Job 40 — ASVBT
40Verse 1Moreover Jehovah answered Job, and said,Verse 2Shall he that cavileth contend with the Almighty?
He that argueth with God, let him answer it.Verse 3Then Job answered Jehovah, and said,Verse 4Behold, I am of small account; what shall I answer thee?
I lay my hand upon my mouth.
Verse 5Once have I spoken, and I will not answer;
Yea, twice, but I will proceed no further.Verse 6Then Jehovah answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,Verse 7Gird up thy loins now like a man:
I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.
Verse 8Wilt thou even annul my judgment?
Wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be justified?
Verse 9Or hast thou an arm like God?
And canst thou thunder with a voice like him?Verse 10Deck thyself now with excellency and dignity;
And array thyself with honor and majesty.
Verse 11Pour forth the overflowings of thine anger;
And look upon everyone that is proud, and abase him.
Verse 12Look on everyone that is proud, and bring him low;
And tread down the wicked where they stand.
Verse 13Hide them in the dust together;
Bind their faces in the hidden place.
Verse 14Then will I also confess of thee
That thine own right hand can save thee.Verse 15Behold now, behemoth, which I made as well as thee;He eateth grass as an ox.
Verse 16Lo now, his strength is in his loins,
And his force is in the muscles of his belly.
Verse 17He moveth his tail like a cedar:
The sinews of his thighs are knit together.
Verse 18His bones are as tubes of brass;
His limbs are like bars of iron.Verse 19He is the chief of the ways of God:
He only that made him giveth him his sword.
Verse 20Surely the mountains bring him forth food,
Where all the beasts of the field do play.
Verse 21He lieth under the lotus trees,
In the covert of the reed, and the fen.
Verse 22The lotus trees cover him with their shade;
The willows of the brook compass him about.
Verse 23Behold, if a river overflow, he trembleth not;
He is confident, though a Jordan swell even to his mouth.
Verse 24Shall any take him when he is on the watch,
Or pierce through his nose with a snare?
He that argueth with God, let him answer it.Verse 3Then Job answered Jehovah, and said,Verse 4Behold, I am of small account; what shall I answer thee?
I lay my hand upon my mouth.
