40:1 And
Jehovah
doth
answer
Job,
and
saith:
--
40:2 Is
the
striver
with
the
Mighty
instructed
The
reprover
of
God,
let
him
answer
it.
40:3 And
Job
answereth
Jehovah,
and
saith:
--
40:4 Lo,
I
have
been
vile,
What
do
I
return
to
Thee
My
hand
I
have
placed
on
my
mouth.
40:5 Once
I
have
spoken,
and
I
answer
not,
And
twice,
and
I
add
not.
40:6 And
Jehovah
answereth
Job
out
of
the
whirlwind,
and
saith:
--
40:7 Gird,
I
pray
thee,
as
a
man,
thy
loins,
I
ask
thee,
and
cause
thou
Me
to
know.
40:8 Dost
thou
also
make
void
My
judgment
Dost
thou
condemn
Me,
That
thou
mayest
be
righteous
40:9 And
an
arm
like
God
hast
thou
And
with
a
voice
like
Him
dost
thou
thunder
40:10 Put
on,
I
pray
thee,
excellency
and
loftiness,
Yea,
honour
and
beauty
put
on.
40:11 Scatter
abroad
the
wrath
of
thine
anger,
And
see
every
proud
one,
and
make
him
low.
40:12 See
every
proud
one--humble
him,
And
tread
down
the
wicked
in
their
place.
40:13 Hide
them
in
the
dust
together,
Their
faces
bind
in
secret.
40:14 And
even
I--I
do
praise
thee,
For
thy
right
hand
giveth
salvation
to
thee.
40:15 Lo,
I
pray
thee,
Behemoth,
that
I
made
with
thee:
Grass
as
an
ox
he
eateth.
40:16 Lo,
I
pray
thee,
his
power
[is]
in
his
loins,
And
his
strength
in
the
muscles
of
his
belly.
40:17 He
doth
bend
his
tail
as
a
cedar,
The
sinews
of
his
thighs
are
wrapped
together,
40:18 His
bones
[are]
tubes
of
brass,
His
bones
[are]
as
a
bar
of
iron.
40:19 He
[is]
a
beginning
of
the
ways
of
God,
His
Maker
bringeth
nigh
his
sword;
40:20 For
food
do
mountains
bear
for
him,
And
all
the
beasts
of
the
field
play
there.
40:21 Under
shades
he
lieth
down,
In
a
secret
place
of
reed
and
mire.
40:22 Cover
him
do
shades,
[with]
their
shadow,
Cover
him
do
willows
of
the
brook.
40:23 Lo,
a
flood
oppresseth--he
doth
not
haste,
He
is
confident
though
Jordan
Doth
come
forth
unto
his
mouth.
40:24 Before
his
eyes
doth
[one]
take
him,
With
snares
doth
[one]
pierce
the
nose
