| [1]Moreover the LORDH3068 answeredH6030[H8799] JobH347, H559and saidH8799 |
[1]Again the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said, |
| [2]Shall he that contendethH7378[H8800] with the AlmightyH7706 instructH3250 him? he that reprovethH3198[H8688] GodH433, let him answerH6030 itH8799. |
[2]Gird up now thy loins like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me. |
| [3]Then JobH347 answeredH6030[H8799] the LORDH3068, H559and saidH8799 |
[3]Wilt thou disannul my judgment? Or wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be justified? |
| [4]Behold, I am vileH7043[H8804]; what shall I answerH7725[H8686] thee? I will layH7760[H8804] mine handH3027 uponH3926 my mouthH6310. |
[4]Or hast thou an arm like God? Or dost thou thunder with a voice like him? |
| [5]OnceH259 have I spokenH1696[H8765]; but I will not answerH6030[H8799]: yea, twiceH8147; but I will proceed no furtherH3254.[H8686] |
[5]Deck thyself now with majesty and excellency, and array thyself with beauty and glory. |
| [6]Then answeredH6030[H8799] the LORDH3068 unto JobH347 out of the whirlwindH5591, H559and saidH8799 |
[6]Cast abroad the indignation of thy wrath, and behold everyone that is proud, and abase him. |
| [7]Gird upH247[H8798] thy loinsH2504 now like a manH1397: I will demandH7592[H8799] of thee, and declareH3045 thou unto meH8685. |
[7]Look on everyone that is arrogant, and bring him low: and destroy the wicked in their place. |
| [8]Wilt thou also disannulH6565[H8686] my judgmentH4941? wilt thou condemnH7561[H8686] me, that thou mayest be righteousH6663?[H8799] |
[8]Hide them in the dust together, and bind their faces in a secret place. |
| [9]Hast thou an armH2220 like GodH410? or canst thou thunderH7481[H8686] with a voice like himH6963? |
[9]Then will I confess unto thee also, that thy right hand can save thee. |
| [10]DeckH5710[H8798] thyself now with majestyH1347 and excellencyH1363; and arrayH3847[H8799] thyself with gloryH1935 and beautyH1926. |
[10]Behold now Behemoth (whom I made with thee) which eateth grass as an ox. |
| [11]Cast abroadH6327[H8685] the rageH5678 of thy wrathH639: and beholdH7200[H8798] every one that is proudH1343, and abaseH8213 himH8685. |
[11]Behold now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly. |
| [12]LookH7200[H8798] on every one that is proudH1343, and bring him lowH3665[H8685]; and tread downH1915[H8798] the wicked in their placeH7563. |
[12]When he taketh pleasure, his tail is like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together. |
| [13]HideH2934[H8798] them in the dustH6083 togetherH3162; and bindH2280[H8798] their facesH6440 in secretH2934.[H8803] |
[13]His bones are like staves of brass, and his small bones like staves of iron. |
| [14]Then will I also confessH3034[H8686] unto thee that thine own right handH3225 can saveH3467 theeH8686. |
[14]He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him, will make his sword to approach unto him. |
| [15]Behold now behemothH930, which I madeH6213[H8804] with thee; he eatethH398[H8799] grassH2682 as an oxH1241. |
[15]Surely the mountains bring him forth grass, where all the beasts of the field play. |
| [16]Lo now, his strengthH3581 is in his loinsH4975, and his forceH202 is in the navelH8306 of his bellyH990. |
[16]Lieth he under the trees in the covert of the reed and fens? |
| [17]He movethH2654[H8799] his tailH2180 like a cedarH730: the sinewsH1517 of his stonesH6344 are wrapped togetherH8276.[H8792] |
[17]Can the trees cover him with their shadow? Or can the willows of the river compass him about? |
| [18]His bonesH6106 are as strongH650 pieces of brassH5154; his bonesH1634 are like barsH4300 of ironH1270. |
[18]Behold, he spoileth the river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth. |
| [19]He is the chiefH7225 of the waysH1870 of GodH410: he that madeH6213[H8802] him can makeH5066 his swordH2719 to approachH5066 unto himH8686. |
[19]He taketh it with his eyes, and thrusteth his nose through whatsoever meeteth him. |
| [20]Surely the mountainsH2022 bring him forthH5375[H8799] foodH944, where all the beastsH2416 of the fieldH7704 playH7832.[H8762] |
[20]Canst thou draw out Liviathan with an hook, and with a line which thou shalt cast down unto his tongue? |
| [21]He liethH7901[H8799] under the shady treesH6628, in the covertH5643 of the reedH7070, and fensH1207. |
[21]Canst thou cast an hook into his nose? Canst thou pierce his jaws with an angle? |
| [22]The shady treesH6628 coverH5526[H8799] him with their shadowH6752; the willowsH6155 of the brookH5158 compass him aboutH5437.[H8799] |
[22]Will he make many prayers unto thee, or speak thee fair? |
| [23]Behold, he drinketh upH6231[H8799] a riverH5104, and hastethH2648[H8799] not: he trustethH982[H8799] that he can draw upH1518[H8799] JordanH3383 into his mouthH6310. |
[23]Will he make a covenant with thee? And wilt thou take him as a servant forever? |
| [24]He takethH3947[H8799] it with his eyesH5869: his noseH639 pierceth throughH5344[H8799] snaresH4170. |
[24]Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? Or wilt thou bind him for thy maids? |
| 25[No verse] |
[25]Shall the companions banquet with him? Shall they divide him among the merchants? |
| 26[No verse] |
[26]Canst thou fill the basket with his skin? Or the fishpanier with his head? |
| 27[No verse] |
[27]Lay thine hand upon him: remember the battle, and do no more so. |
| 28[No verse] |
[28]Behold, his hope is in vain: for shall not one perish even at the sight of him? |
