40:1	Forsothe the Lord answeride to Joob fro the whirlewynd,
40:2	and seide, Girde thou as a man thi leendis, and Y schal axe thee, and schewe thou to me.
40:3	Whether thou schalt make voide my doom, and schalt condempne me, that thou be maad iust?
40:4	And if thou hast an arm, as God hath, and if thou thundrist with lijk vois, `take thou fairnesse aboute thee,
40:5	and be thou reisid an hiy, and be thou gloriouse, and be thou clothid `in faire clothis.
40:6	Distrie thou proude men in thi woodnesse, and biholde thou, and make lowe ech bostere.
40:7	Biholde thou alle proude men, and schende thou hem; and al to-breke thou wickid men in her place.
40:8	Hide thou hem in dust togidere, and drenche doun her faces in to a diche.
40:9	And Y schal knowleche, that thi riyt hond may saue thee.
40:10	Lo! behemot, whom Y made with thee, schal as an oxe ete hey.
40:11	His strengthe is in hise leendis, and his vertu is in the nawle of his wombe.
40:12	He streyneth his tail as a cedre; the senewis of his `stones of gendrure ben foldid togidere.
40:13	Hise boonys ben as the pipis of bras; the gristil of hym is as platis of yrun.
40:14	He is the bigynnyng of the weies of God; he, that made hym, schal sette his swerd to hym.
40:15	Hillis beren eerbis to this behemot; alle the beestis of the feeld pleien there.
40:16	He slepith vndur schadewe, in the pryuete of rehed, in moiste places.
40:17	Schadewis hilen his schadewe; the salewis of the ryuer cumpassen hym.
40:18	He schal soupe vp the flood, and he schal not wondre; he hath trist, that Jordan schal flowe in to his mouth.
40:19	He schal take hem bi `the iyen of hym, as bi an hook; and bi scharpe schaftis he schal perse hise nosethirlis.
40:20	Whether thou schalt mowe drawe out leuyathan with an hook, and schalt bynde with a roop his tunge?
40:21	Whethir thou schalt putte a ryng in hise nosethirlis, ethir schalt perse hyse cheke with `an hook?
40:22	Whether he schal multiplie preieris to thee, ether schal speke softe thingis to thee?
40:23	Whether he schal make couenaunt with thee, and `thou schalt take him a seruaunt euerlastinge?
40:24	Whether thou schalt scorne hym as a brid, ethir schalt bynde hym to thin handmaidis?


40:1	Againe the Lord answered Iob out of the whirle winde, and said,
40:2	Girde vp now thy loynes like a man: I will demaunde of thee, and declare thou vnto me.
40:3	Wilt thou disanul my iudgement? or wilt thou condemne me, that thou mayst be iustified?
40:4	Or hast thou an arme like God? or doest thou thunder with a voyce like him?
40:5	Decke thy selfe now with maiestie and excellencie, and aray thy selfe with beautie and glory.
40:6	Cast abroad the indignation of thy wrath, and beholde euery one that is proude, and abase him.
40:7	Looke on euery one that is arrogant, and bring him lowe: and destroy the wicked in their place.
40:8	Hide them in the dust together, and binde their faces in a secret place.
40:9	Then will I confesse vnto thee also, that thy right hand can saue thee.
40:10	Behold now Behemoth (whom I made with thee) which eateth grasse as an oxe.
40:11	Behold now, his strength is in his loynes, and his force is in the nauil of his belly.
40:12	When hee taketh pleasure, his taile is like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapt together.
40:13	His bones are like staues of brasse, and his small bones like staues of yron.
40:14	He is the chiefe of the wayes of God: he that made him, will make his sworde to approch vnto him.
40:15	Surely the mountaines bring him foorth grasse, where all the beastes of the fielde play.
40:16	Lyeth hee vnder the trees in the couert of the reede and fennes?
40:17	Can the trees couer him with their shadow? or can the willowes of the riuer compasse him about?
40:18	Behold, he spoyleth the riuer, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw vp Iorden into his mouth.
40:19	Hee taketh it with his eyes, and thrusteth his nose through whatsoeuer meeteth him.
40:20	Canst thou drawe out Liuiathan with an hooke, and with a line which thou shalt cast downe vnto his tongue?
40:21	Canst thou cast an hooke into his nose? canst thou perce his iawes with an angle?
40:22	Will he make many prayers vnto thee, or speake thee faire?
40:23	Will hee make a couenant with thee? and wilt thou take him as a seruant for euer?
40:24	Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? or wilt thou bynd him for thy maydes? (Job : ) Shall the companions baket with him? shall they deuide him among the marchants? (Job : ) Canst thou fill the basket with his skinne? or the fishpanier with his head? (Job : ) Lay thine hand vpon him: remember the battel, and do no more so. (Job : ) Behold, his hope is in vaine: for shall not one perish euen at the sight of him?
