Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me (40:7) Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous? (40:8) Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice like him? (40:9) Deck thyself now [with] majesty and excellency; and array thyself with glory and beauty (40:10) Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and behold every one [that is] proud, and abase him (40:11) Look on every one [that is] proud, [and] bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place (40:12) Hide them in the dust together; [and] bind their faces in secret (40:13) Then will I also confess unto thee that thine own right hand can save thee (40:14) Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox (40:15) Lo now, his strength [is] in his loins, and his force [is] in the navel of his belly (40:16) He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together (40:17) His bones [are as] strong pieces of brass; his bones [are] like bars of iron (40:18) He [is] the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach [unto him] (40:19) Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play (40:20) He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens (40:21) The shady trees cover him [with] their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about (40:22) Behold, he drinketh up a river, [and] hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth (40:23) He taketh it with his eyes: [his] nose pierceth through snares
(40:24)
