Textus Receptus Bibles
Jay P. Green's Literal Translation 1993
| 40:1 | And Jehovah answered and said: |
| 40:2 | Shall a reprover contend with the Almighty? He who reproves God, let him answer it. |
| 40:3 | Then answered Jehovah and said: |
| 40:4 | Behold, I am vile! What shall I answer You? I will put my hand to my mouth. |
| 40:5 | Once I have spoken, but I will not answer; yea, twice, but I will go no further. |
| 40:6 | And Jehovah answered out of the tempest and said: |
| 40:7 | Now gird up your loins like a man, and I will question you; and you teach Me. |
| 40:8 | Will you also set aside My judgment; will you condemn Me so that you may be justified? |
| 40:9 | And have you an arm like God; or can you thunder with a voice like His? |
| 40:10 | Adorn yourself with majesty now, and with grandeur, and clothe yourself with glory and honor; |
| 40:11 | pour forth the outbursts of your anger; yea, look on everyone who is proud, and bring him down low; |
| 40:12 | look on everyone who is proud, and humble him, and trample the wicked in their place; |
| 40:13 | hide them in the dust together; bind their faces in darkness. |
| 40:14 | Then I also will confess to you that your right hand can save you. |
| 40:15 | Now behold Behemoth, which I made along with you; he eats grass like an ox; |
| 40:16 | see, now, his strength is in his loins, and his force in the muscles of his belly; |
| 40:17 | he hangs his tail like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are knit together; |
| 40:18 | his bones are like tubes of bronze; his bones like bars of iron; |
| 40:19 | he is the first in the ways of God; his Maker brings near his sword. |
| 40:20 | For the mountains yield food for him, and all the beasts of the field play there. |
| 40:21 | He lies under the lotus, in the hiding-place of the reed and the marsh; |
| 40:22 | the lotus trees cover him in its shadow; the willows of the torrent circle him. |
| 40:23 | Behold, he is confident, even if Jordan burst forth against his mouth. |
| 40:24 | Shall any take him before his eyes, or pierce his nose with snares? |
