1 (39:31) And the Lord God answered Job, and said,
2 (39:32) Will any one pervert judgment with the Mighty One? and he that reproves God, let him return it for answer.
3 (39:33) And Job answered and said to the Lord,
4 (39:34) Why do I yet plead? being rebuked even while reproving the Lord: hearing such things, whereas I am nothing: and what shall I answer to these arguments? I will lay my hand upon my mouth.
5 (39:35) I have spoken once; but I will not do so a second time.
6 (40:1) And the Lord yet again answered and spoke to Job out of the cloud, saying,
7 (40:2) Nay, gird up now thy loins like a man; and I will ask thee, and do thou answer me.
8 (40:3) Do not set aside my judgment: and dost thou think that I have dealt with thee in any other way, than that thou mightest appear to be righteous?
9 (40:4) Hast thou an arm like the Lord's? or dost thou thunder with a voice like his?
10 (40:5) Assume now a lofty bearing and power; and clothe thyself with glory and honour.
11 (40:6) And send forth messengers with wrath; and lay low every haughty one.
12 (40:7) Bring down also the proud man; and consume at once the ungodly.
13 (40:8) And hide them together in the earth; and fill their faces with shame.
14 (40:9) Then will I confess that thy right hand can save thee.
15 (40:10) But now look at the wild beasts with thee; they eat grass like oxen.
16 (40:11) Behold now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.
17 (40:12) He sets up his tail like a cypress; and his nerves are wrapped together.
18 (40:13) His sides are sides of brass; and his backbone is as cast iron.
19 (40:14) This is the chief of the creation of the Lord; made to be played with by his angels.
20 (40:15) And when he has gone up to a steep mountain, he causes joy to the quadrupeds in the deep.
21 (40:16) He lies under trees of every kind, by the papyrus, and reed, and bulrush.
22 (40:17) And the great trees make a shadow over him with their branches, and so do the bushes of the field.
23 (40:18) If there should be a flood, he will not perceive it; he trust that Jordan will rush up into his mouth.
24 (40:19) Yet one shall take him in his sight; one shall catch him with a cord, and pierce his nose.
