Daily Bible CEV September 27 Verses

³Job said to the LORD:

⁴Who am I to answer you?

⁵

I did speak once or twice, but never again.

⁶Then out of the storm

the LORD said to Job:

⁷Face me and answer the questions I ask!

⁸Are you trying to prove that you are innocent

by accusing me of injustice?

⁹Do you have a powerful arm and a thundering voice

that compare with mine?

¹⁰If so, then surround yourself with glory and majesty.

^*11Show your furious anger!

Throw down and crush ¹²all who are proud and evil.

¹³Wrap them in grave clothes and bury them together

in the dusty soil.

¹⁴Do this, and I will agree that you have won this argument.

I Created You

¹⁵I created both you and the hippopotamus.

It eats only grass like an ox,

¹⁶

but look at the mighty muscles in its body ¹⁷and legs.

Its tail is like a cedar tree, and its thighs are thick.

¹⁸

The bones in its legs are like bronze or iron.

¹⁹I made it more powerful than any other creature,

yet I am stronger still.

²⁰Undisturbed, it eats grass

while the other animals play nearby.

^*21It rests in the shade of trees along the riverbank

²²

or hides among reeds in the swamp.

²³It remains calm and unafraid

with the Jordan River rushing and splashing in its face.

²⁴There is no way to capture a hippopotamus--

not even by hooking its nose or blinding its eyes.
