## Job Places His Hand over His Mouth
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 1
|
||
|
|
Then Yahweh answered Job and said,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 2
|
||
|
|
"Will the faultfinder contend with the Almighty? Let him who reproves God answer it."
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 3
|
||
|
|
Then Job answered Yahweh and said,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 4
|
||
|
|
"Behold, I am insignificant; what can I respond to You? I place my hand over my mouth.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 5
|
||
|
|
Once I have spoken, and I will not answer; Even twice, and I will add nothing more."
|

|
## Yahweh Will Ask Job
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 6
|
||
|
|
Then Yahweh answered Job out of the whirlwind and said,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 7
|
||
|
|
"Now gird up your loins like a man; I will ask you, and you make Me know.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 8
|
||
|
|
Will you really annul My judgment? Will you condemn Me that you may be justified?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 9
|
||
|
|
Or do you have an arm like God, And can you thunder with a voice like His?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 10
|
||
|
|
"Adorn yourself with exaltation and loftiness, And clothe yourself with splendor and majesty.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 11
|
||
|
|
Pour out the overflowings of your anger, And look on everyone who is proud, and make him low.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 12
|
||
|
|
Look on everyone who is proud, _and_ humble him, And tread down the wicked in their place.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 13
|
||
|
|
Hide them in the dust together; Bind their faces in the hidden _place_.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 14
|
||
|
|
Then I will also praise you, That your own right hand can save you.
|
||
|
|
|

|
## Behold the Behemoth
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 15
|
||
|
|
"Behold now, Behemoth, which I made along with you; It eats grass like an ox.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 16
|
||
|
|
Behold now, its power in its loins And its vigor in the muscles of its belly.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 17
|
||
|
|
It hangs its tail like a cedar; The sinews of its thighs are knit together.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 18
|
||
|
|
Its bones are tubes of bronze; Its limbs are like bars of iron.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 19
|
||
|
|
"It is the first of the ways of God; Let its Maker bring near its sword.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 20
|
||
|
|
Surely the mountains bring it food, And all the beasts of the field play there.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 21
|
||
|
|
Under the lotus plants it lies down, In the hidden place of the reeds and the marsh.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 22
|
||
|
|
The lotus plants cover it with shade; The willows of the brook surround it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 23
|
||
|
|
If a river oppresses, it is not alarmed; It is secure, though the Jordan bursts forth to its mouth.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 24
|
||
|
|
Can anyone capture it before its eyes, With snares can anyone pierce _its_ nose?
|
