Job 26

1 Bvt Iob answered, and sayde,

respondens autem Iob dixit

2 Whom helpest thou? him that hath no power? sauest thou the arme that hath no strength?

cuius adiutor es numquid inbecilli et sustentas brachium eius qui non est fortis

3 Whome counsellest thou? him that hath no wisedome? thou shewest right well as the thing is.

cui dedisti consilium forsitan illi qui non habet sapientiam et prudentiam tuam ostendisti plurimam

4 To whom doest thou declare these words? or whose spirit commeth out of thee?

quem docere voluisti nonne eum qui fecit spiramen tuum

5 The dead things are formed vnder the waters, and neere vnto them.

ecce gigantes gemunt sub aquis et qui habitant cum eis

6 The graue is naked before him, and there is no couering for destruction. (Sheol h7585)

nudus est inferus coram illo et nullum est operimentum perditioni (Sheol h7585)

7 He stretcheth out the North ouer the emptie place, and hangeth the earth vpon nothing.

qui extendit aquilonem super vacuum et adpendit terram super nihili

8 He bindeth the waters in his cloudes, and the cloude is not broken vnder them.

qui ligat aquas in nubibus suis ut non erumpant pariter deorsum

9 He holdeth backe the face of his throne: and spreadeth his cloude vpon it.

qui tenet vultum solii sui et expandit super illud nebulam suam

10 He hath set bounds about the waters, vntil the day and night come to an ende.

terminum circumdedit aquis usque dum finiantur lux et tenebrae

11 The pillars of heauen tremble and quake at his reproofe.

columnae caeli contremescunt et pavent ad nutum eius

12 The sea is calme by his power, and by his vnderstanding he smiteth the pride thereof.

in fortitudine illius repente maria congregata sunt et prudentia eius percussit superbum

13 His Spirite hath garnished the heauens, and his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.

spiritus eius ornavit caelos et obsetricante manu eius eductus est coluber tortuosus

14 Loe, these are part of his wayes: but how litle a portion heare we of him? and who can vnderstand his fearefull power?

ecce haec ex parte dicta sunt viarum eius et cum vix parvam stillam sermonis eius audierimus quis poterit tonitruum magnitudinis illius intueri
