Then Yahweh answered Job out of the whirlwind ,
web @
Job:38:2 @"
Who is this who darkens counsel by words without knowledge ?
web @
Job:38:3 @
Brace yourself like a man ,
for I will question you ,
then you answer me !
web @
Job:38:4 @"
Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth ?
Declare ,
if you have understanding .
web @
Job:38:5 @
Who determined its measures ,
if you know ?
Or who stretched the line on it ?
web @
Job:38:6 @
Whereupon were its foundations fastened ?
Or who laid its cornerstone ,
web @
Job:38:7 @
when the morning stars sang together ,
and all the sons of God shouted for joy ?
web @
Job:38:8 @"
Or who shut up the sea with doors ,
when it broke forth from the womb ,
web @
Job:38:9 @
when I made clouds its garment ,
and wrapped it in thick darkness ,
web @
Job:38:10 @
marked out for it my bound ,
set bars and doors ,
web @
Job:38:11 @
and said , '
Here you may come ,
but no further .
Here your proud waves shall be stayed ?'
web @
Job:38:12 @"
Have you commanded the morning in your days ,
and caused the dawn to know its place ;
web @
Job:38:13 @
that it might take hold of the ends of the earth ,
and shake the wicked out of it ?
web @
Job:38:14 @
It is changed as clay under the seal ,
and stands forth as a garment .
web @
Job:38:15 @
From the wicked ,
their light is withheld .
The high arm is broken .
web @
Job:38:16 @"
Have you entered into the springs of the sea ?
Or have you walked in the recesses of the deep ?
web @
Job:38:17 @
Have the gates of death been revealed to you ?
Or have you seen the gates of the shadow of death ?
web @
Job:38:18 @
Have you comprehended the earth in its breadth ?
Declare ,
if you know it all .
web @
Job:38:19 @"
What is the way to the dwelling of light ?
As for darkness ,
where is its place ,
web @
Job:38:20 @
that you should take it to its bound ,
that you should discern the paths to its house ?
web @
Job:38:21 @
Surely you know ,
for you were born then ,
and the number of your days is great !
web @
Job:38:22 @
Have you entered the treasuries of the snow ,
or have you seen the treasures of the hail ,
web @
Job:38:23 @
which I have reserved against the time of trouble ,
against the day of battle and war ?
web @
Job:38:24 @
By what way is the lightning distributed ,
or the east wind scattered on the earth ?
web @
Job:38:25 @
Who has cut a channel for the flood water ,
or the path for the thunderstorm ;
web @
Job:38:26 @
To cause it to rain on a land where no man is ;
on the wilderness ,
in which there is no man ;
web @
Job:38:27 @
to satisfy the waste and desolate ground ,
to cause the tender grass to spring forth ?
web @
Job:38:28 @
Does the rain have a father ?
Or who fathers the drops of dew ?
web @
Job:38:29 @
Out of whose womb came the ice ?
The gray frost of the sky ,
who has given birth to it ?
web @
Job:38:30 @
The waters become hard like stone ,
when the surface of the deep is frozen .
web @
Job:38:31 @"
Can you bind the cluster of the Pleiades ,
or loosen the cords of Orion ?
web @
Job:38:32 @
Can you lead forth the constellations in their season ?
Or can you guide the Bear with her cubs ?
web @
Job:38:33 @
Do you know the laws of the heavens ?
Can you establish its dominion over the earth ?
web @
Job:38:34 @"
Can you lift up your voice to the clouds ,
That abundance of waters may cover you ?
web @
Job:38:35 @
Can you send forth lightnings ,
that they may go ?
Do they report to you , '
Here we are ?'
web @
Job:38:36 @
Who has put wisdom in the inward parts ?
Or who has given understanding to the mind ?
web @
Job:38:37 @
Who can number the clouds by wisdom ?
Or who can pour out the bottles of the sky ,
web @
Job:38:38 @
when the dust runs into a mass ,
and the clods of earth stick together ?
web @
Job:38:39 @"
Can you hunt the prey for the lioness ,
or satisfy the appetite of the young lions ,
web @
Job:38:40 @
when they crouch in their dens ,
and lie in wait in the thicket ?
web @
Job:38:41 @
Who provides for the raven his prey ,
when his young ones cry to God ,
and wander for lack of food ?
web @
Job:39:1 @"
Do you know the time when the mountain goats give birth ?
Do you watch when the doe bears fawns ?
web @
Job:39:2 @
Can you number the months that they fulfill ?
Or do you know the time when they give birth ?
web @
Job:39:3 @
They bow themselves ,
they bring forth their young ,
they end their labor pains .
web @
Job:39:4 @
Their young ones become strong .
They grow up in the open field .
They go forth ,
and don '
t return again .
web @
Job:39:5 @"
Who has set the wild donkey free ?
Or who has loosened the bonds of the swift donkey ,
web @
Job:39:6 @
Whose home I have made the wilderness ,
and the salt land his dwelling place ?
web @
Job:39:7 @
He scorns the tumult of the city ,
neither does he hear the shouting of the driver .
web @
Job:39:8 @
The range of the mountains is his pasture ,
He searches after every green thing .
web @
Job:39:9 @"
Will the wild ox be content to serve you ?
Or will he stay by your feeding trough ?
web @
Job:39:10 @
Can you hold the wild ox in the furrow with his harness ?
Or will he till the valleys after you ?
web @
Job:39:11 @
Will you trust him ,
because his strength is great ?
Or will you leave to him your labor ?
web @
Job:39:12 @
Will you confide in him ,
that he will bring home your seed ,
and gather the grain of your threshing floor ?
web @
Job:39:13 @"
The wings of the ostrich wave proudly ;
but are they the feathers and plumage of love ?
web @
Job:39:14 @
For she leaves her eggs on the earth ,
warms them in the dust ,
web @
Job:39:15 @
and forgets that the foot may crush them ,
or that the wild animal may trample them .
web @
Job:39:16 @
She deals harshly with her young ones ,
as if they were not hers .
Though her labor is in vain ,
she is without fear ,
web @
Job:39:17 @
because God has deprived her of wisdom ,
neither has he imparted to her understanding .
web @
Job:39:18 @
When she lifts up herself on high ,
she scorns the horse and his rider .
web @
Job:39:19 @"
Have you given the horse might ?
Have you clothed his neck with a quivering mane ?
web @
Job:39:20 @
Have you made him to leap as a locust ?
The glory of his snorting is awesome .
web @
Job:39:21 @
He paws in the valley ,
and rejoices in his strength .
He goes out to meet the armed men .
web @
Job:39:22 @
He mocks at fear ,
and is not dismayed ,
neither does he turn back from the sword .
web @
Job:39:23 @
The quiver rattles against him ,
the flashing spear and the javelin .
web @
Job:39:24 @
He eats up the ground with fierceness and rage ,
neither does he stand still at the sound of the trumpet .
web @
Job:39:25 @
As often as the trumpet sounds he snorts , '
Aha !'
He smells the battle afar off ,
the thunder of the captains ,
and the shouting .
web @
Job:39:26 @"
Is it by your wisdom that the hawk soars ,
and stretches her wings toward the south ?
web @
Job:39:27 @
Is it at your command that the eagle mounts up ,
and makes his nest on high ?
web @
Job:39:28 @
On the cliff he dwells ,
and makes his home ,
on the point of the cliff ,
and the stronghold .
web @
Job:39:29 @
From there he spies out the prey .
His eyes see it afar off .
web @
Job:39:30 @
His young ones also suck up blood .
Where the slain are ,
there he is ."
web @
Job:40:1 @
Moreover Yahweh answered Job ,
web @
Job:40:2 @"
Shall he who argues contend with the Almighty ?
He who argues with God ,
let him answer it ."
web @
Job:40:3 @
Then Job answered Yahweh ,
web @
Job:40:4 @"
Behold ,
I am of small account .
What shall I answer you ?
I lay my hand on my mouth .
web @
Job:40:5 @
I have spoken once ,
and I will not answer ;
Yes ,
twice ,
but I will proceed no further ."
web @
Job:40:6 @
Then Yahweh answered Job out of the whirlwind ,
web @
Job:40:7 @"
Now brace yourself like a man .
I will question you ,
and you will answer me .
web @
Job:40:8 @
Will you even annul my judgment ?
Will you condemn me ,
that you may be justified ?
web @
Job:40:9 @
Or do you have an arm like God ?
Can you thunder with a voice like him ?
web @
Job:40:10 @"
Now deck yourself with excellency and dignity .
Array yourself with honor and majesty .
web @
Job:40:11 @
Pour out the fury of your anger .
Look at everyone who is proud ,
and bring him low .
web @
Job:40:12 @
Look at everyone who is proud ,
and humble him .
Crush the wicked in their place .
web @
Job:40:13 @
Hide them in the dust together .
Bind their faces in the hidden place .
web @
Job:40:14 @
Then I will also admit to you that your own right hand can save you .
web @
Job:40:15 @"
See now ,
behemoth ,
which I made as well as you .
He eats grass as an ox .
web @
Job:40:16 @
Look now ,
his strength is in his thighs .
His force is in the muscles of his belly .
web @
Job:40:17 @
He moves his tail like a cedar .
The sinews of his thighs are knit together .
web @
Job:40:18 @
His bones are like tubes of brass .
His limbs are like bars of iron .
web @
Job:40:19 @
He is the chief of the ways of God .
He who made him gives him his sword .
web @
Job:40:20 @
Surely the mountains produce food for him ,
where all the animals of the field play .
web @
Job:40:21 @
He lies under the lotus trees ,
in the covert of the reed ,
and the marsh .
web @
Job:40:22 @
The lotuses cover him with their shade .
The willows of the brook surround him .
web @
Job:40:23 @
Behold ,
if a river overflows ,
he doesn '
t tremble .
He is confident ,
though the Jordan swells even to his mouth .
web @
Job:40:24 @
Shall any take him when he is on the watch ,
or pierce through his nose with a snare ?
web @
Job:41:1 @"
Can you draw out Leviathan {
Leviathan is a name for a crocodile or similar creature .}
with a fishhook ,
or press down his tongue with a cord ?
web @
Job:41:2 @
Can you put a rope into his nose ,
or pierce his jaw through with a hook ?
web @
Job:41:3 @
Will he make many petitions to you ,
or will he speak soft words to you ?
web @
Job:41:4 @
Will he make a covenant with you ,
that you should take him for a servant forever ?
web @
Job:41:5 @
Will you play with him as with a bird ?
Or will you bind him for your girls ?
web @
Job:41:6 @
Will traders barter for him ?
Will they part him among the merchants ?
web @
Job:41:7 @
Can you fill his skin with barbed irons ,
or his head with fish spears ?
web @
Job:41:8 @
Lay your hand on him .
Remember the battle ,
and do so no more .
web @
Job:41:9 @
Behold ,
the hope of him is in vain .
Won '
t one be cast down even at the sight of him ?
web @
Job:41:10 @
None is so fierce that he dare stir him up .
Who then is he who can stand before me ?
web @
Job:41:11 @
Who has first given to me ,
that I should repay him ?
Everything under the heavens is mine .
web @
Job:41:12 @"
I will not keep silence concerning his limbs ,
nor his mighty strength ,
nor his goodly frame .
web @
Job:41:13 @
Who can strip off his outer garment ?
Who shall come within his jaws ?
web @
Job:41:14 @
Who can open the doors of his face ?
Around his teeth is terror .
web @
Job:41:15 @
Strong scales are his pride ,
shut up together with a close seal .
web @
Job:41:16 @
One is so near to another ,
that no air can come between them .
web @
Job:41:17 @
They are joined one to another .
They stick together ,
so that they can '
t be pulled apart .
web @
Job:41:18 @
His sneezing flashes out light .
His eyes are like the eyelids of the morning .
web @
Job:41:19 @
Out of his mouth go burning torches .
Sparks of fire leap forth .
web @
Job:41:20 @
Out of his nostrils a smoke goes ,
as of a boiling pot over a fire of reeds .
web @
Job:41:21 @
His breath kindles coals .
A flame goes forth from his mouth .
web @
Job:41:22 @
There is strength in his neck .
Terror dances before him .
web @
Job:41:23 @
The flakes of his flesh are joined together .
They are firm on him .
They can '
t be moved .
web @
Job:41:24 @
His heart is as firm as a stone ,
yes ,
firm as the lower millstone .
web @
Job:41:25 @
When he raises himself up ,
the mighty are afraid .
They retreat before his thrashing .
web @
Job:41:26 @
If one attacks him with the sword ,
it can '
t prevail ;
nor the spear ,
the dart ,
nor the pointed shaft .
web @
Job:41:27 @
He counts iron as straw ;
and brass as rotten wood .
web @
Job:41:28 @
The arrow can '
t make him flee .
Sling stones are like chaff to him .
web @
Job:41:29 @
Clubs are counted as stubble .
He laughs at the rushing of the javelin .
web @
Job:41:30 @
His undersides are like sharp potsherds ,
leaving a trail in the mud like a threshing sledge .
web @
Job:41:31 @
He makes the deep to boil like a pot .
He makes the sea like a pot of ointment .
web @
Job:41:32 @
He makes a path shine after him .
One would think the deep had white hair .
web @
Job:41:33 @
On earth there is not his equal ,
that is made without fear .
web @
Job:41:34 @
He sees everything that is high .
He is king over all the sons of pride ."

Job:42:1 @
Then Job answered Yahweh ,
