CENEVAN TRANSLATION. Edin.: Printed by ALEX. ARBUTHNOT. 1578.

KING JAMES' OR PRESENT TRANSLATION.

CHAP. XL.

6 Again the Lord answered Job out of the whirlewind and said,

13 Hide them in the dust together, and binde their faces in a secret place.

15 Behold now Behemoth (whom I made with thee) which eateth grasse as an oxe.

16 Behold now, his strength is in his loines, and his force is in the navill of his belly.

17 When he taketh pleasure, his tayle is like a cedar : the sinewes of his stones are wrapt together.

18 His bones are like staves of brasse, and his small bones like staves of yron.

19 He is the chiefe of the wayes of God: hee that made him will make his sword to approach unto him.

20 Surely the mountaines bring him forth grasse, where all the beastes of the field play.

21 Lieth he under the trees in the cover of the reede and fennes?

22 Can the trees cover him with their shadow ? or can the willowes of the river compasse him about?

23 Behold hee spoyleth the river, and hasteth not: hee trusteth that he can draw up Jorden into his mouth.

24 He taketh it with his eyes, and thrusteth his nose through whatsoever meeteth him.

CHAP. XL.

6 Then answered the Lord unto Job out of the whirlwind, and said,

13 Hide them in the dust together, and bind their faces in secret.

15 Behold now Behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.

16 Lo now his strength is in his loins, and his force is in navel of his belly.

17 He moveth his tail like a cedar: and the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.

18 His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.

19 He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him.

20 Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.

21 He lieth under the shady trees, in the cover of the reed, and fens.

22 The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.

23 Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.

24 He taketh it with his eyes; his nose pierceth through

snares.

CHAP. XLI.

6 Shall thy companions make a banquet of him? shall they part him among the merchants?

7 Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons ? or his head with fish-spears.

[The present version makes a different division of the fortieth and forty-first chapters from the others.]

15 His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal.

18 By his neesings a light doth shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.

19 Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out.

22 In his neck remaineth strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him.

24 His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a piece of the nether millstone.

25 When he raiseth up himself, the mighty are afraid : by reason of breakings they purify themselves.

30 Sharp stones are under him: he spreadeth sharp-pointed things upon the mire.
