New Testament

Job 40:4-17 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

4. And do you have an arm like God, or a voice like thunder?

5. Envelop yourself with splendor, and raise yourself up on high, and be glorious, and put on splendid garments.

6. Scatter the arrogant with your wrath, and, when you see all the arrogant, humble them.

7. Look down upon each of the arrogant and confound them, and crush the impious in their place.

8. Hide them in the dust together and plunge their faces into the pit.

9. Then I will confess that your right hand is able to save you.

10. Behold, the behemoth, whom I created along with you, eats hay like an ox.

11. His strength is in his lower back, and his power is in the center of his abdomen.

12. He draws up his tail like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs have been drawn together.

13. His bones are like pipes of brass; his cartilage is like plates of iron.

14. He is the beginning of the ways of God, who made him; he will use him as his sword.

15. The mountains bring forth grass for him; all the beasts of the field will play there.

16. He sleeps in the shadows, under the cover of branches, and in moist places.

17. The shadows cover his shadow; the willows of the brook will encircle him.
