## Job Places His Hand over His Mouth 

###### 1
Then Yahweh answered Job and said, 

###### 2
"Will the faultfinder contend with the Almighty? Let him who reproves God answer it." 

###### 3
Then Job answered Yahweh and said, 

###### 4
"Behold, I am insignificant; what can I respond to You? I place my hand over my mouth. 

###### 5
Once I have spoken, and I will not answer; Even twice, and I will add nothing more." 

## Yahweh Will Ask Job 

###### 6
Then Yahweh answered Job out of the whirlwind and said, 

###### 7
"Now gird up your loins like a man; I will ask you, and you make Me know. 

###### 8
Will you really annul My judgment? Will you condemn Me that you may be justified? 

###### 9
Or do you have an arm like God, And can you thunder with a voice like His? 

###### 10
"Adorn yourself with exaltation and loftiness, And clothe yourself with splendor and majesty. 

###### 11
Pour out the overflowings of your anger, And look on everyone who is proud, and make him low. 

###### 12
Look on everyone who is proud, _and_ humble him, And tread down the wicked in their place. 

###### 13
Hide them in the dust together; Bind their faces in the hidden _place_. 

###### 14
Then I will also praise you, That your own right hand can save you. 

## Behold the Behemoth 

###### 15
"Behold now, Behemoth, which I made along with you; It eats grass like an ox. 

###### 16
Behold now, its power in its loins And its vigor in the muscles of its belly. 

###### 17
It hangs its tail like a cedar; The sinews of its thighs are knit together. 

###### 18
Its bones are tubes of bronze; Its limbs are like bars of iron. 

###### 19
"It is the first of the ways of God; Let its Maker bring near its sword. 

###### 20
Surely the mountains bring it food, And all the beasts of the field play there. 

###### 21
Under the lotus plants it lies down, In the hidden place of the reeds and the marsh. 

###### 22
The lotus plants cover it with shade; The willows of the brook surround it. 

###### 23
If a river oppresses, it is not alarmed; It is secure, though the Jordan bursts forth to its mouth. 

###### 24
Can anyone capture it before its eyes, With snares can anyone pierce _its_ nose?
