CHAPTER 40

And the LORD

said

to Job:

“Will the faultfinder

contend

with

the Almighty?

Let him who argues

with God

give an answer.”

Then Job

answered

the LORD:

“Behold,

I am insignificant.

How

can I reply to You?

I place

my hand

over

my mouth.

I have spoken

once,

but I have no

answer—

twice,

but I have nothing

to add.”

Then the LORD

answered

Job

out of

the whirlwind

and said:

“Now

brace

yourself

like a man;

I will question you,

and you shall answer Me.

Would you really

annul

My justice?

Would you condemn Me

to

justify yourself?

Do you have an arm

like God’s?

Can you thunder

with a voice

like His?

Then

adorn yourself

with majesty

and splendor,

and clothe

yourself with honor

and glory.

Unleash

the fury

of your wrath;

look on

every

proud man

and bring him low.

Look on

every

proud man

and humble him;

trample

the wicked

where they stand.

Bury

them together

in the dust;

imprison them

in the grave.

Then

I

will confess to you

that

your own right hand

can save

you.

Look at

Behemoth,

which

I made

along with you.

He feeds on

grass

like an ox.

See

the strength

of his loins

and the power

in the muscles

of his belly.

His tail

sways

like

a cedar;

the sinews

of

his thighs

are tightly knit.

His bones

are tubes

of bronze;

his limbs

are rods

of iron.

He

is the foremost

of God’s

works;

only his Maker

can draw the sword

against him.

The hills

yield

him

their produce,

while all

the beasts

of the field

play

nearby.

He lies

under

the lotus plants,

hidden

among the reeds

of the marsh.

The lotus plants

conceal him

in their shade;

the willows

of the brook

surround him.

Though

the river

rages,

Behemoth is unafraid;

he remains secure,

though

the Jordan

surges

to

his mouth.

Can anyone capture him

as he looks on,

or pierce

his nose

with a snare?
