Those who have no fear of God keep wrath stored up in their hearts; they give no cry for help when they are made prisoners.

Even so would he have allured thee out of the jaws of distress into a broad place, where there is no straitness; and the supply of thy table would be full of fatness.

Yet now you are obsessed with the judgment due the wicked;
judgment and justice have seized you.

“Be careful, do not turn to evil,
For you have preferred this to affliction.

“Who has appointed Him His way,
And who has said, ‘You have done wrong’?

Remember that thou magnify His work That men have beheld.

All men have looked on it, Man looketh attentively from afar.

He does wonders, more than may be searched out; great things of which we have no knowledge;

"When he commandeth the snow, it falleth upon the earth: As soon as he giveth the rain a charge, immediately the showers have their strength, and fall down.

Have you knowledge of God's ordering of his works, how he makes the light of his cloud to be seen?

Have you knowledge of the balancings of the clouds, the wonders of him who has all wisdom?

Have you with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten mirror?

How may he have knowledge of my desire for talk with him? or did any man ever say, May destruction come on me?

And now, they have not seen the light, Bright it is in the clouds, And the wind hath passed by and cleanseth them.

The Mighty! we have not found Him out, High in power and judgment, He doth not answer! And abundant in righteousness,

“Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth?
Tell Me, if you have understanding,

By whom were its measures fixed? Say, if you have wisdom; or by whom was the line stretched out over it?

On what have its sockets been sunk? Or who hath cast its corner-stone?

"Have you ever commanded the morning at any time during your life? Do you know where the dawn lives,

"Have you been to the source of the sea and walked about in the recesses of the deepest ocean?

Have the gates of death been revealed to you? Have you seen the gates of the deepest darkness?

“Have you understood the expanse of the earth?
Tell Me, if you know all this.

No doubt you have knowledge of it, for then you had come to birth, and the number of your days is great.

"Have you entered the storehouses of the snow or seen where the hail is stored,

That I have kept back for a time of distress, For a day of conflict and battle.

"Does the rain have a father? Who fathered the dew?

Have you knowledge of the laws of the heavens? did you give them rule over the earth?

Do you go after food for the she-lion, or get meat so that the young lions may have enough,

Have you knowledge of the rock-goats? or do you see the roes giving birth to their young?

They crouch, they bear their young, they bring forth the offspring they have carried.

Safe are their young ones, They grow up in the field, they have gone out, And have not returned to them.

Whose house I have made the wilderness, And his dwellings the barren land,

“Will you have faith in him that he will return your grain
And gather it from your threshing floor?

She treats her young harshly, as if they were not her own,
with no fear that her labor may have been in vain.

“Have you given the horse his might?
Have you clothed his neck with quivering and a shaking mane?

Have thou made him to leap as a locust? The glory of his snorting is awesome.

His young have blood for their drink, and where the dead bodies are, there is he to be seen.

Lo, I have been vile, What do I return to Thee? My hand I have placed on my mouth.

Once I have spoken, and I answer not, And twice, and I add not.

Do you have strength like God? Can you create thunder with a sound like he can?"

"When you have adorned yourself with exalted majesty, clothed yourself with splendor and dignity,

dispensed the fury of your anger, made sure that you have humbled every proud person,

"Look, Behemoth, which I have made just as [I made] you; it eats grass like the ox.

Will the fishermen make profit out of him? will they have him cut up for the traders?

Only put your hand on him, and see what a fight you will have; you will not do it again!

For when thou thinkest to have hold upon him, he shall beguile thee: Every man also that seeth him, shall go back.

“Who has first given to Me that I should repay him?
Whatever is under the whole heaven is Mine. [Who can have a claim against Me who made the unmastered beast?]

The flakes of his flesh have adhered -- Firm upon him -- it is not moved.

Whoever strikes it with a sword will have no effect, nor with the spear, arrow, or dart.

As stubble have darts been reckoned, And he laugheth at the shaking of a javelin.

He leaves a path shining after him; one would think the deep to have white hair.

“He looks on everything that is high [without terror];
He is monarch over all the sons of pride. [And now, Job, who are you who does not dare to disturb the beast, yet who dares resist Me, the beast’s creator? Everything under the heavens is Mine; therefore, who can have a claim against God?]”

Who is this, hiding counsel without knowledge?' Therefore, I have declared, and understand not, Too wonderful for me, and I know not.

‘Hear, please, and I will speak;
I will ask You, and You instruct [and answer] me.’

“I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear;
But now my eye sees You;

Therefore do I loathe it, And I have repented on dust and ashes.

And it cometh to pass after Jehovah's speaking these words unto Job, that Jehovah saith unto Eliphaz the Temanite, 'Burned hath Mine anger against thee, and against thy two friends, because ye have not spoken concerning Me rightly, like My servant Job.

And now, take to you seven bullocks and seven rams, and go ye unto My servant Job, and ye have caused a burnt-offering to ascend for you; and Job My servant doth pray for you, for surely his face I accept, so as not to do with you folly, because ye have not spoken concerning Me rightly, like My servant Job.

And, Yahweh, blessed the latter end of Job, more than his beginning, - and so he came to have fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she-asses.

And he came to have seven sons, and three daughters;
