Job 40
Big screen- 1Moreover the LORD answered Job, and said,
- 2Shall he that contends with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproves God, let him answer it.
- 3Then Job answered the LORD, and said,
- 4Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer you? I will lay mine hand upon my mouth.
- 5Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea, twice; but I will proceed no further.
- 6Then answered the LORD unto Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
- 7Gird up your loins now like a man: I will demand of you, and declare you unto me.
- 8Will you also nullify my judgment? will you condemn me, that you may be righteous?
- 9Have you an arm like God? or can you thunder with a voice like him?
- 10Deck yourself now with majesty and excellency; and array yourself with glory and beauty.
- 11Cast abroad the rage of your wrath: and behold every one that is proud, and bring low him.
- 12Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place.
- 13Hide them in the dust together; and bind their faces in secret.
- 14Then will I also confess unto you that yours own right hand can save you.
- 15Behold now behemoth, which I made with you; he eats grass as an ox.
- 16Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.
- 17He moves his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.
- 18His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.
- 19He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him.
- 20Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.
- 21He lies under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.
- 22The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.
- 23Behold, he drinks up a river, and hastes not: he trusts that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.
- 24He takes it with his eyes: his nose pierces through snares.
