  Job.
• Job 40:2
  Moreover the LORD answered Job,

  “Shall he who argues contend with the Almighty? He who argues with God, let him answer it.”
• Job 40:4
  Then Job answered the LORD,
• Job 40:5
  “Behold, I am of small account. What will I answer you? I lay my hand on my mouth.
• Job 40:6
  I have spoken once, and I will not answer; Yes, twice, but I will proceed no further.”
• Job 40:7
  Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind:
• Job 40:8
  “Now brace yourself like a man. I will question you, and you will answer me.
• Job 40:9
  Will you even annul my judgment? Will you condemn me, that you may be justified?
• Job 40:10
  Or do you have an arm like God? Can you thunder with a voice like him?
• Job 40:11
  “Now deck yourself with excellency and dignity. Array yourself with honor and majesty.
• Job 40:12
  Pour out the fury of your anger. Look at everyone who is proud, and bring him low.
• Job 40:13
  Look at everyone who is proud, and humble him. Crush the wicked in their place.
• Job 40:14
  Hide them in the dust together. Bind their faces in the hidden place.
• Job 40:15
  Then I will also admit to you that your own right hand can save you.

  “See now behemoth, which I made as well as you. He eats grass as an ox.
• Job 40:17
  Look now, his strength is in his thighs. His force is in the muscles of his belly.
• Job 40:18
  He moves his tail like a cedar. The sinews of his thighs are knit together.
• Job 40:19
  His bones are like tubes of bronze. His limbs are like bars of iron.
• Job 40:20
  He is the chief of the ways of God. He who made him gives him his sword.
• Job 40:21
  Surely the mountains produce food for him, where all the animals of the field play.

  He lies under the lotus trees, in the covert of the reed, and the marsh.
• Job 40:23
  The lotuses cover him with their shade. The willows of the brook surround him.
• Job 40:24
  Behold, if a river overflows, he doesn’t tremble. He is confident, though the Jordan swells even to his mouth.
• Job 40:25
  Shall any take him when he is on the watch, or pierce through his nose with a snare?
