Job Chapter 40

The Webster Bible

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