He turneth not his eyes away from the righteous; he setteth up kings in their throne, and confirmeth them, so that they alway sit therein.

Then he sheweth them their work, and their transgressions that they have exceeded.

He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from iniquity.

But they that are godless in heart lay up anger: They cry not for help when he bindeth them.

It is by these that he judges the nations and supplies food in abundance.

With clouds he covereth the light; and commandeth it not to shine by the cloud that cometh betwixt.

The noise thereof telleth concerning him, The cattle also concerning the storm that cometh up.

Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound that goeth out of his mouth.

After that a voice roars; he thunders with an exalted voice, and he does not hold back his lightning bolts when his voice is heard.

God thunders marvelously with His voice;
He does great things that we cannot comprehend.

He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work.

And it is turned round about by his counsels: that they may do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the face of the world in the earth.

Whether it be for correction, or for his land, Or for lovingkindness, that he cause it to come.

Dost thou know about the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him that is perfect in knowledge?

that it watereth and moistureth the dry and barren ground:

That the waters are as hard as stones, and lie congealed above the deep.

Knewest thou the course of heaven, that thou mayest set up the ordinance thereof upon the earth?

Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover thee?

Canst thou send lightnings, that they may go, and say unto thee, Here we are?

Do you go after food for the she-lion, or get meat so that the young lions may have enough,

Canst thou number the months that they fulfil? or knowest thou the time when they bring forth?

That they may give no force for the multitude of people in the cities, neither regard the crying of the driver,

He ranges the mountains that are his pasture to search for anything green.

Canst thou bind the wild-ox, so that - with the ridge - shall run his cord? Or will he harrow the furrows after thee?

“Yet when she lifts herself on high,
[So swift is she that] she laughs at the horse and his rider.

Do you give strength to the horse? is it by your hand that his neck is clothed with power?

Is it through you that he is shaking like a locust, in the pride of his loud-sounding breath?

He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage: neither believeth he that it is the sound of the trumpet.

Is it by thy wisdom that the hawk soareth, (And) stretcheth her wings toward the south?

Is it at thy command that the eagle mounteth up, And maketh her nest on high?

Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproveth God, let him answer it.

Gird up thy loins like a man, and tell me the things that I will ask thee.

Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous?

Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and behold every one that is proud, and abase him.

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

Then will I also confess unto thee that thine own right hand can save thee.

Lo, I pray thee, Behemoth, that I made with thee: Grass as an ox he eateth.

Now take a look at the strength that he has in his loins, and in the muscles of his abdomen.

He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him.

They are joined one to another, they stick together, that they cannot be sundered.

"His neck is so powerful that all who meet him are terrified.

The members of his body are joined so strait one to another, and cleave so fast together, that he cannot be moved.

His heart is as hard as stone, and as fast as the stythie that the hammer man smiteth upon.

The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold: the spear, the dart, nor the habergeon.

He starteth not away for him that bendeth the bow: and as for sling stones, he careth as much for stubble as for them.

He counteth the hammer no better than a straw, he laugheth him to scorn that shaketh the spear.

So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according to that which Yahweh had spoken unto them, - and Yahweh accepted Job.

And Jehovah hath turned to the captivity of Job in his praying for his friends, and Jehovah doth add to all that Job hath -- to double.

Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him over all the evil that the LORD had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one an earring of gold.
