Job 40:1 (NET) New English Translation

1 Then the LORD answered Job:
2 "Will the one who contends with the Almighty correct him? Let the person who accuses God give him an answer!"
3 Then Job answered the LORD:
4 "Indeed, I am completely unworthy� how could I reply to you? I put my hand over my mouth to silence myself.
5 I have spoken once, but I cannot answer; twice, but I will say no more."
6 Then the LORD answered Job from the whirlwind:
7 "Get ready for a difficult task like a man. I will question you and you will inform me!
8 Would you indeed annul my justice? Would you declare me guilty so that you might be right?
9 Do you have an arm as powerful as God's, and can you thunder with a voice like his?
10 Adorn yourself, then, with majesty and excellency, and clothe yourself with glory and honor!
11 Scatter abroad the abundance of your anger. Look at every proud man and bring him low;
12 Look at every proud man and abase him; crush the wicked on the spot!
13 Hide them in the dust together, imprison them in the grave.
14 Then I myself will acknowledge to you that your own right hand can save you.
15 "Look now at Behemoth, which I made as I made you; it eats grass like the ox.
16 Look at its strength in its loins, and its power in the muscles of its belly.
17 It makes its tail stiff like a cedar, the sinews of its thighs are tightly wound.
18 Its bones are tubes of bronze, its limbs like bars of iron.
19 It ranks first among the works of God, the One who made it has furnished it with a sword.
20 For the hills bring it food, where all the wild animals play.
21 Under the lotus trees it lies, in the secrecy of the reeds and the marsh.
22 The lotus trees conceal it in their shadow; the poplars by the stream conceal it.
23 If the river rages, it is not disturbed, it is secure, though the Jordan should surge up to its mouth.
24 Can anyone catch it by its eyes, or pierce its nose with a snare?
1 Moreover the LORD H3068 answered H6030 H853 Job, H347 and said, H559
2 Shall he that contendeth H7378 with H5973 the Almighty H7706 instruct H3250 him ? he that reproveth H3198 God, H433 let him answer H6030 it.
3 Then Job H347 answered H6030 H853 the LORD, H3068 and said, H559
4 Behold H2005 , I am vile; H7043 what H4100 shall I answer H7725 thee? I will lay H7760 mine hand H3027 upon H3926 my mouth. H6310
5 Once H259 have I spoken; H1696 but I will not H3808 answer: H6030 yea, twice; H8147 but I will proceed no further H3254 H3808 .
6 Then answered H6030 the LORD H3068 unto H853 Job H347 out of H4480 the whirlwind, H5591 and said, H559
7 Gird up H247 thy loins H2504 now H4994 like a man: H1397 I will demand H7592 of thee , and declare H3045 thou unto me.
8 Wilt thou also H637 disannul H6565 my judgment H4941 ? wilt thou condemn H7561 me, that H4616 thou mayest be righteous H6663 ?
9 Hast thou an arm H2220 like God H410 ? or canst thou thunder H7481 with a voice H6963 like him H3644 ?
10 Deck H5710 thyself now H4994 with majesty H1347 and excellency; H1363 and array H3847 thyself with glory H1935 and beauty. H1926
11 Cast abroad H6327 the rage H5678 of thy wrath: H639 and behold H7200 every one H3605 that is proud, H1343 and abase H8213 him.
12 Look on H7200 every one H3605 that is proud, H1343 and bring him low; H3665 and tread down H1915 the wicked H7563 in their place. H8478
13 Hide H2934 them in the dust H6083 together; H3162 and bind H2280 their faces H6440 in secret. H2934
14 Then will I H589 also H1571 confess H3034 unto thee that H3588 thine own right hand H3225 can save H3467 thee.
15 Behold H2009 now H4994 behemoth, H930 which H834 I made H6213 with H5973 thee ; he eateth H398 grass H2682 as an ox. H1241
16 Lo H2009 now, H4994 his strength H3581 is in his loins, H4975 and his force H202 is in the navel H8306 of his belly. H990
17 He moveth H2654 his tail H2180 like H3644 a cedar: H730 the sinews H1517 of his stones H6344 are wrapped together. H8276
18 His bones H6106 are as strong pieces H650 of brass; H5154 his bones H1634 are like bars H4300 of iron. H1270
19 He H1931 is the chief H7225 of the ways H1870 of God: H410 he that made H6213 him can make his sword H2719 to approach H5066 unto him .
20 Surely H3588 the mountains H2022 bring him forth H5375 food, H944 where H8033 all H3605 the beasts H2416 of the field H7704 play. H7832
21 He lieth H7901 under H8478 the shady trees, H6628 in the covert H5643 of the reed, H7070 and fens. H1207
22 The shady trees H6628 cover H5526 him with their shadow; H6752 the willows H6155 of the brook H5158 compass him about. H5437
23 Behold H2005 , he drinketh up H6231 a river, H5104 and hasteth H2648 not: H3808 he trusteth H982 that H3588 he can draw up H1518 Jordan H3383 into H413 his mouth. H6310
24 He taketh H3947 it with his eyes: H5869 his nose H639 pierceth H5344 through snares. H4170
