1Moreover, GOD spake unto Job and said:
2Can he that striveth with the almighty, be at rest? Should not he which disputeth with God, give him an answer?
3Job answered the LORD, saying:
4Behold, I am too vile a person, to answer thee, therefore will I lay my hand upon my mouth.
5Once or twice have I spoken, but I will say no more.
6Then spake the LORD unto Job out of the storm, and said:
7Gird up thy loins like a man, and tell me the things that I will ask thee.
8Wilt thou disannul my judgment? Or wilt thou condemn me, that thou thyself mayest be made righteous?
9Is thine arm then like the arm of God? Maketh thy voice such a sound as his doth?
10Then arm thyself with thine own power, up, deck thee in thy jolly array,
11pour out thy indignation of thy wrath: see that thou cast down all the proud,
12look well, that thou makest all such as be stubburn, to obey: tread all the ungodly under thy feet,
13cast them down into the mire, and cover their faces with darkness:
14Then will I confess also, that thy own right hand hath saved thee.
15Behold Behemoth(the cruell beaste) (whom I made with thee) which eateth hay as an ox:
16lo, how strong he is in his loins, and what power he hath in the navel of his body.
17He spreadeth out his tail like a Cedar tree, all his veins are stiff.
18His shins are like pipes of brass, his rig bones are like staves of iron.
19First when God made him, he ordained(ordened) the wilderness for him,
20that the mountains should give him grass, where all the beasts of the field take their pastime.
21He lieth among the reeds in the Mosses,
22the fens hide him with their shadow, and the willows of the brook cover him round about.
23Lo, without any labour might he drink out of the whole flood, and sup of Jordan without any trail.(travail)
24Who dare lay a hand on him openly, and undertake to catch him? Or, who dare put a hook thorow his nose, and lay a snare for him?
