## Text

[1] And the LORD said to Job: [2] “Will the faultfinder contend with the Almighty?
Let him who argues with God give an answer.” [3] Then Job answered the LORD: [4] “Behold, I am insignificant. How can I reply to You?
I place my hand over my mouth. [5] I have spoken once, but I have no answer—
twice, but I have nothing to add.” [6] Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind and said: [7] “Now brace yourself like a man;
I will question you, and you shall inform Me. [8] Would you really annul My justice?
Would you condemn Me to justify yourself? [9] Do you have an arm like God’s?
Can you thunder with a voice like His? [10] Then adorn yourself with majesty and splendor,
and clothe yourself with honor and glory. [11] Unleash the fury of your wrath;
look on every proud man and bring him low. [12] Look on every proud man and humble him;
trample the wicked where they stand. [13] Bury them together in the dust;
imprison them in the grave. [14] Then I will confess to you
that your own right hand can save you. [15] Look at Behemoth, which I made along with you.
He feeds on grass like an ox. [16] See the strength of his loins
and the power in the muscles of his belly. [17] His tail sways like a cedar;
the sinews of his thighs are tightly knit. [18] His bones are tubes of bronze;
his limbs are rods of iron. [19] He is the foremost of God’s works;
only his Maker can draw the sword against him. [20] The hills yield him their produce,
while all the beasts of the field play nearby. [21] He lies under the lotus plants,
hidden among the reeds of the marsh. [22] The lotus plants conceal him in their shade;
the willows of the brook surround him. [23] Though the river rages, Behemoth is unafraid;
he remains secure, though the Jordan surges to his mouth. [24] Can anyone capture him as he looks on,
or pierce his nose with a snare?
