[ 39:31] And the Lord God answered Job and said, [ 39:32] Will [anyone] pervert judgment with the Mighty One? And he that reproves God, let him answer it. [ 39:33] And Job answered and said to the Lord, [ 39:34] Why do I yet plead? Being rebuked even while reproving the Lord: hearing such things, whereas I am nothing: and what shall I answer to these [arguments]? I will lay my hand upon my mouth. [ 39:35] I have spoken once, but I will not do so a second time. [ 40:1] And the Lord yet again answered and spoke to Job out of the cloud, [saying], [ 40:2] Nay, gird up now your loins like a man; and I will ask you, and you shall answer Me. [ 40:3] Do not set aside My judgment: and do you think that I have dealt with you in any other way, than that you might appear to be righteous? [ 40:4] Have you an arm like the Lord's? Or can you thunder with a voice like His? [ 40:5] Assume now a lofty bearing and power; and clothe yourself with glory and honor. [ 40:6] And send forth messengers with wrath, and lay low every haughty one. [ 40:7] Bring down also the proud man, and consume at once the ungodly. [ 40:8] And hide them together in the earth, and fill their faces with shame. [ 40:9] [Then] will I confess that your right hand can save [you]. [ 40:10] But now look at the wild beasts among you; they eat grass like oxen. [ 40:11] Behold now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly. [ 40:12] He sets up his tail like a cypress, and his nerves are wrapped together. [ 40:13] His sides are sides of brass, and his backbone is as cast iron. [ 40:14] This is the chief of the creation of the Lord; made to be played with by His angels. [ 40:15] And when he has gone up to a steep mountain, he causes joy to the quadrupeds in the deep. [ 40:16] He lies under trees of every kind, by the papyrus, [the] reed, and [the] bulrush. [ 40:17] And the great trees make a shadow over him with their branches, and so do the bushes of the field. [ 40:18] If there should be a flood, he will not perceive it; he trusts that the Jordan will rush up into his mouth. [ 40:19] [Yet one] shall take him in his sight; one shall catch him with a cord, and pierce his nose.
