Job 26
1 But Job answered and said,
Respondens autem Job dixit:
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?
[Cujus adjutor es? numquid imbecillis? et sustentas brachium ejus qui non est fortis?
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?
Cui dedisti consilium? forsitan illi qui non habet sapientiam: et prudentiam tuam ostendisti plurimam.
4 To whom have you uttered words? and whose breath is it that has come forth from you?
Quem docere voluisti? nonne eum qui fecit spiramentum?
5 Shall giants be born from under the water and the inhabitants thereof?
Ecce gigantes gemunt sub aquis, et qui habitant cum eis.
Nudus est infernus coram illo, et nullum est operimentum perditioni. (Sheol h7585)
7 He stretches out the north wind upon nothing, and he upon nothing hangs the earth;
Qui extendit aquilonem super vacuum, et appendit terram super nihilum.
8 binding water in his clouds, and the cloud is not tore under it.
Qui ligat aquas in nubibus suis, ut non erumpant pariter deorsum.
9 He keeps back the face of his throne, stretching out his cloud upon it.
Qui tenet vultum solii sui, et expandit super illud nebulam suam.
10 He has encompassed the face of the water by an appointed ordinance, until the end of light and darkness.
Terminum circumdedit aquis, usque dum finiantur lux et tenebræ.
11 The pillars of heaven are prostrate and astonished at his rebuke.
Columnæ cæli contremiscunt, et pavent ad nutum ejus.
12 He has calmed the sea with [his] might, and by [his] wisdom the whale has been overthrown.
In fortitudine illius repente maria congregata sunt, et prudentia ejus percussit superbum.
13 And the barriers of heaven fear him, and by a command he has slain the apostate dragon.
Spiritus ejus ornavit cælos, et obstetricante manu ejus, eductus est coluber tortuosus.
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]?
Ecce hæc ex parte dicta sunt viarum ejus: et cum vix parvam stillam sermonis ejus audierimus, quis poterit tonitruum magnitudinis illius intueri?]
