King James VersionJob40

Job

1 More­over the LORD an­swered Job, and said, 2 Shall he that con­tendeth with the Almighty in­struct him? he that re­proveth God, let him an­swer it. 3 Then Job an­swered the LORD, and said, 4 Be­hold, I am vile; what shall I an­swer thee? I will lay mine hand upon my mouth. 5 Once have I spo­ken; but I will not an­swer: yea, twice; but I will pro­ceed no fur­ther. 6 Then an­swered the LORD unto Job out of the whirl­wind, and said, 7 Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will de­mand of thee, and de­clare thou unto me. 8 Wilt thou also dis­an­nul my judg­ment? wilt thou con­demn me, that thou mayest be righ­teous? 9 Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thun­der with a voice like him? 10 Deck thy­self now with majesty and ex­cel­len­cy; and ar­ray thy­self with glo­ry and beau­ty. 11 Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and be­hold ev­ery one that is proud, and abase him. 12 Look on ev­ery one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place. 13 Hide them in the dust to­geth­er; and bind their faces in se­cret. 14 Then will I also con­fess unto thee that thine own right hand can save thee. 15 Be­hold now be­he­moth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox. 16 Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his bel­ly. 17 He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped to­geth­er. 18 His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron. 19 He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to ap­proach un­to him. 20 Sure­ly the moun­tains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play. 21 He li­eth un­der the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens. 22 The shady trees cov­er him with their shad­ow; the wil­lows of the brook com­pass him about. 23 Be­hold, he drin­keth up a riv­er, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jor­dan into his mouth. 24 He taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth through snares.
