Iyov 40:4-15 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

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.

12. Look on every one that is proud, and humble him, and tread down the resha'im in their place.

13. Bury them in the aphar together; shroud their faces in the crypt.

14. Then odecha (will I confess, admit unto thee) that thine own right hand can save thee.

15. Hinei now behemot (hippopotamus), which I made along with thee; he eateth grass like an ox.
