| 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, | |
| Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay mine hand upon my mouth. | |
| 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, | |
| Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me. | |
| 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. | |
| He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him. | |
| 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. |
