Job 40:6-24
The LORD Challenges Job Again

6 Then answered the LORD unto Job out of the whirlwind, and said,

6:

7 Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.

7:

8 Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous?

8:

9 Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice like him?

9:

10 Deck thyself now [with] majesty and excellency; and array thyself with glory and beauty.

10:

11 Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and behold every one [that is] proud, and abase him.

11:

12 Look on every one [that is] proud, [and] bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place.

12:

13 Hide them in the dust together; [and] bind their faces in secret.

13:

14 Then will I also confess unto thee that thine own right hand can save thee.

14:

15 Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.

15:

16 Lo now, his strength [is] in his loins, and his force [is] in the navel of his belly.

16:

17 He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.

17:

18 His bones [are as] strong pieces of brass; his bones [are] like bars of iron.

18:

19 He [is] the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach [unto him].

19:

20 Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.

20:

21 He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.

21:

22 The shady trees cover him [with] their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.

22:

23 Behold, he drinketh up a river, [and] hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.

23:

24 He taketh it with his eyes: [his] nose pierceth through snares.

24:
