Job Chapter 40
|
|||
|
|
1 Moreover Yahweh answered Job,
|
|||
|
|
2 “Shall he who argues contend with the Almighty? He who argues with God, let him answer it.”
|
|||
|
|
3 Then Job answered Yahweh,
|
|||
|
|
4 “Behold, I am of small account. What will I answer you? I lay my hand on my mouth.
|
|||
|
|
5 I have spoken once, and I will not answer; Yes, twice, but I will proceed no further.”
|
|||
|
|
6 Then Yahweh answered Job out of the whirlwind:
|
|||
|
|
7 “Now brace yourself like a man. I will question you, and you will answer me.
|
|||
|
|
8 Will you even annul my judgment? Will you condemn me, that you may be justified?
|
|||
|
|
9 Or do you have an arm like God? Can you thunder with a voice like him?
|
|||
|
|
10 “Now deck yourself with excellency and dignity. Array yourself with honor and majesty.
|
|||
|
|
11 Pour out the fury of your anger. Look at everyone who is proud, and bring him low.
|
|||
|
|
12 Look at everyone who is proud, and humble him. Crush the wicked in their place.
|
|||
|
|
13 Hide them in the dust together. Bind their faces in the hidden place.
|
|||
|
|
14 Then I will also admit to you that your own right hand can save you.
|
|||
|
|
15 “See now behemoth, which I made as well as you. He eats grass as an ox.
|
|||
|
|
16 Look now, his strength is in his thighs. His force is in the muscles of his belly.
|
|||
|
|
17 He moves his tail like a cedar. The sinews of his thighs are knit together.
|
|||
|
|
18 His bones are like tubes of bronze. His limbs are like bars of iron.
|
|||
|
|
19 He is the chief of the ways of God. He who made him gives him his sword.
|
|||
|
|
20 Surely the mountains produce food for him, where all the animals of the field play.
|
|||
|
|
21 He lies under the lotus trees, in the covert of the reed, and the marsh.
|
|||
|
|
22 The lotuses cover him with their shade. The willows of the brook surround him.
|
|||
|
|
23 Behold, if a river overflows, he doesn’t tremble. He is confident, though the Jordan swells even to his mouth.
|
|||
|
|
24 Shall any take him when he is on the watch, or pierce through his nose with a snare?
