Job 40 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

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

Let him who rebukes ^H3198 God ^H433 [fn]give ^H6030 an answer ^H6030.”

Then Job ^H347 answered ^H6030 the LORD ^H3068 and said ^H559,

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

I put ^H7760 my hand ^H3027 on my mouth ^H6310.

“I have spoken ^H1696 once ^H259, and I will not reply ^H6030;

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

Then the LORD ^H3068 answered ^H6030 Job ^H347 from the whirlwind ^H5591 and said ^H559,

“Now ^H4994 [fn]tighten ^H247 the ^H247 belt ^H247 on your waist ^H2504 like a man ^H1397;

I will ask ^H7592 you, and you instruct ^H3045 Me.

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

Will you condemn ^H7561 Me so ^H4616 that ^H4616 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 pride ^H1347 and dignity ^H1363,

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

“Let ^H6327 out ^H6327 your outbursts ^H5678 of anger ^H639,

And look ^H7200 at everyone ^H3605 who is arrogant ^H1343, and humble ^H8213 him.

“Look ^H7200 at everyone ^H3605 who is arrogant ^H1343, and humble ^H3665 him,

And trample ^H1915 down ^H1915 the wicked ^H7563 [fn]where ^H8478 they stand ^H8478.

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

Imprison ^H2280 [fn]them in the hidden ^H2934 place.

“Then I will also ^H1571 [fn]confess ^H3034 to you,

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

“Behold ^H2009, [fn]Behemoth ^H930, which ^H834 I made ^H6213 [fn]as ^H5973 well ^H5973 as ^H5973 you;

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

“Behold ^H2009, his strength ^H3581 in his waist ^H4975,

And his power ^H202 in the muscles ^H8306 of his belly ^H990.

“He hangs ^H2654 his tail ^H2180 like ^H3644 a cedar ^H730;

The tendons ^H1517 of his thighs ^H6344 are knit ^H8276 together ^H8276.

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

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

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

Let his Maker ^H6213 bring ^H5066 His sword ^H2719 near ^H5066.

“Indeed ^H3588 the [fn]mountains ^H2022 bring ^H5375 him food ^H944,

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

“He lies ^H7901 down ^H7901 under ^H8478 the lotus ^H6628 plants ^H6628,

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

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

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

“If ^H2005 a river ^H5104 [fn]rages ^H6231, he is ^H2648 not alarmed ^H2648;

He is ^H982 confident ^H982, though ^H3588 the Jordan ^H3383 rushes ^H1518 to his mouth ^H6310.

“Can anyone capture ^H3947 him [fn]when he is on watch ^H5869,

Can anyone pierce ^H5344 his nose ^H639 with barbs ^H4170?
