Job 40

Job answers that he is vile and has no adequate reply, putting his hand over his mouth. God then challenges him again: will Job condemn God in order to justify himself? God tells Job to display divine majesty and humble the proud if he can, then describes Behemoth as a mighty creature under God’s creative power.
