¹ Moreover the LORD answered Iyov, ² "Shall he who argues contend with Shaddai? He who argues with God, let him answer it." ³ Then Iyov answered the LORD, ⁴ "Behold, I am of small account. What shall I answer you? I lay my hand on my mouth. ⁵ I have spoken once, and I will not answer; Yes, twice, but I will proceed no further."

⁶ Then the LORD answered Iyov out of the whirlwind, ⁷ "Now brace yourself like a man. I will question you, and you will answer me. ⁸ Will you even annul my judgment? Will you condemn me, that you may be justified? ⁹ Or have you an arm like God? Can you thunder with a voice like him? ¹⁰ "Now deck yourself with excellency and dignity. Array yourself with honor and majesty. ¹¹ Pour forth the fury of your anger. Look on everyone who is proud, and bring him low. ¹² Look on everyone who is proud, and humble him. Crush the wicked in their place. ¹³ Hide them in the dust together. Bind their faces in the hidden place. ¹⁴ Then I will also admit to you That your own right hand can save you.

¹⁵ "See now, behemot, which I made as well as you. He eats grass as an ox. ¹⁶ Look now, his strength is in his loins, His force is in the muscles of his belly. ¹⁷ He moves his tail like a cedar: The sinews of his thighs are knit together. ¹⁸ His bones are like tubes of brass. His limbs are like bars of iron. ¹⁹ He is the chief of the ways of God. He who made him gives him his sword. ²⁰ Surely the mountains bring him forth food, Where all the animals of the field do play. ²¹ He lies under the lotus trees, In the covert of the reed, and the marsh. ²² The lotuses cover him with their shade. The willows of the brook surround him. ²³ Behold, if a river overflows, he doesn't tremble. He is confident, though the Yarden swells even to his mouth. ²⁴ Shall any take him when he is on the watch, Or pierce through his nose with a snare?
