Job:38-41
rotherham@Job:38:1 @ Then Yahweh responded to Job, out of a storm, and said:
rotherham@Job:38:2 @ Who is it that darkeneth counsel, by words, without knowledge?
rotherham@Job:38:3 @ Gird, I pray theelike a strong manthy loins, that I may ask thee, and inform thou me:
rotherham@Job:38:4 @ Where wast thou, when I founded the earth? Tell, if thou knowest understanding!
rotherham@Job:38:5 @ Who set the measurements thereof, if thou knowest? Or who stretched out over it a line?
rotherham@Job:38:6 @ Whereon were the pedestals thereof sunk? Or who laid the corner stone thereof;
rotherham@Job:38:7 @ When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
rotherham@Job:38:8 @ Or shut in, with double doors, the sea, when, bursting out of the womb, it came forth;
rotherham@Job:38:9 @ When I put a cloud as the garment thereof, and a thick cloud as the swaddling-band thereof;
rotherham@Job:38:10 @ And brake off for it my boundary, and fixed a bar and double doors;
rotherham@Job:38:11 @ And said Hitherto, shalt thou come, and no further, and, here, shalt thou set a limit to the majesty of thy waves?
rotherham@Job:38:12 @ Since thy days hast thou commanded the morning? or caused the dawn to know its place;
rotherham@Job:38:13 @ That it might lay hold of the wings of the earth, and the lawless be shaken out of it?
rotherham@Job:38:14 @ It transformeth itself like the clay of a seal, so that things stand forth like one arrayed;
rotherham@Job:38:15 @ That their light may be withdrawn from the lawless, and, the lofty arm, be shivered.
rotherham@Job:38:16 @ Hast thou entered as far as the springs of the sea? Or, through the secret recesses of the resounding deep, hast thou wandered?
rotherham@Job:38:17 @ Have the gates of death been disclosed to thee? And, the gates of the death-shade, couldst thou descry?
rotherham@Job:38:18 @ Hast thou well considered, even the breadths of the earth? Tellif thou knowest it all!
rotherham@Job:38:19 @ Where then is the way, the light shall abide? And, the darkness, where then is its place?
rotherham@Job:38:20 @ That thou mayest conduct it unto the bound thereof, and that thou mayest perceive the paths to its house.
rotherham@Job:38:21 @ Thou knowest, for, then, hadst thou been born! And, in number, thy days are many!
rotherham@Job:38:22 @ Hast thou entered into the treasuries of the snow? And, the treasuries of the hail, couldst thou see?
rotherham@Job:38:23 @ Which I have reserved for a time of distress, for the day of conflict and of war?
rotherham@Job:38:24 @ Where then is the way the lightning is parted? The east wind spreadeth itself abroad over the earth.
rotherham@Job:38:25 @ Who hath clovenfor the torrenta channel? Or a way for the lightning of thunders;
rotherham@Job:38:26 @ To give rain over the no-mans land, the desert, where no son of earth is;
rotherham@Job:38:27 @ To satisfy the wild and the wilderness, to cause to spring forth the meadow of young grass?
rotherham@Job:38:28 @ Hath the rain a father? Or who hath begotten the drops of dew?
rotherham@Job:38:29 @ Out of whose womb, came forth the ice? And, the hoar-frost of the heavens, who hath given it birth?
rotherham@Job:38:30 @ Like a stone, are the waters congealed, and, the face of the roaring deep, becometh firm!
rotherham@Job:38:31 @ Canst thou bind the fetters of the Pleiades? Or, the bands of Orion, canst thou unloose?
rotherham@Job:38:32 @ Canst thou bring forth the signs of the Zodiac each in its season? Or, the Bear and her Young, canst thou lead?
rotherham@Job:38:33 @ Knowest thou, the statutes of the heavens? Or didst thou appoint his dominion over the earth?
rotherham@Job:38:34 @ Canst thou lift up, to the thick cloud, thy voice, and the overflow of waters cover thee?
rotherham@Job:38:35 @ Canst thou send forth the lightnings, so that they go, and say to thee, Behold us?
rotherham@Job:38:36 @ Who hath putinto cloud-formswisdom? Or who hath givento the meteorunderstanding?
rotherham@Job:38:37 @ Who can count the thin clouds, in wisdom? And, the bottles of the heavens, who can empty out;
rotherham@Job:38:38 @ When the dust is cast into a clod, and the lumps are bound together?
rotherham@Job:38:39 @ Wilt thou huntfor the Lionessprey? Or, the craving of the Strong Lion, wilt thou satisfy;
rotherham@Job:38:40 @ When they settle down in dens, abide in covert, for lying in wait?
rotherham@Job:38:41 @ Who prepareth for the Raven his nourishment, when his young onesunto GODcry out,
rotherham@Job:39:1 @ Knowest thou the season when the Wild Goats of the crags beget? The bringing forth of the hinds, canst thou observe?
rotherham@Job:39:2 @ Canst thou count the months they fulfil? Or knowest thou the time when they give birth?
rotherham@Job:39:3 @ They kneel down, their young, they bring forth; their pains, they throw off;
rotherham@Job:39:4 @ Their young become strong, they grow up in the open field, they go out, and return not unto them.
rotherham@Job:39:5 @ Who hath sent forth the Wild Ass free? And, the bands of the swift-runner, who hath loosed?
rotherham@Job:39:6 @ Whose house I have made the waste plain, and his dwellings, the land of salt:
rotherham@Job:39:7 @ He laugheth at the throng of the city, The shoutings of the driver, he heareth not;
rotherham@Job:39:8 @ He espieth the mountains, his pasture-ground, and, after every green thing, maketh search.
rotherham@Job:39:9 @ Will the Wild-Ox be pleased to be thy servant? or lodge for the night by thy crib?
rotherham@Job:39:10 @ Canst thou bind the wild-ox, so thatwith the ridgeshall run his cord? Or will he harrow the furrows after thee?
rotherham@Job:39:11 @ Wilt thou trust in him, because of the greatness of his strength? Wilt thou leave unto him thy toil?
rotherham@Job:39:12 @ Wilt thou put faith in him, that he will bring back thy seed? and that, corn for thy threshing-floor, he will gather?
rotherham@Job:39:13 @ The wing of the Ostrich that waveth itself joyfully, Is it the pinion of lovingkindness or the plumage?
rotherham@Job:39:14 @ For she leavethto the earthher eggs, and, on the dust, she letteth them be warmed;
rotherham@Job:39:15 @ And hath forgotten, that, a foot, may crush them, or, the wild beast, tread on them!
rotherham@Job:39:16 @ Dealing hardly with her young, as none-of hers, In vain, her labour, without dread.
rotherham@Job:39:17 @ For GOD hath suffered her to forget wisdom, and given her no share in understanding.
rotherham@Job:39:18 @ What time, on high, she vibrateth her wings, she laugheth at the horse and his rider.
rotherham@Job:39:19 @ Couldst thou giveto the Horsestrength? Couldst thou clothe his neck with the quivering mane?
rotherham@Job:39:20 @ Couldst thou cause him to leap like a locust? The majesty of his snort, is a terror!
rotherham@Job:39:21 @ He diggeth into the plain, and rejoiceth in vigour, he goeth forth to meet armour;
rotherham@Job:39:22 @ He laugheth at dread, and is not dismayed, neither turneth he back, from the face of the sword;
rotherham@Job:39:23 @ Against him, whiz the quiver, the flashing head of spear and javelin;
rotherham@Job:39:24 @ With stamping and rage, he drinketh up the ground, he will not stand still when the horn soundeth;
rotherham@Job:39:25 @ As oft as the horn soundeth, he saith, Aha! And, from afar, he scenteth the battle, the thunder of commanders and the war-cry.
rotherham@Job:39:26 @ Is it, by thine understanding, that the Bird of Passage betaketh him to his pinions? spreadeth out his wings to the south?
rotherham@Job:39:27 @ Or, at thy bidding, that the Eagle mounteth, and that he setteth on high his nest?
rotherham@Job:39:28 @ The crag, he inhabiteth, and so lodgeth himself, on the tooth of the crag, and high fort;
rotherham@Job:39:29 @ From thence, he searcheth out food, far away, his eyes do pierce;
rotherham@Job:39:30 @ And, his young brood, suck up blood, and, where the slain are, there, is he.
rotherham@Job:40:1 @ And Yahweh responded to Job, and said:
rotherham@Job:40:2 @ Shall a reprover contend, with the Almighty? He that disputeth with GOD, let him answer it!
rotherham@Job:40:3 @ Then Job responded to Yahweh, and said:
rotherham@Job:40:4 @ Lo! I am of no account, what shall I reply to thee? My hand, have I laid on my mouth:
rotherham@Job:40:5 @ Once, have I spoken, but I will not proceed, yea twice, but I will not add.
rotherham@Job:40:6 @ So then Yahweh responded to Job, out of a storm, and said:
rotherham@Job:40:7 @ Gird, I pray theeas a strong manthy loins, I will ask thee, and inform thou me.
rotherham@Job:40:8 @ Wilt thou even frustrate my justice? Wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest appear right?
rotherham@Job:40:9 @ But if, an arm like GOD, thou hast, and, with a voice like his, thou canst thunder,
rotherham@Job:40:10 @ Deck thyself, I pray thee, with majesty and grandeur, Yea, with dignity and splendour, thou shalt clothe thyself;
rotherham@Job:40:11 @ Pour out thy transports of anger, and look on every one who is high, and lay him low;
rotherham@Job:40:12 @ Look on every one who is high, and humble him, yea tread down the lawless, on the spot:
rotherham@Job:40:13 @ Hide them in the dust all together, Their faces, bind thou in darkness;
rotherham@Job:40:14 @ And, even I myself, will praise thee, in that thine own right hand can bring thee salvation.
rotherham@Job:40:15 @ Behold, I pray thee, the Hippopotamus, which I made with thee, Grasslike the ox, he eateth;
rotherham@Job:40:16 @ Behold, I pray thee, his strength in his loins, and his force, in the muscles of his belly;
rotherham@Job:40:17 @ He bendeth down his tail like a cedar, the sinews of his thighs, are twisted together;
rotherham@Job:40:18 @ His bones, are barrels of bronze, his frame, is like hammered bars of iron:
rotherham@Job:40:19 @ He, is the beginning of the ways of GOD, Let his maker, present him his sword:
rotherham@Job:40:20 @ Surely the mountains bring, produce, to him, where, all the wild beasts of the field, do play;
rotherham@Job:40:21 @ Under the lotus-trees, he lieth down, in a covert of reed and swamp;
rotherham@Job:40:22 @ The lotus-trees cover him with their shade, the willows of the torrent-bed compass him about;
rotherham@Job:40:23 @ Lo! the river becometh insolenthe is not alarmed! He is confident, though a Jordan burst forth to his mouth:
rotherham@Job:40:24 @ Before his eyes, shall he be caught? With a hook, can one pierce his nose?
rotherham@Job:41:1 @ Canst thou draw out the Crocodile with a fish-hook? Or, with a cord, canst thou fasten down his tongue?
rotherham@Job:41:2 @ Wilt thou put a rush-cord on his nose? or, with a thorn, wilt thou pierce his jaw?
rotherham@Job:41:3 @ Will he multiply unto thee supplications, or will he speak unto thee softly?
rotherham@Job:41:4 @ Will he solemnise a covenant with thee? Wilt thou take him for a life-long servant?
rotherham@Job:41:5 @ Wilt thou sport with him, as with a little bird? Or wilt thou bind him, for thy maidens?
rotherham@Job:41:6 @ Shall the companions bargain over him? or will they part him among the traders?
rotherham@Job:41:7 @ Wilt thou fill, with darts, his skin? or, with fish-spears, his head?
rotherham@Job:41:8 @ Lay thou upon him thy hand, remember the battleno more!
rotherham@Job:41:9 @ Lo! any hope of him, hath been found deceptive, Even at the sight of him, shall not one be overwhelmed?
rotherham@Job:41:10 @ None so bold, that he will rouse him! Who then is he that, before me, can stand?
rotherham@Job:41:11 @ Who hath forestalled me, that I may repay him? Under all the heavens, mine it is!
rotherham@Job:41:12 @ I will not pass by in silence his parts, or the matter of strength, or the grace of his armour.
rotherham@Job:41:13 @ Who hath removed his outer garment, through his double row of teeth, who would enter?
rotherham@Job:41:14 @ The doors of his face, who hath opened? The circles of his teeth, are a terror!
rotherham@Job:41:15 @ A pride, are his arched sides, closed up, with a firm seal;
rotherham@Job:41:16 @ One to another, they join, and, air, cannot enter between them;
rotherham@Job:41:17 @ Each to its fellow, they cleave, they grasp each other, and cannot be parted;
rotherham@Job:41:18 @ His sneezings, flash forth light, and, his eyes, are like the eyelashes of the dawn;
rotherham@Job:41:19 @ Out of his mouth, torches dart forth, sparks of fire, escape;
rotherham@Job:41:20 @ Out of his nostrils, proceedeth smoke, like a blown pot and rushes;
rotherham@Job:41:21 @ His breath, setteth coals ablaze, and, a flame, out of his mouth, proceedeth;
rotherham@Job:41:22 @ In his neck, lodgeth strength, and, before him, danceth dismay;
rotherham@Job:41:23 @ The dewlaps of his flesh, cleave together, hardened upon him, they cannot be moved;
rotherham@Job:41:24 @ His heart, is hardened like a stone, yea hardened, like the nether millstone;
rotherham@Job:41:25 @ At his rising up, mighty men are afraid, by reason of terror, they are beside themselves:
rotherham@Job:41:26 @ As for him that assaileth him, the sword availeth not, spear, dart, or coat of mail:
rotherham@Job:41:27 @ He counteth iron as broken straw, and bronze as rotten wood:
rotherham@Job:41:28 @ The arrow, will not make him flee, Into chaff, are sling-stones changed by him:
rotherham@Job:41:29 @ As a straw, is a club accounted, and he laugheth at the whir of the javelin;
rotherham@Job:41:30 @ His underparts, are points of potsherd, a pointed threshing roller spreadeth out upon the slime:
rotherham@Job:41:31 @ He causeth to boil, as a cauldron, the raging deep, the sea, he maketh like a brewing vessel:
rotherham@Job:41:32 @ After him, he lighteth up a path, one might think the resounding deep to be hoary!
rotherham@Job:41:33 @ There is notupon the dusthis like, that hath been made to be without fear;
rotherham@Job:41:34 @ Every thing lofty, he beholdeth, he, is king over all ravenous beasts.
rotherham@Job:42:1 @ Then Job responded to Yahweh, and said:
