Job 26
1 Then Job answered:
respondens autem Iob dixit
2 “How you have helped the powerless and saved the arm that is feeble!
cuius adiutor es numquid inbecilli et sustentas brachium eius qui non est fortis
3 How you have counseled the unwise and provided fully sound insight!
cui dedisti consilium forsitan illi qui non habet sapientiam et prudentiam tuam ostendisti plurimam
4 To whom have you uttered these words? And whose spirit spoke through you?
quem docere voluisti nonne eum qui fecit spiramen tuum
5 The dead tremble— those beneath the waters and those who dwell in them.
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; He hangs the earth upon nothing.
qui extendit aquilonem super vacuum et adpendit terram super nihili
8 He wraps up the waters in His clouds, yet the clouds do not burst under their own weight.
qui ligat aquas in nubibus suis ut non erumpant pariter deorsum
9 He covers the face of the full moon, spreading over it His cloud.
qui tenet vultum solii sui et expandit super illud nebulam suam
10 He has inscribed a horizon on the face of the waters at the boundary between light and darkness.
terminum circumdedit aquis usque dum finiantur lux et tenebrae
11 The foundations of heaven quake, astounded at His rebuke.
columnae caeli contremescunt et pavent ad nutum eius
12 By His power He stirred the sea; by His understanding He shattered Rahab.
in fortitudine illius repente maria congregata sunt et prudentia eius percussit superbum
13 By His breath the skies were cleared; His hand pierced the fleeing serpent.
spiritus eius ornavit caelos et obsetricante manu eius eductus est coluber tortuosus
14 Indeed, these are but the fringes of His ways; how faint is the whisper we hear of Him! Who then can understand the thunder of His power?”
ecce haec ex parte dicta sunt viarum eius et cum vix parvam stillam sermonis eius audierimus quis poterit tonitruum magnitudinis illius intueri
