  40:1 ¶
And the Lord God answered Job, and said, |
|
40:1 ¶
Moreover Yahwehº
answeredººº
Job,º
and said,ºº |
|
40:2
Will [any one] pervert judgment with the Mighty One? and he that reproves God, let him return it for answer. |
|
40:2
Shall he that contendethºº
withº
Shaddaiº
instructº
[him]? he that reprovethºº
Eloah,º
let him answerºº
it. |
|
40:3 ¶
And Job answered and said to the Lord, |
|
40:3 ¶
Then Jobº
answeredººº
Yahweh,º
and said,ºº |
|
40:4
Why do I yet plead? being rebuked even while reproving the Lord: hearing such things, whereas I am nothing: and what shall I answer to these [arguments]? I will lay my hand upon my mouth. |
|
40:4
Behold,º
I am vile;ºº
whatº
shall I answerºº
thee? I will layºº
mine handº
uponº
my mouth.º |
|
40:5
I have spoken once; but I will not do so a second time. |
|
40:5
Onceº
have I spoken;ºº
but I will notº
answer:ºº
yea, twice;º
but I will proceed no further.ººº |
|
40:6 ¶
And the Lord yet again answered and spoke to Job out of the cloud, [saying], |
|
40:6 ¶
Then answeredºº
Yahwehº
untoº
Jobº
out ofº
the whirlwind,º
and said,ºº |
|
40:7
Nay, gird up now thy loins like a man; and I will ask thee, and do thou answer me. |
|
40:7
Gird upºº
thy loinsº
nowº
like a man:º
I will demandºº
of thee, and declareºº
thou unto me. |
|
40:8
Do not set aside my judgment: and dost thou think that I have dealt with thee in any other way, than that thou mightest appear to be righteous? |
|
40:8
Wilt thou alsoº
disannulºº
my judgment?º
wilt thou condemnºº
me, thatº
thou mayest be righteous?ºº |
|
40:9
Hast thou an arm like the Lord's? or dost thou thunder with a voice like his? |
|
40:9
Hast thou an armº
like El?º
or canst thou thunderºº
with a voiceº
like him?º |
|
40:10
Assume now a lofty bearing and power; and clothe thyself with glory and honour. |
|
40:10
Deckºº
thyself nowº
[with] majestyº
and excellency;º
and arrayºº
thyself with gloryº
and beauty.º |
|
40:11
And send forth messengers with wrath; and lay low every haughty one. |
|
40:11
Cast abroadºº
the rageº
of thy wrath:º
and beholdºº
every oneº
[that is] proud,º
and abaseºº
him. |
|
40:12
Bring down also the proud man; and consume at once the ungodly. |
|
40:12
Lookºº
onº
every oneº
[that is] proud,º
[and] bring him low;ºº
and tread downºº
the wickedº
in their place.º |
|
40:13
And hide them together in the earth; and fill their faces with shame. |
|
40:13
Hideºº
them in the dustº
together;º
[and] bindºº
their facesº
in secret.ºº |
|
40:14
[Then] will I confess that thy right hand can save [thee]. |
|
40:14
Then will Iº
alsoº
confessºº
unto thee thatº
thine own right handº
can saveºº
thee. |
|
40:15 ¶
But now look at the wild beasts with thee; they eat grass like oxen. |
|
40:15 ¶
Beholdº
nowº
behemoth,º
whichº
I madeºº
withº
thee; he eatethºº
grassº
as an ox.º |
|
40:16
Behold now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly. |
|
40:16
Loº
now,º
his strengthº
[is] in his loins,º
and his forceº
[is] in the navelº
of his belly.º |
|
40:17
He sets up his tail like a cypress; and his nerves are wrapped together. |
|
40:17
He movethºº
his tailº
likeº
a cedar:º
the sinewsº
of his stonesº
are wrapped together.ºº |
|
40:18
His sides are sides of brass; and his backbone is [as] cast iron. |
|
40:18
His bonesº
[are as] strongº
piecesº
of brass;º
his bonesº
[are] like barsº
of iron.º |
|
40:19
This is the chief of the creation of the Lord; made to be played with by his angels. |
|
40:19
Heº
[is] the chiefº
of the waysº
of El:º
he that madeºº
him can makeºº
his swordº
to approachºº
[unto him]. |
|
40:20
And when he has gone up to a steep mountain, he causes joy to the quadrupeds in the deep. |
|
40:20
Surelyº
the mountainsº
bring him forthºº
food,º
whereº
allº
the beastsº
of the fieldº
play.ºº |
|
40:21
He lies under trees of every kind, by the papyrus, and reed, and bulrush. |
|
40:21
He liethºº
underº
the shady trees,º
in the covertº
of the reed,º
and fens.º |
|
40:22
And the great trees make a shadow over him with their branches, and [so do] the bushes of the field. |
|
40:22
The shady treesº
coverºº
him [with] their shadow;º
the willowsº
of the brookº
compass him about.ºº |
|
40:23
If there should be a flood, he will not perceive it; he trust that Jordan will rush up into his mouth. |
|
40:23
Behold,º
he drinketh upºº
a river,º
[and] hastethºº
not:º
he trustethºº
thatº
he can draw upºº
Jordanº
intoº
his mouth.º |
|
40:24
[Yet one] shall take him in his sight; [one] shall catch [him] with a cord, and pierce his nose. |
|
40:24
He takethºº
it with his eyes:º
[his] noseº
piercethº
throughºº
snares.º |
