And the Lord yet again answered and spoke to Job out of the cloud, saying,

Nay, gird up now thy loins like a man; and I will ask thee, and do thou answer me.

Do not set aside my judgment: and dost thou think that I have dealt with thee in any other way, than that thou mightest appear to be righteous?

Hast thou an arm like the Lord's? or dost thou thunder with a voice like his?

Assume now a lofty bearing and power; and clothe thyself with glory and honour.

Bring down also the proud man; and consume at once the ungodly.

And hide them together in the earth; and fill their faces with shame.

But now look at the wild beasts with thee; they eat grass like oxen.

He sets up his tail like a cypress; and his nerves are wrapped together.

His sides are sides of brass; and his backbone is as cast iron.

This is the chief of the creation of the Lord; made to be played with by his angels.

And when he has gone up to a steep mountain, he causes joy to the quadrupeds in the deep.

And the great trees make a shadow over him with their branches, and so do the bushes of the field.

If there should be a flood, he will not perceive it; he trust that Jordan will rush up into his mouth.

And all the ships come together would not be able to bear the mere skin of his tail; neither shall they carry his head in fishing-vessels.
