[1] Moreover Yahweh answered Job,
[2] “Shall he who argues contend with the Almighty?
He who argues with God, let him answer it.” [3] Then Job answered Yahweh,
[4] “Behold, I am of small account. What will I answer you?
I lay my hand on my mouth.
[5] I have spoken once, and I will not answer;
Yes, twice, but I will proceed no further.” [6] Then Yahweh answered Job out of the whirlwind:
[7] “Now brace yourself like a man.
I will question you, and you will answer me.
[8] Will you even annul my judgment?
Will you condemn me, that you may be justified?
[9] Or do you have an arm like God?
Can you thunder with a voice like him? [10] “Now deck yourself with excellency and dignity.
Array yourself with honor and majesty.
[11] Pour out the fury of your anger.
Look at everyone who is proud, and bring him low.
[12] Look at everyone who is proud, and humble him.
Crush the wicked in their place.
[13] Hide them in the dust together.
Bind their faces in the hidden place.
[14] Then I will also admit to you
that your own right hand can save you. [15] “See now behemoth, which I made as well as you.
He eats grass as an ox.
[16] Look now, his strength is in his thighs.
His force is in the muscles of his belly.
[17] He moves his tail like a cedar.
The sinews of his thighs are knit together.
[18] His bones are like tubes of bronze.
His limbs are like bars of iron. [19] He is the chief of the ways of God.
He who made him gives him his sword.
[20] Surely the mountains produce food for him,
where all the animals of the field play.
[21] He lies under the lotus trees,
in the covert of the reed, and the marsh.
[22] The lotuses cover him with their shade.
The willows of the brook surround him.
[23] Behold, if a river overflows, he doesn’t tremble.
He is confident, though the Jordan swells even to his mouth.
[24] Shall any take him when he is on the watch,
or pierce through his nose with a snare?
King James Version
[1] Moreover the Lord H3068 answered H6030 H853 Job, H347 and said, H559
[2] Shall he that contendeth H7378 with H5973 the Almighty H7706 instruct H3250 him?
He that reproveth H3198 God, H433 let him answer H6030 it.

Job’s Reply

[3] Then Job H347 answered H6030 H853 the Lord, H3068 and said, H559
[4] Behold, I am vile; H7043 what H4100 shall I answer H7725 thee?
I will lay H7760 mine hand H3027 upon H3926 my mouth. H6310
[5] Once H259 have I spoken; H1696 but I will not answer: H6030
Yea, twice; H8147 but I will proceed no further. H3254

The Lord’s Answer

[6] Then answered H6030 the Lord H3068 H853 unto Job H347 out of H4480 the whirlwind, H5591 and said, H559
[7] Gird up H247 thy loins H2504 now like a man: H1397
I will demand H7592 of thee, and declare H3045 thou unto me.
[8] Wilt thou also disannul H6565 my judgment? H4941
Wilt thou condemn H7561 me, that thou mayest be righteous? H6663
[9] Hast thou an arm H2220 like God? H410
Or canst thou thunder H7481 with a voice H6963 like him?
[10] Deck H5710 thyself now with majesty H1347 and excellency; H1363
And array H3847 thyself with glory H1935 and beauty. H1926
[11] Cast abroad H6327 the rage H5678 of thy wrath: H639
And behold H7200 every one that is proud, H1343 and abase H8213 him.
[12] Look H7200 on every one that is proud, H1343 and bring him low; H3665
And tread down H1915 the wicked H7563 in their place.
[13] Hide H2934 them in the dust H6083 together; H3162
And bind H2280 their faces H6440 in secret. H2934
[14] Then will I also confess H3034 unto thee
That thine own right hand H3225 can save H3467 thee.
[15] Behold H2009 now behemoth, H930§
Which H834 I made H6213 with H5973 thee;
He eateth H398 grass H2682 as an ox. H1241
[16] Lo now, his strength H3581 is in his loins, H4975
And his force H202 is in the navel H8306 of his belly. H990
[17] He moveth H2654§ his tail H2180 like a cedar: H730
The sinews H1517 of his stones H6344 are wrapped together. H8276
[18] His bones H6106 are as strong H650 pieces of brass; H5154
His bones H1634 are like bars H4300 of iron. H1270
[19] He is the chief H7225 of the ways H1870 of God: H410
He that made H6213 him can make H5066 his sword H2719 to approach H5066 unto him.
[20] Surely H3588 the mountains H2022 bring him forth H5375 food, H944
Where all the beasts H2416 of the field H7704 play. H7832
[21] He lieth H7901 under the shady trees, H6628
In the covert H5643 of the reed, H7070 and fens. H1207
[22] The shady trees H6628 cover H5526 him with their shadow; H6752
The willows H6155 of the brook H5158 compass him about. H5437
[23] Behold, he drinketh§ up H6231 a river, H5104 and hasteth H2648 not:
He trusteth H982 that he can draw up H1518 Jordan H3383 into his mouth. H6310
[24] He taketh H3947 it with his eyes: H5869ⓘ
His nose H639 pierceth through H5344 snares. H4170
