2
|
"Will the one who contends with the Almighty correct him? Let the person who accuses God give him an answer!" |
3
|
Then Job answered the LORD: |
4
|
"Indeed, I am completely unworthy— how could I reply to you? I put my hand over my mouth to silence myself. |
5
|
I have spoken once, but I cannot answer; twice, but I will say no more." |
6
|
Then the LORD answered Job from the whirlwind: |
7
|
"Get ready for a difficult task like a man. I will question you and you will inform me! |
8
|
Would you indeed annul my justice? Would you declare me guilty so that you might be right? |
9
|
Do you have an arm as powerful as God's, and can you thunder with a voice like his? |
10
|
Adorn yourself, then, with majesty and excellency, and clothe yourself with glory and honor! |
11
|
Scatter abroad the abundance of your anger. Look at every proud man and bring him low; |
12
|
Look at every proud man and abase him; crush the wicked on the spot! |
13
|
Hide them in the dust together, imprison them in the grave. |
14

17
|
It makes its tail stiff like a cedar, the sinews of its thighs are tightly wound. |
18
|
Its bones are tubes of bronze, its limbs like bars of iron. |
19
|
It ranks first among the works of God, the One who made it has furnished it with a sword. |
20
|
For the hills bring it food, where all the wild animals play. |
21
|
Under the lotus trees it lies, in the secrecy of the reeds and the marsh. |
22
|
The lotus trees conceal it in their shadow; the poplars by the stream conceal it. |
23
|
If the river rages, it is not disturbed, it is secure, though the Jordan should surge up to its mouth. |
24
|
Can anyone catch it by its eyes, or pierce its nose with a snare? |
