Job 40
Berean Standard Bible
Job Humbles Himself before the LORD
1And the LORDH3068 saidH6030 to JobH347H559:
2“Will the faultfinderH3250 contendH7378 withH5973 the AlmightyH7706?Let him who arguesH3198 with GodH433 give an answerH6030.”
3Then JobH347 answeredH6030 the LORDH3068H559:
4“BeholdH2005, I am insignificantH7043. HowH4100 can I reply to YouH7725?I placeH7760 my handH3027 overH3926 my mouthH6310.5I have spokenH1696 onceH259, but I have noH3808 answerH6030—twiceH8147, but I have nothingH3808 to addH3254.”
The LORD Challenges Job Again
6Then the LORDH3068 answeredH6030 JobH347 out ofH4480 the whirlwindH5591 and saidH559:
7“NowH4994 braceH247 yourselfH25041 like a manH1397;I will question youH7592, and you shall inform MeH3045.2
8Would you reallyH637 annulH6565 My justiceH4639?Would you condemn MeH7561 toH4616 justify yourselfH6663?9Do you have an armH2220 like God’sH410?Can you thunderH7481 with a voiceH6963 like HisH3644?10ThenH4994 adorn yourselfH5710 with majestyH1347 and splendorH1363,and clotheH3847 yourself with honorH1935 and gloryH1926.11UnleashH6327 the furyH5678 of your wrathH639;look onH7200 everyH3605 proud manH1343 and bring him lowH8213.12Look onH7200 everyH3605 proud manH1343 and humble himH3665;trampleH1915 the wickedH7563 where they standH8478.13Bury themH2934 togetherH3162H6440 in the dustH6083;imprison themH2280 in the graveH2934.314ThenH1571 IH589 will confess to youH3034thatH3588 your own right handH3225 can saveH3467 you.
15Look atH2009H4994 BehemothH930, whichH834 I madeH6213 along with youH5973.He feeds onH398 grassH2682 like an oxH1241.16SeeH2009H4994 the strengthH3581 of his loinsH4975and the powerH202 in the musclesH8306 of his bellyH990.17His tailH2180 swaysH2654 likeH3644 a cedarH730;the sinewsH1517 of his thighsH6344 are tightly knitH8276.18His bonesH6106 are tubesH650 of bronzeH5154;his limbsH1634 are rodsH4300 of ironH1270.19HeH1931 is the foremostH7225 of God’sH410 worksH1870;4only his MakerH6213 can draw the swordH2719 against himH5066.20The hillsH2022 yieldH5375 him their produceH944,while allH3605 the beastsH2416 of the fieldH7704 playH7832 nearbyH8033.21He liesH7901 underH8478 the lotus plantsH6628,5hiddenH5643 among the reedsH7070 of the marshH1207.22The lotus plantsH6628 conceal himH5526 in their shadeH6752;the willowsH61556 of the brookH5158 surround himH5437.23ThoughH2005 the riverH5104 ragesH6231, Behemoth is unafraidH3808H2648;he remains secureH982, thoughH3588 the JordanH3383 surgesH1518 toH413 his mouthH6310.24Can anyone capture himH3947 as he looks onH5869,or pierceH5344 his noseH639 with a snareH4170?
