Job 40

1 Moreover the LORD answered Job, and said,
Compare verse
2 Shall he that contends with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproves God, let him answer it.
Compare verse
3 Then Job answered the LORD, and said,
Compare verse
4 Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer you? I will lay my hand on my mouth.
Compare verse
5 Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yes, twice; but I will proceed no further.
Compare verse
6 Then answered the LORD to Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
Compare verse
7 Gird up your loins now like a man: I will demand of you, and declare you to me.
Compare verse
8 Will you also cancel my judgment? will you condemn me, that you may be righteous?
Compare verse
9 Have you an arm like God? or can you thunder with a voice like him?
Compare verse
10 Deck yourself now with majesty and excellency; and array yourself with glory and beauty.
Compare verse
11 Cast abroad the rage of your wrath: and behold every one that is proud, and abase him.
Compare verse
12 Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place.
Compare verse
13 Hide them in the dust together; and bind their faces in secret.
Compare verse
14 Then will I also confess to you that your own right hand can save you.
Compare verse
15 Behold now behemoth, which I made with you; he eats grass as an ox.
Compare verse
16 See now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.
Compare verse
17 He moves his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.
Compare verse
18 His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.
Compare verse
19 He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach to him.
Compare verse
20 Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.
Compare verse
21 He lies under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.
Compare verse
22 The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.
Compare verse
23 Behold, he drinks up a river, and hastens not: he trusts that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.
Compare verse
24 He takes it with his eyes: his nose pierces through snares.
