\c 40

\p
|

\v 1 Yahweh continued to speak to Job; he said,
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 2 “Should anyone who wishes to criticize try to correct the Almighty?
|
||
\q He who argues with God, let him answer.”
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\p
|
||
\v 3 Then Job answered Yahweh and said,
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 4 “See, I am insignificant; how can I answer you?
|
||
\q I put my hand over my mouth.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 5 I spoke once, and I will not answer;
|
||
\q indeed, twice, but I will proceed no further.”
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\p
|
||
\v 6 Then Yahweh answered Job out of a fierce storm and said,
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 7 "Now gird up your loins like a man,
|
||
\q for I will ask you questions, and you must answer me.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 8 Will you actually say that I am unjust?
|
||
\q Will you condemn me so you may claim you are right?
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 9 Do you have an arm like God’s?
|
||
\q Can you thunder with a voice like him?
|
||
\b
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 10 Now clothe yourself in glory and dignity;
|
||
\q array yourself in honor and majesty.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 11 Scatter around the excess of your anger;
|
||
\q look at everyone who is proud and bring him down.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 12 Look at everyone who is proud and bring him low;
|
||
\q trample down wicked people where they stand.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 13 Bury them in the earth together;
|
||
\q imprison their faces in the hidden place.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 14 Then will I also acknowledge about you
|
||
\q that your own right hand can save you.
|
||
\b
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 15 Look now at the behemoth, which I made as well as I made you;
|
||
\q he eats grass like an ox.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 16 See now, his strength is in his loins;
|
||
\q his power is in his belly’s muscles.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 17 He moves his tail like a cedar;
|
||
\q his thighs’ muscles are joined together.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 18 His bones are like tubes of bronze;
|
||
\q his legs are like bars of iron.
|
||
\b
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 19 He is the chief of the creatures of God.
|
||
\q Only God, who made him, can defeat him.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 20 For the hills provide him with food;
|
||
\q the beasts of the field play nearby.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 21 He lies under the lotus plants
|
||
\q in the shelter of the reeds, in the marshes.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 22 The lotus plants cover him with their shade;
|
||
\q the willows of the brook are all around him.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 23 See, if a river floods its banks, he does not tremble;
|
||
\q he is confident, though a Jordan River should surge up to his snout.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 24 Can anyone capture him with a hook,
|
||
\q or pierce his nose through with a snare?
