Job 40

¹Againe the Lord answered Iob out of the whirle winde, and said,

²Girde vp now thy loynes like a man: I will demaunde of thee, and declare thou vnto me.

³Wilt thou disanul my iudgement? or wilt thou condemne me, that thou mayst be iustified?

⁴Or hast thou an arme like God? or doest thou thunder with a voyce like him?

⁵Decke thy selfe now with maiestie and excellencie, and aray thy selfe with beautie and glory.

⁶Cast abroad the indignation of thy wrath, and beholde euery one that is proude, and abase him.

⁷Looke on euery one that is arrogant, and bring him lowe: and destroy the wicked in their place.

⁸Hide them in the dust together, and binde their faces in a secret place.

⁹Then will I confesse vnto thee also, that thy right hand can saue thee.

¹⁰Behold now Behemoth (whom I made with thee) which eateth grasse as an oxe.

¹¹Behold now, his strength is in his loynes, and his force is in the nauil of his belly.

¹²When hee taketh pleasure, his taile is like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapt together.

¹³His bones are like staues of brasse, and his small bones like staues of yron.

¹⁴He is the chiefe of the wayes of God: he that made him, will make his sworde to approch vnto him.

¹⁵Surely the mountaines bring him foorth grasse, where all the beastes of the fielde play.
