14
Which leaveth her eggs in the earth, and warmeth them in dust,
15
And forgetteth that the foot
may crush them, or that the wild beast may break them.
16
She is hardened against her young ones,
as though
they were
not hers: her labour is in vain without fear;
17
Because God hath deprived her
of wisdom, neither hath he imparted to her understanding.
18
What time she lifteth up herself on
high, she scorneth the horse and his rider.
19
Hath thou given the horse strength? hast thou clothed
his neck with thunder?
20
Canst thou make him afraid as a grasshopper? the glory of his nostrils
is
terrible.
21
He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in
his
strength: he goeth on to meet the armed
men.
22
He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted; neither turneth he back from the sword.
23
The
quiver rattleth against him, the glittering spear and the shield.
24
He swalloweth the ground with
fierceness and rage: neither believeth he that
it is
the sound of the trumpet.
25
He saith among the
trumpets, Ha, ha; and he smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.
26
Doth the hawk fly by thy wisdom,
and
stretch her wings toward the south?
27
Doth the eagle
mount up at thy command, and make her nest on high?
28
She dwelleth and abideth on the rock,
upon the crag of the rock, and the strong place.
29
From thence she seeketh the prey,
and
her eyes
behold afar off.
30
Her young ones also suck up blood: and where the slain
are,
there
is
she.
CHAPTER 40
Moreover the L
ORD
answered Job, and said,
2
Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct
him?
he that reproveth God, let him answer it.
3
Then Job answered the L
ORD
, and said,
4
Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will
lay mine hand upon my mouth.
5
Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea, twice; but I will
proceed no further.
6
Then answered the L
ORD
unto Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
7
Gird up thy loins now like
a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.
8
Wilt thou also disannul my judgment?
wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous?
9
Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou
thunder with a voice like him?
10
Deck thyself now
with
majesty and excellency; and array thyself
with glory and beauty.
11
Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and behold every one
that is
proud,
and abase him.
12
Look on every one
that is
proud,
and
bring him low; and tread down the wicked
in their place.
13
Hide them in the dust together;
and
bind their faces in secret.
14
Then will I also
confess unto thee that thine own right hand can save thee.
15
Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.
16
Lo now, his
strength
is
in his loins, and his force
is
in the navel of his belly.
17
He moveth his tail like a cedar:
the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.
18
His bones
are as
strong pieces of brass; his bones
are
like bars of iron.
19
He
is
the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword
to approach
unto him.
20
Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the
field play.
21
He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.
22
The shady trees
