< Job 26 >

1 Bvt Iob answered, and sayde,
וַיַּ֥עַן אִיּ֗וֹב וַיֹּאמַֽר׃
2 Whom helpest thou? him that hath no power? sauest thou the arme that hath no strength?
מֶה־עָזַ֥רְתָּ לְלֹא־כֹ֑חַ ה֝וֹשַׁ֗עְתָּ זְר֣וֹעַ לֹא־עֹֽז׃
3 Whome counsellest thou? him that hath no wisedome? thou shewest right well as the thing is.
מַה־יָּ֭עַצְתָּ לְלֹ֣א חָכְמָ֑ה וְ֝תוּשִׁיָּ֗ה לָרֹ֥ב הוֹדָֽעְתָּ׃
4 To whom doest thou declare these words? or whose spirit commeth out of thee?
אֶת־מִ֭י הִגַּ֣דְתָּ מִלִּ֑ין וְנִשְׁמַת־מִ֝י יָצְאָ֥ה מִמֶּֽךָּ׃
5 The dead things are formed vnder the waters, and neere vnto them.
הָרְפָאִ֥ים יְחוֹלָ֑לוּ מִתַּ֥חַת מַ֝֗יִם וְשֹׁכְנֵיהֶֽם׃
6 The graue is naked before him, and there is no couering for destruction. (Sheol h7585)
עָר֣וֹם שְׁא֣וֹל נֶגְדּ֑וֹ וְאֵ֥ין כְּ֝ס֗וּת לָֽאֲבַדּֽוֹן׃ (Sheol h7585)
7 He stretcheth out the North ouer the emptie place, and hangeth the earth vpon nothing.
נֹטֶ֣ה צָפ֣וֹן עַל־תֹּ֑הוּ תֹּ֥לֶה אֶ֝֗רֶץ עַל־בְּלִי־מָֽה׃
8 He bindeth the waters in his cloudes, and the cloude is not broken vnder them.
צֹרֵֽר־מַ֥יִם בְּעָבָ֑יו וְלֹא־נִבְקַ֖ע עָנָ֣ן תַּחְתָּֽם׃
9 He holdeth backe the face of his throne: and spreadeth his cloude vpon it.
מְאַחֵ֥ז פְּנֵי־כִסֵּ֑ה פַּרְשֵׁ֖ז עָלָ֣יו עֲנָנֽוֹ׃
10 He hath set bounds about the waters, vntil the day and night come to an ende.
חֹֽק־חָ֭ג עַל־פְּנֵי־מָ֑יִם עַד־תַּכְלִ֖ית א֣וֹר עִם־חֹֽשֶׁךְ׃
11 The pillars of heauen tremble and quake at his reproofe.
עַמּוּדֵ֣י שָׁמַ֣יִם יְרוֹפָ֑פוּ וְ֝יִתְמְה֗וּ מִגַּעֲרָתֽוֹ׃
12 The sea is calme by his power, and by his vnderstanding he smiteth the pride thereof.
בְּ֭כֹחוֹ רָגַ֣ע הַיָּ֑ם ובתובנתו מָ֣חַץ רָֽהַב׃
13 His Spirite hath garnished the heauens, and his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.
בְּ֭רוּחוֹ שָׁמַ֣יִם שִׁפְרָ֑ה חֹֽלֲלָ֥ה יָ֝ד֗וֹ נָחָ֥שׁ בָּרִֽיחַ׃
14 Loe, these are part of his wayes: but how litle a portion heare we of him? and who can vnderstand his fearefull power?
הֶן־אֵ֤לֶּה ׀ קְצ֬וֹת דרכו וּמַה־שֵּׁ֣מֶץ דָּ֭בָר נִשְׁמַע־בּ֑וֹ וְרַ֥עַם גבורתו מִ֣י יִתְבּוֹנָֽן׃ ס
