Job - Chapter 40

1: And the Lord went on, and said to Job :
2: Shall he that contendeth with God be so easily silenced? surely he that reproveth God, ought to answer him.
3: Then Job answered the Lord, and said :
4: - - -
5: One thing I have spoken, which I wish I had not said : and another, to which I will add no more.
6: And the Lord answering Job out of the whirlwind, said :
7: Gird up thy loins like a man : I will ask thee, and do thou tell me.
8: Wilt thou make void my judgment : and condemn me, that thou mayst be justified?
9: And hast thou an arm like God, and canst thou thunder with a voice like him?
10: Clothe thyself with beauty, and set thyself up on high and be glorious, and put on goodly garments.
11: Scatter the proud in thy indignation, and behold every arrogant man, and humble him.
12: Look on all that are proud, and confound them, and crush the wicked in their place.
13: Hide them in the dust together, and plunge their faces into the pit.
14: Then I will confess that thy right hand is able to save thee.
15: Behold behemoth whom I made with thee, he eateth grass like an ox.
16: His strength is in his loins, and his force in the navel of his belly.
17: He setteth up his tail like a cedar, the sinews of his testicles are wrapped together.
18: His bones are like pipes of brass, his gristle like plates of iron.
19: He is the beginning of the ways of God, who made him, he will apply his sword.
20: To him the mountains bring forth grass : there all the beasts of the field shall play.
21: He sleepeth under the shadow, in the covert of the reed, and in moist places.
22: The shades cover his shadow, the willows of the brook shall compass him about.
23: Behold, he will drink up a river, and not wonder : and he trusteth that the Jordan may run into his mouth.
24: In his eyes as with a hook he shall take him, and bore through his nostrils with stakes.
