Job 40

Job: What Can I Say?

1

Then the LORD said to Job,

2

"Will the faultfinder  acontend with the Almighty? Let him who  breproves God answer it."

3

Then Job answered the LORD and said,

4

"Behold, I am insignificant; what can I reply to You? I  alay my hand on my mouth.

5

"Once I have spoken, and  aI will not answer; Even twice, and I will add nothing more."

God Questions Job

6

Then the  aLORD answered Job out of the storm and said,

7

"Now  agird up your loins like a man; I will  bask you, and you instruct Me.

8

"Will you really  aannul My judgment? Will you  bcondemn Me  cthat you may be justified?

9

"Or do you have an arm like God, And can you  athunder with a voice like His?

10

aAdorn yourself with eminence and dignity, And clothe yourself with honor and majesty.

11

"Pour out  athe overflowings of your anger, And look on everyone who is  bproud, and make him low.

12

"Look on everyone who is proud, and  ahumble him, And  btread down the wicked  1where they stand.

13

aHide them in the dust together; Bind  1them in the hidden place.

14

"Then I will also  1confess to you, That your own right hand can save you.

God's Power Shown in Creatures

15

"Behold now,  1Behemoth, which  aI made  2as well as you; He eats grass like an ox.

16

"Behold now, his strength in his loins And his power in the muscles of his belly.

17

"He bends his tail like a cedar; The sinews of his thighs are knit together.

18

"His bones are tubes of bronze; His  1limbs are like bars of iron.

19

"He is the  afirst of the ways of God; Let his  bmaker bring near his sword.

20

"Surely the mountains  abring him food, And all the beasts of the field  bplay there.

21

"Under the lotus plants he lies down, In the covert of the reeds and the marsh.

22

"The lotus plants cover him with  1shade; The willows of the brook surround him.

23

"If a river  1rages, he is not alarmed; He is confident, though the  aJordan rushes to his mouth.

24

"Can anyone capture him  1when he is on watch, With  2barbs can anyone pierce his nose?
