Job 26

1 But Job answered and said,

ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Ιωβ λέγει

2 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?

τίνι πρόσκεισαι ἢ τίνι μέλλεις βοηθεῖν πότερον οὐχ ᾧ πολλὴ ἰσχὺς καὶ ᾧ βραχίων κραταιός ἐστιν

3 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?

τίνι συμβεβούλευσαι οὐχ ᾧ πᾶσα σοφία ἢ τίνι ἐπακολουθήσεις οὐχ ᾧ μεγίστη δύναμις

4 To whom have you uttered words? and whose breath is it that has come forth from you?

τίνι ἀνήγγειλας ῥήματα πνοὴ δὲ τίνος ἐστὶν ἡ ἐξελθοῦσα ἐκ σοῦ

5 Shall giants be born from under the water and the inhabitants thereof?

μὴ γίγαντες μαιωθήσονται ὑποκάτωθεν ὕδατος καὶ τῶν γειτόνων αὐτοῦ

6 Hell is naked before him, and destruction has no covering. (Sheol h7585)

γυμνὸς ὁ ᾅδης ἐπώπιον αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν περιβόλαιον τῇ ἀπωλείᾳ (Sheol h7585)

7 He stretches out the north wind upon nothing, and he upon nothing hangs the earth;

ἐκτείνων βορέαν ἐπ’ οὐδέν κρεμάζων γῆν ἐπὶ οὐδενός

8 binding water in his clouds, and the cloud is not tore under it.

δεσμεύων ὕδωρ ἐν νεφέλαις αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἐρράγη νέφος ὑποκάτω αὐτοῦ

9 He keeps back the face of his throne, stretching out his cloud upon it.

ὁ κρατῶν πρόσωπον θρόνου ἐκπετάζων ἐπ’ αὐτὸν νέφος αὐτοῦ

10 He has encompassed the face of the water by an appointed ordinance, until the end of light and darkness.

πρόσταγμα ἐγύρωσεν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον ὕδατος μέχρι συντελείας φωτὸς μετὰ σκότους

11 The pillars of heaven are prostrate and astonished at his rebuke.

στῦλοι οὐρανοῦ ἐπετάσθησαν καὶ ἐξέστησαν ἀπὸ τῆς ἐπιτιμήσεως αὐτοῦ

12 He has calmed the sea with [his] might, and by [his] wisdom the whale has been overthrown.

ἰσχύι κατέπαυσεν τὴν θάλασσαν ἐπιστήμῃ δὲ ἔτρωσε τὸ κῆτος

13 And the barriers of heaven fear him, and by a command he has slain the apostate dragon.

κλεῖθρα δὲ οὐρανοῦ δεδοίκασιν αὐτόν προστάγματι δὲ ἐθανάτωσεν δράκοντα ἀποστάτην

14 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]?

ἰδοὺ ταῦτα μέρη ὁδοῦ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπὶ ἰκμάδα λόγου ἀκουσόμεθα ἐν αὐτῷ σθένος δὲ βροντῆς αὐτοῦ τίς οἶδεν ὁπότε ποιήσει
