27 Job 40:1

27 Job 40:1-24 ¹Moreover the LORD answered Job, and said, ²Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproveth God, let him answer it.

³Then Job answered the LORD, and said, ⁴Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay mine hand upon my mouth. ⁵Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea, twice; but I will proceed no further.

⁶Then answered the LORD unto Job out of the whirlwind, and said, ⁷Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me. ⁸Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous? ⁹Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice like him? ¹⁰Deck thyself now with majesty and excellency; and array thyself with glory and beauty. ¹¹Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and behold every one that is proud, and abase him. ¹²Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place. ¹³Hide them in the dust together; and bind their faces in secret. ¹⁴Then will I also confess unto thee that thine own right hand can save thee.

¹⁵Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox. ¹⁶Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly. ¹⁷He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together. ¹⁸His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron. ¹⁹He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him. ²⁰Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play. ²¹He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens. ²²The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about. ²³Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth. ²⁴He taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth through snares.(KJV)

27 Job 40:1-24 ¹Moreover the LORD answered Job, and said, ²Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproveth God, let him answer it.

³Then Job answered the LORD, and said, ⁴Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay mine hand upon my mouth. ⁵1 time have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea, 2 times; but I will proceed no further.

⁶Then answered the LORD unto Job out of the whirlwind, and said, ⁷Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me. ⁸Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous? ⁹Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice like him? ¹⁰Deck thyself now with majesty and excellency; and array thyself with glory and beauty. ¹¹Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and behold every 1 that is proud, and abase him. ¹²Look on every 1 that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place. ¹³Hide them in the dust together; and bind their faces in secret. ¹⁴Then will I also confess unto thee that thine own right hand can save thee.

¹⁵Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox. ¹⁶Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly. ¹⁷He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together. ¹⁸His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron. ¹⁹He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him. ²⁰Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play. ²¹He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens. ²²The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about. ²³Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth. ²⁴He taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth through snares.(KJV/NC)

27 Job 40:1-24 ¹Moreover Jehovah answered Job, and said,

²Shall he that cavilleth contend with the Almighty?

He that argueth with God, let him answer it.

³Then Job answered Jehovah, and said,

⁴Behold, I am of small account; What shall I answer thee?

I lay my hand upon my mouth.

⁵Once have I spoken, and I will not answer;

Yea, twice, but I will proceed no further.

⁶Then Jehovah answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,

⁷Gird up thy loins now like a man:

I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.

⁸Wilt thou even annul my judgment?

Wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be justified?

⁹Or hast thou an arm like God?

And canst thou thunder with a voice like him?

¹⁰Deck thyself now with excellency and dignity;

And array thyself with honor and majesty.

¹¹Pour forth the overflowings of thine anger;

And look upon every one that is proud, and abase him.

¹²Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low;

And tread down the wicked where they stand.

¹³Hide them in the dust together;

Bind their faces in the hidden place.

¹⁴Then will I also confess of thee

That thine own right hand can save thee.

¹⁵Behold now, behemoth, which I made as well as thee;

He eateth grass as an ox.

¹⁶Lo now, his strength is in his loins,

And his force is in the muscles of his belly.

¹⁷He moveth his tail like a cedar:

The sinews of his thighs are knit together.

¹⁸His bones are as tubes of brass;

His limbs are like bars of iron.

¹⁹He is the chief of the ways of God:

He only that made him giveth him his sword.

²⁰Surely the mountains bring him forth food,

Where all the beasts of the field do play.

²¹He lieth under the lotus-trees,

In the covert of the reed, and the fen.

²²The lotus-trees cover him with their shade;

The willows of the brook compass him about.

²³Behold, if a river overflow, he trembleth not;

He is confident, though a Jordan swell even to his mouth.

²⁴Shall any take him when he is on the watch,(ASV)

27 Job 40:1-24 ¹MOREOVER the LORD answered Job, and said, ²Many are the counsels of God; he who reproves God must answer for it. ³Then Job answered the LORD, and said, ⁴Behold, I am unworthy; what shall I answer thee? I will lay my hand upon my mouth. ⁵Once I have spoken; but I will not answer; yea, twice, but I will proceed no further.

⁶¶ Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said, ⁷Gird up your loins now like a man; I will question you, and you shall declare to me. ⁸Will you disannul my judgment? Will you even condemn me, that you may be justified? ⁹Have you an arm like God? Or can you thunder with a voice like him? ¹⁰Deck yourself now with majesty and excellency; and array yourself with glory and beauty. ¹¹Cast away the rage of your wrath; and look upon everyone that is proud, and abase him; ¹²And cast the sinners into their place. ¹³Bury them in the earth together; cover their faces with fine dust. ¹⁴Then will I also give you credit when your own right hand has saved you.

¹⁵¶ Behold now the hippopotamus which I made for you; he eats grass like an ox. ¹⁶Lo, his strength is in his loins, and his tail stands erect like a cedar tree. ¹⁷The sinews of his thighs bulge out. ¹⁸His bones are strong as pieces of brass; yea, they are like bars of iron. ¹⁹He is the chief among God's creations; for he made him powerful to fight. ²⁰He roams about the mountains, and all the wild beasts of the field lie down under his protection. ²¹He lurks in the covert of reeds, he couches as a lion. ²²The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook encircle him. ²³Behold, if he plunges into the river, he is not afraid; he is confident, though the Jordan reaches to his mouth. ²⁴Can one take him with a hook, or catch him with a net? Can one snare him in a trap, or can one bind his tongue with a rope? (LAM)

27 Job 40:1-24 ¹And the LORD said to Job: ²"Shall a faultfinder contend with the Almighty? He who argues with God, let him answer it." ³Then Job answered the LORD: ⁴"Behold, I am of small account; what shall I answer thee? I lay my hand on my mouth. ⁵I have spoken once, and I will not answer; twice, but I will proceed no further." ⁶Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind: ⁷"Gird up your loins like a man; I will question you, and you declare to me. ⁸Will you even put me in the wrong? Will you condemn me that you may be justified? ⁹Have you an arm like God, and can you thunder with a voice like his? ¹⁰"Deck yourself with majesty and dignity; clothe yourself with glory and splendor. ¹¹Pour forth the overflowings of your anger, and look on every one that is proud, and abase him. ¹²Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked where they stand. ¹³Hide them all in the dust together; bind their faces in the world below. ¹⁴Then will I also acknowledge to you, that your own right hand can give you victory. ¹⁵"Behold, Be'hemoth, which I made as I made you; he eats grass like an ox. ¹⁶Behold, his strength in his loins, and his power in the muscles of his belly. ¹⁷He makes his tail stiff like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are knit together. ¹⁸His bones are tubes of bronze, his limbs like bars of iron. ¹⁹"He is the first of the works of God; let him who made him bring near his sword! ²⁰For the mountains yield food for him where all the wild beasts play. ²¹Under the lotus plants he lies, in the covert of the reeds and in the marsh. ²²For his shade the lotus trees cover him; the willows of the brook surround him. ²³Behold, if the river is turbulent he is not frightened; he is confident though Jordan rushes against his mouth. ²⁴Can one take him with hooks, or pierce his nose with a snare? (RSV)

27 Job 40:1-24 ¹The LORD said to Job: ²"Will the one who contends with the Almighty correct him? Let him who accuses God answer him!"

³Then Job answered the LORD: ⁴"I am unworthy -- how can I reply to you? I put my hand over my mouth. ⁵I spoke once, but I have no answer -- twice, but I will say no more."

⁶Then the LORD spoke to Job out of the storm: ⁷"Brace yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall answer me. ⁸"Would you discredit my justice? Would you condemn me to justify yourself? ⁹Do you have an arm like God's, and can your voice thunder like his? ¹⁰Then adorn yourself with glory and splendor, and clothe yourself in honor and majesty. ¹¹Unleash the fury of your wrath, look at every proud man and bring him low, ¹²look at every proud man and humble him, crush the wicked where they stand. ¹³Bury them all in the dust together; shroud their faces in the grave. ¹⁴Then I myself will admit to you that your own right hand can save you. ¹⁵"Look at the behemoth, which I made along with you and which feeds on grass like an ox. ¹⁶What strength he has in his loins, what power in the muscles of his belly! ¹⁷His tail sways like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are close-knit. ¹⁸His bones are tubes of bronze, his limbs like rods of iron. ¹⁹He ranks first among the works of God, yet his Maker can approach him with his sword. ²⁰The hills bring him their produce, and all the wild animals play nearby. ²¹Under the lotus plants he lies, hidden among the reeds in the marsh. ²²The lotuses conceal him in their shadow; the poplars by the stream surround him. ²³When the river rages, he is not alarmed; he is secure, though the Jordan should surge against his mouth. ²⁴Can anyone capture him by the eyes, or trap him and pierce his nose?(NIV)

Can you thunder with a voice like him?

Array yourself with honor and majesty.

Look on everyone who is proud, and bring him low.

Crush the wicked in their place.
