| 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? |
