Job 40

Moreover Jehovah answered Job, and said,

Shall he that cavilleth contend with the Almighty?

Then Job answered Jehovah, and said,

Behold, I am of small account; what shall I answer thee?

Once have I spoken, and I will not answer;

Then Jehovah answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,

Gird up thy loins now like a man:

Wilt thou even annul my judgment?

Or hast thou an arm like God?

Deck thyself now with excellency and dignity;

Pour forth the overflowings of thine anger;

Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low;

Hide them in the dust together;

Then will I also confess of thee

Behold now, behemoth, which I made as well as thee;

Lo now, his strength is in his loins,

He moveth his tail like a cedar:

His bones are as tubes of brass;

He is the chief of the ways of God:

Surely the mountains bring him forth food,

He lieth under the lotus-trees,

The lotus-trees cover him with their shade;

Behold, if a river overflow, he trembleth not;

Shall any take him when he is on the watch,
