Chapter 40

1


 

  Moreover Yahweh answered Job,  

 

 

--

2


 

  'Shall he who argues contend with the Almighty? He who argues with God, let him answer it.'  

 

 

--

3


 

  Then Job answered Yahweh,  

 

 

--

4


 

  'Behold, I am of small account. What shall I answer you? I lay my hand on my mouth.  

 

 

--

5


 

  I have spoken once, and I will not answer; Yes, twice, but I will proceed no further.'  

 

 

--

6


 

  Then Yahweh answered Job out of the whirlwind,  

 

 

--

7


 

  'Now brace yourself like a man. I will question you, and you will answer me.  

 

 

--

8


 

  Will you even annul my judgment? Will you condemn me, that you may be justified?  

 

 

--

9


 

  Or have you an arm like God? Can you thunder with a voice like him?  

 

 

--

10


 

  'Now deck yourself with excellency and dignity. Array yourself with honor and majesty.  

 

 

--

11


 

  Pour forth the fury of your anger. Look on everyone who is proud, and bring him low.  

 

 

--

12


 

  Look on everyone who is proud, and humble him. Crush the wicked in their place.  

 

 

--

13


 

  Hide them in the dust together. Bind their faces in the hidden place.  

 

 

--

14


 

  Then I will also admit to you That your own right hand can save you.  

 

 

--

15


 

  'See now, behemoth, which I made as well as you. He eats grass as an ox.  

 

 

--

16


 

  Look now, his strength is in his loins, His force is in the muscles of his belly.  

 

 

--

17


 

  He moves his tail like a cedar: The sinews of his thighs are knit together.  

 

 

--

18


 

  His bones are like tubes of brass. His limbs are like bars of iron.  

 

 

--

19


 

  He is the chief of the ways of God. He who made him gives him his sword.  

 

 

--

20


 

  Surely the mountains bring him forth food, Where all the animals of the field do play.  

 

 

--

21


 

  He lies under the lotus-trees, In the covert of the reed, and the marsh.  

 

 

--

22


 

  The lotuses cover him with their shade. The willows of the brook surround him.  

 

 

--

23


 

  Behold, if a river overflows, he doesn't tremble. He is confident, though the Jordan swells even to his mouth.  

 

 

--

24


 

  Shall any take him when he is on the watch, Or pierce through his nose with a snare?  

 

 

--
