See now the behemoth, which I made with thee: he eateth grass as an ox.

And Jehovah answered Job and said,

Behold, I am nought: what shall I answer thee? I will lay my hand upon my mouth.

Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice like him?

Shall he that will contend with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproveth +God, let him answer it.

And Jehovah answered Job out of the whirlwind and said,

Cast abroad the ragings of thine anger, and look on every one that is proud, and abase him:

Wilt thou also annul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me that thou mayest be righteous?

He bendeth his tail like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are woven together.

Deck thyself now with glory and excellency, and clothe thyself with majesty and splendour.

He is the chief of God's ways: he that made him gave him his sword.

Look on every one that is proud, bring him low, and tread down the wicked in their place:

And Job answered Jehovah and said,

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

Gird up now thy loins like a man: I will demand of thee, and inform thou me.

He lieth under lotus-bushes, in the covert of the reed and fen:

Then will I also praise thee, because thy right hand saveth thee.

Behold now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the muscles of his belly.

Once have I spoken, and I will not answer; yea twice, but I will proceed no further.

For the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.

Hide them in the dust together; bind their faces in secret.

Lo, the river overfloweth he startleth not: he is confident though a Jordan break forth against his mouth.

Lotus-bushes cover him with their shade; the willows of the brook surround him.

Shall he be taken in front? will they pierce through his nose in the trap?
