(ERV)
Job
40
:
1
Moreover the LORD answered Job, and said,
(ERV)
Job
40
:
2
Shall he that cavilleth contend with the Almighty? he that argueth with God, let him answer it.
(ERV)
Job
40
:
3
Then Job answered the LORD, and said,
(ERV)
Job
40
:
4
Behold, I am of small account; what shall I answer thee? I lay mine hand upon my mouth.
(ERV)
Job
40
:
5
Once have I spoken, and I will not answer; yea twice, but I will proceed no further.
(ERV)
Job
40
:
6
Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
(ERV)
Job
40
:
7
Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.
(ERV)
Job
40
:
8
Wilt thou even disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be justified?
(ERV)
Job
40
:
9
Or hast thou an arm like God? and canst thou thunder with a voice like him?
(ERV)
Job
40
:
10
Deck thyself now with excellency and dignity; and array thyself with honour and majesty.
(ERV)
Job
40
:
11
Pour forth the overflowings of thine anger: and look upon every one that is proud, and abase him.
(ERV)
Job
40
:
12
Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked where they stand.
(ERV)
Job
40
:
13
Hide them in the dust together; bind their faces in the hidden place.
(ERV)
Job
40
:
14
Then wilt I also confess of thee that thine own right hand can save thee.
(ERV)
Job
40
:
15
Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as all ox.
(ERV)
Job
40
:
16
Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the muscles of his belly.
(ERV)
Job
40
:
17
He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his thighs are knit together.
(ERV)
Job
40
:
18
His bones are as tubes of brass; his limbs are like bars of iron.
(ERV)
Job
40
:
19
He is the chief of the ways of God: he only that made him can make his sword to approach unto him.
(ERV)
Job
40
:
20
Surely the mountains bring him forth food; where all the beasts of the field do play.
(ERV)
Job
40
:
21
He lieth under the lotus trees, in the covert of the reed, and the fen.
(ERV)
Job
40
:
22
The lotus trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.
(ERV)
Job
40
:
23
Behold, if a river overflow, he trembleth not: he is confident, though Jordan swell even to his mouth.
(ERV)
Job
40
:
24
Shall any take him when he is on the watch, or pierce through his nose with a snare?
