Will he who is protesting give teaching to the Ruler of all ?
Let him who has arguments to put forward against God give an answer .
bbe @
Job:40:2 @
And Job said in answer to the Lord ,
bbe @
Job:40:3 @
Truly ,
I am of no value ;
what answer may I give to you ?
I will put my hand on my mouth .
bbe @
Job:40:4 @
I have said once ,
and even twice ,
what was in my mind ,
but I will not do so again .
bbe @
Job:40:5 @
Then the Lord made answer to Job out of the storm-wind ,
and said ,
bbe @
Job:40:6 @
Get your strength together like a man of war :
I will put questions to you ,
and you will give me the answers .
bbe @
Job:40:7 @
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 ?
bbe @
Job:40:8 @
Have you an arm like God ?
have you a voice of thunder like his ?
bbe @
Job:40:9 @
Put on the ornaments of your pride ;
be clothed with glory and power :
bbe @
Job:40:10 @
Let your wrath be overflowing ;
let your eyes see all the sons of pride ,
and make them low .
bbe @
Job:40:11 @
Send destruction on all who are lifted up ,
pulling down the sinners from their places .
bbe @
Job:40:12 @
Let them be covered together in the dust ;
let their faces be dark in the secret place of the underworld .
bbe @
Job:40:13 @
Then I will give praise to you ,
saying that your right hand is able to give you salvation .
bbe @
Job:40:14 @
See now the Great Beast ,
whom I made ,
even as I made you ;
he takes grass for food ,
like the ox .
bbe @
Job:40:15 @
His strength is in his body ,
and his force in the muscles of his stomach .
bbe @
Job:40:16 @
His tail is curving like a cedar ;
the muscles of his legs are joined together .
bbe @
Job:40:17 @
His bones are pipes of brass ,
his legs are like rods of iron .
bbe @
Job:40:18 @
He is the chief of the ways of God ,
made by him for his pleasure .
bbe @
Job:40:19 @
He takes the produce of the mountains ,
where all the beasts of the field are at play .
bbe @
Job:40:20 @
He takes his rest under the trees of the river ,
and in the pool ,
under the shade of the water-plants .
bbe @
Job:40:21 @
He is covered by the branches of the trees ;
the grasses of the stream are round him .
bbe @
Job:40:22 @
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 .
bbe @
Job:40:23 @
Will anyone take him when he is on the watch ,
or put metal teeth through his nose ?
