యోబు~ గ్రంథము 40
And YHWH answers Job and says:
2 ౨ ఆక్షేపణలు చేయాలని చూసేవాడు సర్వశక్తుడైన దేవుణ్ణి సరిదిద్దాలని చూడవచ్చా? దేవునితో వాదించేవాడు ఇప్పుడు జవాబియ్యాలి.
“Is the striver with the Mighty instructed? The reprover of God, let him answer it.”
And Job answers YHWH and says:
“Behold, I have been vile, What do I return to You? I have placed my hand on my mouth.
I have spoken once, and I do not answer, And twice, and I do not add.”
And YHWH answers Job out of the whirlwind and says:
“Now gird your loins as a man, I ask you, and you cause Me to know.
Do you also make My judgment void? Do you condemn Me, That you may be righteous?
And do you have an arm like God? And do you thunder with a voice like His?
Now put on excellence and loftiness, Indeed, put on splendor and beauty.
Scatter abroad the wrath of your anger, And see every proud one, and make him low.
See every proud one—humble him, And tread down the wicked in their place.
Hide them in the dust together, Bind their faces in secret.
And even I praise you, For your right hand gives salvation to you.
15 ౧౫ నిన్ను చేసినట్టే నేను చేసిన మరొక జీవి నీటి ఏనుగును నువ్వు చూశావు గదా? ఎద్దులాగా అది గడ్డి మేస్తుంది.
Now behold, behemoth, That I made with you: He eats grass as an ox.
Now behold, his power [is] in his loins, And his strength in the muscles of his belly.
He bends his tail as a cedar, The sinews of his thighs are wrapped together,
His bones [are] tubes of bronze, His bones [are] as a bar of iron.
He [is] a beginning of the ways of God, His Maker [alone] brings His sword near;
For mountains bear food for him, And all the beasts of the field play there.
He lies down under shades, In a secret place of reed and marsh.
Shades cover him, [with] their shadow, Willows of the brook cover him.
23 ౨౩ నదీప్రవాహం పొంగి పొర్లినా అది భయపడదు. యొర్దాను లాంటి ప్రవాహం పొంగి దాని ముట్టె దాకా వచ్చినా అది బెదరదు.
Behold, a flood oppresses—he does not hurry, He is confident though Jordan Comes forth to his mouth.
Does [one] take him by his eyes? Does [one] pierce the nose with snares?”
