Job  


40 : 1 The LORD said to Job:
40 : 2 Will the one who contends with the Almighty correct him? Let him who accuses God answer him!
40 : 3 Then Job answered the LORD :
40 : 4 I am unworthy--how can I reply to you? I put my hand over my mouth.
40 : 5 I spoke once, but I have no answer-- twice, but I will say no more."
40 : 6 Then the LORD spoke to Job out of the storm:
40 : 7 Brace yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall answer me.
40 : 8 Would you discredit my justice? Would you condemn me to justify yourself?
40 : 9 Do you have an arm like God`s, and can your voice thunder like his?
40 : 10 Then adorn yourself with glory and splendor, and clothe yourself in honor and majesty.
40 : 11 Unleash the fury of your wrath, look at every proud man and bring him low,
40 : 12 look at every proud man and humble him, crush the wicked where they stand.
40 : 13 Bury them all in the dust together; shroud their faces in the grave.
40 : 14 Then I myself will admit to you that your own right hand can save you.
40 : 15 Look at the behemoth, which I made along with you and which feeds on grass like an ox.
40 : 16 What strength he has in his loins, what power in the muscles of his belly!
40 : 17 His tail sways like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are close-knit.
40 : 18 His bones are tubes of bronze, his limbs like rods of iron.
40 : 19 He ranks first among the works of God, yet his Maker can approach him with his sword.
40 : 20 The hills bring him their produce, and all the wild animals play nearby.
40 : 21 Under the lotus plants he lies, hidden among the reeds in the marsh.
40 : 22 The lotuses conceal him in their shadow; the poplars by the stream surround him.
40 : 23 When the river rages, he is not alarmed; he is secure, though the Jordan should surge against his mouth.
40 : 24 Can anyone capture him by the eyes, or trap him and pierce his nose?
