Job - Chapter 40

minutes - words.

1Then the Lord made answer to Job out of the storm-wind, and said, 2Get your strength together like a man of war: I will put questions to you, and you will give me the answers. 3Will you even make my right of no value? will you say that I am wrong in order to make clear that you are right? 4Have you an arm like God? have you a voice of thunder like his? 5Put on the ornaments of your pride; be clothed with glory and power: 6Let your wrath be overflowing; let your eyes see all the sons of pride, and make them low. 7Send destruction on all who are lifted up, pulling down the sinners from their places. 8Let them be covered together in the dust; let their faces be dark in the secret place of the underworld. 9Then I will give praise to you, saying that your right hand is able to give you salvation. 10See now the Great Beast, whom I made, even as I made you; he takes grass for food, like the ox. 11His strength is in his body, and his force in the muscles of his stomach. 12His tail is curving like a cedar; the muscles of his legs are joined together. 13His bones are pipes of brass, his legs are like rods of iron. 14He is the chief of the ways of God, made by him for his pleasure. 15He takes the produce of the mountains, where all the beasts of the field are at play. 16He takes his rest under the trees of the river, and in the pool, under the shade of the water-plants. 17He is covered by the branches of the trees; the grasses of the stream are round him. 18Truly, if the river is overflowing, it gives him no cause for fear; he has no sense of danger, even if Jordan is rushing against his mouth. 19Will anyone take him when he is on the watch, or put metal teeth through his nose? 20Is it possible for Leviathan to be pulled out with a fish-hook, or for a hook to be put through the bone of his mouth? 21Will you put a cord into his nose, or take him away with a cord round his tongue? 22Will he make prayers to you, or say soft words to you? 23Will he make an agreement with you, so that you may take him as a servant for ever? 24Will you make sport with him, as with a bird? or put him in chains for your young women? 25Will the fishermen make profit out of him? will they have him cut up for the traders? 26Will you put sharp-pointed irons into his skin, or fish-spears into his head? 27Only put your hand on him, and see what a fight you will have; you will not do it again! 28Truly, the hope of his attacker is false; he is overcome even on seeing him!
