A. |Jehovah answering Job out of the whirlwind (cont'd) — 40:1-14
Job|40:1|-|And Jehovah answered Job and said,
Job|40:2|-|Shall one who finds fault |a|contend with the Almighty?Let him who |b|argues with God answer it.Job|40:3|-|Then Job answered Jehovah and said,
Job|40:4|-|Indeed, I am worthless. What shall I reply to You?I lay my hand over my |a|mouth.Job|40:5|-|I have spoken once, and I will not answer;And twice, and I will proceed no further.Job|40:6|-|And Jehovah answered Job out of the |a|whirlwind and said,
Job|40:7|-||a|Gird up now your loins like a mighty man;For I will ask of you, and you shall inform Me.Job|40:8|-|Will you indeed annul My judgment?|a|Will you condemn Me so that you may be justified?Job|40:9|-|Or do you have an arm like God’s,And can you thunder with a voice like His?Job|40:10|-||a|Deck yourself now with majesty and excellency,And array yourself with honor and splendor.Job|40:11|-|Pour forth the overflowings of your anger,And look upon everyone who is proud, and abase him.Job|40:12|-|Look upon everyone who is |a|proud; bring him down;And tread down the wicked where they stand.Job|40:13|-|Hide them in the dust together;Bind their faces in the hidden place.Job|40:14|-|Then even I will praise you,That your own right hand can save you.
(B. |God appearing to Job with the divine unveilings—cont'd)
3. |Again concerning the animals — 40:15-41:34
Job|40:15|-|Behold now the |1|behemoth, which I |a|made as well as you:He eats grass like the ox.Job|40:16|-|Behold now, his strength is in his loins,And his power is in the muscles of his belly.Job|40:17|-|He bends his tail like a cedar;The sinews of his thighs knit together.Job|40:18|-|His bones are like bronze tubes;His limbs, like iron bars.Job|40:19|-|He is the first of God’s ways;Only his Maker can approach him with His sword.Job|40:20|-|For the mountains yield food for him,Where every animal of the field plays.Job|40:21|-|Under the lotus plants he lies down,In the covert of the reed and the marsh.Job|40:22|-|The lotus plants cover him with their shade;The willows of the brook surround him.Job|40:23|-|Indeed, if a river overflows, he does not tremble;He is confident, though the Jordan rushes against his mouth.Job|40:24|-|Will anyone catch him while he is watching,Or pierce his nose with a snare?
