1And the LORD said to Job:1Then the LORD answered Job:
2“Will the faultfinder contend with the Almighty? Let him who argues with God give an answer.”2"Will the one who contends with the Almighty correct him? Let the person who accuses God give him an answer!"
3Then Job answered the LORD:3Then Job answered the LORD:
4“Behold, I am insignificant. How can I reply to You? I place my hand over my mouth.4"Indeed, I am completely unworthy--how could I reply to you? I put my hand over my mouth to silence myself.
5I have spoken once, but I have no answer—twice, but I have nothing to add.”5I have spoken once, but I cannot answer; twice, but I will say no more."
6Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind and said:6Then the LORD answered Job from the whirlwind:
7“Now brace yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall inform Me.7"Get ready for a difficult task like a man. I will question you and you will inform me!
8Would you really annul My justice? Would you condemn Me to justify yourself?8Would you indeed annul my justice? Would you declare me guilty so that you might be right?
9Do you have an arm like God’s? Can you thunder with a voice like His?9Do you have an arm as powerful as God's, and can you thunder with a voice like his?
10Then adorn yourself with majesty and splendor, and clothe yourself with honor and glory.10Adorn yourself, then, with majesty and excellency, and clothe yourself with glory and honor!
11Unleash the fury of your wrath; look on every proud man and bring him low.11Scatter abroad the abundance of your anger. Look at every proud man and bring him low;
12Look on every proud man and humble him; trample the wicked where they stand.12Look at every proud man and abase him; crush the wicked on the spot!
13Bury them together in the dust; imprison them in the grave.13Hide them in the dust together, imprison them in the grave.
14Then I will confess to you that your own right hand can save you.14Then I myself will acknowledge to you that your own right hand can save you.
15Look at Behemoth, which I made along with you. He feeds on grass like an ox.15"Look now at Behemoth, which I made as I made you; it eats grass like the ox.
16See the strength of his loins and the power in the muscles of his belly.16Look at its strength in its loins, and its power in the muscles of its belly.
17His tail sways like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are tightly knit.17It makes its tail stiff like a cedar, the sinews of its thighs are tightly wound.
18His bones are tubes of bronze; his limbs are rods of iron.18Its bones are tubes of bronze, its limbs like bars of iron.
19He is the foremost of God’s works; only his Maker can draw the sword against him.19It ranks first among the works of God, the One who made it has furnished it with a sword.
20The hills yield him their produce, while all the beasts of the field play nearby.20For the hills bring it food, where all the wild animals play.
21He lies under the lotus plants, hidden among the reeds of the marsh.21Under the lotus trees it lies, in the secrecy of the reeds and the marsh.
22The lotus plants conceal him in their shade; the willows of the brook surround him.22The lotus trees conceal it in their shadow; the poplars by the stream conceal it.
23Though the river rages, Behemoth is unafraid; he remains secure, though the Jordan surges to his mouth.23If the river rages, it is not disturbed, it is secure, though the Jordan should surge up to its mouth.
24Can anyone capture him as he looks on, or pierce his nose with a snare?24Can anyone catch it by its eyes, or pierce its nose with a snare?
