YLT - Job - 40

40:1  And Jehovah doth answer Job, and saith: --

40:2  Is the striver with the Mighty instructed? The reprover of God, let him answer it.

40:3  And Job answereth Jehovah, and saith: --

40:4  Lo, I have been vile, What do I return to Thee? My hand I have placed on my mouth.

40:5  Once I have spoken, and I answer not, And twice, and I add not.

40:6  And Jehovah answereth Job out of the whirlwind, and saith: --

40:7  Gird, I pray thee, as a man, thy loins, I ask thee, and cause thou Me to know.

40:8  Dost thou also make void My judgment? Dost thou condemn Me, That thou mayest be righteous?

40:9  And an arm like God hast thou? And with a voice like Him dost thou thunder?

40:10  Put on, I pray thee, excellency and loftiness, Yea, honour and beauty put on.

40:11  Scatter abroad the wrath of thine anger, And see every proud one, and make him low.

40:12  See every proud one--humble him, And tread down the wicked in their place.

40:13  Hide them in the dust together, Their faces bind in secret.

40:14  And even I--I do praise thee, For thy right hand giveth salvation to thee.

40:15  Lo, I pray thee, Behemoth, that I made with thee: Grass as an ox he eateth.

40:16  Lo, I pray thee, his power is in his loins, And his strength in the muscles of his belly.

40:17  He doth bend his tail as a cedar, The sinews of his thighs are wrapped together,

40:18  His bones are tubes of brass, His bones are as a bar of iron.

40:19  He is a beginning of the ways of God, His Maker bringeth nigh his sword;

40:20  For food do mountains bear for him, And all the beasts of the field play there.

40:21  Under shades he lieth down, In a secret place of reed and mire.

40:22  Cover him do shades, with their shadow, Cover him do willows of the brook.

40:23  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?
