< 约伯记 26 >
But Job answered and said,
2 无能的人蒙你何等的帮助! 膀臂无力的人蒙你何等的拯救!
To whom do you attach yourself, or whom are you going to assist? is it not he that [has] much strength, and [he] who has a strong arm?
3 无智慧的人蒙你何等的指教! 你向他多显大知识!
To whom have you given counsel? is it not to him who has all wisdom? whom will you follow? is it not one who has the greatest power?
To whom have you uttered words? and whose breath is it that has come forth from you?
Shall giants be born from under the water and the inhabitants thereof?
6 在 神面前,阴间显露; 灭亡也不得遮掩。 (Sheol )
Hell is naked before him, and destruction has no covering. (Sheol )
He stretches out the north wind upon nothing, and he upon nothing hangs the earth;
binding water in his clouds, and the cloud is not tore under it.
He keeps back the face of his throne, stretching out his cloud upon it.
10 在水面的周围划出界限, 直到光明黑暗的交界。
He has encompassed the face of the water by an appointed ordinance, until the end of light and darkness.
The pillars of heaven are prostrate and astonished at his rebuke.
He has calmed the sea with [his] might, and by [his] wisdom the whale has been overthrown.
And the barriers of heaven fear him, and by a command he has slain the apostate dragon.
14 看哪,这不过是 神工作的些微; 我们所听于他的是何等细微的声音! 他大能的雷声谁能明透呢?
Behold, these are parts of his way; and we will listen to him at the least intimation of his word: but the strength of his thunder who knows, when he shall employ [it]?
