Brenton Septuagint Translation Job Humbles Himself Before God 6And the Lord yet again answered and spoke to Job out of the cloud, saying, 7Nay, gird up now thy loins like a man; and I will ask thee, and do thou answer me. 8Do not set aside my judgment: and dost thou think that I have dealt with thee in any other way, than that thou mightest appear to be righteous? 9Hast thou an arm like the Lord's? or dost thou thunder with a voice like his? 10Assume now a lofty bearing and power; and clothe thyself with glory and honour. 11And send forth messengers with wrath; and lay low every haughty one. 12Bring down also the proud man; and consume at once the ungodly. 13And hide them together in the earth; and fill their faces with shame. 14 Then will I confess that thy right hand can save thee. 15But now look at the wild beasts with thee; they eat grass like oxen. 16Behold now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly. 17He sets up his tail like a cypress; and his nerves are wrapped together. 18His sides are sides of brass; and his backbone is as cast iron. 19This is the chief of the creation of the Lord; made to be played with by his angels. 20And when he has gone up to a steep mountain, he causes joy to the quadrupeds in the deep. 21He lies under trees of every kind, by the papyrus, and reed, and bulrush. 22And the great trees make a shadow over him with their branches, and so do the bushes of the field. 23If there should be a flood, he will not perceive it; he trust that Jordan will rush up into his mouth. 24 Yet one shall take him in his sight; one shall catch him with a cord, and pierce his nose.
