40 Yahweh continued to speak to Job. He said,
2 “Do you still think I am wrong and want to keep arguing with me?
If you want to keep criticizing me, then answer the questions I have asked you!”
3 But Job replied to Yahweh,
4 “Now I realize how insignificant I am. I am not able to answer your questions.
I will not say anything in response to them.
5 I have already said more than I should have said.
So now I will say nothing more.”
6 Then Yahweh again spoke to Job from inside the storm. He said,
7 “I am going to ask you some more questions, so get ready to answer them directly.
8 Do you still want to govern the universe instead of me?
Do you still want to insist that I am doing things wrong and that you would do them right?
9 Do you have the same amount of power as I do?
Does your voice sound as loud as thunder, as mine does?
10 If you want to govern the universe, you must show that you are dignified and noble.
You must show that your character is glorious and beautiful.
11 You must express holy wrath against the people who deserve it.
You must recognize which people are being sinfully arrogant and take them out of important positions.
12 Yes, you must not allow arrogant people to remain in important positions.
Destroy wicked people quickly!
13 Punish all of them by killing them.
Then send them to the place where dead people go.
14 If you did that, I would congratulate you
and admit that you could save yourself by your own ability.
15 But to show you how insignificant you really are,
I want you to think about a great animal that I created, the hippopotamus.
I made you, and I also made it.
Even though this great beast has the size and strength to hunt and kill other animals, it eats plants as oxen do.
16 Think about how the legs of a hippopotamus are very strong.
The muscles in its belly are very powerful.
17 Hippopotamuses can make their tails as stiff as the branches of cedar trees and hold them up in the air.
They have very strong legs.
18 Their thigh bones are so strong that they are like tubes made of bronze.
Their legs are so strong that they are like bars made of iron.
19 Hippopotamuses are among the strongest animals that I made.
I gave them tusks so they could cut down plants and eat them.
20 They need those tusks because they come out of the rivers where they live in order to eat the plants that grow nearby.
But other animals do not have to be afraid of them, so those animals do not run away or hide.
21 Hippopotamuses lie under trees that grow near rivers.
They shelter in the tall reeds that grow in swamps.
22 Hippopotamuses stay in the shade of trees that grow near rivers.
They stay in the midst of trees that grow near water.
23 Even when the rivers in which they live become strong and turbulent, this does not disturb hippopotamuses.
They do not mind even if the level of the water in the river rises very high.
24 No one can capture a hippopotamus if he is standing right where the hippopotamus can see him.
No one can make a hippopotamus a tame animal.
