| # Chapter 40
| Moreover, the LORD answered Job, and said,
| Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproveth God, let him answer it.
| Then Job answered the LORD, and said,
| Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay my hand upon my mouth.
| Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yes, twice; but I will proceed no further.
| Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
| Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou to me.
| Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous?
| Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice like his?
| Deck thyself now with majesty and excellence; and array thyself with glory and beauty.
| Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and behold every one that is proud, and abase him.
| Look on every one that is proud, and 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 confess to thee that thy own right hand can save thee.
| Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.
| Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.
| He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his male organs are wrapped together.
| His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.
| He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach him.
| Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.
| He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.
| The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook encompass him.
| Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.
| He taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth through snares.
