Job 40
King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1Moreover the LORD answered Job, and said,
1ΚΑΙ ἀπεκρίθη Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς τῷ Ἰὼβ καὶ εἶπε·
2Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him ? he that reproveth God, let him answer it.
2μὴ κρίσιν μετὰ ἱκανοῦ ἐκκλινεῖ, ἐλέγχων δὲ Θεὸν ἀποκριθήσεται αὐτήν;
3¶ Then Job answered the LORD , and said,
3ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Ἰὼβ λέγει τῷ Κυρίῳ·
4Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay mine hand upon my mouth.
4τί ἔτι ἐγὼ κρίνομαι, νουθετούμενος καὶ ἐλέγχων Κύριον, ἀκούων τοιαῦτα οὐθὲν ὤν; ἐγὼ δὲ τίνα ἀπόκρισιν δῶ πρὸς ταῦτα; χεῖρα θήσω ἐπὶ στόματί μου·
5Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea, twice; but I will proceed no further.
5ἅπαξ λελάληκα, ἐπὶ δὲ τῷ δευτέρῳ οὐ προσθήσω.
6¶ Then answered the LORD unto Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
6ἔτι δὲ ὑπολαβὼν ὁ Κύριος εἶπε τῷ Ἰὼβ ἐκ τοῦ νέφους·
7Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.
7μή, ἀλλὰ ζῶσαι ὥσπερ ἀνὴρ τὴν ὀσφύν σου, ἐρωτήσω δέ σε, σὺ δέ μοι ἀπόκριναι·
8Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous?
8μὴ ἀποποιοῦ μου τὸ κρίμα. οἴει δέ με ἄλλως σοι κεχρηματικέναι ἢ ἵνα ἀναφανῇς δίκαιος;
9Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice like him?
9ἦ βραχίων σοί ἐστι κατὰ τοῦ Κυρίου, ἢ φωνῇ κατ᾿ αὐτὸν βροντᾷς;
10Deck thyself now with majesty and excellency; and array thyself with glory and beauty.
10ἀνάλαβε δὴ ὕψος καὶ δύναμιν, δόξαν δὲ καὶ τιμὴν ἀμφίασαι.
11Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and behold every one that is proud, and abase him.
11ἀπόστειλον δὲ ἀγγέλους ὀργῇ, πάντα δὲ ὑβριστὴν ταπείνωσον·
12Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place.
12ὑπερήφανον δὲ σβέσον, σῆψον δὲ ἀσεβεῖς παραχρῆμα,
13Hide them in the dust together; and bind their faces in secret.
13κρύψον δὲ εἰς γῆν ὁμοθυμαδόν, τὰ δὲ πρόσωπα αὐτῶν ἀτιμίας ἔμπλησον·
14Then will I also confess unto thee that thine own right hand can save thee.
14ὁμολογήσω ὅτι δύναται ἡ δεξιά σου σῶσαι.
15¶ Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.
15ἀλλὰ δὴ ἰδοὺ θηρία παρά σοι, χόρτον ἴσα βουσὶν ἐσθίουσιν.
16Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.
16ἰδοὺ δὴ ἡ ἰσχὺς αὐτοῦ ἐπ᾿ ὀσφύϊ, ἡ δὲ δύναμις αὐτοῦ ἐπ᾿ ὀμφαλοῦ γαστρός·
17He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.
17ἔστησεν οὐρὰν ὡς κυπάρισσον, τὰ δὲ νεῦρα αὐτοῦ συμπέπλεκται·
18His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.
18αἱ πλευραὶ αὐτοῦ πλευραὶ χάλκειαι, ἡ δὲ ράχις αὐτοῦ σίδηρος χυτός.
19He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him .
19τοῦτ᾿ ἔστιν ἀρχὴ πλάσματος Κυρίου, πεποιημένον ἐγκαταπαίζεσθαι ὑπὸ τῶν ἀγγέλων αὐτοῦ.
20Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.
20ἐπελθὼν δὲ ἐπ᾿ ὄρος ἀκρότομον ἐποίησε χαρμονὴν τετράποσιν ἐν τῷ ταρτάρῳ.
21He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.
21ὑπὸ παντοδαπὰ δένδρα κοιμᾶται, παρὰ πάπυρον καὶ κάλαμον καὶ βούτομον.
22The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.
22σκιάζονται δὲ ἐν αὐτῷ δένδρα μεγάλα σὺν ραδάμνοις καὶ κλῶνες ἀγροῦ.
23Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.
23ἐὰν γένηται πλήμμυρα, οὐ μὴ αἰσθηθῇ· πέποιθεν ὅτι προσκρούσει ὁ Ἰορδάνης εἰς τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ.
24He taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth through snares.
24ἐν τῷ ὀφθαλμῷ αὐτοῦ δέξεται αὐτόν, ἐνσκολιευόμενος τρήσει ρῖνα.
