1The LORD said to Job:

1The LORD answered Job:

2"Will the one who contends with the Almighty correct him? Let him who accuses God answer him!"

2Will the one who contends with the Almighty correct him? Let him who argues with God give an answer.

3Then Job answered the LORD:

4"I am unworthy--how can I reply to you? I put my hand over my mouth.

4I am so insignificant. How can I answer you? I place my hand over my mouth.

5I spoke once, but I have no answer-- twice, but I will say no more."

5I have spoken once, and I will not reply; twice, but now I can add nothing.

6Then the LORD spoke to Job out of the storm:

6Then the LORD answered Job from the whirlwind:

7"Brace yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall answer me.

7Get ready to answer me like a man; When I question you, you will inform me.

8"Would you discredit my justice? Would you condemn me to justify yourself?

8Would you really challenge my justice? Would you declare me guilty to justify yourself?

9Do you have an arm like God's, and can your voice thunder like his?

9Do you have an arm like God's? Can you thunder with a voice like his?

10Then adorn yourself with glory and splendor, and clothe yourself in honor and majesty.

10Adorn yourself with majesty and splendor, and clothe yourself with honor and glory.

11Unleash the fury of your wrath, look at all who are proud and bring them low,

11Pour out your raging anger; look on every proud person and humiliate him.

12look at all who are proud and humble them, crush the wicked where they stand.

12Look on every proud person and humble him; trample the wicked where they stand.

13Bury them all in the dust together; shroud their faces in the grave.

13Hide them together in the dust; imprison them in the grave.

14Then I myself will admit to you that your own right hand can save you.

14Then I will confess to you that your own right hand can deliver you.

15"Look at Behemoth, which I made along with you and which feeds on grass like an ox.

15Look at Behemoth, which I made along with you. He eats grass like cattle.

16What strength it has in its loins, what power in the muscles of its belly!

16Look at the strength of his back and the power in the muscles of his belly.

17Its tail sways like a cedar; the sinews of its thighs are close-knit.

17He stiffens his tail like a cedar tree; the tendons of his thighs are woven firmly together.

18Its bones are tubes of bronze, its limbs like rods of iron.

18His bones are bronze tubes; his limbs are like iron rods.

19It ranks first among the works of God, yet its Maker can approach it with his sword.

19He is the foremost of God's works; only his Maker can draw the sword against him.

20The hills bring it their produce, and all the wild animals play nearby.

20The hills yield food for him, while all sorts of wild animals play there.

21Under the lotus plants it lies, hidden among the reeds in the marsh.

21He lies under the lotus plants, hiding in the protection of marshy reeds.

22The lotuses conceal it in their shadow; the poplars by the stream surround it.

22Lotus plants cover him with their shade; the willows by the brook surround him.

23A raging river does not alarm it; it is secure, though the Jordan should surge against its mouth.

23Though the river rages, Behemoth is unafraid; he remains confident, even if the Jordan surges up to his mouth.

24Can anyone capture it by the eyes, or trap it and pierce its nose?

24Can anyone capture him while he looks on, or pierce his nose with snares?
