Job 40

New International Version NIV

1 The LORD said to Job:

2 “Will the one who contends with the Almighty correct him? Let him who accuses God answer him!”

3 Then Job answered the LORD:

4 “I am unworthy—how can I reply to you? I put my hand over my mouth.

5 I spoke once, but I have no answer— twice, but I will say no more.”

6 Then the LORD spoke to Job out of the storm:

7 “Brace yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall answer me.

8 “Would you discredit my justice? Would you condemn me to justify yourself?

9 Do you have an arm like God’s, and can your voice thunder like his?

10 Then adorn yourself with glory and splendor, and clothe yourself in honor and majesty.

11 Unleash the fury of your wrath, look at all who are proud and bring them low,

12 look at all who are proud and humble them, crush the wicked where they stand.

13 Bury them all in the dust together; shroud their faces in the grave.

14 Then I myself will admit to you that your own right hand can save you.

15 “Look at Behemoth, which I made along with you and which feeds on grass like an ox.

16 What strength it has in its loins, what power in the muscles of its belly!

17 Its tail sways like a cedar; the sinews of its thighs are close-knit.

18 Its bones are tubes of bronze, its limbs like rods of iron.

19 It ranks first among the works of God, yet its Maker can approach it with his sword.

20 The hills bring it their produce, and all the wild animals play nearby.

21 Under the lotus plants it lies, hidden among the reeds in the marsh.

22 The lotuses conceal it in their shadow; the poplars by the stream surround it.

23 A raging river does not alarm it; it is secure, though the Jordan should surge against its mouth.

24 Can anyone capture it by the eyes, or trap it and pierce its nose?

Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible RHE

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.
