Good News Bible

Job 40:7-17 Good News Bible (GNB)

7. Stand up straight now,and answer my questions.

8. Are you trying to prove that I am unjust —to put me in the wrong and yourself in the right?

9. Are you as strong as I am?Can your voice thunder as loud as mine?

10. If so, stand up in your honour and pride;clothe yourself with majesty and glory.

11. Look at those who are proud;pour out your anger and humble them.

12. Yes, look at them and bring them down;crush the wicked where they stand.

13. Bury them all in the ground;bind them in the world of the dead.

14. Then I will be the first to praise youand admit that you won the victory yourself.

15. Look at the monster Behemoth;I created him and I created you.He eats grass like a cow,

16. but what strength there is in his body,and what power there is in his muscles!

17. His tail stands up like a cedar,and the muscles in his legs are strong.
