< Job 40 >

1 And he answered Yahweh Job and he said.
2 ¿ Will he contend with [the] Almighty a faultfinder [one who] corrects God let him answer him.
Will he who is protesting give teaching to the Ruler of all? Let him who has arguments to put forward against God give an answer.
3 And he answered Job Yahweh and he said.
And Job said in answer to the Lord,
4 Here! I am insignificant what? will I respond to you hand my I put to mouth my.
Truly, I am of no value; what answer may I give to you? I will put my hand on my mouth.
5 One [time] I have spoken and not I will answer and two [times] and not I will repeat.
I have said once, and even twice, what was in my mind, but I will not do so again.
6 And he answered Yahweh Job (from - *Q(K)*) (a tempest *Q(k)*) and he said.
Then the Lord made answer to Job out of the storm-wind, and said,
7 Gird up please like a man loins your I will ask you and make known to me.
Get your strength together like a man of war: I will put questions to you, and you will give me the answers.
8 ¿ Even will you annul justice my will you condemn as guilty? me so that you may be justified.
Will you even make my right of no value? will you say that I am wrong in order to make clear that you are right?
9 And or? [does] an arm like God - [belong] to you? and with a voice like him will you thunder?
Have you an arm like God? have you a voice of thunder like his?
10 Deck yourself please majesty and dignity and glory and honor you will be clothed.
Put on the ornaments of your pride; be clothed with glory and power:
11 Scatter [the] furi of anger your and see every proud [person] and bring low him.
Let your wrath be overflowing; let your eyes see all the sons of pride, and make them low.
12 See every proud [person] humble him and tread down wicked [people] in place their.
Send destruction on all who are lifted up, pulling down the sinners from their places.
13 Hide them in the dust together faces their bind up in the hidden [place].
Let them be covered together in the dust; let their faces be dark in the secret place of the underworld.
14 And also I I will praise you that it will save you right [hand] your.
Then I will give praise to you, saying that your right hand is able to give you salvation.
15 There! please Behemoth which I made with you grass like ox it eats.
See now the Great Beast, whom I made, even as I made you; he takes grass for food, like the ox.
16 There! please strength its [is] in loins its and power its in [the] muscles of belly its.
His strength is in his body, and his force in the muscles of his stomach.
17 It stiffens tail its like a cedar [the] sinews of (thighs its *Q(K)*) they are intertwined.
His tail is curving like a cedar; the muscles of his legs are joined together.
18 Bones its [are] tubes of bronze limbs its [are] like a rod of iron.
His bones are pipes of brass, his legs are like rods of iron.
19 It [is] [the] first of [the] ways of God the [one who] made it let him bring near sword his.
He is the chief of the ways of God, made by him for his pleasure.
20 For [the] beast[s] of [the] mountains they carry to it and every animal of the field they play there.
He takes the produce of the mountains, where all the beasts of the field are at play.
21 Under thorny lotus plants it lies in a hiding place of reed[s] and swamp.
He takes his rest under the trees of the river, and in the pool, under the shade of the water-plants.
22 They cover it thorny lotus plants shade its they surround it [the] poplars of [the] wadi.
He is covered by the branches of the trees; the grasses of the stream are round him.
23 There! it is violent [the] river not it is alarmed it is confident - for it bursts forth [the] Jordan to mouth its.
Truly, if the river is overflowing, it gives him no cause for fear; he has no sense of danger, even if Jordan is rushing against his mouth.
24 By eyes its will anyone take? it with snares will anyone pierce? a nose.
Will anyone take him when he is on the watch, or put metal teeth through his nose?
