Moreover the LORD{H3068} answered{H6030}{(H8799)} Job{H347}, and said{H559}{(H8799)},

Shall he that contendeth{H7378}{(H8800)} with the Almighty{H7706} instruct{H3250} him? he that reproveth{H3198}{(H8688)} God{H433}, let him answer{H6030}{(H8799)} it.

Then Job{H347} answered{H6030}{(H8799)} the LORD{H3068}, and said{H559}{(H8799)},

Behold, I am vile{H7043}{(H8804)}; what shall I answer{H7725}{(H8686)} thee? I will lay{H7760}{(H8804)} mine hand{H3027} upon{H3926} my mouth{H6310}.

Once{H259} have I spoken{H1696}{(H8765)}; but I will not answer{H6030}{(H8799)}: yea, twice{H8147}; but I will proceed no further{H3254}{(H8686)}.

Then answered{H6030}{(H8799)} the LORD{H3068} unto Job{H347} out of the whirlwind{H5591}, and said{H559}{(H8799)},

Gird up{H247}{(H8798)} thy loins{H2504} now like a man{H1397}: I will demand{H7592}{(H8799)} of thee, and declare{H3045}{(H8685)} thou unto me.

Wilt thou also disannul{H6565}{(H8686)} my judgment{H4941}? wilt thou condemn{H7561}{(H8686)} me, that thou mayest be righteous{H6663}{(H8799)}?

Hast thou an arm{H2220} like God{H410}? or canst thou thunder{H7481}{(H8686)} with a voice{H6963} like him?

Deck{H5710}{(H8798)} thyself now with majesty{H1347} and excellency{H1363}; and array{H3847}{(H8799)} thyself with glory{H1935} and beauty{H1926}.

Cast abroad{H6327}{(H8685)} the rage{H5678} of thy wrath{H639}: and behold{H7200}{(H8798)} every one that is proud{H1343}, and abase{H8213}{(H8685)} him.

Look{H7200}{(H8798)} on every one that is proud{H1343}, and bring him low{H3665}{(H8685)}; and tread down{H1915}{(H8798)} the wicked{H7563} in their place.

Hide{H2934}{(H8798)} them in the dust{H6083} together{H3162}; and bind{H2280}{(H8798)} their faces{H6440} in secret{H2934}{(H8803)}.

Then will I also confess{H3034}{(H8686)} unto thee that thine own right hand{H3225} can save{H3467}{(H8686)} thee.

Behold now behemoth{H930}, which I made{H6213}{(H8804)} with thee; he eateth{H398}{(H8799)} grass{H2682} as an ox{H1241}.

Lo now, his strength{H3581} is in his loins{H4975}, and his force{H202} is in the navel{H8306} of his belly{H990}.

He moveth{H2654}{(H8799)} his tail{H2180} like a cedar{H730}: the sinews{H1517} of his stones{H6344} are wrapped together{H8276}{(H8792)}.

His bones{H6106} are as strong{H650} pieces of brass{H5154}; his bones{H1634} are like bars{H4300} of iron{H1270}.

He is the chief{H7225} of the ways{H1870} of God{H410}: he that made{H6213}{(H8802)} him can make{H5066} his sword{H2719} to approach{H5066}{(H8686)} unto him.

Surely the mountains{H2022} bring him forth{H5375}{(H8799)} food{H944}, where all the beasts{H2416} of the field{H7704} play{H7832}{(H8762)}.

He lieth{H7901}{(H8799)} under the shady trees{H6628}, in the covert{H5643} of the reed{H7070}, and fens{H1207}.

The shady trees{H6628} cover{H5526}{(H8799)} him with their shadow{H6752}; the willows{H6155} of the brook{H5158} compass him about{H5437}{(H8799)}.

Behold, he drinketh up{H6231}{(H8799)} a river{H5104}, and hasteth{H2648}{(H8799)} not: he trusteth{H982}{(H8799)} that he can draw up{H1518}{(H8799)} Jordan{H3383} into his mouth{H6310}.

He taketh{H3947}{(H8799)} it with his eyes{H5869}: his nose{H639} pierceth through{H5344}{(H8799)} snares{H4170}.
