✠ Job 40

JOB 40:1 And the Lord answering Job out of the whirlwind, said:

JOB 40:2 Gird up thy loins like a man: I will ask thee, and do thou tell me.

JOB 40:3 Wilt thou make void my judgment: and condemn me, that thou mayst be justified?

JOB 40:4 And hast thou an arm like God, and canst thou thunder with a voice like him?

JOB 40:5 Clothe thyself with beauty, and set thyself up on high and be glorious, and put on goodly garments.

JOB 40:6 Scatter the proud in thy indignation, and behold every arrogant man, and humble him.

JOB 40:7 Look on all that are proud, and confound them, and crush the wicked in their place.

JOB 40:8 Hide them in the dust together, and plunge their faces into the pit.

JOB 40:9 Then I will confess that thy right hand is able to save thee.

JOB 40:10 Behold behemoth whom I made with thee, he eateth grass like an ox.

JOB 40:11 His strength is in his loins, and his force in the navel of his belly.

JOB 40:12 He setteth up his tail like a cedar, the sinews of his testicles are wrapped together.

JOB 40:13 His bones are like pipes of brass, his gristle like plates of iron.

JOB 40:14 He is the beginning of the ways of God, who made him, he will apply his sword.

JOB 40:15 To him the mountains bring forth grass: there all the beasts of the field shall play.

JOB 40:16 He sleepeth under the shadow, in the covert of the reed, and in moist places.

JOB 40:17 The shades cover his shadow, the willows of the brook shall compass him about.

JOB 40:18 Behold, he will drink up a river, and not wonder: and he trusteth that the Jordan may run into his mouth.

JOB 40:19 In his eyes as with a hook he shall take him, and bore through his nostrils with stakes.

JOB 40:20 Canst thou draw out the leviathan with a hook, or canst thou tie his tongue with a cord?

JOB 40:21 Canst thou put a ring in his nose, or bore through his jaw with a buckle?

JOB 40:22 Will he make many supplications to thee, or speak soft words to thee?

JOB 40:23 Will he make a covenant with thee, and wilt thou take him to be a servant for ever?

JOB 40:24 Shalt thou play with him as with a bird, or tie him up for thy handmaids?

JOB 40:25 Shall friends cut him in pieces, shall merchants divide him?

JOB 40:26 Wilt thou fill nets with his skin, and the cabins of fishes with his head?

JOB 40:27 Lay thy hand upon him: remember the battle, and speak no more.

JOB 40:28 Behold his hope shall fail him, and in the sight of all he shall be cast down.
