1And the Lord xsaid to Job:
2“Shall a faultfinder ycontend with the Almighty?
He who argues with God, let him answer it.”
Job Promises Silence
3Then Job answered the Lord and said:
4“Behold, I am zof small account; what shall I answer you?
aI lay my hand on my mouth.
5I have spoken bonce, and I will not answer;
btwice, but I will proceed no further.”
The Lord Challenges Job
6Then the Lord canswered Job out of the whirlwind and said:
7d“Dress for action1 like a man;
eI will question you, and you make it known to me.
8Will you even put me in the wrong?
Will you condemn me that fyou may be in the right?
9Have you gan arm like God,
and can you thunder with ha voice like his?
10“Adorn yourself with majesty and dignity;
iclothe yourself with glory and splendor.
11Pour out the overflowings of your anger,
and look on everyone who is jproud and abase him.
12Look on everyone who is proud and bring him low
and ktread down the wicked lwhere they stand.
13mHide them all in nthe dust together;
bind their faces in the world below.2
14Then will I also acknowledge to you
that your own oright hand can save you.
15“Behold, Behemoth,3
which I made as I made you;
he eats pgrass like an ox.
16Behold, his strength in his loins,
and his power in the muscles of his belly.
17He makes his tail stiff like a cedar;
the sinews of his thighs are knit together.
18His bones are tubes of bronze,
his limbs like bars of iron.
19“He is qthe first of rthe works4 of God;
let him who made him bring near his sword!
20For the mountains yield food for him
where all the wild beasts play.
21Under the lotus plants he lies,
in the shelter of sthe reeds and in the marsh.
22For his shade the lotus trees cover him;
the willows of the brook surround him.
23Behold, if the river is turbulent he is not frightened;
he is confident though Jordan rushes against his mouth.
24Can one take him by his eyes,5
or pierce his nose with a snare?
