Job 40

1Moreover Yahweh answered Job, 2He who argues with God, let him answer it.” “Shall he who argues contend with the Almighty? 3Then Job answered Yahweh, 4I lay my hand on my mouth. “Behold, I am of small account.

Surely the mountains produce food for him, 21in the covert of the reed, and the marsh. He lies under the lotus trees, 22The willows of the brook surround him. The lotuses cover him with their shade. 23He is confident, though the Jordan swells even to his mouth. Behold, if a river overflows, he doesn’t tremble. 24or pierce through his nose with a snare? Shall any take him when he is on the watch,
