Job

And the LORD answered Job out of the tempest, and said,

Will you also set aside My judgment? Will you condemn Me so that you may be justified?

And [have] you an arm like God? Or can you thunder with a voice like His?

Adorn yourself now with majesty and grandeur, and with glory and honor clothe yourself.

Pour forth the rage of your wrath; and behold everyone who is proud, and abase him.

Look on everyone [who is] proud, [and] bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place.

Hide them in the dust together; [and] bind their faces in darkness.

Then I also will confess to you that your own right [hand] can save you.

Now behold behemoth, which I made along with you; he eats grass like an ox;

see, now, his strength [is] in his loins, and his force [is] in the muscles of his belly.

He hangs his tail like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are knit together.

His bones [are] like tubes of bronze; his bones [are] like bars of iron.

He [is] the first of the ways of God; his Maker brings near his sword.

For the mountains yield food for him, and all the beasts of the field play there.

He lies under the lotus, in the hiding place of the reed and the marsh.

The lotus trees cover him [with] their shadow; the willows of the brook surround him.

Behold, though a flood presses, he does not run away; he feels safe even if Jordan swells up to his mouth.

Shall [any] take him before [his] eyes, or pierce through [his] nose with cords?

Can you draw out the leviathan with a hook, or hold down his tongue with a cord?

Can you put a reed rope into his nose, or pierce his jaw with a thorn?

Will he multiply pleas for help to you? Will he speak soft words to you?

Will he make a covenant with you? Will you take him for a servant for ever?

Will you play with him as with a bird? Or will you bind him for your maidens?

Shall [your] companions bargain over him? Shall they divide him among the merchants?

Can you fill his skin with barbed irons, or his head with fishing spears?

Lay your hand on him, think of the battle; you will never do it again.

Behold, his hope has been made false; will not one be cast down at the sight of him?
