1Moreover the LORD3068 answered6030 Job347, and said559,

2Shall he that contendeth7378 with the Almighty7706 instruct3250 him? he that reproveth3198 God433, let him answer6030 it.

3Then Job347 answered6030 the LORD3068, and said559,

4Behold, I am vile7043; what shall I answer7725 thee? I will lay7760 mine hand3027 upon3926 my mouth6310.

5Once259 have I spoken1696; but I will not answer6030: yea, twice8147; but I will proceed no further3254.

6Then answered6030 the LORD3068 unto Job347 out of the whirlwind5591, and said559,

7Gird up247 thy loins2504 now like a man1397: I will demand7592 of thee, and declare3045 thou unto me.

8Wilt thou also disannul6565 my judgment4941? wilt thou condemn7561 me, that thou mayest be righteous6663?

9Hast thou an arm2220 like God410? or canst thou thunder7481 with a voice6963 like him?

10Deck5710 thyself now with majesty1347 and excellency1363; and array3847 thyself with glory1935 and beauty1926.

11Cast abroad6327 the rage5678 of thy wrath639: and behold7200 every one that is proud1343, and abase8213 him.

12Look7200 on every one that is proud1343, and bring him low3665; and tread down1915 the wicked7563 in their place.

13Hide2934 them in the dust6083 together3162; and bind2280 their faces6440 in secret2934.

14Then will I also confess3034 unto thee that thine own right hand3225 can save3467 thee.

15Behold now behemoth930, which I made6213 with thee; he eateth398 grass2682 as an ox1241. behemoth: or the Elephant as some think

16Lo now, his strength3581 is in his loins4975, and his force202 is in the navel8306 of his belly990.

17He moveth2654 his tail2180 like a cedar730: the sinews1517 of his stones6344 are wrapped together8276. He: or, He setteth up

18His bones6106 are as strong650 pieces of brass5154; his bones1634 are like bars4300 of iron1270.

19He is the chief7225 of the ways1870 of God410: he that made6213 him can make5066 his sword2719 to approach5066 unto him.

20Surely the mountains2022 bring him forth5375 food944, where all the beasts2416 of the field7704 play7832.

21He lieth7901 under the shady trees6628, in the covert5643 of the reed7070, and fens1207.

22The shady trees6628 cover5526 him with their shadow6752; the willows6155 of the brook5158 compass him about5437.

23Behold, he drinketh up6231 a river5104, and hasteth2648 not: he trusteth982 that he can draw up1518 Jordan3383 into his mouth6310. he drinketh up: Heb. he oppresseth

24He taketh3947 it with his eyes5869: his nose639 pierceth through5344 snares4170. He: or, Will any take him in his sight, or, bore his nose with a gin?
