Job 26
1 Then Job answered, and said,
respondens autem Iob dixit
2 How thou have helped him who is without power! How thou have saved the arm that has no strength!
cuius adiutor es numquid inbecilli et sustentas brachium eius qui non est fortis
3 How thou have counseled him who has no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge!
cui dedisti consilium forsitan illi qui non habet sapientiam et prudentiam tuam ostendisti plurimam
4 To whom have thou uttered words? And whose spirit came forth from thee?
quem docere voluisti nonne eum qui fecit spiramen tuum
5 Those who are deceased tremble beneath the waters and the inhabitants of it.
ecce gigantes gemunt sub aquis et qui habitant cum eis
nudus est inferus coram illo et nullum est operimentum perditioni (Sheol h7585)
7 He stretches out the north over empty space, and hangs the earth upon nothing.
qui extendit aquilonem super vacuum et adpendit terram super nihili
8 He binds up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not burst under them.
qui ligat aquas in nubibus suis ut non erumpant pariter deorsum
9 He encloses the face of his throne, and spreads his cloud upon it.
qui tenet vultum solii sui et expandit super illud nebulam suam
10 He has described a boundary upon the face of the waters, to the confines of light and darkness.
terminum circumdedit aquis usque dum finiantur lux et tenebrae
11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his rebuke.
columnae caeli contremescunt et pavent ad nutum eius
12 He stirs up the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smites through Rahab.
in fortitudine illius repente maria congregata sunt et prudentia eius percussit superbum
13 By his Spirit the heavens are garnished. His hand has pierced the swift serpent.
spiritus eius ornavit caelos et obsetricante manu eius eductus est coluber tortuosus
14 Lo, these are but the periphery of his ways. And how small a whisper do we hear of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand?
ecce haec ex parte dicta sunt viarum eius et cum vix parvam stillam sermonis eius audierimus quis poterit tonitruum magnitudinis illius intueri
