Job 40
1 Moreouer ye Lord spake vnto Iob, and said,
| וַיַּעַן יְהֹוָה אֶת־אִיּוֹב וַיֹּאמַֽר׃ |
2 Is this to learne to striue with the Almightie? he that reprooueth God, let him answere to it.
| הֲרֹב עִם־שַׁדַּי יִסּוֹר מוֹכִיחַ אֱלוֹהַּ יַעֲנֶֽנָּה׃ |
3 Then Iob answered the Lord, saying,
| וַיַּעַן אִיּוֹב אֶת־יְהֹוָה וַיֹּאמַֽר׃ |
4 Beholde, I am vile: what shall I answere thee? I will lay mine hand vpon my mouth.
| הֵן קַלֹּתִי מָה אֲשִׁיבֶךָּ יָדִי שַׂמְתִּי לְמוֹ־פִֽי׃ |
5 Once haue I spoken, but I will answere no more, yea twise, but I will proceede no further.
| אַחַת דִּבַּרְתִּי וְלֹא אֶעֱנֶה וּשְׁתַּיִם וְלֹא אוֹסִֽיף׃ |
6 Againe the Lord answered Iob out of the whirle winde, and said,
| וַיַּעַן־יְהֹוָה אֶת־אִיּוֹב (מנסערה) [מִן ׀ סְעָרָה] וַיֹּאמַֽר׃ |
7 Girde vp now thy loynes like a man: I will demaunde of thee, and declare thou vnto me.
| אֱזׇר־נָא כְגֶבֶר חֲלָצֶיךָ אֶשְׁאָלְךָ וְהוֹדִיעֵֽנִי׃ |
8 Wilt thou disanul my iudgement? or wilt thou condemne me, that thou mayst be iustified?
| הַאַף תָּפֵר מִשְׁפָּטִי תַּרְשִׁיעֵנִי לְמַעַן תִּצְדָּֽק׃ |
9 Or hast thou an arme like God? or doest thou thunder with a voyce like him?
| וְאִם־זְרוֹעַ כָּאֵל ׀ לָךְ וּבְקוֹל כָּמֹהוּ תַרְעֵֽם׃ |
10 Decke thy selfe now with maiestie and excellencie, and aray thy selfe with beautie and glory.
| עֲדֵה נָא גָאוֹן וָגֹבַהּ וְהוֹד וְהָדָר תִּלְבָּֽשׁ׃ |
11 Cast abroad the indignation of thy wrath, and beholde euery one that is proude, and abase him.
| הָפֵץ עֶבְרוֹת אַפֶּךָ וּרְאֵה כׇל־גֵּאֶה וְהַשְׁפִּילֵֽהוּ׃ |
12 Looke on euery one that is arrogant, and bring him lowe: and destroy the wicked in their place.
| רְאֵה כׇל־גֵּאֶה הַכְנִיעֵהוּ וַהֲדֹךְ רְשָׁעִים תַּחְתָּֽם׃ |
13 Hide them in the dust together, and binde their faces in a secret place.
| טׇמְנֵם בֶּעָפָר יָחַד פְּנֵיהֶם חֲבֹשׁ בַּטָּמֽוּן׃ |
14 Then will I confesse vnto thee also, that thy right hand can saue thee.
| וְגַם־אֲנִי אוֹדֶךָּ כִּֽי־תוֹשִׁעַ לְךָ יְמִינֶֽךָ׃ |
15 Behold now Behemoth (whom I made with thee) which eateth grasse as an oxe.
| הִנֵּה־נָא בְהֵמוֹת אֲשֶׁר־עָשִׂיתִי עִמָּךְ חָצִיר כַּבָּקָר יֹאכֵֽל׃ |
16 Behold now, his strength is in his loynes, and his force is in the nauil of his belly.
| הִנֵּה־נָא כֹחוֹ בְמׇתְנָיו וְאוֹנוֹ בִּשְׁרִירֵי בִטְנֽוֹ׃ |
17 When hee taketh pleasure, his taile is like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapt together.
| יַחְפֹּץ זְנָבוֹ כְמוֹ־אָרֶז גִּידֵי פַחֲדָו יְשֹׂרָֽגוּ׃ |
18 His bones are like staues of brasse, and his small bones like staues of yron.
| עֲצָמָיו אֲפִיקֵי נְחֻשָׁה גְּרָמָיו כִּמְטִיל בַּרְזֶֽל׃ |
19 He is the chiefe of the wayes of God: he that made him, will make his sworde to approch vnto him.
| הוּא רֵאשִׁית דַּרְכֵי־אֵל הָעֹשׂוֹ יַגֵּשׁ חַרְבּֽוֹ׃ |
20 Surely the mountaines bring him foorth grasse, where all the beastes of the fielde play.
| כִּי־בוּל הָרִים יִשְׂאוּ־לוֹ וְֽכׇל־חַיַּת הַשָּׂדֶה יְשַׂחֲקוּ־שָֽׁם׃ |
21 Lyeth hee vnder the trees in the couert of the reede and fennes?
| תַּֽחַת־צֶאֱלִים יִשְׁכָּב בְּסֵתֶר קָנֶה וּבִצָּֽה׃ |
22 Can the trees couer him with their shadow? or can the willowes of the riuer compasse him about?
| יְסֻכֻּהוּ צֶאֱלִים צִֽלְלוֹ יְסֻבּוּהוּ עַרְבֵי־נָֽחַל׃ |
23 Behold, he spoyleth the riuer, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw vp Iorden into his mouth.
| הֵן יַעֲשֹׁק נָהָר לֹא יַחְפּוֹז יִבְטַח ׀ כִּֽי־יָגִיחַ יַרְדֵּן אֶל־פִּֽיהוּ׃ |
24 Hee taketh it with his eyes, and thrusteth his nose through whatsoeuer meeteth him.
| בְּעֵינָיו יִקָּחֶנּוּ בְּמוֹקְשִׁים יִנְקׇב־אָֽף׃ |
