Job 40:6-24

6Then the 1LordH3068 answeredH6030 JobH347 out of the stormH5591 and saidH559,7“NowH4994 2girdH247 up your loinsH2504 like a manH1397; I will 3askH7592 you, and you instructH3045 Me.8Will you reallyH637 4annulH6565 My judgmentH4941? Will you 5condemnH7561 Me 6that you may be justifiedH6663?9OrH518 do you have an armH2220 like GodH410, And can you 7thunderH7481 with a voiceH6963 likeH3644 His?

10“8AdornH5710 yourselfH5710 with eminenceH1347 and dignityH1363, And clotheH3847 yourselfH3847 with honorH1935 and majestyH1926.11PourH6327 out 9the overflowingsH5678 of your angerH639, And lookH7200 on everyoneH3605 whoH1343 is 10proudH1343, and makeH8213 him lowH8213.12LookH7200 on everyoneH3605 whoH1343 is proudH1343, and 11humbleH3665 him, And 12treadH1915 downH1915 the wickedH7563 13whereH8478 they standH8478.1314HideH2934 them in the dustH6083 togetherH3162; BindH2280 15them in the hiddenH2934 place.14Then I will alsoH1571 16confessH3034 to you, That your own rightH3225 handH3225 can saveH3467 you.

15“BeholdH2009 nowH4994, 17BehemothH930, whichH834 18I madeH6213 19as wellH5973 as you; He eatsH398 grassH2682 like an oxH1241.16BeholdH2009 nowH4994, his strengthH3581 in his loinsH4975 And his powerH202 in the musclesH8306 of his bellyH990.17He bendsH2654 his tailH2180 likeH3644 a cedarH730; The sinewsH1517 of his thighsH6344 are knitH8276 togetherH8276.18His bonesH6106 are tubesH650 of bronzeH5154; His 20limbsH1634 are like barsH4300 of ironH1270.

19“He is the 21firstH7225 of the waysH1870 of GodH410; Let his 22makerH6213 bringH5066 nearH5066 his swordH2719.20SurelyH5608 the mountainsH2022 23bringH5375 him foodH944, And allH3605 the beastsH2421 of the fieldH7704 24playH7832 thereH8033.21UnderH8478 the lotusH6628 plantsH6628 he liesH7901 downH7901, In the covertH5643 of the reedsH7070 and the marshH1207.22The lotusH6628 plantsH6628 coverH5526 him with 25shadeH6738; The willowsH6155 of the brookH5158 surroundH5437 him.23IfH2005 a riverH5104 26ragesH6231, he is not alarmedH2648; He is confidentH982, thoughH3588 the 27JordanH3383 rushesH1518 to his mouthH6310.24Can anyone captureH3947 him 28when he is on watchH5869, With 29barbsH4170 can anyone pierceH5344 his noseH639?
