1Moreover the LORD answered Job, and said,studyinterlinear

2Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproveth God, let him answer it.studyinterlinear

3Then Job answered the LORD, and said,studyinterlinear

4Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay mine hand upon my mouth.studyinterlinear

5Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea, twice; but I will proceed no further.studyinterlinear

6Then answered the LORD unto Job out of the whirlwind, and said,studyinterlinear

7Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.studyinterlinear

8Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous?studyinterlinear

9Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice like him?studyinterlinear

10Deck thyself now with majesty and excellency; and array thyself with glory and beauty.studyinterlinear

11Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and behold every one that is proud, and abase him.studyinterlinear

12Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place.studyinterlinear

13Hide them in the dust together; and bind their faces in secret.studyinterlinear

14Then will I also confess unto thee that thine own right hand can save thee.studyinterlinear

15Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.studyinterlinear

16Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.studyinterlinear

17He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.studyinterlinear

18His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.studyinterlinear

19He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him.studyinterlinear

20Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.studyinterlinear

21He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.studyinterlinear

22The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.studyinterlinear

23Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.studyinterlinear

24He taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth through snares.studyinterlinear
