Oreover, the Lord anfwered Job, and 2 Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty, inftruct him? he that reproveth God, let him anfwer it. 3 Then Job anfwered the Lord, and faid, 4 Behold, I am vile: what fhall I anfwer thee? I will lay mine hand upon my mouth. 5 Onse 5 Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea, twice; but I will proceed no further. 6 Then anfwered the Lord unto Job out of the whirlwind, and said, 7 Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me. 16 Lo now, his ftrength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly. 17 He moveth his tail like. a cedar: the finews of his ftones are wrapped together. 18 His bones are as strong pieces of brass: his bones are like bars of iron. 19 He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made 8 Wilt thou alfo difannul my judgment? wilt thou con-him can make his fword to demn me, that thou mayeft approach unto him. be righteous? 9 Haft thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice like him? 10 Deck thyself now with majefty and excellency, and array thyfelf with glory and beauty. II Caft abroad the rage of thy wrath and behold every one that is proud, and abafe him. 12 Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low and tread down the wicked in their place. 13 Hide them in the duft together, and bind their faces in fecret. 14 Then will I also confefs unto thee, that thine own right hand can fave thee. 20 Surely the mountains bring him forth food: where all the beasts of the field play. 21 He lieth under the fhady trees, in the covert of the reeds, and fens. 22 The fhady trees cover him with their fhadow: the willows of the brook compass him about. 23 Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hafteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth. 24 He taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth through fnares. 15 Behold now, behe-or his tongue with a cord moth, which I made with which thou lettest down? thee: he eateth grafs as an 2 Canft thou put an hook into his nofe? or bore his jaw through with a thorn? Will he make many 3 fupplications unto thee? will he fpeak foft words unto thee? 4 Will he make a covenant with thee? wilt thou take him for a fervant for ever? 5 Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens? 6 Shall thy companions make a banquet of him? fhall they part him among the merchants? 7 Canft thou fill his fkin with barbed irons? or his head with fish-fpears? 8 Lay thine hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more. 9 Behold, the hope of him is in vain: fhall not one.be caft down even at the fight of him? 10 None is fo fierce that dare ftir him up: who then is able to ftand before me?
