Job 40
mkjv@Job:40:1 @ And the LORD answered Job and said,
mkjv@Job:40:2 @ Shall a reprover contend with the Almighty? He who reproves God, let him answer it.
mkjv@Job:40:3 @ And Job answered the LORD and said,
mkjv@Job:40:4 @ Behold, I am vile! What shall I answer You? I will lay my hand on my mouth.
mkjv@Job:40:5 @ Once I have spoken; but I will not answer; yea, twice, but I will go no further.
mkjv@Job:40:6 @ And the LORD answered Job out of the tempest, and said,
mkjv@Job:40:7 @ Now gird up your loins like a man. I will question you, and you teach Me.
mkjv@Job:40:8 @ Will you also set aside My judgment? Will you condemn Me so that you may be justified?
mkjv@Job:40:9 @ And [have] you an arm like God? Or can you thunder with a voice like His?
mkjv@Job:40:10 @ Adorn yourself now with majesty and grandeur, and with glory and honor clothe yourself.
mkjv@Job:40:11 @ Pour forth the rage of your wrath; and behold everyone who is proud, and abase him.
mkjv@Job:40:12 @ Look on everyone [who is] proud, [and] bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place.
mkjv@Job:40:13 @ Hide them in the dust together; [and] bind their faces in darkness.
mkjv@Job:40:14 @ Then I also will confess to you that your own right [hand] can save you.
mkjv@Job:40:15 @ Now behold behemoth, which I made along with you; he eats grass like an ox;
mkjv@Job:40:16 @ see, now, his strength [is] in his loins, and his force [is] in the muscles of his belly.
mkjv@Job:40:17 @ He hangs his tail like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are knit together.
mkjv@Job:40:18 @ His bones [are] like tubes of bronze; his bones [are] like bars of iron.
mkjv@Job:40:19 @ He [is] the first of the ways of God; his Maker brings near his sword.
mkjv@Job:40:20 @ For the mountains yield food for him, and all the beasts of the field play there.
mkjv@Job:40:21 @ He lies under the lotus, in the hiding place of the reed and the marsh.
mkjv@Job:40:22 @ The lotus trees cover him [with] their shadow; the willows of the brook surround him.
mkjv@Job:40:23 @ Behold, though a flood presses, he does not run away; he feels safe even if Jordan swells up to his mouth.
mkjv@Job:40:24 @ Shall [any] take him before [his] eyes, or pierce through [his] nose with cords?
