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?

Job 40
40
1The Lord said to Job:
2“Will the person who argues with the Almighty correct him?
Let the person who accuses God answer him.”
3Then Job answered the Lord:
4“I am not worthy; I cannot answer you anything,
so I will put my hand over my mouth.
5I spoke one time, but I will not answer again;
I even spoke two times, but I will say nothing more.”
6Then the Lord spoke to Job from the storm:
7“Be strong, like a man!
I will ask you questions,
and you must answer me.
8Would you say that I am unfair?
Would you blame me to make yourself look right?
9Are you as strong as God?
Can your voice thunder like his?
10If so, then decorate yourself with glory and beauty;
dress in honor and greatness as if they were clothing.
11Let your great anger punish;
look at the proud and bring them down.
12Look at the proud and make them humble.
Crush the wicked wherever they are.
13Bury them all in the dirt together;
cover their faces in the grave.
14If you can do that, then I myself will praise you,
because you are strong enough to save yourself.
15“Look at Behemoth,
which I made just as I made you.
It eats grass like an ox.
16Look at the strength it has in its body;
the muscles of its stomach are powerful.
17Its tail is like a cedar tree;
the muscles of its thighs are woven together.
18Its bones are like tubes of bronze;
its legs are like bars of iron.
19It is one of the first of God’s works,
but its Maker can destroy it.
20The hills, where the wild animals play,
provide food for it.
21It lies under the lotus plants,
hidden by the tall grass in the swamp.
22The lotus plants hide it in their shadow;
the poplar trees by the streams surround it.
23If the river floods, it will not be afraid;
it is safe even if the Jordan River rushes to its mouth.
24Can anyone blind its eyes and capture it?
Can anyone put hooks in its nose?
