Job 40
New King James Version
God’s Power and Wisdom
40 Moreover the Lord (A)answered Job, and said:
2 “Shall (B)the one who contends with the Almighty correct Him?
He who (C)rebukes God, let him answer it.”
Job’s Response to God
3 Then Job answered the Lord and said:
4 “Behold,(D) I am vile;
What shall I answer You?
(E)I lay my hand over my mouth.
5 Once I have spoken, but I will not answer;
Yes, twice, but I will proceed no further.”
God’s Challenge to Job
6 (F)Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said:
8 “Would(I) you indeed [b]annul My judgment?
Would you condemn Me that you may be justified?
9 Have you an arm like God?
Or can you thunder with (J)a voice like His?
10 (K)Then adorn yourself with majesty and splendor,
And array yourself with glory and beauty.
11 Disperse the rage of your wrath;
Look on everyone who is proud, and humble him.
12 Look on everyone who is (L)proud, and bring him low;
Tread down the wicked in their place.
13 Hide them in the dust together,
Bind their faces in hidden darkness.
14 Then I will also confess to you
That your own right hand can save you.
15 “Look now at the [c]behemoth, which I made along with you;
He eats grass like an ox.
16 See now, his strength is in his hips,
And his power is in his stomach muscles.
17 He moves his tail like a cedar;
The sinews of his thighs are tightly knit.
18 His bones are like beams of bronze,
His ribs like bars of iron.
19 He is the first of the (M)ways of God;
Only He who made him can bring near His sword.
20 Surely the mountains (N)yield food for him,
And all the beasts of the field play there.
21 He lies under the lotus trees,
In a covert of reeds and marsh.
22 The lotus trees cover him with their shade;
The willows by the brook surround him.
23 Indeed the river may rage,
Yet he is not disturbed;
He is confident, though the Jordan gushes into his mouth,
24 Though he takes it in his eyes,
Or one pierces his nose with a snare.

40 여호와께서는 계속해서 욥에게 말씀하셨다.
2 “네가 아직도 전능한 자와 다투겠느냐? 나 하나님을 책망하는 너는 이제 대답하라.”
3 그러자 욥이 이렇게 대답하였다.
4 “나같이 보잘것없는 자가 주께 무엇이라고 대답하겠습니까? 다만 손으로 내 입을 가릴 뿐입니다.
5 나는 이미 너무 많은 말을 하였습니다.”
6 그때 여호와께서 다시 폭풍 가운데서 욥에게 말씀하셨다.
7 “너는 남자답게 일어나서 내가 묻는 말에 대답하라.
8 너는 네가 의롭다는 말을 하기 위해서 내 심판을 무시하고 나를 죄인으로 단정할 셈이냐?
9 네가 나 같은 팔을 가졌으며 나만큼 우렁찬 소리를 낼 수 있느냐?
10 만일 그렇다면 네가 화려하고 아름답게 꾸미고 위엄과 영광의 옷을 입어라.
11 너는 교만한 자들을 찾아 너의 분노를 쏟고 그들을 낮추라.
12 다시 말하지만 교만한 자들을 모조리 찾아서 낮추고 악인들을 그들이 있는 곳에서 짓밟아
13 모두 땅 속에 묻고 그 얼굴을 싸서 무덤에 두어라.
14 그러면 [a]네 힘이 너를 구원할 수 있다고 내가 인정해 주겠다.
15 “너는 하마처럼 생긴 괴물을 보아라. 내가 너를 창조했듯이 그것도 창조하였다. 그 괴물은 소처럼 풀을 먹고 살지마는
16 그 허리와 배의 힘줄에는 강한 힘이 있다.
17 그 꼬리는 백향목처럼 곧고 넓적다리의 힘줄은 서로 굳게 결합되어 있으며
18 그 뼈는 놋쇠처럼 단단하고 다리는 쇠막대기와 같다.
19 이것은 내가 창조한 것 중에서 가장 무서운 놈이다. [b]그것을 창조한 나도 칼을 들어야만 접근할 수 있다.
20 모든 들짐승이 노는 산이 그것을 위해 먹을 것을 만들어낸다.
21 그것이 연꽃 아래나 습지의 갈대밭에 엎드리면
22 연이나 수양버들이 그것을 그늘에 숨겨 준다.
23 그 괴물은 홍수가 밀어닥쳐도 놀라지 않으며 요단 강물이 넘쳐 그 입에까지 와 닿아도 태연하다.
24 누가 감히 그것을 잡아 갈고리로 그 코를 꿸 수 있겠느냐?”

Job: What Can I Say?
40 Then the Lord said to Job,
3 Then Job answered the Lord and said,
4 “Behold, I am insignificant; what can I reply to You?
I (C)lay my hand on my mouth.
5 “Once I have spoken, and (D)I will not answer;
Even twice, and I will add nothing more.”
God Questions Job
6 Then the (E)Lord answered Job out of the storm and said,
7 “Now (F)gird up your loins like a man;
I will (G)ask you, and you instruct Me.
8 “Will you really (H)annul My judgment?
Will you (I)condemn Me (J)that you may be justified?
9 “Or do you have an arm like God,
And can you (K)thunder with a voice like His?
10 “(L)Adorn yourself with eminence and dignity,
And clothe yourself with honor and majesty.
11 “Pour out (M)the overflowings of your anger,
And look on everyone who is (N)proud, and make him low.
12 “Look on everyone who is proud, and (O)humble him,
And (P)tread down the wicked [a]where they stand.
13 “(Q)Hide them in the dust together;
Bind [b]them in the hidden place.
14 “Then I will also [c]confess to you,
That your own right hand can save you.
God’s Power Shown in Creatures
15 “Behold now, [d]Behemoth, which (R)I made [e]as well as you;
He eats grass like an ox.
16 “Behold now, his strength in his loins
And his power in the muscles of his belly.
17 “He bends his tail like a cedar;
The sinews of his thighs are knit together.
18 “His bones are tubes of bronze;
His [f]limbs are like bars of iron.
19 “He is the (S)first of the ways of God;
Let his (T)maker bring near his sword.
20 “Surely the mountains (U)bring him food,
And all the beasts of the field (V)play there.
21 “Under the lotus plants he lies down,
In the covert of the reeds and the marsh.
22 “The lotus plants cover him with [g]shade;
The willows of the brook surround him.
23 “If a river [h]rages, he is not alarmed;
He is confident, though the (W)Jordan rushes to his mouth.
24 “Can anyone capture him [i]when he is on watch,
With [j]barbs can anyone pierce his nose?

Job 40
New International Version
40 The Lord said to Job:(A)
2 “Will the one who contends with the Almighty(B) correct him?(C)
Let him who accuses God answer him!”(D)
3 Then Job answered the Lord:
4 “I am unworthy(E)—how can I reply to you?
I put my hand over my mouth.(F)
5 I spoke once, but I have no answer(G)—
twice, but I will say no more.”(H)
6 Then the Lord spoke to Job out of the storm:(I)
7 “Brace yourself like a man;
I will question you,
and you shall answer me.(J)
8 “Would you discredit my justice?(K)
Would you condemn me to justify yourself?(L)
9 Do you have an arm like God’s,(M)
and can your voice(N) thunder like his?(O)
10 Then adorn yourself with glory and splendor,
and clothe yourself in honor and majesty.(P)
11 Unleash the fury of your wrath,(Q)
look at all who are proud and bring them low,(R)
12 look at all who are proud(S) and humble them,(T)
crush(U) the wicked where they stand.
13 Bury them all in the dust together;(V)
shroud their faces in the grave.(W)
14 Then I myself will admit to you
that your own right hand can save you.(X)
15 “Look at Behemoth,
which I made(Y) along with you
and which feeds on grass like an ox.(Z)
16 What strength(AA) it has in its loins,
what power in the muscles of its belly!(AB)
17 Its tail sways like a cedar;
the sinews of its thighs are close-knit.(AC)
18 Its bones are tubes of bronze,
its limbs(AD) like rods of iron.(AE)
19 It ranks first among the works of God,(AF)
yet its Maker(AG) can approach it with his sword.(AH)
20 The hills bring it their produce,(AI)
and all the wild animals play(AJ) nearby.(AK)
21 Under the lotus plants it lies,
hidden among the reeds(AL) in the marsh.(AM)
22 The lotuses conceal it in their shadow;
the poplars by the stream(AN) surround it.
23 A raging river(AO) does not alarm it;
it is secure, though the Jordan(AP) should surge against its mouth.
24 Can anyone capture it by the eyes,
or trap it and pierce its nose?(AQ)

Job 40
King James Version
40 Moreover the Lord answered Job, and said,
2 Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproveth God, let him answer it.
3 Then Job answered the Lord, and said,
4 Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay mine hand upon my mouth.
5 Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea, twice; but I will proceed no further.
6 Then answered the Lord unto Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
7 Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.
8 Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous?
9 Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice like him?
10 Deck thyself now with majesty and excellency; and array thyself with glory and beauty.
11 Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and behold every one that is proud, and abase him.
12 Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place.
13 Hide them in the dust together; and bind their faces in secret.
14 Then will I also confess unto thee that thine own right hand can save thee.
15 Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.
16 Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.
17 He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.
18 His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.
19 He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him.
20 Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.
21 He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.
22 The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.
23 Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.
24 He taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth through snares.
