CHAP. XL.
1 Iob humbleth himselfe to God. 6 God stirreth
him vp to shew his righteousnes, power,
and wisedome. 15 Of the Behemoth.
1
Moreouer the Lord answered
Iob, and said,
2
Shall hee that contendeth
with the Almightie,
instruct him? he that reproueth
God, let him answere it.
3
¶ Then Iob answered the
Lord, and said,
4
Behold, I am vile, what shall I
answere thee? I wil lay my hand vpon
my mouth.
5
Once haue I spoken, but I will
not answere: yea twise, but I will proceed
no further.
6
¶ Then answered the Lord
vnto Iob out of the whirlewinde, and
said:
7
noteGird vp thy loynes now like a
man: I will demaund of thee, and declare
thou vnto me.
8
noteWilt thou also disanul my iudgement?
Wilt thou condemne mee, that
thou mayest be righteous?
9
Hast thou an arme like God? or
canst thou thunder with a voyce like
him?
10
noteDecke thy selfe now with Maiestie,
and excellencie, and aray thy selfe
with glory, and beautie.
11
Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath:
and behold euery one that is proud, and
abase him.
12
Looke on euery one that is proud,
and bring him low: and tread downe
the wicked in their place.
-- --
Behemoth, and Leuiathan
13
Hide them in the dust together,
and binde their faces in secret.
14
Then will I also confesse vnto
thee, that thine owne right hand can
saue thee.
15
¶ Beholde now note Behemoth
which I made with thee, hee eateth
grasse as an oxe.
16
Loe now, his strength is in his
loynes, and his force is in the nauell of
his belly.
17
noteHee moueth his taile like a Cedar:
the sinewes of his stones are wrapt
together.
18
His bones are as strong pieces of
brasse: his bones are like barres of iron.
19
Hee is the chiefe of the wayes of
God: he that made him, can make his
sword to approach vnto him.
20
Surely the mountaines bring
him foorth foode: where all the beasts
of the field play.
21
He lieth vnder the shady trees in
the couert of the reede, and fennes.
22
The shady trees couer him with
their shaddow: the willowes of the
brooke compasse him about.
23
Behold, note he drinketh vp a riuer,
and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can
draw vp Iordan into his mouth.
24
noteHe taketh it with his eyes: his
nose pearceth through snares.
