rsv@Job:40:1 @ And the LORD said to Job:
rsv@Job:40:2 @ "Shall a faultfinder contend with the Almighty? He who argues with God, let him answer it."
rsv@Job:40:3 @ Then Job answered the LORD:
rsv@Job:40:4 @ "Behold, I am of small account; what shall I answer thee? I lay my hand on my mouth.
rsv@Job:40:5 @ I have spoken once, and I will not answer; twice, but I will proceed no further."
rsv@Job:40:6 @ Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind:
rsv@Job:40:7 @ "Gird up your loins like a man; I will question you, and you declare to me.
rsv@Job:40:8 @ Will you even put me in the wrong? Will you condemn me that you may be justified?
rsv@Job:40:9 @ Have you an arm like God, and can you thunder with a voice like his?
rsv@Job:40:10 @ "Deck yourself with majesty and dignity; clothe yourself with glory and splendor.
rsv@Job:40:11 @ Pour forth the overflowings of your anger, and look on every one that is proud, and abase him.
rsv@Job:40:12 @ Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked where they stand.
rsv@Job:40:13 @ Hide them all in the dust together; bind their faces in the world below.
rsv@Job:40:14 @ Then will I also acknowledge to you, that your own right hand can give you victory.
rsv@Job:40:15 @ "Behold, Be'hemoth, which I made as I made you; he eats grass like an ox.
rsv@Job:40:16 @ Behold, his strength in his loins, and his power in the muscles of his belly.
rsv@Job:40:17 @ He makes his tail stiff like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are knit together.
rsv@Job:40:18 @ His bones are tubes of bronze, his limbs like bars of iron.
rsv@Job:40:19 @ "He is the first of the works of God; let him who made him bring near his sword!
rsv@Job:40:20 @ For the mountains yield food for him where all the wild beasts play.
rsv@Job:40:21 @ Under the lotus plants he lies, in the covert of the reeds and in the marsh.
rsv@Job:40:22 @ For his shade the lotus trees cover him; the willows of the brook surround him.
rsv@Job:40:23 @ Behold, if the river is turbulent he is not frightened; he is confident though Jordan rushes against his mouth.
rsv@Job:40:24 @ Can one take him with hooks, or pierce his nose with a snare?
