3. Job said to the Lord:
4. Who am I to answer you?
5. I did speak once or twice,but never again.
6. Then out of the stormthe Lord said to Job:
7. Face me and answerthe questions I ask!
8. Are you trying to provethat you are innocentby accusing me of injustice?
9. Do you have a powerful armand a thundering voicethat compare with mine?
10. If so, then surround yourselfwith glory and majesty.
13. Wrap them in grave clothesand bury them togetherin the dusty soil.
14. Do this, and I will agreethat you have wonthis argument.
15. I created both youand the hippopotamus.It eats only grass like an ox,
16. but look at the mighty musclesin its body
17. and legs.Its tail is like a cedar tree,and its thighs are thick.
18. The bones in its legsare like bronze or iron.
19. I made it more powerfulthan any other creature,yet I am stronger still.
