Job

Job Humbles Himself before the LORD

1And Jehovah answered Job and said,+ 2Shall he that will contend with the Almighty instruct [him]? he that reprovethGod, let him answer it.+ 3And Job answered Jehovah and said,+ 4Behold, I am nought: what shall I answer thee? I will lay my hand upon my mouth.+ 5Once have I spoken, and I will not answer; yea twice, but I will proceed no further.+

The LORD Challenges Job Again

6And Jehovah answered Job out of the whirlwind and said,+ 7Gird up now thy loins like a man: I will demand of thee, and inform thou me.+ 8Wilt thou also annul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me that thou mayest be righteous?+ 9Hast thou an arm likeGod? or canst thou thunder with a voice like him?+ 10Deck thyself now with glory and excellency, and clothe thyself with majesty and splendour.+ 11Cast abroad the ragings of thine anger, and look on every one that is proud, and abase him:+ 12Look on every one that is proud, bring him low, and tread down the wicked in their place:+ 13Hide them in the dust together; bind their faces in secret.+ 14Then will I also praise thee, because thy right hand saveth thee.+ 15See now the behemoth, which I made with thee: he eateth grass as an ox.+ 16Behold now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the muscles of his belly.+ 17He bendeth his tail like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are woven together.+ 18His bones are tubes of bronze, his members are like bars of iron.+ 19He is the chief ofGod's ways: he that made him gave him his sword.+ 20For the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.+ 21He lieth under lotus-bushes, in the covert of the reed and fen:+ 22Lotus-bushes cover him with their shade; the willows of the brook surround him.+ 23Lo, the river overfloweth — he startleth not: he is confident though a Jordan break forth against his mouth.+ 24Shall he be taken in front? will they pierce through [his] nose in the trap?+
