1And the Lord answering Job out of the whirlwind, said:
1ENTONCES respondió Jehová á Job desde la oscuridad, y dijo:
2Gird up thy loins like a man: I will ask thee, and do thou tell me.
2Cíñete ahora como varón tus lomos; yo te preguntaré, y explícame.
3Wilt thou make void my judgment: and condemn me, that thou mayst be justified?
3¿Invalidarás tú también mi juicio? ¿me condenarás á mí, para justificarte á ti?
4And hast thou an arm like God, and canst thou thunder with a voice like him?
4¿Tienes tú brazo como Dios? ¿y tronarás tú con voz como él?
5Clothe thyself with beauty, and set thyself up on high and be glorious, and put on goodly garments.
5Atavíate ahora de majestad y de alteza: y vístete de honra y de hermosura.
6Scatter the proud in thy indignation, and behold every arrogant man, and humble him.
6Esparce furores de tu ira: y mira á todo soberbio, y abátelo.
7Look on all that are proud, and confound them, and crush the wicked in their place.
7Mira á todo soberbio, y humíllalo, y quebranta á los impíos en su asiento.
8Hide them in the dust together, and plunge their faces into the pit.
8Encúbrelos á todos en el polvo, venda sus rostros en la oscuridad;
9Then I will confess that thy right hand is able to save thee.
9Y yo también te confesaré que podrá salvarte tu diestra.
10Behold behemoth whom I made with thee, he eateth grass like an ox.
10He aquí ahora behemoth, al cual yo hice contigo; hierba come como buey.
11His strength is in his loins, and his force in the navel of his belly.
11He aquí ahora que su fuerza está en sus lomos, y su fortaleza en el ombligo de su vientre.
12He setteth up his tail like a cedar, the sinews of his testicles are wrapped together.
12Su cola mueve como un cedro, y los nervios de sus genitales son entretejidos.
13His bones are like pipes of brass, his gristle like plates of iron.
13Sus huesos son fuertes como bronce, y sus miembros como barras de hierro.
14He is the beginning of the ways of God, who made him, he will apply his sword.
14El es la cabeza de los caminos de Dios: el que lo hizo, puede hacer que su cuchillo á él se acerque.
15To him the mountains bring forth grass: there all the beasts of the field shall play.
15Ciertamente los montes producen hierba para él: y toda bestia del campo retoza allá.
16He sleepeth under the shadow, in the covert of the reed, and in moist places.
16Echaráse debajo de las sombras, en lo oculto de las cañas, y de los lugares húmedos.
17The shades cover his shadow, the willows of the brook shall compass him about.
17Los árboles sombríos lo cubren con su sombra; los sauces del arroyo lo cercan.
18Behold, he will drink up a river, and not wonder: and he trusteth that the Jordan may run into his mouth.
18He aquí que él tomará el río sin inmutarse: y confíase que el Jordán pasará por su boca.
19In his eyes as with a hook he shall take him, and bore through his nostrils with stakes.
19¿Tomarálo alguno por sus ojos en armadijos, y horadará su nariz?
20Canst thou draw out the leviathan with a hook, or canst thou tie his tongue with a cord?
