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