¹ Moreover the LORD answered Job, and said: ² "Shall the one who contends with the Almighty correct Him? He who rebukes God, let him answer it." ³ Then Job answered the LORD and said: ⁴ "Behold, I am vile; What shall I answer You? I lay my hand over my mouth. ⁵ Once I have spoken, but I will not answer; Yes, twice, but I will proceed no further."

⁶ Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said: ⁷ "Now prepare yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall answer Me: ⁸ "Would you indeed annul My judgment? Would you condemn Me that you may be justified? ⁹ Have you an arm like God? Or can you thunder with a voice like His? ¹⁰ Then adorn yourself with majesty and splendor, And array yourself with glory and beauty. ¹¹ Disperse the rage of your wrath; Look on everyone who is proud, and humble him. ¹² Look on everyone who is proud, and bring him low; Tread down the wicked in their place. ¹³ Hide them in the dust together, Bind their faces in hidden darkness. ¹⁴ Then I will also confess to you That your own right hand can save you.

¹⁵ "Look now at the behemoth, [fn] which I made along with you;He eats grass like an ox. ¹⁶ See now, his strength is in his hips, And his power is in his stomach muscles. ¹⁷ He moves his tail like a cedar; The sinews of his thighs are tightly knit. ¹⁸ His bones are like beams of bronze, His ribs like bars of iron. ¹⁹ He is the first of the ways of God; Only He who made him can bring near His sword. ²⁰ Surely the mountains yield food for him, And all the beasts of the field play there. ²¹ He lies under the lotus trees, In a covert of reeds and marsh. ²² The lotus trees cover him with their shade; The willows by the brook surround him. ²³ Indeed the river may rage, Yet he is not disturbed; He is confident, though the Jordan gushes into his mouth, ²⁴ Though he takes it in his eyes, Or one pierces his nose with a snare.
