Book of Job, Chapter 40
Chapter 40 of Job
He who argues with God, let him answer it.”
I lay my hand on my mouth.
twice, but I will proceed no further.”
I will question you, and you declare to me.
Will you condemn me that you may be justified?
and can you thunder with a voice like his?
clothe yourself with glory and splendor.
and look on every one that is proud, and abase him.
and tread down the wicked where they stand.
bind their faces in the world below.[a]
that your own right hand can give you victory.
which I made as I made you;
he eats grass like an ox.
and his power in the muscles of his belly.
the sinews of his thighs are knit together.
his limbs like bars of iron.
let him who made him bring near his sword!
where all the wild beasts play.
in the covert of the reeds and in the marsh.
the willows of the brook surround him.
he is confident though Jordan rushes against his mouth.
or pierce his nose with a snare?FOOTNOTES
