Context
The Lord’s Second Speech
40:6 Then the Lord answered Job from the whirlwind :
40:7 “Get ready for a difficult task like a man . I will question you and you will inform me!
40:8 Would you indeed annul my justice ? Would you declare me guilty so that you might be right ?
40:9 Do you have an arm as powerful as God’s , and can you thunder with a voice like his?
40:10 Adorn yourself, then , with majesty and excellency , and clothe yourself with glory and honor !
40:11 Scatter abroad the abundance of your anger . Look at every proud man and bring him low ;
40:12 Look at every proud man and abase him; crush the wicked on the spot !
40:13 Hide them in the dust together , imprison them in the grave .
40:14 Then I myself will acknowledge to you that your own right hand can save you.
The Description of Behemoth
40:15 “Look now at Behemoth , which I made as I made you; it eats grass like the ox .
40:16 Look at its strength in its loins , and its power in the muscles of its belly .
40:17 It makes its tail stiff like a cedar , the sinews of its thighs are tightly wound .
40:18 Its bones are tubes of bronze , its limbs like bars of iron .
40:19 It ranks first among the works of God , the One who made it has furnished it with a sword .
40:20 For the hills bring it food , where all the wild animals play .
40:21 Under the lotus trees it lies , in the secrecy of the reeds and the marsh .
40:22 The lotus trees conceal it in their shadow ; the poplars by the stream conceal it.
40:23 If the river rages , it is not disturbed , it is secure , though the Jordan should surge up to its mouth .
40:24 Can anyone catch it by its eyes , or pierce its nose with a snare ?
