CHAP. XL. 1 Job humbleth himself to God. 6 God inciteth him to show his righteousness, power, and wisdom. 15 Of the behemoth.


1   Moreover, the Lord answered Job, and said,


2   Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproveth God, let him answer it.


3   ¶2; Then Job answered the Lord, and said,


4   Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay my hand upon my mouth.


5   Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yes, twice; but I will proceed no further.


6   ¶2; Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,


7    noteGird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou to me.


8    noteWilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous?


9   Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice like his?


10    noteDeck thyself now with majesty and excellence; and array thyself with glory and beauty.


11   Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and behold every one that is proud, and abase him.


12   Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place.


13   Hide them in the dust together; bind their faces in secret.


14   Then will I also confess to thee that thy own right hand can save thee.


15   ¶2; Behold now note behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.


16   Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.


17    noteHe moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his male organs are wrapped together.


18   His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.


19   He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach him.


20   Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.

-- --

Before CHRIST, 1520.


21   He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.


22   The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook encompass him.


23   Behold, note he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.


24    noteHe taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth through snares.
