- The LORD said to Job:
- "Will the one who contends with the Almighty correct him? Let him who accuses God answer him!"
- Then Job answered the LORD:
- "I am unworthy—how can I reply to you? I put my hand over my mouth.
- I spoke once, but I have no answer— twice, but I will say no more."
- Then the LORD spoke to Job out of the storm:
- "Brace yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall answer me.
- "Would you discredit my justice? Would you condemn me to justify yourself?
- Do you have an arm like God's, and can your voice thunder like his?
- Then adorn yourself with glory and splendor, and clothe yourself in honor and majesty.
- Unleash the fury of your wrath, look at all who are proud and bring them low,
- look at all who are proud and humble them, crush the wicked where they stand.
- Bury them all in the dust together; shroud their faces in the grave.
- Then I myself will admit to you that your own right hand can save you.
- "Look at Behemoth, which I made along with you and which feeds on grass like an ox.
- What strength it has in its loins, what power in the muscles of its belly!
- Its tail sways like a cedar; the sinews of its thighs are close-knit.
- Its bones are tubes of bronze, its limbs like rods of iron.
- It ranks first among the works of God, yet its Maker can approach it with his sword.
- The hills bring it their produce, and all the wild animals play nearby.
- Under the lotus plants it lies, hidden among the reeds in the marsh.
- The lotuses conceal it in their shadow; the poplars by the stream surround it.
- A raging river does not alarm it; it is secure, though the Jordan should surge against its mouth.
- Can anyone capture it by the eyes, or trap it and pierce its nose?
