Let him who has arguments to put forward against God give an answer. +And Job said in answer to the Lord, +Truly, I am of no value; what answer may I give to you? I will put my hand on my mouth. +I have said once, and even twice, what was in my mind, but I will not do so again. +Then the Lord made answer to Job out of the storm-wind, and said, +Get your strength together like a man of war: I will put questions to you, and you will give me the answers. +Will you even make my right of no value? will you say that I am wrong in order to make clear that you are right? +Have you an arm like God? have you a voice of thunder like his? +Put on the ornaments of your pride; be clothed with glory and power: +Let your wrath be overflowing; let your eyes see all the sons of pride, and make them low. +Send destruction on all who are lifted up, pulling down the sinners from their places. +Let them be covered together in the dust; let their faces be dark in the secret place of the underworld. +Then I will give praise to you, saying that your right hand is able to give you salvation. +See now the Great Beast, whom I made, even as I made you; he takes grass for food, like the ox. +His strength is in his body, and his force in the muscles of his stomach. +His tail is curving like a cedar; the muscles of his legs are joined together. +His bones are pipes of brass, his legs are like rods of iron. +He is the chief of the ways of God, made by him for his pleasure. +He takes the produce of the mountains, where all the beasts of the field are at play. +He takes his rest under the trees of the river, and in the pool, under the shade of the water-plants. +He is covered by the branches of the trees; the grasses of the stream are round him. +Truly, if the river is overflowing, it gives him no cause for fear; he has no sense of danger, even if Jordan is rushing against his mouth. +Will anyone take him when he is on the watch, or put metal teeth through his nose? |
