| # Chapter 40
| And Jehovah answered Job and said,
| Shall he that will contend with the Almighty instruct [him]? he that reproveth +God, let him answer it.
| And Job answered Jehovah and said,
| Behold, I am nought: what shall I answer thee? I will lay my hand upon my mouth.
| Once have I spoken, and I will not answer; yea twice, but I will proceed no further.
| And Jehovah answered Job out of the whirlwind and said,
| Gird up now thy loins like a man: I will demand of thee, and inform thou me.
| Wilt thou also annul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me that thou mayest be righteous?
| Hast thou an arm like łGod? or canst thou thunder with a voice like him?
| Deck thyself now with glory and excellency, and clothe thyself with majesty and splendour.
| Cast abroad the ragings of thine anger, and look on every one that is proud, and abase him:
| Look on every one that is proud, bring him low, and tread down the wicked in their place:
| Hide them in the dust together; bind their faces in secret.
| Then will I also praise thee, because thy right hand saveth thee.
| See now the behemoth, which I made with thee: he eateth grass as an ox.
| Behold now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the muscles of his belly.
| He bendeth his tail like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are woven together.
| His bones are tubes of bronze, his members are like bars of iron.
| He is the chief of łGod's ways: he that made him gave him his sword.
| For the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.
| He lieth under lotus-bushes, in the covert of the reed and fen:
| Lotus-bushes cover him with their shade; the willows of the brook surround him.
| Lo, the river overfloweth -- he startleth not: he is confident though a Jordan break forth against his mouth.
| Shall he be taken in front? will they pierce through [his] nose in the trap?

Job 41
