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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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