Job 38:1--41:34

Then the LORD
<03068>
answered
<06030> (8799)
Job
<0347>
out of the whirlwind
<05591>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Who [is] this that darkeneth
<02821> (8688)
counsel
<06098>
by words
<04405>
without knowledge
<01847>_?
Gird up
<0247> (8798)
now thy loins
<02504>
like a man
<01397>_;
for I will demand
<07592> (8799)
of thee, and answer
<03045> (8685)
thou me. {answer...: Heb. make me know}
Where
<0375>
wast thou when I laid the foundations
<03245> (8800)
of the earth
<0776>_?
declare
<05046> (8685)_,
if thou hast
<03045> (8804)
understanding
<0998>_.
{hast...: Heb. knowest understanding}
Who hath laid
<07760> (8804)
the measures
<04461>
thereof, if thou knowest
<03045> (8799)_?
or who hath stretched
<05186> (8804)
the line
<06957>
upon it?
Whereupon are the foundations
<0134>
thereof fastened
<02883> (8717)_?
or who laid
<03384> (8804)
the corner
<06438>
stone
<068>
thereof; {foundations: Heb. sockets} {fastened: Heb. made to sink?}
When the morning
<01242>
stars
<03556>
sang
<07442> (8800)
together
<03162>_,
and all the sons
<01121>
of God
<0430>
shouted
<07321> (8686)
for joy?
Or [who] shut up
<05526> (8686)
the sea
<03220>
with doors
<01817>_,
when it brake forth
<01518> (8800)_,
[as if] it had issued out
<03318> (8799)
of the womb
<07358>_?
When I made
<07760> (8800)
the cloud
<06051>
the garment
<03830>
thereof, and thick darkness
<06205>
a swaddlingband
<02854>
for it,
And brake up
<07665> (8799)
for it my decreed
<02706>
[place], and set
<07760> (8799)
bars
<01280>
and doors
<01817>_,
{brake...: or, established my decree upon it}
And said
<0559> (8799)_,
Hitherto
<05704> <06311>
shalt thou come
<0935> (8799)_,
but no further
<03254> (8686)_:
and here shall thy proud
<01347>
waves
<01530>
be stayed
<07896> (8799)_?
{thy...: Heb. the pride of thy waves}
Hast thou commanded
<06680> (8765)
the morning
<01242>
since thy days
<03117>_;
[and] caused the dayspring
<07837>
to know
<03045> (8765)
his place
<04725>_;
That it might take hold
<0270> (8800)
of the ends
<03671>
of the earth
<0776>_,
that the wicked
<07563>
might be shaken out
<05287> (8735)
of it? {ends: Heb. wings}
It is turned
<02015> (8691)
as clay
<02563>
[to] the seal
<02368>_;
and they stand
<03320> (8691)
as a garment
<03830>_.
And from the wicked
<07563>
their light
<0216>
is withholden
<04513> (8735)_,
and the high
<07311> (8802)
arm
<02220>
shall be broken
<07665> (8735)_.
Hast thou entered
<0935> (8804)
into the springs
<05033>
of the sea
<03220>_?
or hast thou walked
<01980> (8694)
in the search
<02714>
of the depth
<08415>_?
Have the gates
<08179>
of death
<04194>
been opened
<01540> (8738)
unto thee? or hast thou seen
<07200> (8799)
the doors
<08179>
of the shadow of death
<06757>_?
Hast thou perceived
<0995> (8712)
the breadth
<07338>
of the earth
<0776>_?
declare
<05046> (8685)
if thou knowest
<03045> (8804)
it all.
Where [is] the way
<01870>
[where] light
<0216>
dwelleth
<07931> (8799)_?
and [as for] darkness
<02822>_,
where [is] the place
<04725>
thereof,
That thou shouldest take
<03947> (8799)
it to the bound
<01366>
thereof, and that thou shouldest know
<0995> (8799)
the paths
<05410>
[to] the house
<01004>
thereof? {to the bound: or, at, etc}
Knowest
<03045> (8804)
thou [it], because thou wast then born
<03205> (8735)_?
or [because] the number
<04557>
of thy days
<03117>
[is] great
<07227>_?
Hast thou entered
<0935> (8804)
into the treasures
<0214>
of the snow
<07950>_?
or hast thou seen
<07200> (8799)
the treasures
<0214>
of the hail
<01259>_,
Which I have reserved
<02820> (8804)
against the time
<06256>
of trouble
<06862>_,
against the day
<03117>
of battle
<07128>
and war
<04421>_?
By what
<0335>
way
<01870>
is the light
<0216>
parted
<02505> (8735)_,
[which] scattereth
<06327> (8686)
the east wind
<06921>
upon the earth
<0776>_?
Who hath divided
<06385> (8765)
a watercourse
<08585>
for the overflowing of waters
<07858>_,
or a way
<01870>
for the lightning
<02385>
of thunder
<06963>_;
To cause it to rain
<04305> (8687)
on the earth
<0776>_,
[where] no man
<0376>
[is; on] the wilderness
<04057>_,
wherein [there is] no man
<0120>_;
To satisfy
<07646> (8687)
the desolate
<07722>
and waste
<04875>
[ground]; and to cause the bud
<04161>
of the tender herb
<01877>
to spring forth
<06779> (8687)_?
Hath
<03426>
the rain
<04306>
a father
<01>_?
or who hath begotten
<03205> (8689)
the drops
<096>
of dew
<02919>_?
Out of whose womb
<0990>
came
<03318> (8804)
the ice
<07140>_?
and the hoary frost
<03713>
of heaven
<08064>_,
who hath gendered
<03205> (8804)
it?
The waters
<04325>
are hid
<02244> (8691)
as [with] a stone
<068>_,
and the face
<06440>
of the deep
<08415>
is frozen
<03920> (8691)_.
{is...: Heb. is taken}
Canst thou bind
<07194> (8762)
the sweet influences
<04575>
of Pleiades
<03598>_,
or loose
<06605> (8762)
the bands
<04189>
of Orion
<03685>_?
{Pleiades: or, the seven stars: Heb. Cimah} {Orion: Heb. Cesil?}
Canst thou bring forth
<03318> (8686)
Mazzaroth
<04216>
in his season
<06256>_?
or canst thou guide
<05148> (8686)
Arcturus
<05906>
with his sons
<01121>_?
{Mazzaroth: or, the twelve signs} {guide: Heb. guide them}
Knowest
<03045> (8804)
thou the ordinances
<02708>
of heaven
<08064>_?
canst thou set
<07760> (8799)
the dominion
<04896>
thereof in the earth
<0776>_?
Canst thou lift up
<07311> (8686)
thy voice
<06963>
to the clouds
<05645>_,
that abundance
<08229>
of waters
<04325>
may cover
<03680> (8762)
thee?
Canst thou send
<07971> (8762)
lightnings
<01300>_,
that they may go
<03212> (8799)_,
and say
<0559> (8799)
unto thee, Here we [are]? {Here...: Heb. Behold us?}
Who hath put
<07896> (8804)
wisdom
<02451>
in the inward parts
<02910>_?
or who hath given
<05414> (8804)
understanding
<0998>
to the heart
<07907>_?
Who can number
<05608> (8762)
the clouds
<07834>
in wisdom
<02451>_?
or who can stay
<07901> (8686)
the bottles
<05035>
of heaven
<08064>_,
{stay: Heb. cause to lie down}
When the dust
<06083>
groweth
<03332> (8800)
into hardness
<04165>_,
and the clods
<07263>
cleave fast together
<01692> (8792)_?
{groweth...: or, is turned into mire: Heb. is poured}
Wilt thou hunt
<06679> (8799)
the prey
<02964>
for the lion
<03833>_?
or fill
<04390> (8762)
the appetite
<02416>
of the young lions
<03715>_,
{the appetite: Heb. the life}
When they couch
<07817> (8799)
in [their] dens
<04585>_,
[and] abide
<03427> (8799)
in the covert
<05521>
to
<03926>
lie in wait
<0695>_?
Who provideth
<03559> (8686)
for the raven
<06158>
his food
<06718>_?
when his young ones
<03206>
cry
<07768> (8762)
unto God
<0410>_,
they wander
<08582> (8799)
for lack
<01097>
of meat
<0400>_.
Knowest
<03045> (8804)
thou the time
<06256>
when the wild goats
<03277>
of the rock
<05553>
bring forth
<03205> (8800)_?
[or] canst thou mark
<08104> (8799)
when the hinds
<0355>
do calve
<02342> (8790)_?
Canst thou number
<05608> (8799)
the months
<03391>
[that] they fulfil
<04390> (8762)_?
or knowest
<03045> (8804)
thou the time
<06256>
when they bring forth
<03205> (8800)_?
They bow
<03766> (8799)
themselves, they bring forth
<06398> (8762)
their young ones
<03206>_,
they cast out
<07971> (8762)
their sorrows
<02256>_.
Their young ones
<01121>
are in good liking
<02492> (8799)_,
they grow up
<07235> (8799)
with corn
<01250>_;
they go forth
<03318> (8804)_,
and return
<07725> (8804)
not unto them.
Who hath sent out
<07971> (8765)
the wild ass
<06501>
free
<02670>_?
or who hath loosed
<06605> (8765)
the bands
<04147>
of the wild ass
<06171>_?
Whose house
<01004>
I have made
<07760> (8804)
the wilderness
<06160>_,
and the barren
<04420>
land his dwellings
<04908>_.
{barren...: Heb. salt places}
He scorneth
<07832> (8799)
the multitude
<01995>
of the city
<07151>_,
neither regardeth
<08085> (8799)
he the crying
<08663>
of the driver
<05065> (8802)_.
{of the driver: Heb. of the exactor}
The range
<03491>
of the mountains
<02022>
[is] his pasture
<04829>_,
and he searcheth
<01875> (8799)
after
<0310>
every green thing
<03387>_.
Will the unicorn
<07214>
be willing
<014> (8799)
to serve
<05647> (8800)
thee, or abide
<03885> (8799)
by thy crib
<018>_?
Canst thou bind
<07194> (8799)
the unicorn
<07214>
with his band
<05688>
in the furrow
<08525>_?
or will he harrow
<07702> (8762)
the valleys
<06010>
after
<0310>
thee?
Wilt thou trust
<0982> (8799)
him, because his strength
<03581>
[is] great
<07227>_?
or wilt thou leave
<05800> (8799)
thy labour
<03018>
to him?
Wilt thou believe
<0539> (8686)
him, that he will bring home
<07725> (8686) (8675) <07725> (8799)
thy seed
<02233>_,
and gather
<0622> (8799)
[it into] thy barn
<01637>_?
[Gavest thou] the goodly
<07443>
wings
<03671>
unto the peacocks
<05965> (8738)_?
or wings
<084>
and feathers
<02624>
unto the ostrich
<05133>_?
{wings and...: or, the feathers of the stork and ostrich}
Which leaveth
<05800> (8799)
her eggs
<01000>
in the earth
<0776>_,
and warmeth
<02552> (8762)
them in dust
<06083>_,
And forgetteth
<07911> (8799)
that the foot
<07272>
may crush
<02115> (8799)
them, or that the wild
<07704>
beast
<02416>
may break
<01758> (8799)
them.
She is hardened
<07188> (8689)
against her young ones
<01121>_,
as though [they were] not
<03808>
hers: her labour
<03018>
is in vain
<07385>
without fear
<06343>_;
Because God
<0433>
hath deprived
<05382> (8689)
her of wisdom
<02451>_,
neither hath he imparted
<02505> (8804)
to her understanding
<0998>_.
What time
<06256>
she lifteth up
<04754> (8686)
herself on high
<04791>_,
she scorneth
<07832> (8799)
the horse
<05483>
and his rider
<07392> (8802)_.
Hast thou given
<05414> (8799)
the horse
<05483>
strength
<01369>_?
hast thou clothed
<03847> (8686)
his neck
<06677>
with thunder
<07483>_?
Canst thou make him afraid
<07493> (8686)
as a grasshopper
<0697>_?
the glory
<01935>
of his nostrils
<05170>
[is] terrible
<0367>_.
{terrible: Heb. terror}
He paweth
<02658> (8799)
in the valley
<06010>_,
and rejoiceth
<07797> (8799)
in [his] strength
<03581>_:
he goeth on
<03318> (8799)
to meet
<07125> (8800)
the armed men
<05402>_.
{He paweth: or, His feet dig} {the armed...: Heb. the armour}
He mocketh
<07832> (8799)
at fear
<06343>_,
and is not affrighted
<02865> (8735)_;
neither turneth he back
<07725> (8799)
from
<06440>
the sword
<02719>_.
The quiver
<0827>
rattleth
<07439> (8799)
against him, the glittering
<03851>
spear
<02595>
and the shield
<03591>_.
He swalloweth
<01572> (8762)
the ground
<0776>
with fierceness
<07494>
and rage
<07267>_:
neither believeth
<0539> (8686)
he that [it is] the sound
<06963>
of the trumpet
<07782>_.
He saith
<0559> (8799)
among
<01767>
the trumpets
<07782>_,
Ha
<01889>_,
ha
<01889>_;
and he smelleth
<07306> (8686)
the battle
<04421>
afar off
<07350>_,
the thunder
<07482>
of the captains
<08269>_,
and the shouting
<08643>_.
Doth the hawk
<05322>
fly
<082> (8686)
by thy wisdom
<0998>_,
[and] stretch
<06566> (8799)
her wings
<03671>
toward the south
<08486>_?
Doth the eagle
<05404>
mount up
<01361> (8686)
at thy command
<06310>_,
and make
<07311> (0)
her nest
<07064>
on high
<07311> (8686)_?
{at...: Heb. by thy mouth}
She dwelleth
<07931> (8799)
and abideth
<03885> (8698)
on the rock
<05553>_,
upon the crag
<08127>
of the rock
<05553>_,
and the strong place
<04686>_.
From thence she seeketh
<02658> (8804)
the prey
<0400>_,
[and] her eyes
<05869>
behold
<05027> (8686)
afar off
<07350>_.
Her young ones
<0667>
also suck up
<05966> (8762)
blood
<01818>_:
and where the slain
<02491>
[are], there [is] she
<01931>_.
Moreover the LORD
<03068>
answered
<06030> (8799)
Job
<0347>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Shall he that contendeth
<07378> (8800)
with the Almighty
<07706>
instruct
<03250>
[him]? he that reproveth
<03198> (8688)
God
<0433>_,
let him answer
<06030> (8799)
it.
Then Job
<0347>
answered
<06030> (8799)
the LORD
<03068>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Behold, I am vile
<07043> (8804)_;
what shall I answer
<07725> (8686)
thee? I will lay
<07760> (8804)
mine hand
<03027>
upon
<03926>
my mouth
<06310>_.
Once
<0259>
have I spoken
<01696> (8765)_;
but I will not answer
<06030> (8799)_:
yea, twice
<08147>_;
but I will proceed no further
<03254> (8686)_.
Then answered
<06030> (8799)
the LORD
<03068>
unto Job
<0347>
out of the whirlwind
<05591>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Gird up
<0247> (8798)
thy loins
<02504>
now like a man
<01397>_:
I will demand
<07592> (8799)
of thee, and declare
<03045> (8685)
thou unto me.
Wilt thou also disannul
<06565> (8686)
my judgment
<04941>_?
wilt thou condemn
<07561> (8686)
me, that thou mayest be righteous
<06663> (8799)_?
Hast thou an arm
<02220>
like God
<0410>_?
or canst thou thunder
<07481> (8686)
with a voice
<06963>
like him?
Deck
<05710> (8798)
thyself now [with] majesty
<01347>
and excellency
<01363>_;
and array
<03847> (8799)
thyself with glory
<01935>
and beauty
<01926>_.
Cast abroad
<06327> (8685)
the rage
<05678>
of thy wrath
<0639>_:
and behold
<07200> (8798)
every one [that is] proud
<01343>_,
and abase
<08213> (8685)
him.
Look
<07200> (8798)
on every one [that is] proud
<01343>_,
[and] bring him low
<03665> (8685)_;
and tread down
<01915> (8798)
the wicked
<07563>
in their place.
Hide
<02934> (8798)
them in the dust
<06083>
together
<03162>_;
[and] bind
<02280> (8798)
their faces
<06440>
in secret
<02934> (8803)_.
Then will I also confess
<03034> (8686)
unto thee that thine own right hand
<03225>
can save
<03467> (8686)
thee.
Behold now behemoth
<0930>_,
which I made
<06213> (8804)
with thee; he eateth
<0398> (8799)
grass
<02682>
as an ox
<01241>_.
{behemoth: probably an extinct animal of some kind}
Lo now, his strength
<03581>
[is] in his loins
<04975>_,
and his force
<0202>
[is] in the navel
<08306>
of his belly
<0990>_.
He moveth
<02654> (8799)
his tail
<02180>
like a cedar
<0730>_:
the sinews
<01517>
of his stones
<06344>
are wrapped together
<08276> (8792)_.
{He...: or, He setteth up}
His bones
<06106>
[are as] strong
<0650>
pieces of brass
<05154>_;
his bones
<01634>
[are] like bars
<04300>
of iron
<01270>_.
He [is] the chief
<07225>
of the ways
<01870>
of God
<0410>_:
he that made
<06213> (8802)
him can make
<05066> (0)
his sword
<02719>
to approach
<05066> (8686)
[unto him].
Surely the mountains
<02022>
bring him forth
<05375> (8799)
food
<0944>_,
where all the beasts
<02416>
of the field
<07704>
play
<07832> (8762)_.
He lieth
<07901> (8799)
under the shady trees
<06628>_,
in the covert
<05643>
of the reed
<07070>_,
and fens
<01207>_.
The shady trees
<06628>
cover
<05526> (8799)
him [with] their shadow
<06752>_;
the willows
<06155>
of the brook
<05158>
compass him about
<05437> (8799)_.
Behold, he drinketh up
<06231> (8799)
a river
<05104>_,
[and] hasteth
<02648> (8799)
not: he trusteth
<0982> (8799)
that he can draw up
<01518> (8799)
Jordan
<03383>
into his mouth
<06310>_.
{he drinketh up: Heb. he oppresseth}
He taketh
<03947> (8799)
it with his eyes
<05869>_:
[his] nose
<0639>
pierceth through
<05344> (8799)
snares
<04170>_.
{He...: or, Will any take him in his sight, or, bore his nose with a gin?}
Canst thou draw out
<04900> (8799)
leviathan
<03882>
with an hook
<02443>_?
or his tongue
<03956>
with a cord
<02256>
[which] thou lettest down
<08257> (8686)_?
{leviathan: probably an extinct animal of some kind} {which...: Heb. which thou drownest?}
Canst thou put
<07760> (8799)
an hook
<0100>
into his nose
<0639>_?
or bore
<05344> (8799)
his jaw
<03895>
through with a thorn
<02336>_?
Will he make many
<07235> (8686)
supplications
<08469>
unto thee? will he speak
<01696> (8762)
soft
<07390>
[words] unto thee?
Will he make
<03772> (8799)
a covenant
<01285>
with thee? wilt thou take
<03947> (8799)
him for a servant
<05650>
for ever
<05769>_?
Wilt thou play
<07832> (8762)
with him as [with] a bird
<06833>_?
or wilt thou bind
<07194> (8799)
him for thy maidens
<05291>_?
Shall the companions
<02271>
make a banquet
<03739> (8799)
of him? shall they part
<02673> (8799)
him among the merchants
<03669>_?
Canst thou fill
<04390> (8762)
his skin
<05785>
with barbed irons
<07905>_?
or his head
<07218>
with fish
<01709>
spears
<06767>_?
Lay
<07760> (8798)
thine hand
<03709>
upon him, remember
<02142> (8798)
the battle
<04421>_,
do no more
<03254> (8686)_.
Behold, the hope
<08431>
of him is in vain
<03576> (8738)_:
shall not [one] be cast down
<02904> (8714)
even at the sight
<04758>
of him?
None [is so] fierce
<0393>
that dare stir him up
<05782> (8799) (8675) <05782> (8686)_:
who then is able to stand
<03320> (8691)
before
<06440>
me?
Who hath prevented
<06923> (8689)
me, that I should repay
<07999> (8762)
[him? whatsoever is] under the whole heaven
<08064>
is mine.
I will not conceal
<02790> (8686)
his parts
<0907>_,
nor his power
<01369> <01697>_,
nor his comely
<02433>
proportion
<06187>_.
Who can discover
<01540> (8765)
the face
<06440>
of his garment
<03830>_?
[or] who can come
<0935> (8799)
[to him] with his double
<03718>
bridle
<07448>_?
{with: or, within}
Who can open
<06605> (8765)
the doors
<01817>
of his face
<06440>_?
his teeth
<08127>
[are] terrible
<0367>
round about
<05439>_.
[His] scales
<04043> <0650>
[are his] pride
<01346>_,
shut up together
<05462> (8803)
[as with] a close
<06862>
seal
<02368>_.
{scales: Heb. strong pieces of shields}
One
<0259>
is so near
<05066> (8799)
to another
<0259>_,
that no air
<07307>
can come
<0935> (8799)
between them.
They are joined
<01692> (8792)
one
<0376>
to another
<0251>_,
they stick together
<03920> (8691)_,
that they cannot be sundered
<06504> (8691)_.
By his neesings
<05846>
a light
<0216>
doth shine
<01984> (8686)_,
and his eyes
<05869>
[are] like the eyelids
<06079>
of the morning
<07837>_.
Out of his mouth
<06310>
go
<01980> (8799)
burning lamps
<03940>_,
[and] sparks
<03590>
of fire
<0784>
leap out
<04422> (8691)_.
Out of his nostrils
<05156>
goeth
<03318> (8799)
smoke
<06227>_,
as [out] of a seething
<05301> (8803)
pot
<01731>
or caldron
<0100>_.
His breath
<05315>
kindleth
<03857> (8762)
coals
<01513>_,
and a flame
<03851>
goeth out
<03318> (8799)
of his mouth
<06310>_.
In his neck
<06677>
remaineth
<03885> (8799)
strength
<05797>_,
and sorrow
<01670>
is turned into joy
<01750> (8799)
before
<06440>
him. {is turned into joy: Heb. rejoiceth}
The flakes
<04651>
of his flesh
<01320>
are joined together
<01692> (8804)_:
they are firm
<03332> (8803)
in themselves; they cannot be moved
<04131> (8735)_.
{flakes: Heb. fallings}
His heart
<03820>
is as firm
<03332> (8803)
as a stone
<068>_;
yea, as hard
<03332> (8803)
as a piece
<06400>
of the nether
<08482>
[millstone].
When he raiseth up
<07613>
himself, the mighty
<0352>
are afraid
<01481> (8799)_:
by reason of breakings
<07667>
they purify
<02398> (8691)
themselves.
The sword
<02719>
of him that layeth
<05381> (8688)
at him cannot hold
<06965> (8799)_:
the spear
<02595>_,
the dart
<04551>_,
nor the habergeon
<08302>_.
{habergeon: or, breastplate}
He esteemeth
<02803> (8799)
iron
<01270>
as straw
<08401>_,
[and] brass
<05154>
as rotten
<07539>
wood
<06086>_.
The arrow
<01121> <07198>
cannot make him flee
<01272> (8686)_:
slingstones
<068> <07050>
are turned
<02015> (8738)
with him into stubble
<07179>_.
Darts
<08455>
are counted
<02803> (8738)
as stubble
<07179>_:
he laugheth
<07832> (8799)
at the shaking
<07494>
of a spear
<03591>_.
Sharp
<02303>
stones
<02789>
[are] under him: he spreadeth
<07502> (8799)
sharp pointed things
<02742>
upon the mire
<02916>_.
{Sharp stones: Heb. Sharp pieces of potsherd}
He maketh the deep
<04688>
to boil
<07570> (8686)
like a pot
<05518>_:
he maketh
<07760> (8799)
the sea
<03220>
like a pot of ointment
<04841>_.
He maketh a path
<05410>
to shine
<0215> (8686)
after
<0310>
him; [one] would think
<02803> (8799)
the deep
<08415>
[to be] hoary
<07872>_.
Upon earth
<06083>
there is not his like
<04915>_,
who is made
<06213> (8803)
without
<01097>
fear
<02844>_.
{is made without fear: or, behave themselves without fear}
He beholdeth
<07200> (8799)
all high
<01364>
[things]: he [is] a king
<04428>
over all the children
<01121>
of pride
<07830>_.
