욥기 40장 Coverdale Bible
- 1 Morouer, God spake vnto Iob and sayde:
- 2 Can he that stryueth with the Allmightie, be at rest? Shulde not he which disputeth with God, geue him an answere?
- 3 Iob answered the LORDE, sayenge:
- 4 Beholde, I am to vyle a personne, to answere the, therfore will I laye my hande vpon my mouth.
- 5 Once or twyse haue I spoken, but I will saye nomore.
- 6 Then spake the LORDE vnto Iob out of the storme, and sayde:
- 7 gyrde vp yi loynes like a man, and tell me the thige that I will axe the.
- 8 Wilt thou disanulle my iudgment? Or, wilt thou condemne me, yt thou thy self mayest be made rightuous?
- 9 Is thine arme then like the arme of God? Maketh thy voyce soch a soude as his doth?
- 10 Then arme thy self with thine owne power, vp, decke the in thy ioly araye,
- 11 poure out the indignacion of thy wrath: se that thou cast downe all ye proude,
- 12 loke well, that thou makest all soch as be stubburne, to obeye: treade all the vngodly vnder thy fete,
- 13 cast the downe in to the myre, and couer their faces with darcknesse:
- 14 Then will I confesse also, that thyne owne right honde hath saued the.
- 15 Beholde, the cruell beaste (whom I made wt the) which eateth haye as an oxe:
- 16 lo, how stronge he is in his loynes, and what power he hath in the nauell of his body.
- 17 He spredeth out his tale like a Cedre tre, all his vaynes are stiff.
- 18 His shynnes are like pipes off brasse, his rygge bones are like staues of yro
- 19 First when God made him, he ordened the wyldernesse for him,
- 20 yt the mountaynes shulde geue him grasse, where all the beastes off the felde take their pastyme.
- 21 He lyeth amoge the redes in the Mosses, the fennes
- 22 hyde him with their shadowe, and the wylowes of the broke couer him rounde aboute.
- 23 Lo, without eny laboure might he drynke out the whole floude, and suppe off Iordane without eny trauayle.
- 24 Who darre laye honde vpon him openly, and vndertake to catch him? Or, who darre put an hoke thorow his nose, ad laye a snare for him?
