v1

And the Lord answering Job out of the whirlwind, said:

v2

Gird up thy loins like a man: I will ask thee, and do thou tell me.

v3

Wilt thou make void my judgment: and condemn me, that thou mayst be justified?

v4

And hast thou an arm like God, and canst thou thunder with a voice like him?

v5

Clothe thyself with beauty, and set thyself up on high and be glorious, and put on goodly garments.

v6

Scatter the proud in thy indignation, and behold every arrogant man, and humble him.

v7

Look on all that are proud, and confound them, and crush the wicked in their place.

v8

Hide them in the dust together, and plunge their faces into the pit.

v9

Then I will confess that thy right hand is able to save thee.

v10

Behold behemoth whom I made with thee, he eateth grass like an ox.

v11

His strength is in his loins, and his force in the navel of his belly.

v12

He setteth up his tail like a cedar, the sinews of his testicles are wrapped together.

v13

His bones are like pipes of brass, his gristle like plates of iron.

v14

He is the beginning of the ways of God, who made him, he will apply his sword.

v15

To him the mountains bring forth grass: there all the beasts of the field shall play.

v16

He sleepeth under the shadow, in the covert of the reed, and in moist places.

v17

The shades cover his shadow, the willows of the brook shall compass him about.

v18

Behold, he will drink up a river, and not wonder: and he trusteth that the Jordan may run into his mouth.

v19

In his eyes as with a hook he shall take him, and bore through his nostrils with stakes.

v20

Canst thou draw out the leviathan with a hook, or canst thou tie his tongue with a cord?

v21

Canst thou put a ring in his nose, or bore through his jaw with a buckle?

v22

Will he make many supplications to thee, or speak soft words to thee?

v23

Will he make a covenant with thee, and wilt thou take him to be a servant for ever?

v24

Shalt thou play with him as with a bird, or tie him up for thy handmaids?

v25

Shall friends cut him in pieces, shall merchants divide him?

v26

Wilt thou fill nets with his skin, and the cabins of fishes with his head?

v27

Lay thy hand upon him: remember the battle, and speak no more.

v28

Behold his hope shall fail him, and in the sight of all he shall be cast down.
