Jó 40 - Bíblia Online

Prosseguiu Jeová na sua resposta a Jó, e disse: 
Acaso com o Todo-poderoso contenderá quem usa de cavilações? Responda a isso quem argüi a Deus. 
Então respondeu Jó a Jeová: 
Eis que sou vil, que te hei de responder? Ponho a minha mão sobre a boca. 
Uma vez falei, e não direi mais; Sim duas vezes, porém não prosseguirei. 
Então o redemoinho respondeu Jeová a Jó: 
Cinge os teus lombos como homem; Eu te perguntarei, e tu me responderás. 
Porventura farás tu vão o meu juízo? Condenar-me-ás para te justificares a ti? 
Ou tens tu um braço como Deus? E podes trovejar com a voz como ele o faz? 
Orna-te de excelência e de dignidade, E veste-te de honra e de majestade. 
Derrama as inundações da tua ira: Olha para todo o soberbo e abate-o; 
Olha para todo o soberbo e humilha-o, E calca aos pés os iníquos onde estão. 
Esconde-os juntamente no pó, Ata-lhes os rostos no lugar escondido. 
Então eu também confessarei a respeito de ti Que a tua destra te poderá salvar. 
Eis beemote, que eu criei contigo; Ele come o feno como o boi. 
Eis que a sua fortaleza está nos seus lombos, E a sua força está nos músculos do seu ventre. 
Move a sua cauda como o cedro: Os nervos da sua coxa são entretecidos. 
Os seus ossos são como tubos de bronze, As suas costelas são como barras de ferro. 
Ele é o principal das obras de Deus; Aquele que o fez, o proviu de espada. 
Na verdade os montes lhe produzem pastos, E ali folgam todos os animais do campo. 
Deita-se debaixo dos lotos, No esconderijo dos canaviais e no pântano. 
Os lotos cobrem-no com a sua sombra, Os salgueiros do ribeiro o rodeiam. 
Se um rio trasbordar, ele não treme; Está sem cuidado ainda que o Jordão se levante até a sua boca. 
Poderá alguém apanhá-lo, quando ele estiver de vigia, Ou pôr-lhe um anel ao nariz? 

\40:6\Then the Lord made answer to Job out of the storm-wind, and said, 
\40:7\Get your strength together like a man of war: I will put questions to you, and you will give me the answers. 
\40:8\Will you even make my right of no value? will you say that I am wrong in order to make clear that you are right? 
\40:9\Have you an arm like God? have you a voice of thunder like his? 
\40:10\Put on the ornaments of your pride; be clothed with glory and power: 
\40:11\Let your wrath be overflowing; let your eyes see all the sons of pride, and make them low. 
\40:12\Send destruction on all who are lifted up, pulling down the sinners from their places. 
\40:13\Let them be covered together in the dust; let their faces be dark in the secret place of the underworld. 
\40:14\Then I will give praise to you, saying that your right hand is able to give you salvation. 
\40:15\See now the Great Beast, whom I made, even as I made you; he takes grass for food, like the ox. 
\40:16\His strength is in his body, and his force in the muscles of his stomach. 
\40:17\His tail is curving like a cedar; the muscles of his legs are joined together. 
\40:18\His bones are pipes of brass, his legs are like rods of iron. 
\40:19\He is the chief of the ways of God, made by him for his pleasure. 
\40:20\He takes the produce of the mountains, where all the beasts of the field are at play. 
\40:21\He takes his rest under the trees of the river, and in the pool, under the shade of the water-plants. 
\40:22\He is covered by the branches of the trees; the grasses of the stream are round him. 
\40:23\Truly, if the river is overflowing, it gives him no cause for fear; he has no sense of danger, even if Jordan is rushing against his mouth. 
\40:24\Will anyone take him when he is on the watch, or put metal teeth through his nose? 
\41:1\Is it possible for Leviathan to be pulled out with a fish-hook, or for a hook to be put through the bone of his mouth? 
\41:2\Will you put a cord into his nose, or take him away with a cord round his tongue? 
\41:3\Will he make prayers to you, or say soft words to you? 
\41:4\Will he make an agreement with you, so that you may take him as a servant for ever? 
\41:5\Will you make sport with him, as with a bird? or put him in chains for your young women? 
\41:6\Will the fishermen make profit out of him? will they have him cut up for the traders? 
\41:7\Will you put sharp-pointed irons into his skin, or fish-spears into his head? 
\41:8\Only put your hand on him, and see what a fight you will have; you will not do it again! 
\41:9\Truly, the hope of his attacker is false; he is overcome even on seeing him!
