Then the LORDH3068 answeredH6030 JobH347 out of the whirlwindH5591, and saidH559,
SurelyH199 I would speakH1696 to the AlmightyH7706, and I desireH2654 to reasonH3198 with GodH410.
ThoughH2005 he slayH6991 me, yet will I trustH3176 in him: but I will maintainH3198 mine own waysH1870 beforeH6440 him. {maintain: Heb. prove, or, argue}
I am not worthy of the leastH6994 of all the merciesH2617, and of all the truthH571, which thou hast shewedH6213 unto thy servantH5650; for with my staffH4731 I passed overH5674 this JordanH3383; and now I am become twoH8147 bandsH4264. {I am not…: Heb. I am less than all}
Then the LORDH3068 answeredH6030 JobH347 out of the whirlwindH5591, and saidH559,
Who is this that darkenethH2821 counselH6098 by wordsH4405 without knowledgeH1847?
Gird upH247 now thy loinsH2504 like a manH1397; for I will demandH7592 of thee, and answerH3045 thou me. {answer…: Heb. make me know}
WhereH375 wast thou when I laid the foundationsH3245 of the earthH776? declareH5046, if thou hastH3045 understandingH998. {hast…: Heb. knowest understanding}
Who hath laidH7760 the measuresH4461 thereof, if thou knowestH3045? or who hath stretchedH5186 the lineH6957 upon it?
Whereupon are the foundationsH134 thereof fastenedH2883? or who laidH3384 the cornerH6438 stoneH68 thereof; {foundations: Heb. sockets} {fastened: Heb. made to sink?}
When the morningH1242 starsH3556 sangH7442 togetherH3162, and all the sonsH1121 of GodH430 shoutedH7321 for joy?
Or who shut upH5526 the seaH3220 with doorsH1817, when it brake forthH1518, as if it had issued outH3318 of the wombH7358?
When I madeH7760 the cloudH6051 the garmentH3830 thereof, and thick darknessH6205 a swaddlingbandH2854 for it,
And brake upH7665 for it my decreedH2706 place, and setH7760 barsH1280 and doorsH1817, {brake…: or, established my decree upon it}
And saidH559, HithertoH5704+H6311 shalt thou comeH935, but no furtherH3254: and here shall thy proudH1347 wavesH1530 be stayedH7896? {thy…: Heb. the pride of thy waves}
Hast thou commandedH6680 the morningH1242 since thy daysH3117; and caused the dayspringH7837 to knowH3045 his placeH4725;
That it might take holdH270 of the endsH3671 of the earthH776, that the wickedH7563 might be shaken outH5287 of it? {ends: Heb. wings}
It is turnedH2015 as clayH2563 to the sealH2368; and they standH3320 as a garmentH3830.
And from the wickedH7563 their lightH216 is withholdenH4513, and the highH7311 armH2220 shall be brokenH7665.
Hast thou enteredH935 into the springsH5033 of the seaH3220? or hast thou walkedH1980 in the searchH2714 of the depthH8415?
Have the gatesH8179 of deathH4194 been openedH1540 unto thee? or hast thou seenH7200 the doorsH8179 of the shadow of deathH6757?
Hast thou perceivedH995 the breadthH7338 of the earthH776? declareH5046 if thou knowestH3045 it all.
Where is the wayH1870 where lightH216 dwellethH7931? and as for darknessH2822, where is the placeH4725 thereof,
That thou shouldest takeH3947 it to the boundH1366 thereof, and that thou shouldest knowH995 the pathsH5410 to the houseH1004 thereof? {to the bound: or, at, etc}
KnowestH3045 thou it, because thou wast then bornH3205? or because the numberH4557 of thy daysH3117 is greatH7227?
Hast thou enteredH935 into the treasuresH214 of the snowH7950? or hast thou seenH7200 the treasuresH214 of the hailH1259,
Which I have reservedH2820 against the timeH6256 of troubleH6862, against the dayH3117 of battleH7128 and warH4421?
By whatH335 wayH1870 is the lightH216 partedH2505, which scatterethH6327 the east windH6921 upon the earthH776?
Who hath dividedH6385 a watercourseH8585 for the overflowing of watersH7858, or a wayH1870 for the lightningH2385 of thunderH6963;
To cause it to rainH4305 on the earthH776, where no manH376 is; on the wildernessH4057, wherein there is no manH120;
To satisfyH7646 the desolateH7722 and wasteH4875 ground; and to cause the budH4161 of the tender herbH1877 to spring forthH6779?
HathH3426 the rainH4306 a fatherH1? or who hath begottenH3205 the dropsH96 of dewH2919?
Out of whose wombH990 cameH3318 the iceH7140? and the hoary frostH3713 of heavenH8064, who hath genderedH3205 it?
The watersH4325 are hidH2244 as with a stoneH68, and the faceH6440 of the deepH8415 is frozenH3920. {is…: Heb. is taken}
Canst thou bindH7194 the sweet influencesH4575 of PleiadesH3598, or looseH6605 the bandsH4189 of OrionH3685? {Pleiades: or, the seven stars: Heb. Cimah} {Orion: Heb. Cesil?}
Canst thou bring forthH3318 MazzarothH4216 in his seasonH6256? or canst thou guideH5148 ArcturusH5906 with his sonsH1121? {Mazzaroth: or, the twelve signs} {guide: Heb. guide them}
KnowestH3045 thou the ordinancesH2708 of heavenH8064? canst thou setH7760 the dominionH4896 thereof in the earthH776?
Canst thou lift upH7311 thy voiceH6963 to the cloudsH5645, that abundanceH8229 of watersH4325 may coverH3680 thee?
Canst thou sendH7971 lightningsH1300, that they may goH3212, and sayH559 unto thee, Here we are? {Here…: Heb. Behold us?}
Who hath putH7896 wisdomH2451 in the inward partsH2910? or who hath givenH5414 understandingH998 to the heartH7907?
Who can numberH5608 the cloudsH7834 in wisdomH2451? or who can stayH7901 the bottlesH5035 of heavenH8064, {stay: Heb. cause to lie down}
When the dustH6083 growethH3332 into hardnessH4165, and the clodsH7263 cleave fast togetherH1692? {groweth…: or, is turned into mire: Heb. is poured}
Wilt thou huntH6679 the preyH2964 for the lionH3833? or fillH4390 the appetiteH2416 of the young lionsH3715, {the appetite: Heb. the life}
When they couchH7817 in their densH4585, and abideH3427 in the covertH5521 toH3926 lie in waitH695?
Who providethH3559 for the ravenH6158 his foodH6718? when his young onesH3206 cryH7768 unto GodH410, they wanderH8582 for lackH1097 of meatH400.
KnowestH3045 thou the timeH6256 when the wild goatsH3277 of the rockH5553 bring forthH3205? or canst thou markH8104 when the hindsH355 do calveH2342?
Canst thou numberH5608 the monthsH3391 that they fulfilH4390? or knowestH3045 thou the timeH6256 when they bring forthH3205?
They bowH3766 themselves, they bring forthH6398 their young onesH3206, they cast outH7971 their sorrowsH2256.
Their young onesH1121 are in good likingH2492, they grow upH7235 with cornH1250; they go forthH3318, and returnH7725 not unto them.
Who hath sent outH7971 the wild assH6501 freeH2670? or who hath loosedH6605 the bandsH4147 of the wild assH6171?
Whose houseH1004 I have madeH7760 the wildernessH6160, and the barrenH4420 land his dwellingsH4908. {barren…: Heb. salt places}
He scornethH7832 the multitudeH1995 of the cityH7151, neither regardethH8085 he the cryingH8663 of the driverH5065. {of the driver: Heb. of the exactor}
The rangeH3491 of the mountainsH2022 is his pastureH4829, and he searchethH1875 afterH310 every green thingH3387.
Will the unicornH7214 be willingH14 to serveH5647 thee, or abideH3885 by thy cribH18?
Canst thou bindH7194 the unicornH7214 with his bandH5688 in the furrowH8525? or will he harrowH7702 the valleysH6010 afterH310 thee?
Wilt thou trustH982 him, because his strengthH3581 is greatH7227? or wilt thou leaveH5800 thy labourH3018 to him?
Wilt thou believeH539 him, that he will bring homeH7725+H7725 thy seedH2233, and gatherH622 it into thy barnH1637?
Gavest thou the goodlyH7443 wingsH3671 unto the peacocksH5965? or wingsH84 and feathersH2624 unto the ostrichH5133? {wings and…: or, the feathers of the stork and ostrich}
Which leavethH5800 her eggsH1000 in the earthH776, and warmethH2552 them in dustH6083,
And forgettethH7911 that the footH7272 may crushH2115 them, or that the wildH7704 beastH2416 may breakH1758 them.
She is hardenedH7188 against her young onesH1121, as though they were notH3808 hers: her labourH3018 is in vainH7385 without fearH6343;
Because GodH433 hath deprivedH5382 her of wisdomH2451, neither hath he impartedH2505 to her understandingH998.
What timeH6256 she lifteth upH4754 herself on highH4791, she scornethH7832 the horseH5483 and his riderH7392.
Hast thou givenH5414 the horseH5483 strengthH1369? hast thou clothedH3847 his neckH6677 with thunderH7483?
Canst thou make him afraidH7493 as a grasshopperH697? the gloryH1935 of his nostrilsH5170 is terribleH367. {terrible: Heb. terror}
He pawethH2658 in the valleyH6010, and rejoicethH7797 in his strengthH3581: he goeth onH3318 to meetH7125 the armed menH5402. {He paweth: or, His feet dig} {the armed…: Heb. the armour}
He mockethH7832 at fearH6343, and is not affrightedH2865; neither turneth he backH7725 fromH6440 the swordH2719.
The quiverH827 rattlethH7439 against him, the glitteringH3851 spearH2595 and the shieldH3591.
He swallowethH1572 the groundH776 with fiercenessH7494 and rageH7267: neither believethH539 he that it is the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782.
He saithH559 amongH1767 the trumpetsH7782, HaH1889, haH1889; and he smellethH7306 the battleH4421 afar offH7350, the thunderH7482 of the captainsH8269, and the shoutingH8643.
Doth the hawkH5322 flyH82 by thy wisdomH998, and stretchH6566 her wingsH3671 toward the southH8486?
Doth the eagleH5404 mount upH1361 at thy commandH6310, and makeH7311 her nestH7064 on highH7311? {at…: Heb. by thy mouth}
She dwellethH7931 and abidethH3885 on the rockH5553, upon the cragH8127 of the rockH5553, and the strong placeH4686.
From thence she seekethH2658 the preyH400, and her eyesH5869 beholdH5027 afar offH7350.
Her young onesH667 also suck upH5966 bloodH1818: and where the slainH2491 are, there is sheH1931.
Moreover the LORDH3068 answeredH6030 JobH347, and saidH559,
Shall he that contendethH7378 with the AlmightyH7706 instructH3250 him? he that reprovethH3198 GodH433, let him answerH6030 it.
Then JobH347 answeredH6030 the LORDH3068, and saidH559,
Behold, I am vileH7043; what shall I answerH7725 thee? I will layH7760 mine handH3027 uponH3926 my mouthH6310.
OnceH259 have I spokenH1696; but I will not answerH6030: yea, twiceH8147; but I will proceed no furtherH3254.
Then answeredH6030 the LORDH3068 unto JobH347 out of the whirlwindH5591, and saidH559,
Gird upH247 thy loinsH2504 now like a manH1397: I will demandH7592 of thee, and declareH3045 thou unto me.
Wilt thou also disannulH6565 my judgmentH4941? wilt thou condemnH7561 me, that thou mayest be righteousH6663?
Hast thou an armH2220 like GodH410? or canst thou thunderH7481 with a voiceH6963 like him?
DeckH5710 thyself now with majestyH1347 and excellencyH1363; and arrayH3847 thyself with gloryH1935 and beautyH1926.
Cast abroadH6327 the rageH5678 of thy wrathH639: and beholdH7200 every one that is proudH1343, and abaseH8213 him.
LookH7200 on every one that is proudH1343, and bring him lowH3665; and tread downH1915 the wickedH7563 in their place.
HideH2934 them in the dustH6083 togetherH3162; and bindH2280 their facesH6440 in secretH2934.
Then will I also confessH3034 unto thee that thine own right handH3225 can saveH3467 thee.
Behold now behemothH930, which I madeH6213 with thee; he eatethH398 grassH2682 as an oxH1241. {behemoth: or the Elephant as some think}
Lo now, his strengthH3581 is in his loinsH4975, and his forceH202 is in the navelH8306 of his bellyH990.
He movethH2654 his tailH2180 like a cedarH730: the sinewsH1517 of his stonesH6344 are wrapped togetherH8276. {He…: or, He setteth up}
His bonesH6106 are as strongH650 pieces of brassH5154; his bonesH1634 are like barsH4300 of ironH1270.
He is the chiefH7225 of the waysH1870 of GodH410: he that madeH6213 him can makeH5066 his swordH2719 to approachH5066 unto him.
Surely the mountainsH2022 bring him forthH5375 foodH944, where all the beastsH2416 of the fieldH7704 playH7832.
He liethH7901 under the shady treesH6628, in the covertH5643 of the reedH7070, and fensH1207.
The shady treesH6628 coverH5526 him with their shadowH6752; the willowsH6155 of the brookH5158 compass him aboutH5437.
Behold, he drinketh upH6231 a riverH5104, and hastethH2648 not: he trustethH982 that he can draw upH1518 JordanH3383 into his mouthH6310. {he drinketh up: Heb. he oppresseth}
He takethH3947 it with his eyesH5869: his noseH639 pierceth throughH5344 snaresH4170. {He…: or, Will any take him in his sight, or, bore his nose with a gin?}
Canst thou draw outH4900 leviathanH3882 with an hookH2443? or his tongueH3956 with a cordH2256 which thou lettest downH8257? {leviathan: That is, a whale or a whirlepoole} {which…: Heb. which thou drownest?}
Canst thou putH7760 an hookH100 into his noseH639? or boreH5344 his jawH3895 through with a thornH2336?
Will he make manyH7235 supplicationsH8469 unto thee? will he speakH1696 softH7390 words unto thee?
Will he makeH3772 a covenantH1285 with thee? wilt thou takeH3947 him for a servantH5650 for everH5769?
Wilt thou playH7832 with him as with a birdH6833? or wilt thou bindH7194 him for thy maidensH5291?
Shall the companionsH2271 make a banquetH3739 of him? shall they partH2673 him among the merchantsH3669?
Canst thou fillH4390 his skinH5785 with barbed ironsH7905? or his headH7218 with fishH1709 spearsH6767?
LayH7760 thine handH3709 upon him, rememberH2142 the battleH4421, do no moreH3254.
Behold, the hopeH8431 of him is in vainH3576: shall not one be cast downH2904 even at the sightH4758 of him?
None is so fierceH393 that dare stir him upH5782+H5782: who then is able to standH3320 beforeH6440 me?
Who hath preventedH6923 me, that I should repayH7999 him? whatsoever is under the whole heavenH8064 is mine.
I will not concealH2790 his partsH907, nor his powerH1369+H1697, nor his comelyH2433 proportionH6187.
Who can discoverH1540 the faceH6440 of his garmentH3830? or who can comeH935 to him with his doubleH3718 bridleH7448? {with: or, within}
Who can openH6605 the doorsH1817 of his faceH6440? his teethH8127 are terribleH367 round aboutH5439.
His scalesH4043+H650 are his prideH1346, shut up togetherH5462 as with a closeH6862 sealH2368. {scales: Heb. strong pieces of shields}
OneH259 is so nearH5066 to anotherH259, that no airH7307 can comeH935 between them.
They are joinedH1692 oneH376 to anotherH251, they stick togetherH3920, that they cannot be sunderedH6504.
By his neesingsH5846 a lightH216 doth shineH1984, and his eyesH5869 are like the eyelidsH6079 of the morningH7837.
Out of his mouthH6310 goH1980 burning lampsH3940, and sparksH3590 of fireH784 leap outH4422.
Out of his nostrilsH5156 goethH3318 smokeH6227, as out of a seethingH5301 potH1731 or caldronH100.
His breathH5315 kindlethH3857 coalsH1513, and a flameH3851 goeth outH3318 of his mouthH6310.
In his neckH6677 remainethH3885 strengthH5797, and sorrowH1670 is turned into joyH1750 beforeH6440 him. {is turned into joy: Heb. rejoiceth}
The flakesH4651 of his fleshH1320 are joined togetherH1692: they are firmH3332 in themselves; they cannot be movedH4131. {flakes: Heb. fallings}
His heartH3820 is as firmH3332 as a stoneH68; yea, as hardH3332 as a pieceH6400 of the netherH8482 millstone.
When he raiseth upH7613 himself, the mightyH352 are afraidH1481: by reason of breakingsH7667 they purifyH2398 themselves.
The swordH2719 of him that layethH5381 at him cannot holdH6965: the spearH2595, the dartH4551, nor the habergeonH8302. {habergeon: or, breastplate}
He esteemethH2803 ironH1270 as strawH8401, and brassH5154 as rottenH7539 woodH6086.
The arrowH1121+H7198 cannot make him fleeH1272: slingstonesH68+H7050 are turnedH2015 with him into stubbleH7179.
DartsH8455 are countedH2803 as stubbleH7179: he laughethH7832 at the shakingH7494 of a spearH3591.
SharpH2303 stonesH2789 are under him: he spreadethH7502 sharp pointed thingsH2742 upon the mireH2916. {Sharp stones: Heb. Sharp pieces of potsherd}
He maketh the deepH4688 to boilH7570 like a potH5518: he makethH7760 the seaH3220 like a pot of ointmentH4841.
He maketh a pathH5410 to shineH215 afterH310 him; one would thinkH2803 the deepH8415 to be hoaryH7872.
Upon earthH6083 there is not his likeH4915, who is madeH6213 withoutH1097 fearH2844. {is made without fear: or, behave themselves without fear}
He beholdethH7200 all highH1364 things: he is a kingH4428 over all the childrenH1121 of prideH7830.
ForG3754 weG2254 wrestleG3823 notG3756 againstG2076+G4314 fleshG4561 andG2532 bloodG129, butG235 againstG4314 principalitiesG746, againstG4314 powersG1849, againstG4314 the rulersG2888 of the darknessG4655 of thisG5127 worldG165, againstG4314 spiritualG4152 wickednessG4189 inG1722 highG2032 places. {flesh…: Gr. blood and flesh} {spiritual…: or, wicked spirits} {high: or, heavenly}
ForG3754 byG1722 himG846 wereG2936 all thingsG3956 createdG2936, that are inG1722 heavenG3772, andG2532 that are inG1909 earthG1093, visibleG3707 andG2532 invisibleG517, whetherG1535 they be thronesG2362, orG1535 dominionsG2963, orG1535 principalitiesG746, orG1535 powersG1849: all thingsG3956 were createdG2936 byG1223 himG846, andG2532 forG1519 himG846:
ThenG2532 PeterG4074 tookG4355 himG846, and beganG756 to rebukeG2008 himG846, sayingG3004, Be it farG2436 from theeG4671, LordG2962: thisG5124 shallG2071 notG3364 beG2071 unto theeG4671. {Be…: Gr. Pity thyself}
ButG1161 he turnedG4762, and saidG2036 unto PeterG4074, Get theeG5217 behindG3694 meG3450, SatanG4567: thouG1488 artG3754 an offenceG4625 unto meG3450: for thou savourestG5426 notG3756 the thingsG3588 that be of GodG2316, butG235 those that be of menG444.
Moreover the LORDH3068 answeredH6030 JobH347, and saidH559,
Shall he that contendethH7378 with the AlmightyH7706 instructH3250 him? he that reprovethH3198 GodH433, let him answerH6030 it.
Then JobH347 answeredH6030 the LORDH3068, and saidH559,
Behold, I am vileH7043; what shall I answerH7725 thee? I will layH7760 mine handH3027 uponH3926 my mouthH6310.
OnceH259 have I spokenH1696; but I will not answerH6030: yea, twiceH8147; but I will proceed no furtherH3254.
Then answeredH6030 the LORDH3068 unto JobH347 out of the whirlwindH5591, and saidH559,
Gird upH247 thy loinsH2504 now like a manH1397: I will demandH7592 of thee, and declareH3045 thou unto me.
Wilt thou also disannulH6565 my judgmentH4941? wilt thou condemnH7561 me, that thou mayest be righteousH6663?
Hast thou an armH2220 like GodH410? or canst thou thunderH7481 with a voiceH6963 like him?
Then JobH347 answeredH6030 the LORDH3068, and saidH559,
I knowH3045 that thou canst doH3201 every thing, and that no thoughtH4209 can be withholdenH1219 from thee. {no thought can be…: or, no thought of thine can be hindered}
Who is he that hidethH5956 counselH6098 without knowledgeH1847? therefore have I utteredH5046 that I understoodH995 not; things too wonderfulH6381 for me, which I knewH3045 not.
HearH8085, I beseech thee, and I will speakH1696: I will demandH7592 of thee, and declareH3045 thou unto me.
