- 1
Moreover the LORD answered Job,
- 2
“Shall he who argues contend with the Almighty? He who argues with God, let him answer it.”
- 3
Then Job answered the LORD,
- 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 the LORD 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?

ENTONCES respondió Jehová á Job desde la oscuridad, y dijo:
- 2
Cíñete ahora como varón tus lomos; yo te preguntaré, y explícame.
- 3
¿Invalidarás tú también mi juicio? ¿me condenarás á mí, para justificarte á ti?
- 4
¿Tienes tú brazo como Dios? ¿y tronarás tú con voz como él?
- 5
Atavíate ahora de majestad y de alteza: y vístete de honra y de hermosura.
- 6
Esparce furores de tu ira: y mira á todo soberbio, y abátelo.
- 7
Mira á todo soberbio, y humíllalo, y quebranta á los impíos en su asiento.
- 8
Encúbrelos á todos en el polvo, venda sus rostros en la oscuridad;
- 9
Y yo también te confesaré que podrá salvarte tu diestra.
- 10
He aquí ahora behemoth, al cual yo hice contigo; hierba come como buey.
- 11
He aquí ahora que su fuerza está en sus lomos, y su fortaleza en el ombligo de su vientre.
- 12
Su cola mueve como un cedro, y los nervios de sus genitales son entretejidos.
- 13
Sus huesos son fuertes como bronce, y sus miembros como barras de hierro.
- 14
El es la cabeza de los caminos de Dios: el que lo hizo, puede hacer que su cuchillo á él se acerque.
- 15
Ciertamente los montes producen hierba para él: y toda bestia del campo retoza allá.
- 16
Echaráse debajo de las sombras, en lo oculto de las cañas, y de los lugares húmedos.
- 17
Los árboles sombríos lo cubren con su sombra; los sauces del arroyo lo cercan.
- 18
He aquí que él tomará el río sin inmutarse: y confíase que el Jordán pasará por su boca.
- 19
¿Tomarálo alguno por sus ojos en armadijos, y horadará su nariz?
