Job 约伯记40
英语课
40The Lord said to Job:
2"Will the one who contends with the Almighty 1 correct him? Let him who accuses God answer him!"
3Then Job answered the Lord :
4"I am unworthy-how can I reply to you? I put my hand over my mouth.
5I spoke 2 once, but I have no answer- twice, but I will say no more."
6Then the Lord spoke to Job out of the storm:
7"Brace yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall answer me.
8"Would you discredit 3 my justice? Would you condemn 4 me to justify 5 yourself?
9Do you have an arm like God's, and can your voice thunder like his?
10Then adorn 6 yourself with glory and splendor 7, and clothe yourself in honor and majesty 8.
11Unleash the fury of your wrath 9, look at every proud man and bring him low,
12look at every proud man and humble 10 him, crush the wicked where they stand.
13Bury them all in the dust together; shroud 11 their faces in the grave.
14Then I myself will admit to you that your own right hand can save you.
15"Look at the behemoth, which I made along with you and which feeds on grass like an ox.
16What strength he has in his loins, what power in the muscles of his belly 12!
17His tail sways like a cedar 13; the sinews of his thighs 14 are close-knit.
18His bones are tubes of bronze, his limbs like rods of iron.
19He ranks first among the works of God, yet his Maker 15 can approach him with his sword.
20The hills bring him their produce, and all the wild animals play nearby.
21Under the lotus plants he lies, hidden among the reeds in the marsh 16.
22The lotuses conceal 17 him in their shadow; the poplars by the stream surround him.
23When the river rages, he is not alarmed; he is secure, though the Jordan should surge against his mouth.
24Can anyone capture him by the eyes, or trap him and pierce his nose?
