< Job 40 >

1 And he answered Yahweh Job and he said.
And Yahweh responded to Job, and said: —
2 ¿ Will he contend with [the] Almighty a faultfinder [one who] corrects God let him answer him.
Shall a reprover contend, with the Almighty? He that disputeth with GOD, let him answer it!
3 And he answered Job Yahweh and he said.
Then Job responded to Yahweh, and said: —
4 Here! I am insignificant what? will I respond to you hand my I put to mouth my.
Lo! I am of no account, what shall I reply to thee? My hand, have I laid on my mouth:
5 One [time] I have spoken and not I will answer and two [times] and not I will repeat.
Once, have I spoken, but I will not proceed, yea twice, but I will not add.
6 And he answered Yahweh Job (from - *Q(K)*) (a tempest *Q(k)*) and he said.
So then Yahweh responded to Job, out of a storm, and said: —
7 Gird up please like a man loins your I will ask you and make known to me.
Gird, I pray thee—as a strong man—thy loins, I will ask thee, and inform thou me.
8 ¿ Even will you annul justice my will you condemn as guilty? me so that you may be justified.
Wilt thou even frustrate my justice? Wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest appear right?
9 And or? [does] an arm like God - [belong] to you? and with a voice like him will you thunder?
But if, an arm like GOD, thou hast, and, with a voice like his, thou canst thunder,
10 Deck yourself please majesty and dignity and glory and honor you will be clothed.
Deck thyself, I pray thee, with majesty and grandeur, Yea, with dignity and splendour, thou shalt clothe thyself;
11 Scatter [the] furi of anger your and see every proud [person] and bring low him.
Pour out thy transports of anger, and look on every one who is high, and lay him low;
12 See every proud [person] humble him and tread down wicked [people] in place their.
Look on every one who is high, and humble him, yea tread down the lawless, on the spot:
13 Hide them in the dust together faces their bind up in the hidden [place].
Hide them in the dust all together, Their faces, bind thou in darkness;
14 And also I I will praise you that it will save you right [hand] your.
And, even I myself, will praise thee, in that thine own right hand can bring thee salvation.
15 There! please Behemoth which I made with you grass like ox it eats.
Behold, I pray thee, the Hippopotamus, which I made with thee, Grass—like the ox, he eateth;
16 There! please strength its [is] in loins its and power its in [the] muscles of belly its.
Behold, I pray thee, his strength in his loins, and his force, in the muscles of his belly;
17 It stiffens tail its like a cedar [the] sinews of (thighs its *Q(K)*) they are intertwined.
He bendeth down his tail like a cedar, the sinews of his thighs, are twisted together;
18 Bones its [are] tubes of bronze limbs its [are] like a rod of iron.
His bones, are barrels of bronze, his frame, is like hammered bars 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 beginning of the ways of GOD, Let his maker, present him his sword:
20 For [the] beast[s] of [the] mountains they carry to it and every animal of the field they play there.
Surely the mountains bring, produce, to him, where, all the wild beasts of the field, do play;
21 Under thorny lotus plants it lies in a hiding place of reed[s] and swamp.
Under the lotus-trees, he lieth down, in a covert of reed and swamp;
22 They cover it thorny lotus plants shade its they surround it [the] poplars of [the] wadi.
The lotus-trees cover him with their shade, the willows of the torrent-bed compass him about;
23 There! it is violent [the] river not it is alarmed it is confident - for it bursts forth [the] Jordan to mouth its.
Lo! the river becometh insolent—he is not alarmed! He is confident, though a Jordan burst forth to his mouth:
24 By eyes its will anyone take? it with snares will anyone pierce? a nose.
Before his eyes, shall he be caught? With a hook, can one pierce his nose?
