Job. Chapter 40. And YHWH answers Job and says: “Is the striver with the Mighty instructed? The reprover of God, let him answer it.” And Job answers YHWH and says: “Behold, I have been vile, || What do I return to You? I have placed my hand on my mouth. I have spoken once, and I do not answer, || And twice, and I do not add.” And YHWH answers Job out of the whirlwind and says: “Now gird your loins as a man, || I ask you, and you cause Me to know. Do you also make My judgment void? Do you condemn Me, || That you may be righteous? And do you have an arm like God? And do you thunder with a voice like His? Now put on excellence and loftiness, || Indeed, put on splendor and beauty. Scatter abroad the wrath of your anger, || And see every proud one, and make him low. See every proud one—humble him, || And tread down the wicked in their place. Hide them in the dust together, || Bind their faces in secret. And even I praise you, || For your right hand gives salvation to you. Now behold, behemoth, || That I made with you: He eats grass as an ox. Now behold, his power is in his loins, || And his strength in the muscles of his belly. He bends his tail as a cedar, || The sinews of his thighs are wrapped together, His bones are tubes of bronze, || His bones are as a bar of iron. He is a beginning of the ways of God, || His Maker alone brings His sword near; For mountains bear food for him, || And all the beasts of the field play there. He lies down under shades, || In a secret place of reed and marsh. Shades cover him, with their shadow, || Willows of the brook cover him. Behold, a flood oppresses—he does not hurry, || He is confident though Jordan || Comes forth to his mouth. Does one take him by his eyes? || Does one pierce the nose with snares?”
