judgment? Wilt thou condemn Me, that thou mayest be justified?
- 9Or hast thou an arm like God? And 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 look upon 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; bind their faces in the hidden place.
- 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 stays of his body.
- 17He straineth his tail like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are knit together.
- 18His bones are as pipes of brass; his gristles are like bars of iron.
- 19He is the beginning of the ways of God; He only that made him can make His sword to approach unto him.
- 20Surely the mountains bring him forth food, and all the beasts of the field play there.
- 21He lieth under the lotus-trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.
- 22The lotus-trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.
- 23Behold, if a river overflow, he trembleth not; he is confident, though the Jordan rush forth to his mouth.
