Job 40

Rahlfs Septuagint (1935) · Berean Standard Bible

40:1

καὶ ἀπεκρίθη κύριος ὁ θεὸς τῷ Ιωβ καὶ εἶπεν

And the LORD said to Job:

40:2

μὴ κρίσιν μετὰ ἱκανοῦ ἐκκλινεῖ ἐλέγχων θεὸν ἀποκριθήσεται αὐτήν

“Will the faultfinder contend with the Almighty? Let him who argues with God give an answer.”

40:3

ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Ιωβ λέγει τῷ κυρίῳ

Then Job answered the LORD:

40:4

τί ἔτι ἐγὼ κρίνομαι νουθετούμενος καὶ ἐλέγχων κύριον ἀκούων τοιαῦτα οὐθὲν ὤν ἐγὼ δὲ τίνα ἀπόκρισιν δῶ πρὸς ταῦτα χεῖρα θήσω ἐπὶ στόματί μου

“Behold, I am insignificant. How can I reply to You? I place my hand over my mouth.

40:5

ἅπαξ λελάληκα ἐπὶ δὲ τῷ δευτέρῳ οὐ προσθήσω

I have spoken once, but I have no answer—twice, but I have nothing to add.”

40:6

ἔτι δὲ ὑπολαβὼν ὁ κύριος εἶπεν τῷ Ιωβ ἐκ τοῦ νέφους

Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind and said:

40:7

μή ἀλλὰ ζῶσαι ὥσπερ ἀνὴρ τὴν ὀσφύν σου ἐρωτήσω δέ σε σὺ δέ μοι ἀποκρίθητι

“Now brace like a man; I will question you, .

40:8

μὴ ἀποποιοῦ μου τὸ κρίμα οἴει δέ με ἄλλως σοι κεχρηματικέναι ἢ ἵνα ἀναφανῇς δίκαιος

Would you really annul My justice? Would you condemn Me to justify yourself?

40:9

ἦ βραχίων σοί ἐστιν κατὰ τοῦ κυρίου ἢ φωνῇ κατ᾿ αὐτὸν βροντᾷς

Do you have an arm like God’s? Can you thunder with a voice like His?

40:10

ἀνάλαβε δὴ ὕψος καὶ δύναμιν δόξαν δὲ καὶ τιμὴν ἀμφίεσαι

Then adorn yourself with majesty and splendor, and clothe yourself with honor and glory.

40:11

ἀπόστειλον δὲ ἀγγέλους ὀργῇ πᾶν δὲ ὑβριστὴν ταπείνωσον

Unleash the fury of your wrath; look on every proud man and bring him low.

40:12

ὑπερήφανον δὲ σβέσον σῆψον δὲ ἀσεβεῖς παραχρῆμα

Look on every proud man and humble him; trample the wicked where they stand.

40:13

κρύψον δὲ εἰς γῆν ἔξω ὁμοθυμαδόν τὰ δὲ πρόσωπα αὐτῶν ἀτιμίας ἔμπλησον

Bury them together in the dust; imprison them .

40:14

ὁμολογήσω ἄρα ὅτι δύναται ἡ δεξιά σου σῶσαι

Then I will confess to you that your own right hand can save you.

40:15

ἀλλὰ δὴ ἰδοὺ θηρία παρὰ σοί χόρτον ἴσα βουσὶν ἐσθίει

Look at Behemoth, which I made along with you. He feeds on grass like an ox.

40:16

ἰδοὺ δὴ ἰσχὺς αὐτοῦ ἐπ᾿ ὀσφύι ἡ δὲ δύναμις ἐπ᾿ ὀμφαλοῦ γαστρός

See the strength of his loins and the power in the muscles of his belly.

40:17

ἔστησεν οὐρὰν ὡς κυπάρισσον τὰ δὲ νεῦρα αὐτοῦ συμπέπλεκται

His tail sways like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are tightly knit.

40:18

αἱ πλευραὶ αὐτοῦ πλευραὶ χάλκειαι ἡ δὲ ῥάχις αὐτοῦ σίδηρος χυτός

His bones are tubes of bronze; his limbs are rods of iron.

40:19

τοῦτ᾿ ἔστιν ἀρχὴ πλάσματος κυρίου πεποιημένον ἐγκαταπαίζεσθαι ὑπὸ τῶν ἀγγέλων αὐτοῦ

He is the foremost of God’s ; only his Maker can draw the sword against him.

40:20

ἐπελθὼν δὲ ἐπ᾿ ὄρος ἀκρότομον ἐποίησεν χαρμονὴν τετράποσιν ἐν τῷ ταρτάρῳ

The hills yield him their produce, while all the beasts of the field play nearby.

40:21

ὑπὸ παντοδαπὰ δένδρα κοιμᾶται παρὰ πάπυρον καὶ κάλαμον καὶ βούτομον

He lies under , hidden among the reeds of the marsh.

40:22

σκιάζονται δὲ ἐν αὐτῷ δένδρα μεγάλα σὺν ῥαδάμνοις καὶ κλῶνες ἄγνου

The lotus plants conceal him in their shade; of the brook surround him.

40:23

ἐὰν γένηται πλήμμυρα οὐ μὴ αἰσθηθῇ πέποιθεν ὅτι προσκρούσει ὁ Ιορδάνης εἰς τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ

Though the river rages, Behemoth is unafraid; he remains secure, though the Jordan surges to his mouth.

40:24

ἐν τῷ ὀφθαλμῷ αὐτοῦ δέξεται αὐτόν ἐνσκολιευόμενος τρήσει ῥῖνα

Can anyone capture him as he looks on, or pierce his nose with a snare?

40:25

ἄξεις δὲ δράκοντα ἐν ἀγκίστρῳ περιθήσεις δὲ φορβεὰν περὶ ῥῖνα αὐτοῦ

^41:1 “Can you pull in Leviathan with a hook or tie down his tongue with a rope?

θήσεται δὲ διαθήκην μετὰ σοῦ λήμψῃ δὲ αὐτὸν δοῦλον αἰώνιον

40:30

ἐνσιτοῦνται δὲ ἐν αὐτῷ ἔθνη μεριτεύονται δὲ αὐτὸν φοινίκων γένη

^41:6 Will traders barter for him or divide him among the merchants?

40:31

πᾶν δὲ πλωτὸν συνελθὸν οὐ μὴ ἐνέγκωσιν βύρσαν μίαν οὐρᾶς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐν πλοίοις ἁλιέων κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ

^41:7 Can you fill his hide with harpoons or his head with fishing spears?

40:32

ἐπιθήσεις δὲ αὐτῷ χεῖρα μνησθεὶς πόλεμον τὸν γινόμενον ἐν σώματι αὐτοῦ καὶ μηκέτι γινέσθω

^41:8 If you lay a hand on him, you will remember the battle and never repeat it!
