Job 40 — GMV

40 Verse 1 And the Lord God answered Job and said, ^{Verse 2} Will anyone pervert judgment with the Mighty One? ^{Verse 3} And Job answered and said to the Lord, ^{Verse 4} Why do I yet plead? being rebuked even while reproving the Lord: ^{Verse 5} I have spoken once; but I will not do so a second time. ^{Verse 6} And the Lord yet again answered and spoke to Job out of the cloud, saying, ^{Verse 7} Nay, gird up now thy loins like a man; ^{Verse 8} Do not set aside my judgment: ^{Verse 9} Hast thou an arm like the Lord’s? ^{Verse 10} Assume now a lofty bearing and power; ^{Verse 11} And send forth messengers with wrath; ^{Verse 12} Bring down also the proud man; ^{Verse 13} And hide them together in the earth; ^{Verse 14} Then will I confess that thy right hand can save thee. ^{Verse 15} But now look at the wild beasts with thee; ^{Verse 16} Behold now, his strength is in his loins, ^{Verse 17} He sets up his tail like a cypress; ^{Verse 18} His sides are sides of brass; ^{Verse 19} This is the chief of the creation of the Lord; ^{Verse 20} And when he has gone up to a steep mountain, ^{Verse 21} He lies under trees of every kind, ^{Verse 22} And the great trees make a shadow over him with their branches, ^{Verse 23} If there should be a flood, he will not perceive it; ^{Verse 24} Yet one shall take him in his sight; ^{Verse 25} But wilt thou catch the serpent with a hook, ^{Verse 26} Or wilt thou fasten a ring in his nostril, ^{Verse 27} Will he address thee with a petition? ^{Verse 28} And will he make a covenant with thee? ^{Verse 29} And wilt thou play with him as with a bird? ^{Verse 30} And do the nations feed upon him, ^{Verse 31} And all the ships come together would not be able to bear the mere skin of his tail; ^{Verse 32} But thou shalt lay thy hand upon him once,
