Job 40
40
1Moreover the LORD answered Job,
2“Shall he who argues contend with the Almighty?
He who argues with God, let him answer it.”
3 Then Job answered the LORD,
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 the LORD 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 judgement?
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 honour 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.
18His 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?

Iyoḇ (Job) 40
40
1And יהוה answered Iyoḇ, and said,
2“Should a reprover contend with the Almighty? Let him who reproves Eloah answer it.”
3And Iyoḇ answered יהוה and said,
4“See, I am insignificant, what would I answer You? I lay my hand over my mouth.
5Once I have spoken, but I have no answer – and twice, but I say no more.”
6Then יהוה answered Iyoḇ out of the whirlwind, and said,
7“Now gird up your loins like a man; I ask you, and you answer Me.
8Would you also set aside My judgment? Would you pronounce Me wrong, and you be declared righteous?
9Or do you have an arm like Ěl? Or do you thunder with a voice like His?
10Deck yourself, please, with excellency and grandeur, and put on esteem and splendour.
11Scatter abroad the rage of your wrath, and look on everyone who is proud and bring him low.
12Look on everyone who is proud, humble him. And tread down the wrong-doers in their place.
13Hide them in the dust together, bind their faces in obscurity.
14Then even I would confess to you that your own right hand does save you.
15See now, Behĕmoth, which I made along with you – he eats grass like an ox.
16See now, his strength is in his loins, and his power is in his stomach muscles.
17He bends his tail like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are knit together.
18His bones are like tubes of bronze, his ribs like bars of iron.
19He is the beginning of the ways of Ěl. His Maker brings near His sword.
20For the mountains yield food for him, and all the beasts of the field play there.
21He lies under the slender trees, under cover of reed and swamp.
22The slender trees cover him with their shade; the willows by the stream surround him.
23See, if a river rages, he is not alarmed; he feels safe, even if the Yardĕn gushes into his mouth,
24Before his eyes, shall he be caught, with snares? Or his nose pierced?
