Job 40:1-7

1 (39-34) A más de eso respondió Jehová á Job y dijo:

2 (39-35) ¿Es sabiduría contender con el Omnipotente? El que disputa con Dios, responda á esto.

3 (39-36) Y respondió Job á Jehová, y dijo:

4 (39-37) He aquí que yo soy vil, ¿qué te responderé? Mi mano pongo sobre mi boca.

5 (39-38) Una vez hablé, y no responderé: Aun dos veces, mas no tornaré á hablar.

6 (40-1) ENTONCES respondió Jehová á Job desde la oscuridad, y dijo:

7 (40-2) Cíñete ahora como varón tus lomos; Yo te preguntaré, y explícame.

Job 40:1-7 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO JOB 40

In this chapter Job is called upon to give in his answer, Job 40:1,2, which he does in the most humble manner, acknowledging his vileness and folly, Job 40:3-5; and then the Lord proceeds to give him further conviction of his superior justice and power, Job 40:6-9; and one thing he proposes to him, to humble the proud, if he could, and then he would own his own right hand could save him, Job 40:10-15; and observes to him another instance of his power in a creature called behemoth, which he had made, and gives a description of, Job 40:15-24.
