1Moreover the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) answered Iyov [hated], and said,

2Shall he that contends with the Almighty instruct [him]? he that reproves God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], let him answer it.

3Then Iyov [hated] answered the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and said,

4Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer youⁱ? I will lay my hand upon my mouth.

5Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yes, twice; but I will proceed no further.

6Then answered the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) unto Iyov [hated] out of the whirlwind, and said,

7Gird up youⁱ waist now like a man: I will demand of youⁱ, and declare youⁱ unto me.

8Will youⁱ also disannul my judgment? will youⁱ condemn me, that youⁱ may be righteous?

9Have youⁱ an arm like God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]? or can youⁱ thunder with a voice like him?

10Deck yourself now [with] majesty and excellency; and array (to put on; to clothe) yourself with glory and beauty.

11Cast abroad the rage of youⁱ wrath: and behold every one [that is] proud, and abase him.

12Look on every one [that is] proud, [and] bring him low; and trample down the wicked in their place.

13Hide them in the dust together; [and] bind their faces in secret.

14Then will I also confess unto youⁱ that youⁱ own right hand can save youⁱ.

15Behold now Behemoth (a large, plant-eating dragon or dinosaur), which I made with youⁱ; he eats grass as an ox.

16Lo now, his strength [is] in his waist, and his force [is] in the navel of his belly.

17He moves his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.

18His bones [are as] strong pieces of brass; his bones [are] like bars of iron.

19He [is] the chief of the ways of God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]: he that made him can make his sword to approach [unto him].

20Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.

21He lies under the shady trees, in the colonnade of the reed, and fens.

22The shady trees cover him [with] their shadow; the willows of the brook compass (go around, encircle; encompass) him about.

23Behold, he drink up a river, [and] hastes not: he trusts that he can draw up Yarden [Descender] into his mouth.

24He takes it with his eyes: [his] nose pierces through snares.
