18:040:008 Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt
thou condemn me,
that
thou mayest be righteous?
18:040:009 Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou
thunder with a voice
like
him?
18:040:010 Deck thyself now with majesty and excellency;
and array
thyself
with glory and beauty.
18:040:011 Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath:
and behold every one that
is
proud, and abase him.
18:040:012 Look on every one that is proud, and bring
him low; and tread
down
the wicked in their place.
18:040:013 Hide them in the dust together; and bind
their faces in
secret.
18:040:014 Then will I also confess unto thee that
thine own right hand
can
save thee.
18:040:015 Behold now behemoth, which I made with
thee; he eateth grass
as
an ox.
18:040:016 Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and
his force is in the
navel
of his belly.
18:040:017 He moveth his tail like a cedar: the
sinews of his stones are
wrapped
together.
18:040:018 His bones are as strong pieces of brass;
his bones are like
bars
of iron.
18:040:019 He is the chief of the ways of God:
he that made him can make
his
sword to approach unto him.
18:040:020 Surely the mountains bring him forth food,
where all the
beasts
of the field play.
18:040:021 He lieth under the shady trees, in the
covert of the reed, and
fens.
18:040:022 The shady trees cover him with their shadow;
the willows of
the
brook compass him about.
18:040:023 Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth
not: he trusteth
that
he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.
18:040:024 He taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth through snares.
18:041:001 Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook?
or his tongue with
a
cord which thou lettest down?
18:041:002 Canst thou put an hook into his nose? or
bore his jaw through
with
a thorn?
18:041:003 Will he make many supplications unto thee?
will he speak soft
words
unto thee?
18:041:004 Will he make a covenant with thee? wilt
thou take him for a
servant
for ever?
18:041:005 Wilt thou play with him as with a bird?
or wilt thou bind him
for
thy maidens?
18:041:006 Shall the companions make a banquet of
him? shall they part
him
among the merchants?
18:041:007 Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons?
or his head with
fish
spears?
18:041:008 Lay thine hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more.
18:041:009 Behold, the hope of him is in vain:
shall not one be cast down
even
at the sight of him?
