Then Yahweh said to Job,
2 ¿ Will he contend with [the] Almighty a faultfinder [one who] corrects God let him answer him.
“Do you still want to argue with me, the Almighty One? Since you criticize me, (you should be able to answer my questions!/why are you not able to answer my questions?) [RHQ]”
3 And he answered Job Yahweh and he said.
Then Job replied to Yahweh,
4 Here! I am insignificant what? will I respond to you hand my I put to mouth my.
“[Now I realize that] I am completely worthless. So (how could I answer [those questions]?/I could not possibly answer [those questions]!) [RHQ] I will put my hand over my mouth [and not say anything].
5 One [time] I have spoken and not I will answer and two [times] and not I will repeat.
I have already said more than I should have said, so now I will say nothing more.”
6 And he answered Yahweh Job (from - *Q(K)*) (a tempest *Q(k)*) and he said.
Then Yahweh [again] spoke to Job from inside the great windstorm. He said,

“I want to ask you some [more] questions. So as men prepare themselves for a difficult task [MET], prepare yourself again to answer some [more] questions.
8 ¿ Even will you annul justice my will you condemn as guilty? me so that you may be justified.
“Are you going to accuse me and say that I am unjust? Are you going to say that what I have done is wrong, in order that you can say that what you have done is right?
9 And or? [does] an arm like God - [belong] to you? and with a voice like him will you thunder?
Are you as powerful [MTY] as I am? Can your voice sound [as loud] as thunder, as mine can?

15 There! please Behemoth which I made with you grass like ox it eats.
“Think [also] about the huge animals that live near the water. I made you, and I made them also. They eat grass, like oxen do.

19 It [is] [the] first of [the] ways of God the [one who] made it let him bring near sword his.
They are among the strongest of the animals that I made, and I, who created them, am the only one who can kill them.
20 For [the] beast[s] of [the] mountains they carry to it and every animal of the field they play there.
