1And YHWH answers Job and says:
2“Is the striver with the Mighty instructed? The reprover of God, let him answer it.”
3And Job answers YHWH and says:
4“Behold, I have been vile, || What do I return to You? I have placed my hand on my mouth.
5I have spoken once, and I do not answer, || And twice, and I do not add.”
6And YHWH answers Job out of the whirlwind and says:
7“Now gird your loins as a man, || I ask you, and you cause Me to know.
8Do you also make My judgment void? Do you condemn Me, || That you may be righteous?
9And do you have an arm like God? And do you thunder with a voice like His?
10Now put on excellence and loftiness, || Indeed, put on splendor and beauty.
11Scatter abroad the wrath of your anger, || And see every proud one, and make him low.
12See every proud one—humble him, || And tread down the wicked in their place.
13Hide them in the dust together, || Bind their faces in secret.
14And even I praise you, || For your right hand gives salvation to you.
15Now behold, behemoth, || That I made with you: He eats grass as an ox.
16Now behold, his power [is] in his loins, || And his strength in the muscles of his belly.
17He bends his tail as a cedar, || The sinews of his thighs are wrapped together,
18His bones [are] tubes of bronze, || His bones [are] as a bar of iron.
19He [is] a beginning of the ways of God, || His Maker [alone] brings His sword near;
20For mountains bear food for him, || And all the beasts of the field play there.
21He lies down under shades, || In a secret place of reed and marsh.
22Shades cover him, [with] their shadow, || Willows of the brook cover him.
23Behold, a flood oppresses—he does not hurry, || He is confident though Jordan || Comes forth to his mouth.
24Does [one] take him by his eyes? || Does [one] pierce the nose with snares?”
