Job 40
<p class="default">Job 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, 
  <b>4. Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay mine hand upon my mouth.</b> 
- Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea, twice; but I will proceed no further. 
- Then answered the Lord unto Job out of the whirlwind, and said, 
  <b>7. Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.</b> 
- 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 him? 
- Deck thyself now with majesty and excellency; 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; and bind their faces in secret. 
- Then will I also confess unto thee that thine 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 stones are wrapped together. 
- His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron. 
  <b>19. He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him.</b> 
- 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 compass him about. 
- 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. </p>
