Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.

Moreover, the LORD answered Job, and said,

Behold, I am vile; 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 his?

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

Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,

Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and behold every one that is proud, and abase him.

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

He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his male organs are wrapped together.

Deck thyself now with majesty and excellence; and array thyself with glory and beauty.

He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach him.

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

Then Job answered the LORD, and said,

His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.

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

He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.

Then will I also confess to thee that thy own right hand can save thee.

Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.

Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yes, twice; but I will proceed no further.

Surely 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.

Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.

The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook encompass him.

He taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth through snares.
