Chapter 40

1


 

  And Jehovah doth answer Job, and saith: --  

 

 

--

2


 

  Is the striver with the Mighty instructed? The reprover of God, let him answer it.  

 

 

--

3


 

  And Job answereth Jehovah, and saith: --  

 

 

--

4


 

  Lo, I have been vile, What do I return to Thee? My hand I have placed on my mouth.  

 

 

--

5


 

  Once I have spoken, and I answer not, And twice, and I add not.  

 

 

--

6


 

  And Jehovah answereth Job out of the whirlwind, and saith: --  

 

 

--

7


 

  Gird, I pray thee, as a man, thy loins, I ask thee, and cause thou Me to know.  

 

 

--

8


 

  Dost thou also make void My judgment? Dost thou condemn Me, That thou mayest be righteous?  

 

 

--

9


 

  And an arm like God hast thou? And with a voice like Him dost thou thunder?  

 

 

--

10


 

  Put on, I pray thee, excellency and loftiness, Yea, honour and beauty put on.  

 

 

--

11


 

  Scatter abroad the wrath of thine 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, Their faces bind in secret.  

 

 

--

14


 

  And even I -- I do praise thee, For thy right hand giveth salvation to thee.  

 

 

--

15


 

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

 

 

--

16


 

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

 

 

--

17


 

  He doth bend his tail as a cedar, The sinews of his thighs are wrapped together,  

 

 

--

18


 

  His bones [are] tubes of brass, His bones [are] as a bar of iron.  

 

 

--

19


 

  He [is] a beginning of the ways of God, His Maker bringeth nigh his sword;  

 

 

--

20


 

  For food do mountains bear for him, And all the beasts of the field play there.  

 

 

--

21


 

  Under shades he lieth down, In a secret place of reed and mire.  

 

 

--

22


 

  Cover him do shades, [with] their shadow, Cover him do willows of the brook.  

 

 

--

23


 

  Lo, a flood oppresseth -- he doth not haste, He is confident though Jordan Doth come forth unto his mouth.  

 

 

--

24


 

  Before his eyes doth [one] take him, With snares doth [one] pierce the nose?  

 

 

--
