ASV

Moreover Jehovah answered Job, and said,

ASV

Shall he that cavilleth contend with the Almighty? He that argueth with God, let him answer it.

ASV

Then Job answered Jehovah, and said,

ASV

Behold, I am of small account; what shall I answer thee? I lay my hand upon my mouth.

ASV

Once have I spoken, and I will not answer; Yea, twice, but I will proceed no further.

ASV

Then Jehovah answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,

ASV

Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.

ASV

Wilt thou even annul my judgment? Wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be justified?

ASV

Or hast thou an arm like God? And canst thou thunder with a voice like him?

ASV

Deck thyself now with excellency and dignity; And array thyself with honor and majesty.

ASV

Pour forth the overflowings of thine anger; And look upon every one that is proud, and abase him.

ASV

Look on every one that is proud, [and] bring him low; And tread down the wicked where they stand.

ASV

Hide them in the dust together; Bind their faces in the hidden [place].

ASV

Then will I also confess of thee That thine own right hand can save thee.

ASV

Behold now, behemoth, which I made as well as thee; He eateth grass as an ox.

ASV

Lo now, his strength is in his loins, And his force is in the muscles of his belly.

ASV

He moveth his tail like a cedar: The sinews of his thighs are knit together.

ASV

His bones are [as] tubes of brass; His limbs are like bars of iron.

ASV

He is the chief of the ways of God: He [only] that made him giveth him his sword.

ASV

Surely the mountains bring him forth food, Where all the beasts of the field do play.

ASV

He lieth under the lotus-trees, In the covert of the reed, and the fen.

ASV

The lotus-trees cover him with their shade; The willows of the brook compass him about.

ASV

Behold, if a river overflow, he trembleth not; He is confident, though a Jordan swell even to his mouth.

ASV

Shall any take him when he is on the watch, Or pierce through his nose with a snare?
