Job 40
1 And YHWH answers Job and says:2 "Is the striver with the Mighty instructed? The reprover of God, let him answer it."3 And Job answers YHWH and says:4 "Behold, I have been vile, || What do I return to You? I have placed my hand on my mouth.5 I have spoken once, and I do not answer, || And twice, and I do not add."
6 And YHWH answers Job out of the whirlwind and says:7 "Now gird your loins as a man, || I ask you, and you cause Me to know.8 Do you also make My judgment void? Do you condemn Me, || That you may be righteous?9 And do you have an arm like God? And do you thunder with a voice like His?10 Now put on excellence and loftiness, || Indeed, put on splendor and beauty.11 Scatter abroad the wrath of your anger, || And see every proud one, and make him low.12 See every proud one—humble him, || And tread down the wicked in their place.13 Hide them in the dust together, || Bind their faces in secret.14 And even I praise you, || For your right hand gives salvation to you.
15 Now behold, behemoth, || That I made with you: He eats grass as an ox.16 Now behold, his power [is] in his loins, || And his strength in the muscles of his belly.17 He bends his tail as a cedar, || The sinews of his thighs are wrapped together,18 His bones [are] tubes of bronze, || His bones [are] as a bar of iron.19 He [is] a beginning of the ways of God, || His Maker [alone] brings His sword near;20 For mountains bear food for him, || And all the beasts of the field play there.21 He lies down under shades, || In a secret place of reed and marsh.22 Shades cover him, [with] their shadow, || Willows of the brook cover him.23 Behold, a flood oppresses—he does not hurry, || He is confident though Jordan || Comes forth to his mouth.24 Does [one] take him by his eyes? || Does [one] pierce the nose with snares?"
