Job 40

DouayRheims(i) 1 (39:31) And the Lord went on, and said to Job: 2 (39:32) Shall he that contendeth with God be so easily silenced? Surely he that reproveth God, ought to answer him. 3 (39:33) Then Job answered the Lord, and said: 4 (39:34) What can I answer, who hath spoken inconsiderately? I will lay my hand upon my mouth. 5 (39:35) One thing I have spoken, which I wish I had not said: and another, to which I will add no more. 6 (40:1) And the Lord answering Job out of the whirlwind, said: 7 (40:2) Gird up thy loins like a man: I will ask thee, and do thou tell me. 8 (40:3) Wilt thou make void my judgment: and condemn me, that thou mayst be justified? 9 (40:4) And hast thou an arm like God, and canst thou thunder with a voice like him? 10 (40:5) Clothe thyself with beauty, and set thyself up on high, and be glorious, and put on goodly garments. 11 (40:6) Scatter the proud in thy indignation, and behold every arrogant man, and humble him. 12 (40:7) Look on all that are proud, and confound them, and crush the wicked in their place, 13 (40:8) Hide them in the dust together, and plunge their faces into the pit. 14 (40:9) Then I will confess that thy right hand is able to save thee. 15 (40:10) Behold behemoth whom I made with thee, he eateth grass like an ox. 16 (40:11) His strength is in his loins, and his force in the navel of his belly. 17 (40:12) He setteth up his tail like a cedar, the sinews of his testicles are wrapped together. 18 (40:13) His bones are like pipes of brass, his gristle like plates of iron. 19 (40:14) He is the beginning of the ways of God, who made him, he will apply his sword. 20 (40:15) To him the mountains bring forth grass: there all the beasts of the field shall play. 21 (40:16) He sleepeth under the shadow, in the covert of the reed, and in moist places. 22 (40:17) The shades cover his shadow, the willows of the brook shall compass him about. 23 (40:18) Behold, he will drink up a river, and not wonder: and he trusteth that the Jordan may run into his mouth. 24 (40:19) In his eyes as with a hook he shall take him, and bore through his nostrils with stakes.
