1Then Yahweh said to Job,
2“Do you still want to argue with me, the Almighty One?
3Then Job replied to Yahweh,
4“Now I realize that I am completely worthless. So ◄how could I answer those questions?/I could not possibly answer those questions!► [RHQ]
5I have already said more than I should have said,
6Then Yahweh again spoke to Job from inside the great windstorm. He said,
7“I want to ask you some more questions.
8“Are you going to accuse me and say that I am unjust?
9Are you as powerful [MTY] as I am?
10If you can do that, put on the robes
11Show that you are very angry;
12Humble those proud people just by looking at them angrily
13Bury them in the ground!
14After you do that, I will congratulate/praise you
15“Think also about the huge animals that live near the water.
16Their legs/thighs are very strong,
17Their tails are stiff (OR, bend down) like the branches of a cedar tree.
18Their thigh bones are like tubes made of bronze,
19They are among the strongest of the animals that I made,
20On the hills grows food [PRS] for them to eat
21They lie down in the water under the lotus plants;
22Those huge animals find shade under the lotus plants,
23They are not disturbed by raging/swiftly-flowing rivers;
24No one can [RHQ] catch them by blinding their eyes
