Holy Bible - New Revised Standard Version(NRSV)

40:1	And the LORD said to Job:
40:2	"Shall a faultfinder contend with the Almighty? Anyone who argues with God must respond."
40:3	Then Job answered the LORD:
40:4	"See, I am of small account; what shall I answer you? I lay my hand on my mouth.
40:5	I have spoken once, and I will not answer; twice, but will proceed no further."
40:6	Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind:
40:7	"Gird up your loins like a man; I will question you, and you declare to me.
40:8	Will you even put me in the wrong? Will you condemn me that you may be justified?
40:9	Have you an arm like God, and can you thunder with a voice like his?
40:10	"Deck yourself with majesty and dignity; clothe yourself with glory and splendor.
40:11	Pour out the overflowings of your anger, and look on all who are proud, and abase them.
40:12	Look on all who are proud, and bring them low; tread down the wicked where they stand.
40:13	Hide them all in the dust together; bind their faces in the world below.
40:14	Then I will also acknowledge to you that your own right hand can give you victory.
40:15	"Look at Behemoth, which I made just as I made you; it eats grass like an ox.
40:16	Its strength is in its loins, and its power in the muscles of its belly.
40:17	It makes its tail stiff like a cedar; the sinews of its thighs are knit together.
40:18	Its bones are tubes of bronze, its limbs like bars of iron.
40:19	"It is the first of the great acts of God-- only its Maker can approach it with the sword.
40:20	For the mountains yield food for it where all the wild animals play.
40:21	Under the lotus plants it lies, in the covert of the reeds and in the marsh.
40:22	The lotus trees cover it for shade; the willows of the wadi surround it.
40:23	Even if the river is turbulent, it is not frightened; it is confident though Jordan rushes against its mouth.
40:24	Can one take it with hooks or pierce its nose with a snare?
