|
|
<a id="1" name="1"></a>
|
|
1. And the LORD said to Job:
|
|
<a id="2" name="2"></a>
|
|
2. “Shall a faultfinder contend with the Almighty? He who argues with God, let him answer it.”
|
|
<a id="3" name="3"></a>
|
|
3. Then Job answered the LORD and said:
|
|
<a id="4" name="4"></a>
|
|
4. “Behold, I am of small account; what shall I answer you? I lay my hand on my mouth.
|
|
<a id="5" name="5"></a>
|
|
5. I have spoken once, and I will not answer; twice, but I will proceed no further.”
|
|
<a id="6" name="6"></a>
|
|
6. Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind and said:
|
|
<a id="7" name="7"></a>
|
|
7. “Dress for action like a man; I will question you, and you make it known to me.
|
|
<a id="8" name="8"></a>
|
|
8. Will you even put me in the wrong? Will you condemn me that you may be in the right?
|
|
<a id="9" name="9"></a>
|
|
9. Have you an arm like God, and can you thunder with a voice like his?
|
|
<a id="10" name="10"></a>
|
|
10. “Adorn yourself with majesty and dignity; clothe yourself with glory and splendor.
|
|
<a id="11" name="11"></a>
|
|
11. Pour out the overflowings of your anger, and look on everyone who is proud and abase him.
|
|
<a id="12" name="12"></a>
|
|
12. Look on everyone who is proud and bring him low and tread down the wicked where they stand.
|
|
<a id="13" name="13"></a>
|
|
13. Hide them all in the dust together; bind their faces in the world below.
|
|
<a id="14" name="14"></a>
|
|
14. Then will I also acknowledge to you that your own right hand can save you.
|
|
<a id="15" name="15"></a>
|
|
15. “Behold, Behemoth, which I made as I made you; he eats grass like an ox.
|
|
<a id="16" name="16"></a>
|
|
16. Behold, his strength in his loins, and his power in the muscles of his belly.
|
|
<a id="17" name="17"></a>
|
|
17. He makes his tail stiff like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are knit together.
|
|
<a id="18" name="18"></a>
|
|
18. His bones are tubes of bronze, his limbs like bars of iron.
|
|
<a id="19" name="19"></a>
|
|
19. “He is the first of the works of God; let him who made him bring near his sword!
|
|
<a id="20" name="20"></a>
|
|
20. For the mountains yield food for him where all the wild beasts play.
|
|
<a id="21" name="21"></a>
|
|
21. Under the lotus plants he lies, in the shelter of the reeds and in the marsh.
|
|
<a id="22" name="22"></a>
|
|
22. For his shade the lotus trees cover him; the willows of the brook surround him.
|
|
<a id="23" name="23"></a>
|
|
23. Behold, if the river is turbulent he is not frightened; he is confident though Jordan rushes against his mouth.
|
|
<a id="24" name="24"></a>
|
|
24. Can one take him by his eyes, or pierce his nose with a snare?
