Youngs Literal Translation |
|
| 40:1 | Moreover the LORD answered Job, and said, | And Jehovah doth answer Job, and saith: -- |
| 40:2 | Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproveth God, let him answer it. | Is the striver with the Mighty instructed? The reprover of God, let him answer it. |
| 40:3 | Then Job answered the LORD, and said, | And Job answereth Jehovah, and saith: -- |
| 40:4 | Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay mine hand upon my mouth. | Lo, I have been vile, What do I return to Thee? My hand I have placed on my mouth. |
| 40:5 | Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea, twice; but I will proceed no further. | Once I have spoken, and I answer not, And twice, and I add not. |
| 40:6 | Then answered the LORD unto Job out of the whirlwind, and said, | And Jehovah answereth Job out of the whirlwind, and saith: -- |
| 40:7 | Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me. | Gird, I pray thee, as a man, thy loins, I ask thee, and cause thou Me to know. |
| 40:8 | Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous? | Dost thou also make void My judgment? Dost thou condemn Me, That thou mayest be righteous? |
| 40:9 | Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice like him? | And an arm like God hast thou? And with a voice like Him dost thou thunder? |
| 40:10 | Deck thyself now with majesty and excellency; and array thyself with glory and beauty. | Put on, I pray thee, excellency and loftiness, Yea, honour and beauty put on. |
| 40:11 | Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and behold every one that is proud, and abase him. | Scatter abroad the wrath of thine anger, And see every proud one, and make him low. |
| 40:12 | Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place. | See every proud one -- humble him, And tread down the wicked in their place. |
| 40:13 | Hide them in the dust together; and bind their faces in secret. | Hide them in the dust together, Their faces bind in secret. |
| 40:14 | Then will I also confess unto thee that thine own right hand can save thee. | And even I -- I do praise thee, For thy right hand giveth salvation to thee. |
| 40:15 | Behold now |
Lo, I pray thee, Behemoth, that I made with thee: Grass as an ox he eateth. |
| 40:16 | Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly. | Lo, I pray thee, his power `is' in his loins, And his strength in the muscles of his belly. |
| 40:17 | He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together. | He doth bend his tail as a cedar, The sinews of his thighs are wrapped together, |
| 40:18 | His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron. | His bones `are' tubes of brass, His bones `are' as a bar of iron. |
| 40:19 | He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him. | He `is' a beginning of the ways of God, His Maker bringeth nigh his sword; |
| 40:20 | Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play. | For food do mountains bear for him, And all the beasts of the field play there. |
| 40:21 | He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens. | Under shades he lieth down, In a secret place of reed and mire. |
| 40:22 | The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about. | Cover him do shades, `with' their shadow, Cover him do willows of the brook. |
| 40:23 | Behold, |
Lo, a flood oppresseth -- he doth not haste, He is confident though Jordan Doth come forth unto his mouth. |
| 40:24 | Before his eyes doth `one' take him, With snares doth `one' pierce the nose? | |
