40:1 Moreover the LORD 3068 answered 6030 8799 Job 347, and said 559 8799,

40:2 Shall he that contendeth 7378 8800 with the Almighty 7706 instruct 3250 [him]? he that reproveth 3198 8688 God 433, let him answer 6030 8799 it.

40:3 Then Job 347 answered 6030 8799 the LORD 3068, and said 559 8799,

40:4 Behold, I am vile 7043 8804; what shall I answer 7725 8686 thee? I will lay 7760 8804 mine hand 3027 upon 3926 my mouth 6310.

40:5 Once 259 have I spoken 1696 8765; but I will not answer 6030 8799: yea, twice 8147; but I will proceed no further 3254 8686.

40:6 Then answered 6030 8799 the LORD 3068 unto Job 347 out of the whirlwind 5591, and said 559 8799,

40:7 Gird up 247 8798 thy loins 2504 now like a man 1397: I will demand 7592 8799 of thee, and declare 3045 8685 thou unto me.

40:8 Wilt thou also disannul 6565 8686 my judgment 4941? wilt thou condemn 7561 8686 me, that thou mayest be righteous 6663 8799?

40:9 Hast thou an arm 2220 like God 410? or canst thou thunder 7481 8686 with a voice 6963 like him?

40:10 Deck 5710 8798 thyself now [with] majesty 1347 and excellency 1363; and array 3847 8799 thyself with glory 1935 and beauty 1926.

40:11 Cast abroad 6327 8685 the rage 5678 of thy wrath 639: and behold 7200 8798 every one [that is] proud 1343, and abase 8213 8685 him.

40:12 Look 7200 8798 on every one [that is] proud 1343, [and] bring him low 3665 8685; and tread down 1915 8798 the wicked 7563 in their place.

40:13 Hide 2934 8798 them in the dust 6083 together 3162; [and] bind 2280 8798 their faces 6440 in secret 2934 8803.

40:14 Then will I also confess 3034 8686 unto thee that thine own right hand 3225 can save 3467 8686 thee.

40:15 Behold now behemoth 930, which I made 6213 8804 with thee; he eateth 398 8799 grass 2682 as an ox 1241.(behemoth: or the Elephant as some think)

40:16 Lo now, his strength 3581 [is] in his loins 4975, and his force 202 [is] in the navel 8306 of his belly 990.

40:17 He moveth 2654 8799 his tail 2180 like a cedar 730: the sinews 1517 of his stones 6344 are wrapped together 8276 8792.(He…: or, He setteth up)

40:18 His bones 6106 [are as] strong 650 pieces of brass 5154; his bones 1634 [are] like bars 4300 of iron 1270.

40:19 He [is] the chief 7225 of the ways 1870 of God 410: he that made 6213 8802 him can make 5066 0 his sword 2719 to approach 5066 8686 [unto him].

40:20 Surely the mountains 2022 bring him forth 5375 8799 food 944, where all the beasts 2416 of the field 7704 play 7832 8762.

40:21 He lieth 7901 8799 under the shady trees 6628, in the covert 5643 of the reed 7070, and fens 1207.

40:22 The shady trees 6628 cover 5526 8799 him [with] their shadow 6752; the willows 6155 of the brook 5158 compass him about 5437 8799.

40:23 Behold, he drinketh up 6231 8799 a river 5104, [and] hasteth 2648 8799 not: he trusteth 982 8799 that he can draw up 1518 8799 Jordan 3383 into his mouth 6310.(he drinketh up: Heb. he oppresseth)

40:24 He taketh 3947 8799 it with his eyes 5869: [his] nose 639 pierceth through 5344 8799 snares 4170.(He…: or, Will any take him in his sight, or, bore his nose with a gin?)
