Moreover the LORD answered Job,

WEB

“Shall he who argues contend with the Almighty? He who argues with God, let him answer it.”

WEB

Then Job answered the LORD,

WEB

“Behold, I am of small account. What will I answer you? I lay my hand on my mouth.

WEB

I have spoken once, and I will not answer; Yes, twice, but I will proceed no further.”

WEB

Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind:

WEB

“Now brace yourself like a man. I will question you, and you will answer me.

WEB

Will you even annul my judgment? Will you condemn me, that you may be justified?

WEB

Or do you have an arm like God? Can you thunder with a voice like him?

WEB

“Now deck yourself with excellency and dignity. Array yourself with honor and majesty.

WEB

Pour out the fury of your anger. Look at everyone who is proud, and bring him low.

WEB

Look at everyone who is proud, and humble him. Crush the wicked in their place.

WEB

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

WEB

Then I will also admit to you that your own right hand can save you.

WEB

“See now behemoth, which I made as well as you. He eats grass as an ox.

WEB

Look now, his strength is in his thighs. His force is in the muscles of his belly.

WEB

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

WEB

His bones are like tubes of bronze. His limbs are like bars of iron.

WEB

He is the chief of the ways of God. He who made him gives him his sword.

WEB

Surely the mountains produce food for him, where all the animals of the field play.

WEB

He lies under the lotus trees, in the covert of the reed, and the marsh.

WEB

The lotuses cover him with their shade. The willows of the brook surround him.

WEB

Behold, if a river overflows, he doesn’t tremble. He is confident, though the Jordan swells even to his mouth.

WEB

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