1
Moreover Yahweh answered Job, and said,
2
Will he who criticizes contend with the Almighty?He who argues with God, let him answer it.
3
Then Job answered Yahweh, and said,
4
Look, I am of small account; What shall I answer you?I lay my hand on my mouth.
5
Once I have spoken, and I will not answer;Yes, twice, but I will proceed no further.
6
Then Yahweh answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
7
Gird up your loins now like a [noble] man:I will demand of you, and you declare to me.
8
Will you even annul my judgment?Will you condemn me, that you may be justified?
9
Or do you have an arm like God?And can you thunder with a voice like him?
10
Deck yourself now with excellency and dignity;And array yourself with grandeur and majesty.
11
Pour forth the overflowings of your anger;And look at everyone who is proud, and abase him.
12
Look at everyone who is proud, [and] bring him low;And tread down the wicked where they stand.
13
Hide them in the dust together;Bind their faces in the hidden [place].
14
Then I will also confess of youThat your own right hand can save you.
15
Now look at behemoth, which I made as well as you;He eats grass as an ox.
16
See now, his strength is in his loins,And his force is in the muscles of his belly.
17
He moves his tail like a cedar:The sinews of his thighs are knit together.
18
His bones are [as] tubes of bronze;His limbs are like bars of iron.
19
He is the chief of the ways of God:[Only] he who made him brings his sword near.
20
Surely the mountains bring him forth food,Where all the beasts of the field play.
21
He lies under the lotus-trees,In the covert of the reed, and the fen.
22
The lotus-trees cover him with their shade;The willows of the brook circle him about.
23
Look, if a river overflows, he does not tremble;He is confident, though a Jordan swells even to his mouth.
24
Will any take him before his eyes,Or pierce through his nose with a snare?
