| 40:1 | 耶和华又对约伯说，
Moreover the LORD answered Job, and said, |
|
| 40:2 | 强辩的岂可与全能者争论吗？与神辩驳的可以回答这些吧。
Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproveth God, let him answer it. |
|
| 40:3 | 于是，约伯回答耶和华说：
Then Job answered the LORD, and said, |
|
| 40:4 | 我是卑贱的。我用什么回答你呢？只好用手捂口。
Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay mine hand upon my mouth. |
|
| 40:5 | 我说了一次，再不回答。说了两次，就不再说。
Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea, twice; but I will proceed no further. |
|
| 40:6 | 于是，耶和华从旋风中回答约伯说，
Then answered the LORD unto Job out of the whirlwind, and said, |
|
| 40:7 | 你要如勇士束腰。我问你，你可以指示我。
Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me. |
|
| 40:8 | 你岂可废弃我所拟定的？岂可定我有罪，好显自己为义吗？
Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous? |
|
| 40:9 | 你有神那样的膀臂吗？你能像他发雷声吗？
Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice like him? |
|
| 40:10 | 你要以荣耀庄严为妆饰，以尊荣威严为衣服。
Deck thyself now with majesty and excellency; and array thyself with glory and beauty. |
|
| 40:11 | 要发出你满溢的怒气，见一切骄傲的人，使他降卑。
Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and behold every one that is proud, and abase him. |
|
| 40:12 | 见一切骄傲的人，将他制伏，把恶人践踏在本处。
Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place. |
|
| 40:13 | 将他们一同隐藏在尘土中，把他们的脸蒙蔽在隐密处。
Hide them in the dust together; and bind their faces in secret. |
|
| 40:14 | 我就认你右手能以救自己。
Then will I also confess unto thee that thine own right hand can save thee. |
|
| 40:15 | 你且观看河马。我造你也造它。它吃草与牛一样。
Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox. |
|
| 40:16 | 它的气力在腰间，能力在肚腹的筋上。
Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly. |
|
| 40:17 | 它摇动尾巴如香柏树。它大腿的筋互相联络。
He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together. |
|
| 40:18 | 它的骨头好像铜管。它的肢体仿佛铁棍。
His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron. |
|
| 40:19 | 它在神所造的物中为首。创造它的给它刀剑。
He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him. |
|
| 40:20 | 诸山给它出食物，也是百兽游玩之处。
Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play. |
|
| 40:21 | 它伏在莲叶之下，卧在芦苇隐密处和水洼子里。
He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens. |
|
| 40:22 | 莲叶的阴凉遮蔽它，溪旁的柳树环绕它。
The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about. |
|
| 40:23 | 河水泛滥，它不发战。就是约旦河的水涨到它口边，也是安然。
Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth. |
|
| 40:24 | 在它防备的时候，谁能捉拿它？谁能牢笼它穿它的鼻子呢？
He taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth through snares. |
