you, and you declare the answers to Me.
8 Will you also disannul My mishpat? Will you condemn
Me, that you may be a tzadik?
9 Have you an Arm like El? 4069 Or, can you thunder with
a voice like Him?
10 Deck yourself now with majesty and excellency; and
dress yourself with tifereth and splendor.
11 Cast abroad the rage of your anger: and behold
everyone that is proud, and bring him low.
12 Look on everyone that is proud, and bring him low;
and tread down the wicked in their place.
13 Hide them in the dust together; and bind their faces in
obscurity.
14 Then will I also confess to you that your own right
hand can save you.
15 See now Behemoth-hippopotamus, which I made with
you; he eats grass as an ox.
16 See, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in his
stomach muscles.
17 He moves his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his thighs
are wrapped together.
18 His bones are as tubes of bronze; his bones are like
bars of iron.
19 He is the start of the derech of El: His Maker made
him powerful to fight.
20 Surely the mountains bring him food, where all the
beasts of the field play.
21 He lies under the shady eytzim, under the cover of the
reed, and fens.
22 The shady eytzim cover him with their shadow; the
willows of the stream surround him.
23 See, if the river rages he has no fear: he trusts that he
can draw up the Yarden River into his mouth.
24 Can one catch him with a hook, or a net, or pierce his
nose through a trap?
Can you draw out Leviathan 4070 41
with a hook?
Or, his tongue with a cord which you let down?
2 Can you put a hook into his nose? Or, pierce his jaw
through with a hook?
3 Will he plead with you? Will he speak soft words to
you?
4 Will he make a brit with you? Will you take him as an
eved le-olam-va-ed?
5 Will you play with him as with a bird? Or, will you
leash him for your young girls?
6 Shall trading partners bargain over him? Shall they
part him among the merchants?
7 Can you fill his skin with harpoons? Or, his head with
fishing spears?
8 Try to capture him, such a battle you will never forget.
9 See any expectation regarding him is worthless: shall
not one be cast down just at the sight of him?
10 None is so fierce that dares to stir him up: who then is
able to stand before Me?
11 Who has given anything to Me, that I should repay
him? Whatever is under the whole shamayim is Mine.
12 I will not conceal his parts, nor his power, nor his fair
frame.
13 Who can remove the surface of his skin? Or, who can
come to him with a double bridle?
14 Who can open the doors of his face? His teeth are
terrible all around.
IYOV - JOB
- 501 -
15 His scales are his pride, closed together as with a
binding seal.
16 One is so near to another, so that no air can come
between them.
17 They are joined one to another, they stick together,
that they cannot be separated.
18 By his sneezing a light does shine, and his eyes are
like the eyelids of the morning.
19 Out of his mouth goes smoke, and sparks of fire leap
out.
20 Out of his nostrils goes smoke, as out of a boiling pot,
or kettle.
21 His ruach kindles coals, and a flame goes out of his
mouth.
22 In his neck remains strength, and fear proceeds from
him.
23 The folds of his flesh are joined together: they are firm
in themselves; they cannot be moved.
24 His lev is as firm as a stone; yes, as hard as a piece of
lower millstone.
25 When he raises himself to stand, the mighty are afraid:
by reason of his crashing they are amazed.
26 The sword that reaches him cannot hold him: the
spear, the dart, nor the lance.
27 He reckons iron as straw, and bronze as rotten wood.
28 The arrow cannot make him flee: sling stones are like
stubble to him.
29 Darts are counted as stubble: he laughs at the shaking
of a spear.
30 Sharp stones make up his underbelly: he sprawls on
the mud like a sledge.
31 He makes the deep to boil and bubble like a pot: He
makes the sea like a pot of ointment.
32 He makes a path to shine after him; one would think
the deep to be gray.
33 Upon earth there is none like him, who is made
without fear.
34 He beholds all high things: He is a melech over all the
children of pride.
Then Iyov answered vuvh, and said,
2 I know that You can do everything, and that no thought
can be withheld from You.
3 Who is he that hides counsel without da’at? Therefore
have I uttered what I understood not; things too
wonderful for me, which I knew not.
4 Listen, I beg You, and I will speak: I did ask You, and
You did answer me.
5 I have heard of You before by the hearing of the ear:
but now my eye sees You. 4071
42
6 Now I despise myself, and repent in dust and ashes.
7 And it was so, that after vuvh had spoken these words to
Iyov, vuvh said to Elifaz the Temanite, My anger is lit
against you, and against your two chaverim: for you have
not spoken of Me the thing that is right, like My eved Iyov
has.
8 Therefore take now seven bullocks and seven rams, and
go to My eved Iyov, and offer up for yourselves a burnt
offering; and My eved Iyov shall make tefillah for you: for
him will I accept: lest I deal with you after your folly, in
that you have not spoken of Me the thing which is right,
like My eved Iyov.
9 So Elifaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and
