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