1And the LORD said to Job:
2“Will the faultfinder contend with the Almighty?
3Then Job answered the LORD:
4“Behold, I am insignificant. How can I reply to You?
5I have spoken once, but I have no answer —
6Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind and said:
7“Now brace yourself like a man;
8Would you really annul My justice?
9Do you have an arm like God’s?
10Then adorn yourself with majesty and splendor,
11Unleash the fury of your wrath;
12Look on every proud man and humble him;
13Bury them together in the dust;
14Then I will confess to you
15Look at Behemoth, which I made along with you.
16See the strength of his loins
17His tail sways like a cedar;
18His bones are tubes of bronze;
19He is the foremost of God’s works;
20The hills yield him their produce,
21He lies under the lotus plants,
22The lotus plants conceal him in their shade;
of the brook surround him.
23Though the river rages, Behemoth is unafraid;
24Can anyone capture him as he looks on,
