Job Capítulo 40

40 : 1 Moreover Jehovah answered Job, and said,

40 : 2 Shall he who quibbles contend with the Almighty? He who argues with God, let him answer it.

40 : 3 Then Job answered Jehovah, and said,

40 : 4 Behold, I am of small account. What shall I answer thee? I lay my hand upon my mouth.

40 : 5 I have spoken once, and I will not answer, yes, twice, but I will proceed no further.

40 : 6 Then Jehovah answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,

40 : 7 Gird up thy loins now like a man. I will demand of thee, and declare thou to me.

40 : 8 Will thou even annul my judgment? Will thou condemn me, that thou may be justified?

40 : 9 Or have thou an arm like God? And can thou thunder with a voice like him?

40 : 10 Deck thyself now with excellency and dignity, and array thyself with honor and majesty.

40 : 11 Pour forth the overflowings of thine anger, and look upon everyone who is proud, and abase him.

40 : 12 Look on everyone who is proud, and bring him low, and tread down the wicked where they stand.

40 : 13 Hide them in the dust together. Bind their faces in the hidden place.

40 : 14 Then I will also confess of thee that thine own right hand can save thee.

40 : 15 Behold now behemoth, which I made as well as thee. He eats grass as an ox.

40 : 16 Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the muscles of his belly.

40 : 17 He moves his tail like a cedar. The sinews of his thighs are knit together.

40 : 18 His bones are as tubes of brass. His limbs are like bars of iron.

40 : 19 He is a beginning of the ways of God. He who made him gives him his sword.

40 : 20 Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.

40 : 21 He lies under the lotus trees, in the covert of the reed, and the fen.

40 : 22 The lotus trees cover him with their shade. The willows of the brook encompass him about.

40 : 23 Behold, if a river overflows, he does not tremble. He is confident though a Jordan swell even to his mouth.

40 : 24 Shall any take him when he is on the watch, or pierce through his nose with a snare?
