noyes@Job:40:1 @ Moreover Jehovah spake to Job, and said:

noyes@Job:40:2 @ Will the censurer of the Almighty contend with him? Will the reprover of God answer?

noyes@Job:40:3 @ Then Job answered Jehovah, and said:

noyes@Job:40:4 @ Behold, I am vile! what can I answer thee? I will lay my hand upon my mouth.

noyes@Job:40:5 @ Once have I spoken, but I will not speak again; Yea, twice, but I will say no more.

noyes@Job:40:6 @ Then spake Jehovah to Job out of the whirlwind, and said:

noyes@Job:40:7 @ Gird up now thy loins like a man! I will ask thee, and do thou instruct me!

noyes@Job:40:8 @ Wilt thou even disannul my right? Wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayst be righteous?

noyes@Job:40:9 @ Hast thou an arm like Gods? Or canst thou thunder with thy voice like him?

noyes@Job:40:10 @ Deck thyself with grandeur and majesty, And array thyself in splendor and glory!

noyes@Job:40:11 @ Send forth the fury of thy wrath! Look upon every proud one, and abase him!

noyes@Job:40:12 @ Look upon every proud one, and bring him low; Yea, tread down the wicked in their place!

noyes@Job:40:13 @ Hide them in the dust together; Shut up their faces in darkness!

noyes@Job:40:14 @ Then, indeed, will I give thee the praise, That thine own right hand can save thee.

noyes@Job:40:15 @ Behold the riverhorse, which I have made as well as thyself; He feedeth on grass like the ox.

noyes@Job:40:16 @ Behold, what strength is in his loins! And what force in the muscles of his belly!

noyes@Job:40:17 @ He bendeth his tail, like the cedar, And the sinews of his thighs are twisted together.

noyes@Job:40:18 @ His bones are pipes of brass, And his limbs are bars of iron.

noyes@Job:40:19 @ He is chief among the works of God; He that made him gave him his sword.

noyes@Job:40:20 @ For the mountains supply him with food, Where all the beasts of the field play.

noyes@Job:40:21 @ He lieth down under the loteplants, In the covert of reeds, and in the fens.

noyes@Job:40:22 @ The loteplants cover him with their shadow, And the willows of the brook compass him about.

noyes@Job:40:23 @ Lo! the stream overfloweth, but he starteth not; He is unmoved though Jordan rush forth even to his mouth.

noyes@Job:40:24 @ Can one take him before his eyes, Or pierce his nose with hooks?
