IYOB ANSWERS YAH VEH
And Iyob answers Yah Veh and says, 4 Behold, I am abased; What respond I to you? I set my hand to my mouth. 5 I worded once; but I answer not: yes, twice; but not again. 6
YAH VEH ANSWERS IYOB
And Yah Veh answers Iyob from the storm and says, 7 Gird your loins, I beseech, as a mighty; I ask of you; and have me know. 8 Break you my judgment? Judge you me wicked to justify yourself? 9 Have you an arm like El? Thunder with a voice like him? 10 I beseech, adorn yourself with pomp and loftiness; enrobe yourself with majesty and honor; 11 scatter the fury of your wrath; see everyone who is pompous and abase him; 12 see everyone who is pompous and subdue him; and trample the wicked in their place: 13 hide them in the dust together and bind their faces in hiding. 14 And I - I also confess to you that your own right saves thee. 15 Behold, I beseech, behemoth, whom I worked with you - who eats grass as an ox. 16 Behold, I beseech, his force in his loins and his strength in the navel of his belly. 17 He bends his tail as a cedar; the sinews of his testis entwine: 18 his bones - as gatherings of copper; his bones - as forgings of iron: 19 he is the beginning of the ways of El; his Worker approaches with his sword: 20 surely the mountains bear him produce where all the live beings of the field laugh. 21 He lies under the lotuses, in the covert of the stalk and mire; 22 the lotuses cover him with their shadow; the willows of the wadi surround him: 23 behold, he drinks a river; he hastens not; - confident that he can gush Yarden in his mouth: 24 he takes it with his eyes; his nostrils pierce through snares.
