And the
LORD
said to
Job:
Moreover
Jehovah
answered
Job,
and said ,
“Will
the
faultfinder
contend with the Almighty? Let
him
who
argues
with God give
an
answer. ”
Shall
he
that
cavilleth
contend with the Almighty? He
that
argueth
with God ,
let
him
answer it
.
Then Job answered the
LORD:
Then Job answered Jehovah,
and
said,
“
Behold, I am insignificant.
How
can
I reply
to
You
? I place
my hand over
my mouth.
Behold, I am of
small
account;
What
shall
I answer
thee
? I lay
my hand upon
my mouth.
I
have spoken once
, but
I have
no
answer —
twice, but I have
nothing
to
add
. ”
Once
have I
spoken, and
I will
not
answer ;
Yea,
twice, but I will
proceed
no
further
.
Then the
LORD
answered Job out of the whirlwind and said :
Then Jehovah
answered Job out of the whirlwind ,
and said ,
“
Now brace
yourself
like a man ;
I will question
you
, and you
shall
inform
Me.
Gird
up
thy
loins
now like a man :
I will demand
of
thee
, and declare
thou
unto
me.
Would
you
really
annul My justice
? Would
you
condemn Me to
justify
yourself
?
Wilt
thou
even
annul my judgment
? Wilt
thou
condemn me ,
that
thou
mayest
be
justified
?
Do
you
have
an arm like God’s
? Can
you
thunder with a voice like His
?
Or
hast
thou
an arm like God
? And
canst
thou
thunder with a voice like him
?
Then
adorn
yourself
with majesty
and splendor,
and clothe
yourself
with honor and glory
.
Deck
thyself
now
with excellency
and dignity;
And array
thyself
with honor and majesty
.
Unleash
the fury
of your
wrath
; look on
every proud man
and bring
him low
.
Pour
forth
the overflowings
of thine
anger
; And
look upon
every one
that
is
proud ,
and abase
him.
Look on every proud man
and humble
him; trample
the wicked where they stand.
Look on every one
that
is
proud ,
`
and '
bring
him low
; And
tread
down
the wicked where they stand.
Bury
them together
in the dust; imprison
them
in the grave
.
Hide
them in the dust together
; Bind
their
faces
in the hidden
`place'
.
Then I
will confess to
you
that your
own right hand can save you
.
Then will I
also
confess of
thee
That thine
own right hand can save thee
.
Look
at
Behemoth, which I made along
with
you.
He feeds
on
grass like
an ox.
Behold
now,
behemoth, which I made as
well
as
thee;
He eateth
grass as
an ox.
See
the
strength of
his loins and the
power
in the muscles of his belly.
Lo
now,
his
strength is
in
his loins ,
And his
force
is
in the muscles of his belly.
His tail sways
like a cedar ;
the sinews of his thighs are tightly
knit.
He
moveth
his tail like a cedar :
The sinews of his thighs are knit together
.
His bones are tubes of bronze
; his limbs are rods
of iron.
His bones are `as'
tubes of brass
; His limbs are like
bars
of iron.
He is the foremost
of God’s
works;
only his Maker
can
draw
the
sword against
him
.
He is the chief
of the
ways
of
God:
He
`
only '
that
made
him
giveth
him
his sword.
The hills
yield
him their
produce
, while
all the beasts of the field play nearby
.
Surely
the mountains
bring
him forth
food
, Where
all the beasts of the field do
play.
He lies
under the lotus plants
, hidden
among
the reeds
of the marsh
.
He lieth
under the lotus -trees
, In
the covert
of the reed,
and
the
fen
.
The lotus plants
conceal
him in
their shade; the willows of the brook surround
him.
The lotus -trees
cover
him with
their shade; The willows of the brook compass
him about
.
Though
the
river rages
, Behemoth
is
unafraid
; he remains
secure
, though the
Jordan surges
to his mouth.
Behold,
if
a
river overflow
, he
trembleth
not
; He is
confident
, though a
Jordan swell
even
to his mouth.
Can
anyone
capture
him as
he looks
on, or pierce his nose with a snare?
Shall
any
take
him when
he is
on the
watch
, Or pierce through
his nose with a snare?
