Job 40 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

“Will the faultfinder ^H3250 contend ^H7378 with the Almighty ^H7706?

Let him who reproves ^H3198 God ^H433 answer ^H6030 it.”

Then Job ^H347 answered ^H6030 Yahweh ^H3068 and said ^H559,

“Behold ^H2005, I am ^H7043 insignificant ^H7043; what ^H4100 can I respond ^H7725 to You?

I place ^H7760 my hand ^H3027 over my mouth ^H6310.

“Once ^H259 I have spoken ^H1696, and I will not answer ^H6030;

Even twice ^H8147, and I will add ^H3254 nothing ^H3808 more.”

Then Yahweh ^H3068 answered ^H6030 Job ^H347 out ^H6030 of the [fn]whirlwind ^H5591 and said ^H559,

“Now ^H4994 gird ^H247 up ^H247 your loins ^H2504 like a man ^H1397;

I will ask ^H7592 you, and you make Me know ^H3045.

“Will you really ^H637 annul ^H6565 My judgment ^H4941?

Will you condemn ^H7561 Me that you may be justified ^H6663?

“Or ^H518 do you have an arm ^H2220 like God ^H410,

And can you thunder ^H7481 with a voice ^H6963 like ^H3644 His?

“Adorn ^H5710 yourself ^H5710 with exaltation ^H1347 and loftiness ^H1363,

And clothe ^H3847 yourself ^H3847 with splendor ^H1935 and majesty ^H1926.

“Pour ^H6327 out the overflowings ^H5678 of your anger ^H639,

And look ^H7200 on everyone ^H3605 who is proud ^H1343, and make ^H8213 him low ^H8213.

“Look ^H7200 on everyone ^H3605 who is proud ^H1343, and humble ^H3665 him,

And tread ^H1915 down ^H1915 the wicked ^H7563 [fn]in ^H8478 their place ^H8478.

“Hide ^H2934 them in the dust ^H6083 together ^H3162;

Bind ^H2280 their faces in the hidden ^H2934 place.

“Then I will also ^H1571 praise ^H3034 you,

That your own right ^H3225 hand ^H3225 can save ^H3467 you.

“Behold ^H2009 now ^H4994, [fn]Behemoth ^H930, which ^H834 I made ^H6213 along ^H5973 with ^H5973 you;

It eats ^H398 grass ^H2682 like an ox ^H1241.

“Behold ^H2009 now ^H4994, its power ^H3581 in its loins ^H4975

And its vigor ^H202 in the muscles ^H8306 of its belly ^H990.

“It hangs ^H2654 its tail ^H2180 like ^H3644 a cedar ^H730;

The sinews ^H1517 of its thighs ^H6344 are knit ^H8276 together ^H8276.

“Its bones ^H6106 are tubes ^H650 of bronze ^H5154;

Its [fn]limbs ^H1634 are like bars ^H4300 of iron ^H1270.

“It is the first ^H7225 of the ways ^H1870 of God ^H410;

Let its Maker ^H6213 bring ^H5066 near ^H5066 its sword ^H2719.

“Surely ^H5608 the mountains ^H2022 bring ^H5375 it food ^H944,

And all ^H3605 the beasts ^H2416 of the field ^H7704 play ^H7832 there ^H8033.

“Under ^H8478 the lotus ^H6628 plants ^H6628 it lies ^H7901 down ^H7901,

In the hidden ^H5643 place ^H5643 of the reeds ^H7070 and the marsh ^H1207.

“The lotus ^H6628 plants ^H6628 cover ^H5526 it with [fn]shade ^H6738;

The willows ^H6155 of the brook ^H5158 surround ^H5437 it.

“If ^H2005 a river ^H5104 oppresses ^H6231, it is ^H2648 not alarmed ^H2648;

It is ^H982 secure ^H982, though ^H3588 the Jordan ^H3383 bursts ^H1518 forth ^H1518 to its mouth ^H6310.

“Can anyone capture ^H3947 it before its eyes ^H5869,

With snares ^H4170 can anyone pierce ^H5344 its nose ^H639?
