Chapter 40

1


 

  And the Lord answering Job out of the whirlwind, said :  

 

 

--

2


 

  Gird up thy loins like a man : I will ask thee, and do thou tell me.  

 

 

--

3


 

  Wilt thou make void my judgment : and condemn me, that thou mayst be justified?  

 

 

--

4


 

  And hast thou an arm like God, and canst thou thunder with a voice like him?  

 

 

--

5


 

  Clothe thyself with beauty, and set thyself up on high and be glorious, and put on goodly garments.  

 

 

--

6


 

  Scatter the proud in thy indignation, and behold every arrogant man, and humble him.  

 

 

--

7


 

  Look on all that are proud, and confound them, and crush the wicked in their place.  

 

 

--

8


 

  Hide them in the dust together, and plunge their faces into the pit.  

 

 

--

9


 

  Then I will confess that thy right hand is able to save thee.  

 

 

--

10


 

  Behold behemoth whom I made with thee, he eateth grass like an ox.  

 

 

--

11


 

  His strength is in his loins, and his force in the navel of his belly.  

 

 

--

12


 

  He setteth up his tail like a cedar, the sinews of his testicles are wrapped together.  

 

 

--

13


 

  His bones are like pipes of brass, his gristle like plates of iron.  

 

 

--

14


 

  He is the beginning of the ways of God, who made him, he will apply his sword.  

 

 

--

15


 

  To him the mountains bring forth grass : there all the beasts of the field shall play.  

 

 

--

16


 

  He sleepeth under the shadow, in the covert of the reed, and in moist places.  

 

 

--

17


 

  The shades cover his shadow, the willows of the brook shall compass him about.  

 

 

--

18


 

  Behold, he will drink up a river, and not wonder : and he trusteth that the Jordan may run into his mouth.  

 

 

--

19


 

  In his eyes as with a hook he shall take him, and bore through his nostrils with stakes.  

 

 

--

20


 

  Canst thou draw out the leviathan with a hook, or canst thou tie his tongue with a cord?  

 

 

--

21


 

  Canst thou put a ring in his nose, or bore through his jaw with a buckle?  

 

 

--

22


 

  Will he make many supplications to thee, or speak soft words to thee?  

 

 

--

23


 

  Will he make a covenant with thee, and wilt thou take him to be a servant for ever?  

 

 

--

24


 

  Shalt thou play with him as with a bird, or tie him up for thy handmaids?  

 

 

--

25


 

  Shall friends cut him in pieces, shall merchants divide him?  

 

 

--

26


 

  Wilt thou fill nets with his skin, and the cabins of fishes with his head?  

 

 

--

27


 

  Lay thy hand upon him : remember the battle, and speak no more.  

 

 

--

28


 

  Behold his hope shall fail him, and in the sight of all he shall be cast down.  

 

 

--
