Job 40:6-14
Names of God Bible
The Lord Speaks: Can You Be Like Me, Job?
6 Then Yahweh responded to Job out of a storm,
7 “Brace yourself like a man!
I will ask you, and you will teach me.
8 “Would you undo my justice?
Would you condemn me so that you can be righteous?
9 Do you have power like El’s?
Can you thunder with a voice like his?
10 Then dress yourself in majesty and dignity.
Clothe yourself in splendor and glory.
11 Unleash your outbursts of anger.
Look at all who are arrogant, and put them down.
12 Look at all who are arrogant, and humble them.
Crush wicked people wherever they are.
13 Hide them completely in the dust,
and cover their faces in the hidden place.
14 Then even I will praise you
because your right hand can save you.
Job 40:6-14
Tree of Life Version
6 Then Adonai answered Job from the whirlwind:
7 “Brace yourself like a man;
I will question you,
and you will inform Me!
8 “Would you really annul My judgment?
Would you condemn Me to justify yourself?
9 Do you have an arm like God’s
and can you thunder with a voice like His?
10 Then adorn yourself in majesty and dignity;
clothe yourself in splendor and honor.
11 Scatter the fury of your anger.
Look at every proud personand bring him low;
12 look at everyone who is proud and humble him;
tread down the wicked where they stand.
13 Hide them together in the dust
bind their faces in the hidden place.
14 Then I—even I will acknowledge to you,
that your own right hand can save you!
Job 40:6-14
1599 Geneva Bible
6 Cast abroad the indignation of thy wrath, and behold everyone that is proud, and abase him.
7 Look on everyone that is arrogant, and bring him low: and destroy the wicked in their place.
8 Hide them in the dust together, and bind [a]their faces in a secret place.
9 Then will I confess unto thee also, that thy right hand can [b]save thee.
10 ¶ Behold now [c]Behemoth (whom I made [d]with thee) which eateth [e]grass as an ox.
11 Behold now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.
12 When he taketh pleasure, his tail is like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.
13 His bones are like staves of brass, and his small bones like staves of iron.
14 [f]He is the chief of the ways of God: [g]he that made him, will make his sword to approach unto him.
