Job
40 And Jehovah proceeded to answer Job and say:
3 And Job went on to answer Jehovah and say:
4 “Look! I have become of little account.+
What shall I reply to you?
My hand I have put over my mouth.+
5 Once have I spoken, and I will not answer;
And twice, and I will add nothing.”
6 And Jehovah went on to answer Job out of the windstorm+ and say:
8 Really, will you invalidate my justice?
Will you pronounce me wicked in order that you may be in the right?*+
9 Or do you have an arm like that of the [true] God,*+
And with a voice like his can you make it thunder?+
13 Hide them together in the dust,+
Bind their very faces in the hidden place,
14 And I, even I, shall commend you,
Because your right hand can save you.
15 Here, now, is Be·heʹmoth* that I have made as well as you.
Green grass it eats+ just as a bull does.
17 It bends down its tail like a cedar;
The sinews of its thighs are interwoven.
18 Its bones are tubes of copper;
Its strong bones are like wrought-iron rods.
20 For the mountains themselves bear their produce for it,+
And all the wild beasts of the field themselves play there.*
21 Under the thorny lotus trees it lies down,
22 The thorny lotus trees keep it blocked off with their shadow;
The poplars of the torrent valley surround it.
