¹ (39-31) And the Lord went on, and said to Job:² (39-32) Shall he that contendeth with God be so easily silenced? surely he that reproveth God, ought to answer him.³ (39-33) Then Job answered the Lord, and said:⁴ (39-34) What can I answer, who hath spoken inconsiderately? I will lay my hand upon my mouth.⁵ (39-35) One thing I have spoken, which I wish I had not said: and another, to which I will add no more.

⁶ (40-1) And the Lord answering Job out of the whirlwind, said:⁷ (40-2) Gird up thy loins like a man: I will ask thee, and do thou tell me.⁸ (40-3) Wilt thou make void my judgment: and condemn me, that thou mayst be justified?⁹ (40-4) And hast thou an arm like God, and canst thou thunder with a voice like him?¹⁰ (40-5) Clothe thyself with beauty, and set thyself up on high, and be glorious, and put on goodly garments.¹¹ (40-6) Scatter the proud in thy indignation, and behold every arrogant man, and humble him.¹² (40-7) Look on all that are proud, and confound them, and crush the wicked in their place,¹³ (40-8) Hide them in the dust together, and plunge their faces into the pit.¹⁴ (40-9) Then I will confess that thy right hand is able to save thee.

¹⁵ (40-10) Behold behemoth whom I made with thee, he eateth grass like an ox.¹⁶ (40-11) His strength is in his loins, and his force in the navel of his belly.¹⁷ (40-12) He setteth up his tail like a cedar, the sinews of his testicles are wrapped together.¹⁸ (40-13) His bones are like pipes of brass, his gristle like plates of iron.¹⁹ (40-14) He is the beginning of the ways of God, who made him, he will apply his sword.²⁰ (40-15) To him the mountains bring forth grass: there all the beasts of the field shall play.²¹ (40-16) He sleepeth under the shadow, in the covert of the reed, and in moist places.²² (40-17) The shades cover his shadow, the willows of the brook shall compass him about.²³ (40-18) Behold, he will drink up a river, and not wonder: and he trusteth that the Jordan may run into his mouth.²⁴ (40-19) In his eyes as with a hook he shall take him, and bore through his nostrils with stakes.
