Is the striver with the Mighty instructed? The reprover of God, let him answer it.
|
| 40:3 |
And Job answereth Jehovah, and saith: --
|
| 40:4 |
Lo, I have been vile, What do I return to Thee? My hand I have placed on my mouth.
|
| 40:5 |
Once I have spoken, and I answer not, And twice, and I add not.
|
| 40:6 |
And Jehovah answereth Job out of the whirlwind, and saith: --
|
| 40:7 |
Gird, I pray thee, as a man, thy loins, I ask thee, and cause thou Me to know.
|
| 40:8 |
Dost thou also make void My judgment? Dost thou condemn Me, That thou mayest be righteous?
|
| 40:9 |
And an arm like God hast thou? And with a voice like Him dost thou thunder?
|
| 40:10 |
Put on, I pray thee, excellency and loftiness, Yea, honour and beauty put on.
|
| 40:11 |
Scatter abroad the wrath of thine anger, And see every proud one, and make him low.
|

Lo, I pray thee, Behemoth, that I made with thee: Grass as an ox he eateth.

Lo, I pray thee, his power [is] in his loins, And his strength in the muscles of his belly.
|

He doth bend his tail as a cedar, The sinews of his thighs are wrapped together,
|
| 40:18 |
His bones [are] tubes of brass, His bones [are] as a bar of iron.
|
| 40:19 |
He [is] a beginning of the ways of God, His Maker bringeth nigh his sword;
|
| 40:20 |
For food do mountains bear for him, And all the beasts of the field play there.
|
| 40:21 |
Under shades he lieth down, In a secret place of reed and mire.
|
| 40:22 |
Cover him do shades, [with] their shadow, Cover him do willows of the brook.
|

Lo, a flood oppresseth -- he doth not haste, He is confident though Jordan Doth come forth unto his mouth.
|
| 40:24 |
Before his eyes doth [one] take him, With snares doth [one] pierce the nose?
