Job 40

²Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him?

³Then Job answered the Lord, and said,

⁴Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee?

⁵Once have I spoken; but I will not answer:

⁶Then answered the Lord unto Job out of the whirlwind, and said,

⁷Gird up thy loins now like a man:

⁸Wilt thou also disannul my judgment?

⁹Hast thou an arm like God?

¹⁰Deck thyself now with majesty and excellency;

¹¹Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath:

¹²Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low;

¹³Hide them in the dust together;

¹⁴Then will I also confess unto thee

¹⁵Behold now behemoth,

¹⁶Lo now, his strength is in his loins,

¹⁷He moveth his tail like a cedar:

¹⁸His bones are as strong pieces of brass;

¹⁹He is the chief of the ways of God:

²⁰Surely the mountains bring him forth food,

²¹He lieth under the shady trees,

²²The shady trees cover him with their shadow;

²³Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not:

²⁴He taketh it with his eyes:
