Job
[XL
- Doth the eagle mount up at thy command,
- And make her nest on high?
- She dwelleth and abideth on the rock,
- Upon the crag of the rock, and the strong place.
- From thence she seeketh the prey,
- And her eyes behold afar off.
- Her young ones also suck up blood:
- And where the slain are, there is she.
Moreover the Lord answered Job, and said,
- Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him?
- He that reproveth God, let him answer it.
Then Job answered the Lord, and said,
- Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee?
- I will lay mine hand upon my mouth.
- Once have I spoken; but I will not answer:
- Yea, twice; but I will proceed no further.
Then answered the Lord unto Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
- Gird up thy loins now like a man:
- I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.
- Wilt thou also disannul my judgment?
- Wilt thou condemn me, that thou may est be righteous?
- Hast thou an arm like God?
- Or canst thou thunder with a voice like him?
[ 86 ]
