Job 40

New American Standard Bible NAS

1 Then the LORD said to Job,

2 "Will the faultfinder contend with the Almighty? Let him who reproves God answer it."

3 Then Job answered the LORD and said,

4 "Behold, I am insignificant; what can I reply to You? I lay my hand on my mouth.

5 "Once I have spoken, and I will not answer; Even twice, and I will add nothing more."

6 Then the LORD answered Job out of the storm and said,

7 "Now gird up your loins like a man; I will ask you, and you instruct Me.

8 "Will you really annul My judgment? Will you condemn Me that you may be justified?

9 "Or do you have an arm like God, And can you thunder with a voice like His?

10 "Adorn yourself with eminence and dignity, And clothe yourself with honor and majesty.

11 "Pour out the overflowings of your anger, And look on everyone who is proud, and make him low.

12 "Look on everyone who is proud, and humble him, And tread down the wicked where they stand.

13 "Hide them in the dust together; Bind them in the hidden place.

14 "Then I will also confess to you, That your own right hand can save you.

15 "Behold now, Behemoth, which I made as well as you; He eats grass like an ox.

16 "Behold now, his strength in his loins And his power in the muscles of his belly.

17 "He bends his tail like a cedar; The sinews of his thighs are knit together.

18 "His bones are tubes of bronze; His limbs are like bars of iron.

19 "He is the first of the ways of God; Let his maker bring near his sword.

20 "Surely the mountains bring him food, And all the beasts of the field play there.

21 "Under the lotus plants he lies down, In the covert of the reeds and the marsh.

22 "The lotus plants cover him with shade; The willows of the brook surround him.

23 "If a river rages, he is not alarmed; He is confident, though the Jordan rushes to his mouth.

24 "Can anyone capture him when he is on watch, With barbs can anyone pierce his nose?

English Standard Version ESV

1 And the LORD said to Job:

2 "Shall a faultfinder contend with the Almighty? He who argues with God, let him answer it."

3 Then Job answered the LORD and said:

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; twice, but I will proceed no further."

6 Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind and said:

7 "Dress for action like a man; I will question you, and you make it known to me.

8 Will you even put me in the wrong? Will you condemn me that you may be in the right?

9 Have you an arm like God, and can you thunder with a voice like his?

10 "Adorn yourself with majesty and dignity; clothe yourself with glory and splendor.

11 Pour out the overflowings of your anger, and look on everyone who is proud and abase him.

12 Look on everyone who is proud and bring him low and tread down the wicked where they stand.

13 Hide them all in the dust together; bind their faces in the world below.

14 Then will I also acknowledge to you that your own right hand can save you.

15 "Behold, Behemoth, which I made as I made you; he eats grass like an ox.

16 Behold, his strength in his loins, and his power in the muscles of his belly.

17 He makes his tail stiff like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are knit together.

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

19 "He is the first of the works of God; let him who made him bring near his sword!

20 For the mountains yield food for him where all the wild beasts play.

21 Under the lotus plants he lies, in the shelter of the reeds and in the marsh.

22 For his shade the lotus trees cover him; the willows of the brook surround him.

23 Behold, if the river is turbulent he is not frightened; he is confident though Jordan rushes against his mouth.

24 Can one take him by his eyes, or pierce his nose with a snare?
