Book: Job · NASB95

9. Behold, the hope of him is in vain: Will not one be cast down even at the sight of him? 10. None is so fierce that he dare stir him up; Who then is he that can stand before me?

11. Who hath first given unto me, that I should repay him? Whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine.

I will not keep silence concerning his limbs, Nor his mighty strength, nor his goodly frame. 13. Who can strip off his outer garment? Who shall come within his jaws? (Job 41:9-13, ASV)

11. Who hath prevented me, that I should repay him? whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine.

YLT

9. Lo, the hope of him is found a liar, Also at his appearance is not one cast down? 10. None so fierce that he doth awake him, And who [is] he before Me stationeth himself?

11. Who hath brought before Me and I repay? Under the whole heavens it [is] mine.

I do not keep silent concerning his parts, And the matter of might, And the grace of his arrangement. 13. Who hath uncovered the face of his clothing? Within his double bridle who doth enter? (Job 41:9-13, YLT)

Why these four translations

ris3n chose ASV, WEB, KJV, and YLT for two reasons together. They are the most literal English translations available (formal-equivalence: word-for-word renderings that preserve the Hebrew and Greek grammar rather than smoothing it into modern dynamic-equivalence idiom). And they are in the public domain in the United States, which means fair-use quotation at any length requires no publisher license. Modern licensed translations (NASB95, ESV, NIV) restrict volume of quotation under their copyright terms, so they are not used at stub-level coverage here. NASB95 appears only on hand-curated rich passage hubs under Lockman Foundation's fair-use allowance.

The four:

ASV (American Standard Version, 1901). The basis of the modern critical-text English tradition.
WEB (World English Bible, contemporary). Public-domain revision in the ASV line, in current English.
KJV (King James Version, 1611). Reformation-era, Textus Receptus base.
YLT (Young's Literal Translation, Robert Young, 1862). Hyper-literal preservation of Hebrew and Greek grammar; useful for word-study work even where English reads stiff.
