2Nay, gird up now thy loins like a man; and I will ask thee, and do thou answerיַעֲנֶֽ/נָּה\׃\ \פ · H6030B: to answer
Ver concordancia completa →
me.

3Do not set aside my judgement: andוַ/יַּ֖עַן · H9001: &
Ver concordancia completa →
dost thou think that I have dealt with thee in any other way, than that thou mightest appear to be righteous?

4Hast thou an arm like the Lord’s? or dost thou thunder with a voice like his?

5Assume now a lofty bearing andוְ/לֹ֣א · H9002: and
Ver concordancia completa →
power; andוּ֝/שְׁתַּ֗יִם · H9002: and
Ver concordancia completa →
clothe thyself with glory andוְ/לֹ֣א · H9002: and

Ver concordancia completa →
lay low every haughty one.

7Bring down also the proud man; andוְ/הוֹדִיעֵֽ/נִי\׃ · H9002: and
Ver concordancia completa →
consume at once the ungodly.

8And hide them together in the earth; and fill their faces with shame.

9Then will I confess that thy right hand can save thee.

10But now look at the wild beasts with thee; they eat grass like oxen.

11Behold now, his strength is in his loins, andוּ/רְאֵ֥ה · H9002: and
Ver concordancia completa →
his force is in the navel of his belly.

12He sets up his tail like a cypress; andוַ/הֲדֹ֖ךְ · H9002: and
Ver concordancia completa →
his nerves are wrapped together.

13His sides are sides of brass; and his backbone is as cast iron.

14This isאֲנִ֥י · H0589: I
Ver concordancia completa →
the chief of the Gr. formationכִּֽי\־ · H3588A: for
Ver concordancia completa →
creation of the Lord; made toלְ/ךָ֣ · H9005: to/for

be Or, mocked played with by his angels.

15And when he has gone up to a steep mountain, he causes joy to the quadrupeds in Heb. field, q. d., level, or, low place the deep.

16He lies under trees of every kind, by the papyrus, andוְ֝/אֹנ֗/וֹ · H9002: and
Ver concordancia completa →
reed, and bulrush.

17And the great trees make a shadow over him with their branches, and so do the bushes of the Alex. agnou, willow field.

18If there should be a flood, he will not perceive it; he trust that Jordan will rush up into hisעֲ֭צָמָי/ו · H9023: his
Ver concordancia completa →
mouth.

19Yet one shall take himהָ֝/עֹשׂ/וֹ · H9033: him
Ver concordancia completa →
in hisחַרְבּֽ/וֹ\׃ · H9023: his
Ver concordancia completa →
sight; one shall catch him with a cord, and pierce his nose.

20But wilt thou catch the serpent with a hook, andוְֽ/כָל\־ · H9002: and
Ver concordancia completa →
put a halter about his nose?

21Or wilt thou fasten a ring inבְּ/סֵ֖תֶר · H9003: in/on/with
Ver concordancia completa →
his nostril, andוּ/בִצָּֽה\׃ · H9002: and
Ver concordancia completa →
bore his lip with a clasp?

22Will he address thee with a petition? softly, with the voice of a suppliant?

23And will he make a covenant with thee? and wilt thou take him forכִּֽי\־ · H3588A: for
Ver concordancia completa →
a perpetual servant?

24And wilt thou play withבְּ/עֵינָ֥י/ו · H9003: in/on/with
Ver concordancia completa →
himיִקָּחֶ֑/נּוּ · H9033: him
Ver concordancia completa →
as withבְּ֝/מֽוֹקְשִׁ֗ים · H9003: in/on/with
Ver concordancia completa →
a bird? or bind him as a sparrow for a child?

25And do the nations feed upon him, and the nations of the Phoenicians share him?

26And all the ships come together would not be able to bear the mere skin of his tail; neither shall they carry his head in fishing-vessels.

27But thou shalt lay thy hand upon him once, remembering the war that is waged by his mouth; and let it not be done any more.
