Chapter 40

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.
