1 耶和华又对约伯说,
2 强辩的岂可与全能者争论吗?与神辩驳的可以回答这些吧。
3 于是,约伯回答耶和华说,
4 我是卑贱的。我用什么回答你呢?只好用手捂口。
5 我说了一次,再不回答。说了两次,就不再说。
6 于是,耶和华从旋风中回答约伯说,
7 你要如勇士束腰。我问你,你可以指示我。
8 你岂可废弃我所拟定的。岂可定我有罪,好显自己为义吗?
9 你有神那样的膀臂吗?你能像他发雷声吗?
10 你要以荣耀庄严为妆饰,以尊荣威严为衣服。
11 要发出你满溢的怒气,见一切骄傲的人,使他降卑。
12 见一切骄傲的人,将他制伏,把恶人践踏在本处。
13 将他们一同隐藏在尘土中,把他们的脸蒙蔽在隐密处。
14 我就认你右手能以救自己。
15 你且观看河马。我造你也造它。它吃草与牛一样。
16 它的气力在腰间,能力在肚腹的筋上。
17 它摇动尾巴如香柏树。它大腿的筋互相联络。
18 它的骨头好像铜管。它的肢体仿佛铁棍。
19 它在神所造的物中为首。创造它的给它刀剑。
20 诸山给它出食物,也是百兽游玩之处。
21 它伏在莲叶之下,卧在芦苇隐密处和水洼子里。
22 莲叶的阴凉遮蔽它。溪旁的柳树环绕它。
23 河水泛滥,它不发战。就是约旦河的水涨到它口边,也是安然。
24 在它防备的时候,谁能捉拿它?谁能牢笼它穿它的鼻子呢?
King James Version
Chapter 40
40:1 Moreover the LORD answered Job, and said,
40:2 Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproveth God, let him answer it.
40:3 Then Job answered the LORD, and said,
40:4 Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay mine hand upon my mouth.
40:5 Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea, twice; but I will proceed no further.
40:6 Then answered the LORD unto 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 unto me.
40:8 Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous?
40:9 Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice like him?
40:10 Deck thyself now with majesty and excellency; and array thyself with glory and beauty.
40:11 Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and behold every one that is proud, and abase him.
40:12 Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place.
40:13 Hide them in the dust together; and bind their faces in secret.
40:14 Then will I also confess unto thee that thine own right hand can save thee.
40:15 Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.
40:16 Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.
40:17 He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.
40:18 His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.
40:19 He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him.
40:20 Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.
40:21 He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.
40:22 The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.
40:23 Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.
40:24 He taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth through snares.
