ESV

1	And the LORD said to Job:
2	“Shall a faultfinder contend with the Almighty? He who argues with God, let him answer it.”
3	Then Job answered the LORD and said:
4	“Behold, I am of small account; what shall I answer you? I lay my hand on my mouth.
5	I have spoken once, and I will not answer; twice, but I will proceed no further.“
6	Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind and said:
7	“Dress for action like a man; I will question you, and you make it known to me.
8	Will you even put me in the wrong? Will you condemn me that you may be in the right?
9	Have you an arm like God, and can you thunder with a voice like his?
10	“Adorn yourself with majesty and dignity; clothe yourself with glory and splendor.
11	Pour out the overflowings of your anger, and look on everyone who is proud and abase him.
12	Look on everyone who is proud and bring him low and tread down the wicked where they stand.
13	Hide them all in the dust together; bind their faces in the world below.
14	Then will I also acknowledge to you that your own right hand can save you.
15	“Behold, Behemoth, which I made as I made you; he eats grass like an ox.
16	Behold, his strength in his loins, and his power in the muscles of his belly.
17	He makes his tail stiff like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are knit together.
18	His bones are tubes of bronze, his limbs like bars of iron.
19	“He is the first of the works of God; let him who made him bring near his sword!
20	For the mountains yield food for him where all the wild beasts play.
21	Under the lotus plants he lies, in the shelter of the reeds and in the marsh.
22	For his shade the lotus trees cover him; the willows of the brook surround him.
23	Behold, if the river is turbulent he is not frightened; he is confident though Jordan rushes against his mouth.
24	Can one take him by his eyes, or pierce his nose with a snare?

1	The LORD said to Job:
2	“Will the one who contends with the Almighty correct him? Let him who accuses God answer him!”
3	Then Job answered the LORD:
4	“I am unworthy-how can I reply to you? I put my hand over my mouth.
5	I spoke once, but I have no answer- twice, but I will say no more.“
6	Then the LORD spoke to Job out of the storm:
7	“Brace yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall answer me.
8	“Would you discredit my justice? Would you condemn me to justify yourself?
9	Do you have an arm like God's, and can your voice thunder like his?
10	Then adorn yourself with glory and splendor, and clothe yourself in honor and majesty.
11	Unleash the fury of your wrath, look at every proud man and bring him low,
12	look at every proud man and humble him, crush the wicked where they stand.
13	Bury them all in the dust together; shroud their faces in the grave.
14	Then I myself will admit to you that your own right hand can save you.
15	“Look at the behemoth, which I made along with you and which feeds on grass like an ox.
16	What strength he has in his loins, what power in the muscles of his belly!
17	His tail sways like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are close-knit.
18	His bones are tubes of bronze, his limbs like rods of iron.
19	He ranks first among the works of God, yet his Maker can approach him with his sword.
20	The hills bring him their produce, and all the wild animals play nearby.
21	Under the lotus plants he lies, hidden among the reeds in the marsh.
22	The lotuses conceal him in their shadow; the poplars by the stream surround him.
23	When the river rages, he is not alarmed; he is secure, though the Jordan should surge against his mouth.
24	Can anyone capture him by the eyes, or trap him and pierce his nose?

NLT

1	Then the LORD said to Job,
2	“Do you still want to argue with the Almighty? You are God's critic, but do you have the answers?”
3	Then Job replied to the LORD,
4	“I am nothing– how could I ever find the answers? I will cover my mouth with my hand.
5	I have said too much already. I have nothing more to say.“
6	Then the LORD answered Job from the whirlwind:
7	“Brace yourself like a man, because I have some questions for you, and you must answer them.
8	“Will you discredit my justice and condemn me just to prove you are right?
9	Are you as strong as God? Can you thunder with a voice like his?
10	All right, put on your glory and splendor, your honor and majesty.
11	Give vent to your anger. Let it overflow against the proud.
12	Humiliate the proud with a glance; walk on the wicked where they stand.
13	Bury them in the dust. Imprison them in the world of the dead.
14	Then even I would praise you, for your own strength would save you.
15	“Take a look at Behemoth, which I made, just as I made you. It eats grass like an ox.
16	See its powerful loins and the muscles of its belly.
17	Its tail is as strong as a cedar. The sinews of its thighs are knit tightly together.
18	Its bones are tubes of bronze. Its limbs are bars of iron.
19	It is a prime example of God's handiwork, and only its Creator can threaten it.
20	The mountains offer it their best food, where all the wild animals play.
21	It lies under the lotus plants, hidden by the reeds in the marsh.
22	The lotus plants give it shade among the willows beside the stream.
23	It is not disturbed by the raging river, not concerned when the swelling Jordan rushes around it.
24	No one can catch it off guard or put a ring in its nose and lead it away.

1	Moreover the LORD 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 LORD, 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 LORD 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 cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.
23	Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.
24	He taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth through snares.
