7“Now [441]tighten the belt on your waist like a man; I will ask you, and you instruct Me.
8Will you really nullify My judgment? Will you condemn Me so that you may be justified?
9Or do you have an arm like God, And can you thunder with a voice like His?
10“Adorn yourself with pride and dignity, And clothe yourself with honor and majesty.
11Let out your outbursts of anger, And look at everyone who is arrogant, and humble him.
12Look at everyone who is arrogant, and humble him, And trample down the wicked [442]where they stand.
13Hide them together in the dust; Imprison [443]them in the hidden place.
14Then I will also [444]confess to you, That your own right hand can save you.
God’s Power Shown in Creatures
15“Behold, [445]Behemoth, which I made [446]as well as you; He eats grass like an ox.
16Behold, his strength in his waist, And his power in the muscles of his belly.
17He hangs his tail like a cedar; The tendons of his thighs are knit together.
18His bones are tubes of bronze; His [447]limbs are like bars of iron.
19“He is the first of the ways of God; Let his Maker bring His sword near.
20Indeed the [448]mountains bring him food, And all the animals of the field play there.
21He lies down under the lotus plants, In the hiding place of the reeds and the marsh.
22The lotus plants cover him with [449]shade; The willows of the brook surround him.
23If a river [450]rages, he is not alarmed; He is confident, though the Jordan rushes to his mouth.
24Can anyone capture him [451]when he is on watch, Can anyone pierce his nose with barbs?
