 |
| |
| | Job 40:1 | Moreover the LORD answered Job, and said,
| |
| | Job 40:2 | Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproveth God, let him answer it.
| |
| | Job 40:3 | Then Job answered the LORD, and said,
| |
| | Job 40:4 | Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay mine hand upon my mouth.
| |
| | Job 40:5 | Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea, twice; but I will proceed no further.
| |
| | Job 40:6 | Then answered the LORD unto Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
| |
| | Job 40:7 | Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.
| |
| | Job 40:8 | Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous?
| |
| | Job 40:9 | Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice like him?
| |
| | Job 40:10 | Deck thyself now with majesty and excellency; and array thyself with glory and beauty.
| |
| | Job 40:11 | Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and behold every one that is proud, and abase him.
| |
| | Job 40:12 | Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place.
| |
| | Job 40:13 | Hide them in the dust together; and bind their faces in secret.
| |
| | Job 40:14 | Then will I also confess unto thee that thine own right hand can save thee.
| |
| | Job 40:15 | Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.
| |
| | Job 40:16 | Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.
| |
| | Job 40:17 | He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.
| |
| | Job 40:18 | His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.
| |
| | Job 40:19 | He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him.
| |
| | Job 40:20 | Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.
| |
| | Job 40:21 | He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.
| |
| | Job 40:22 | The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.
| |
| | Job 40:23 | Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.
| |
| | Job 40:24 | He taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth through snares.
