  • 1. And Jehovah doth answer Job, and saith: --
  • 2. Is the striver with the Mighty instructed? The reprover of God, let him answer it.
  • 3. And Job answereth Jehovah, and saith: --
  • 4. Lo, I have been vile, What do I return to Thee? My hand I have placed on my mouth.
  • 5. Once I have spoken, and I answer not, And twice, and I add not.
  • 6. And Jehovah answereth Job out of the whirlwind, and saith: --
  • 7. Gird, I pray thee, as a man, thy loins, I ask thee, and cause thou Me to know.
  • 8. Dost thou also make void My judgment? Dost thou condemn Me, That thou mayest be righteous?
  • 9. And an arm like God hast thou? And with a voice like Him dost thou thunder?
  • 10. Put on, I pray thee, excellency and loftiness, Yea, honour and beauty put on.
  • 11. Scatter abroad the wrath of thine anger, And see every proud one, and make him low.
  • 12. See every proud one -- humble him, And tread down the wicked in their place.
  • 13. Hide them in the dust together, Their faces bind in secret.
  • 14. And even I -- I do praise thee, For thy right hand giveth salvation to thee.
  • 15. Lo, I pray thee, Behemoth, that I made with thee: Grass as an ox he eateth.
  • 16. Lo, I pray thee, his power `is' in his loins, And his strength in the muscles of his belly.
  • 17. He doth bend his tail as a cedar, The sinews of his thighs are wrapped together,
  • 18. His bones `are' tubes of brass, His bones `are' as a bar of iron.
  • 19. He `is' a beginning of the ways of God, His Maker bringeth nigh his sword;
  • 20. For food do mountains bear for him, And all the beasts of the field play there.
  • 21. Under shades he lieth down, In a secret place of reed and mire.
  • 22. Cover him do shades, `with' their shadow, Cover him do willows of the brook.
  • 23. Lo, a flood oppresseth -- he doth not haste, He is confident though Jordan Doth come forth unto his mouth.
  • 24. Before his eyes doth `one' take him, With snares doth `one' pierce the nose?
