Job 40

Common English Bible CEB

1 The LORD continued to respond to Job:

2 Will the one who disputes with the Almighty correct him? God's instructor must answer him.

3 Job responded to the LORD:

4 Look, I'm of little worth. What can I answer you? I'll put my hand over my mouth.

5 I have spoken once, I won't answer; twice, I won't do it again.

6 The LORD answered Job from the whirlwind:

7 Prepare yourself like a man; I will interrogate you, and you will respond to me.

8 Would you question my justice, deem me guilty so you can be innocent?

9 Or do you have an arm like God; can you thunder with a voice like him?

10 Adorn yourself with splendor and majesty; clothe yourself with honor and esteem.

11 Unleash your raging anger; look on all the proud and humble them.

12 Look on all the proud and debase them; trample the wicked in their place.

13 Hide them together in the dust; bind their faces in a hidden place.

14 Then I, even I, will praise you, for your strong hand has delivered you.

15 Look at Behemoth, whom I made along with you; he eats grass like cattle.

16 Look, his strength is in his thighs, his power in stomach muscles.

17 He stiffens his tail like a cedar; the tendons in his thighs are tightly woven.

18 His bones are like bronze tubes, his limbs like iron bars.

19 He is the first of God's acts; only his maker can come near him with a sword.

20 Indeed, the hills bring him tribute, places where all the wild animals play.

21 He lies under the lotuses, under the cover of reed and marsh.

22 The lotuses screen him with shade; poplars of the stream surround him.

23 If the river surges, he doesn't hurry; he is confident even though the Jordan gushes into his mouth.

24 Can he be seized by his eyes? Can anyone pierce his nose by hooks?

New King James Version NKJV

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, 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.
