- 1. Moreouer ye Lord spake vnto Iob, & said,
- 2. Is this to learne to striue with the Almightie? he that reprooueth God, let him answere to it.
- 3. Then Iob answered the Lord, saying,
- 4. Beholde, I am vile: what shall I answere thee? I will lay mine hand vpon my mouth.
- 5. Once haue I spoken, but I will answere no more, yea twise, but I will proceede no further.
- 6. Againe the Lord answered Iob out of the whirle winde, and said,
- 7. Girde vp now thy loynes like a man: I will demaunde of thee, and declare thou vnto me.
- 8. Wilt thou disanul my iudgement? or wilt thou condemne me, that thou mayst be iustified?
- 9. Or hast thou an arme like God? or doest thou thunder with a voyce like him?
- 10. Decke thy selfe now with maiestie & excellencie, & aray thy selfe with beautie & glory.
- 11. Cast abroad the indignation of thy wrath, and beholde euery one that is proude, and abase him.
- 12. Looke on euery one that is arrogant, and bring him lowe: and destroy the wicked in their place.
- 13. Hide them in the dust together, and binde their faces in a secret place.
- 14. Then will I confesse vnto thee also, that thy right hand can saue thee.
- 15. Behold now Behemoth (whom I made with thee) which eateth grasse as an oxe.
- 16. Behold now, his strength is in his loynes, and his force is in the nauil of his belly.
- 17. When hee taketh pleasure, his taile is like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapt together.
- 18. His bones are like staues of brasse, and his small bones like staues of yron.
- 19. He is the chiefe of the wayes of God: he that made him, will make his sworde to approch vnto him.
- 20. Surely the mountaines bring him foorth grasse, where all the beastes of the fielde play.
- 21. Lyeth hee vnder the trees in the couert of the reede and fennes?
- 22. Can the trees couer him with their shadow? or can the willowes of the riuer compasse him about?
- 23. Behold, he spoyleth the riuer, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw vp Iorden into his mouth.
- 24. Hee taketh it with his eyes, and thrusteth his nose through whatsoeuer meeteth him.
