Iyov 40:1-11 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

1. Moreover Hashem answered Iyov, and said,

2. Shall he that contendeth with Shaddai correct him? The mokhiach Eloah (rebuker of G-d), let him answer it.

3. Then Iyov answered Hashem, and said,

4. See, I am vile; what shall I answer Thee? I will lay mine yad upon my mouth.

5. Once have I spoken, but I will not answer; yea, shtayim (twice), but I will proceed no further.

6. Then answered Hashem unto Iyov out of the whirlwind, and said,

7. Gird up thy loins now like a gever. I will question thee, and thou shall answer Me.

8. Wilt thou also annul My mishpat (justice)? Wilt thou condemn Me, that thou mayest be justified?

9. Hast thou a zero'a like El? Or canst thou thunder with a kol (voice) like Him?

10. Adorn thyself now with majesty and excellency; and array thyself with hod (glory) and hadar (splendor).

11. Unleash thy evrot af (furious wrath); and behold every one that is proud, and bring him low.
