| 40:1 | Moreover the LORD answered Job, and said, |
| 40:2 | Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct [him]? he that reproveth God, let him answer it. |
| 40:3 | Then Job answered the LORD, and said, |
| 40:4 | Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay my hand upon my mouth. |
| 40:5 | Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea, twice; but I will proceed no further. |
| 40:6 | Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said, |
| 40:7 | Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou to me. |
| 40:8 | Wilt thou also settest aside my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous? |
| 40:9 | Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice like his? |
| 40:10 | Deck thyself now [with] majesty and excellency; and array thyself with glory and beauty. |
| 40:11 | Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and behold every one [that is] proud, and abase him. |
| 40:12 | Look on every one [that is] proud, [and] bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place. |
| 40:13 | Hide them in the dust together; bind their faces in secret. |
| 40:14 | Then will I also confess to thee that thy own right hand can save thee. |
| 40:15 | Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox. |
| 40:16 | Lo now, his strength [is] in his loins, and his force [is] in the sinew of his belly. |
| 40:17 | He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his thighs are knit together. |
| 40:18 | His bones [are as] strong pieces of brass; his bones [are] like bars of iron. |
| 40:19 | He [is] the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach [him]. |
| 40:20 | Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play. |
| 40:21 | He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens. |
| 40:22 | The shady trees cover him [with] their shadow; the willows of the brook surround him. |
| 40:23 | Behold, he drinketh up a river, [and] hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth. |
| 40:24 | He taketh it with his eyes: [his] nose pierceth through snares. |
