Job - Chapter: 40


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


40:1	Againe the Lord answered Iob out of the whirle winde, and said,
40:2	Girde vp now thy loynes like a man: I will demaunde of thee, and declare thou vnto me.
40:3	Wilt thou disanul my iudgement? or wilt thou condemne me, that thou mayst be iustified?
40:4	Or hast thou an arme like God? or doest thou thunder with a voyce like him?
40:5	Decke thy selfe now with maiestie and excellencie, and aray thy selfe with beautie and glory.
40:6	Cast abroad the indignation of thy wrath, and beholde euery one that is proude, and abase him.
40:7	Looke on euery one that is arrogant, and bring him lowe: and destroy the wicked in their place.
40:8	Hide them in the dust together, and binde their faces in a secret place.
40:9	Then will I confesse vnto thee also, that thy right hand can saue thee.
40:10	Behold now Behemoth (whom I made with thee) which eateth grasse as an oxe.
40:11	Behold now, his strength is in his loynes, and his force is in the nauil of his belly.
40:12	When hee taketh pleasure, his taile is like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapt together.
40:13	His bones are like staues of brasse, and his small bones like staues of yron.
40:14	He is the chiefe of the wayes of God: he that made him, will make his sworde to approch vnto him.
40:15	Surely the mountaines bring him foorth grasse, where all the beastes of the fielde play.
40:16	Lyeth hee vnder the trees in the couert of the reede and fennes?
40:17	Can the trees couer him with their shadow? or can the willowes of the riuer compasse him about?
40:18	Behold, he spoyleth the riuer, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw vp Iorden into his mouth.
40:19	Hee taketh it with his eyes, and thrusteth his nose through whatsoeuer meeteth him.
40:20	Canst thou drawe out Liuiathan with an hooke, and with a line which thou shalt cast downe vnto his tongue?
40:21	Canst thou cast an hooke into his nose? canst thou perce his iawes with an angle?
40:22	Will he make many prayers vnto thee, or speake thee faire?
40:23	Will hee make a couenant with thee? and wilt thou take him as a seruant for euer?
40:24	Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? or wilt thou bynd him for thy maydes? (Job : ) Shall the companions baket with him? shall they deuide him among the marchants? (Job : ) Canst thou fill the basket with his skinne? or the fishpanier with his head? (Job : ) Lay thine hand vpon him: remember the battel, and do no more so. (Job : ) Behold, his hope is in vaine: for shall not one perish euen at the sight of him?
