text: Moreover the LORD answered Job, and said,


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


text: ¶ Then Job answered the LORD, and said,


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


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


text: ¶ Then answered the LORD unto Job out of the whirlwind, and said,


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


text: Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous?


text: Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice like him?


text: Deck thyself now with majesty and excellency; and array thyself with glory and beauty.


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


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


text: Hide them in the dust together; and bind their faces in secret.


text: Then will I also confess unto thee that thine own right hand can save thee.


text: ¶ Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.


text: Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.


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


text: His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.


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


text: Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.


text: He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.


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


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


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