1<\/sup>And the Lord answering Job out of the whirlwind, said :<\/span> <\/p>\n 2<\/sup>Gird up thy loins like a man : I will ask thee, and do thou tell me.<\/span> <\/p>\n 3<\/sup>Wilt thou make void my judgment : and condemn me, that thou mayst be justified?<\/span> <\/p>\n 4<\/sup>And hast thou an arm like God, and canst thou thunder with a voice like him?<\/span> <\/p>\n 5<\/sup>Clothe thyself with beauty, and set thyself up on high and be glorious, and put on goodly garments.<\/span> <\/p>\n 6<\/sup>Scatter the proud in thy indignation, and behold every arrogant man, and humble him.<\/span> <\/p>\n 7<\/sup>Look on all that are proud, and confound them, and crush the wicked in their place.<\/span> <\/p>\n 8<\/sup>Hide them in the dust together, and plunge their faces into the pit.<\/span> <\/p>\n 9<\/sup>Then I will confess that thy right hand is able to save thee.<\/span> <\/p>\n 10<\/sup>Behold behemoth whom I made with thee, he eateth grass like an ox.<\/span> <\/p>\n 11<\/sup>His strength is in his loins, and his force in the navel of his belly.<\/span> <\/p>\n 12<\/sup>He setteth up his tail like a cedar, the sinews of his testicles are wrapped together.<\/span> <\/p>\n 13<\/sup>His bones are like pipes of brass, his gristle like plates of iron.<\/span> <\/p>\n 14<\/sup>He is the beginning of the ways of God, who made him, he will apply his sword.<\/span> <\/p>\n 15<\/sup>To him the mountains bring forth grass : there all the beasts of the field shall play.<\/span> <\/p>\n 16<\/sup>He sleepeth under the shadow, in the covert of the reed, and in moist places.<\/span> <\/p>\n 17<\/sup>The shades cover his shadow, the willows of the brook shall compass him about.<\/span> <\/p>\n 18<\/sup>Behold, he will drink up a river, and not wonder : and he trusteth that the Jordan may run into his mouth.<\/span> <\/p>\n 19<\/sup>In his eyes as with a hook he shall take him, and bore through his nostrils with stakes.<\/span> <\/p>\n 20<\/sup>Canst thou draw out the leviathan with a hook, or canst thou tie his tongue with a cord?<\/span> <\/p>\n 21<\/sup>Canst thou put a ring in his nose, or bore through his jaw with a buckle?<\/span> <\/p>\n 22<\/sup>Will he make many supplications to thee, or speak soft words to thee?<\/span> <\/p>\n 23<\/sup>Will he make a covenant with thee, and wilt thou take him to be a servant for ever?<\/span> <\/p>\n 24<\/sup>Shalt thou play with him as with a bird, or tie him up for thy handmaids?<\/span> <\/p>\n 25<\/sup>Shall friends cut him in pieces, shall merchants divide him?<\/span> <\/p>\n 26<\/sup>Wilt thou fill nets with his skin, and the cabins of fishes with his head?<\/span> <\/p>\n 27<\/sup>Lay thy hand upon him : remember the battle, and speak no more.<\/span> <\/p>\n 28<\/sup>Behold his hope shall fail him, and in the sight of all he shall be cast down.<\/span> <\/p>\n
