Job 40

Revised Version 1895

1Moreover the LORDH3068 answeredH559 JobH347, and saidH559, 2Shall he that cavilleth contendH7378 with the AlmightyH7706? he that argueth with GodH433, let him answerH6030 it. 3Then JobH347 answeredH559 the LORDH3068, and saidH559, 4BeholdH2005, I am of smallH7043 account; whatH4100 shall I answerH7725 thee? I layH7760 mine handH3027 uponH3027 my mouthH6310. 5OnceH259 have I spokenH1696, and I will notH3808 answerH6030; yea twiceH8147, but I will proceed noH3808 furtherH3254. 6Then the LORDH3068 answeredH559 JobH347 outH4480 of the whirlwind, and saidH559, 7GirdH247 up thy loinsH2504 nowH4994 like a manH1397: I will demandH7592 of thee, and declareH3045 thou unto meH4994. 8Wilt thou evenH637 disannul my judgmentH4941? wilt thou condemnH7561 meH7561, that thou mayest be justifiedH6663? 9Or hast thou an armH2220 like GodH410? and canst thou thunderH6963 with a voiceH6963 like him? 10Deck thyself nowH4994 with excellency and dignityH1363; and arrayH3847 thyself with honour and majestyH1926. 11Pour forth the overflowingsH5678 of thine angerH639: and lookH7200 uponH7200 everyH3605 one that is proudH1343, and abaseH8213 him. 12LookH7200 on everyH3605 one that is proudH1343, and bring him low; and treadH1915 downH1915 the wickedH7563 whereH8478 they standH8478. 13HideH2934 them in the dustH6083 togetherH3162; bindH2280 their facesH6440 in the hiddenH2934 place. 14Then wilt I also confessH3034 of thee that thine own rightH3225 handH3225 canH3225 saveH3467 thee. 15BeholdH2009 nowH4994 behemothH930, whichH834 I madeH6213 with thee; he eateth grassH2682 as allH398 oxH1241. 16LoH2009 nowH4994, his strengthH3581 is in his loinsH4975, and his force is in the musclesH8306 of his bellyH990. 17He moveth his tailH2180 like a cedarH730: the sinewsH1517 of his thighsH6344 are knitH8276 togetherH8276. 18His bonesH6106 are as tubesH650 of brass; his limbsH1634 are like barsH4300 of ironH1270. 19He is the chief of the waysH1870 of GodH410: he only that madeH6213 him canH6213 makeH6213 his swordH2719 to approachH5066 unto him. 20SurelyH3588 the mountainsH2022 bringH5375 him forthH5375 foodH944; whereH8033 allH3605 the beastsH2416 of the fieldH7704 doH3605 playH7832. 21He lieth underH8478 the lotusH6628 trees, in the covert of the reedH7070, and the fen. 22The lotusH6628 trees cover him with their shadow; the willowsH6155 of the brookH5158 compass him aboutH5437. 23BeholdH2005, ifH3588 a riverH5104 overflow, he trembleth notH3808: he is confidentH982, thoughH3588 JordanH3383 swell evenH3588 to his mouthH6310. 24Shall any takeH3947 him when he is on the watchH5869, or pierce through his noseH639 with a snareH4170?
