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