Young's Literal1 Moreover the LORD answered Job, and said, 2 Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct [him]? he that reproveth God, let him answer it. 3 Then Job answered the LORD, and said, 4 Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay mine hand upon my mouth. 5 Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea, twice; but I will proceed no further. 6 Then answered the LORD unto Job out of the whirlwind, and said, 7 Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me. 8 Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous? 9 Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice like him? 10 Deck thyself now [with] majesty and excellency; and array thyself with glory and beauty. 11 Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and behold every one [that is] proud, and abase him. 12 Look on every one [that is] proud, [and] bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place. 13 Hide them in the dust together; [and] bind their faces in secret. 14 Then will I also confess unto thee that thine own right hand can save thee. 15 Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox. 16 Lo now, his strength [is] in his loins, and his force [is] in the navel of his belly. 17 He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together. 18 His bones [are as] strong pieces of brass; his bones [are] like bars of iron. 19 He [is] the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach [unto him]. 20 Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play. 21 He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens. 22 The shady trees cover him [with] their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about. 23 Behold, he drinketh up a river, [and] hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth. 24 He taketh it with his eyes: [his] nose pierceth through snares. King James Version1 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? |
