Job 26
1 Så tog Job til Orde og svarede:
Bvt Iob answered, and sayde,
2 "Hvor har du dog hjulpet ham, den afmægtige, støttet den kraftløse Arm!
Whom helpest thou? him that hath no power? sauest thou the arme that hath no strength?
3 Hvor har du dog rådet ham, den uvise, kundgjort en Fylde af Visdom!
Whome counsellest thou? him that hath no wisedome? thou shewest right well as the thing is.
4 Hvem hjalp dig med at få Ordene frem, hvis Ånd mon der talte af dig?
To whom doest thou declare these words? or whose spirit commeth out of thee?
5 Skyggerne skælver af Angst, de, som bor under Vandene;
The dead things are formed vnder the waters, and neere vnto them.
The graue is naked before him, and there is no couering for destruction. (Sheol h7585)
7 Han udspænder Norden over det tomme, ophænger Jorden på intet;
He stretcheth out the North ouer the emptie place, and hangeth the earth vpon nothing.
8 Vandet binder han i sine Skyer, og Skylaget brister ikke derunder;
He bindeth the waters in his cloudes, and the cloude is not broken vnder them.
9 han fæstner sin Trones Hjørner og breder sit Skylag derover;
He holdeth backe the face of his throne: and spreadeth his cloude vpon it.
10 han drog en Kreds over Vandene, der, hvor Lys og Mørke skilles.
He hath set bounds about the waters, vntil the day and night come to an ende.
11 Himlens Støtter vakler, de gribes af Angst ved hans Trusel;
The pillars of heauen tremble and quake at his reproofe.
12 med Vælde bragte han Havet til Ro og knuste Rahab med Kløgt;
The sea is calme by his power, and by his vnderstanding he smiteth the pride thereof.
13 ved hans Ånde klarede Himlen op hans Hånd gennembored den flygtende Slange.
His Spirite hath garnished the heauens, and his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.
14 Se, det er kun Omridset af hans Vej, hvad hører vi andet end Hvisken? Hans Vældes Torden, hvo fatter vel den?
Loe, these are part of his wayes: but how litle a portion heare we of him? and who can vnderstand his fearefull power?
