| 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. |
