1 Moreover Yahweh answered Job,
2 โShall he who argues contend with the Almighty? He who argues with God, let him answer it.โ
3 Then Job answered Yahweh,
4 โBehold, I am of small account. What shall I answer you? I lay my hand on my mouth.
5 I have spoken once, and I will not answer; Yes, twice, but I will proceed no further.โ
6 Then Yahweh answered Job out of the whirlwind,
7 โNow brace yourself like a man. I will question you, and you will answer me.
8 Will you even annul my judgment? Will you condemn me, that you may be justified?
9 Or do you have an arm like God? Can you thunder with a voice like him?
10 โNow deck yourself with excellency and dignity. Array yourself with honor and majesty.
11 Pour out the fury of your anger. Look at everyone who is proud, and bring him low.
12 Look at everyone who is proud, and humble him. Crush the wicked in their place.
13 Hide them in the dust together. Bind their faces in the hidden place.
14 Then I will also admit to you that your own right hand can save you.
15 โSee now, behemoth, which I made as well as you. He eats grass as an ox.
16 Look now, his strength is in his thighs. His force is in the muscles of his belly.
17 He moves his tail like a cedar. The sinews of his thighs are knit together.
18 His bones are like tubes of brass. His limbs are like bars of iron.
19 He is the chief of the ways of God. He who made him gives him his sword.
20 Surely the mountains produce food for him, where all the animals of the field play.
21 He lies under the lotus trees, in the covert of the reed, and the marsh.
22 The lotuses cover him with their shade. The willows of the brook surround him.
23 Behold, if a river overflows, he doesnโt tremble. He is confident, though the Jordan swells even to his mouth.
24 Shall any take him when he is on the watch, or pierce through his nose with a snare?

What the Early Church wrote about Job 40 (2)
-
“God gave him the firstlings and the pledge of his fights by speaking to him out of the clouds and the whirlwind. After he had listened to the former speeches, when it was necessary to speak to God, he was silent, as if he had no faculty to speak to him.”
-
“Therefore I say to you, โClothe yourself with glory. Abase the slanderer completely. Humiliate his angels. He was arrogant against you, but you destroy the arrogant. He was impious against you, but you strike him by lightning.โ”
