¹여호와께서 또 욥에게 말씀하여 가라사대

¹“Do you know the time when the mountain goats give birth? Do you watch when the doe bears fawns?

²변박하는 자가 전능자와 다투겠느냐 ? 하나님과 변론하는 자는 대답할지니라

²Can you number the months that they fulfill? Or do you know the time when they give birth?

³욥이 여호와께 대답하여 가로되

³They bow themselves, they bring forth their young, they end their labor pains.

⁴나는 미천하오니 무엇이라 주께 대답하리이까 손으로 내 입을 가릴 뿐이로소이다

⁴Their young ones become strong. They grow up in the open field. They go forth, and don’t return again.

⁵내가 한두번 말하였사온즉 다시는 더하지도 아니하겠고 대답지도 아니하겠나이다

⁵“Who has set the wild donkey free? Or who has loosened the bonds of the swift donkey,

⁶여호와께서 폭풍 가운데서 욥에게 말씀하여 가라사대

⁶Whose home I have made the wilderness, and the salt land his dwelling place?

⁷너는 대장부처럼 허리를 묶고 내가 네게 묻는 것을 대답할지니라

⁷He scorns the tumult of the city, neither does he hear the shouting of the driver.

⁸네가 내 심판을 폐하려느냐 ? 스스로 의롭다 하려 하여 나를 불의하다 하느냐 ?

⁸The range of the mountains is his pasture, He searches after every green thing.

⁹네가 하나님처럼 팔이 있느냐 ? 하나님처럼 우렁차게 울리는 소리를 내겠느냐 ?

⁹“Will the wild ox be content to serve you? Or will he stay by your feeding trough?

¹⁰너는 위엄과 존귀로 스스로 꾸미며 영광과 화미를 스스로 입을지니라

¹⁰Can you hold the wild ox in the furrow with his harness? Or will he till the valleys after you?

¹¹너의 넘치는 노를 쏟아서 교만한 자를 발견하여 낱낱이 낮추되

¹¹Will you trust him, because his strength is great? Or will you leave to him your labor?

¹²곧 모든 교만한 자를 발견하여 낮추며 악인을 그 처소에서 밟아서

¹²Will you confide in him, that he will bring home your seed, and gather the grain of your threshing floor?

¹³그들을 함께 진토에 묻고 그 얼굴을 싸서 어둑한 곳에 둘지니라

¹³“The wings of the ostrich wave proudly; but are they the feathers and plumage of love?

¹⁴그리하면 네 오른손이 너를 구원할 수 있다고 내가 인정하리라

¹⁴For she leaves her eggs on the earth, warms them in the dust,

¹⁵이제 소 같이 풀을 먹는 하마를 볼지어다 내가 너를 지은 것 같이 그것도 지었느니라

¹⁵and forgets that the foot may crush them, or that the wild animal may trample them.

¹⁶그 힘은 허리에 있고 그 세력은 배의 힘줄에 있고

¹⁶She deals harshly with her young ones, as if they were not hers. Though her labor is in vain, she is without fear,

¹⁷그 꼬리 치는 것은 백향목이 흔들리는 것 같고 그 넓적다리 힘줄은 서로 연락되었으며

¹⁷because God has deprived her of wisdom, neither has he imparted to her understanding.

¹⁸그 뼈는 놋관 같고 그 가릿대는 철장 같으니

¹⁸When she lifts up herself on high, she scorns the horse and his rider.

¹⁹그것은 하나님의 창조물 중에 으뜸이라 그것을 지은 자가 칼을 주었고

¹⁹“Have you given the horse might? Have you clothed his neck with a quivering mane?

²⁰모든 들 짐승의 노는 산은 그것을 위하여 식물을 내느니라

²⁰Have you made him to leap as a locust? The glory of his snorting is awesome.

²¹그것이 연 줄기 아래나 갈 밭 가운데나 못속에 엎드리니

²¹He paws in the valley, and rejoices in his strength. He goes out to meet the armed men.

²²연 그늘이 덮으며 시내 버들이 둘렀구나

²²He mocks at fear, and is not dismayed, neither does he turn back from the sword.

²³하수가 창일한다 할지라도 그것이 놀라지 않고 요단강이 불어 그 입에 미칠지라도 자약하니

²³The quiver rattles against him, the flashing spear and the javelin.

²⁴그것이 정신 차리고 있을 때에 누가 능히 잡을 수 있겠으며 갈고리로 그 코를 꿸 수 있겠느냐 ?

²⁴He eats up the ground with fierceness and rage, neither does he stand still at the sound of the trumpet.

²⁵

²⁵As often as the trumpet sounds he snorts, ‘Aha!’ He smells the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.

²⁶

²⁶“Is it by your wisdom that the hawk soars, and stretches her wings toward the south?

²⁷

²⁷Is it at your command that the eagle mounts up, and makes his nest on high?

²⁸

²⁸On the cliff he dwells, and makes his home, on the point of the cliff, and the stronghold.

²⁹

²⁹From there he spies out the prey. His eyes see it afar off.

³⁰

³⁰His young ones also suck up blood. Where the slain are, there he is.”
