1 - And the Lord answering Job out of the whirlwind, said:

2 - Gird up thy loins like a man: I will ask thee, and do thou tell me.

3 - Wilt thou make void my judgment: and condemn me, that thou mayst be justified?

4 - And hast thou an arm like God, and canst thou thunder with a voice like him?

5 - Clothe thyself with beauty, and set thyself up on high, and be glorious, and put on goodly garments.

6 - Scatter the proud in thy indignation, and behold every arrogant man, and humble him.

7 - Look on all that are proud, and confound them, and crush the wicked in their place,

8 - Hide them in the dust together, and plunge their faces into the pit.

9 - Then I will confess that thy right hand is able to save thee.

10 - Behold behemoth whom I made with thee, he eateth grass like an ox.

11 - His strength is in his loins, and his force in the navel of his belly.

12 - He setteth up his tail like a cedar, the sinews of his testicles are wrapped together.

13 - His bones are like pipes of brass, his gristle like plates of iron.

14 - He is the beginning of the ways of God, who made him, he will apply his sword.

15 - To him the mountains bring forth grass: there all the beasts of the field shall play.

16 - He sleepeth under the shadow, in the covert of the reed, and in moist places.

17 - The shades cover his shadow, the willows of the brook shall compass him about.

18 - Behold, he will drink up a river, and not wonder: and he trusteth that the Jordan may run into his mouth.

19 - In his eyes as with a hook he shall take him, and bore through his nostrils with stakes.

20 - Canst thou draw out the leviathan with a hook, or canst thou tie his tongue with a cord?

21 - Canst thou put a ring in his nose, or bore through his jaw with a buckle?

22 - Will he make many supplications to thee, or speak soft words to thee?

23 - Will he make a covenant with thee, and wilt thou take him to be a servant for ever?

24 - Shalt thou play with him as with a bird, or tie him up for thy handmaids?

25 - Shall friends cut him in pieces, shall merchants divide him?

26 - Wilt thou fill nets with his skin, and the cabins of fishes with his head?

27 - Lay thy hand upon him: remember the battle, and speak no more.

28 - Behold his hope shall fail him, and in the sight of all he shall be cast down.
