Job 26
1 Job svarade, och sade:
But Job answered and said,
2 Hvem äst du biståndig? Dem som ingen magt hafver? Hjelper du honom, som ingen starkhet hafver i armenom?
How have you helped him that is without power? how save you the arm that has no strength?
3 Hvem gifver du råd? Dem som intet vet? Och du bär fram dina stora gerningar?
How have you counselled him that has no wisdom? and how have you plentifully declared the thing as it is?
4 För hvem talar du? Och inför hvem går anden ifrå dig?
To whom have you uttered words? and whose spirit came from you?
5 De Reser ängslas under vattnen, och de som när dem bo.
Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof.
Hell is naked before him, and destruction has no covering. (Sheol h7585)
7 Han sträcker ut nordet på ingo, och hänger jordena uppå intet.
He stretches out the north over the empty place, and hangs the earth upon nothing.
8 Vattnet samkar han i sina skyar, och skyarna remna icke derunder.
He binds up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.
9 Han håller sin stol, och utbreder sin sky derföre.
He holds back the face of his throne, and spreads his cloud upon it.
10 Han hafver satt ett mål om vattnet, intilldess ljus och mörker blifver ändadt.
He has compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.
11 Himmelens stodar skälfva, och gifva sig för hans näpst.
The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.
12 För hans kraft varder hafvet hasteliga stormande, och för hans klokhet stillar sig hafsens höghet.
He divides the sea with his power, and by his understanding he strikes through the proud.
13 På himmelen varder det klart igenom hans väder, och hans hand drifver bort hvalfisken.
By his spirit he has garnished the heavens; his hand has formed the crooked serpent.
14 Si, alltså går det till med hans gerningar; men hvad besynnerligit hafve vi derutinnan hört? Ho kan förstå hans magts dunder?
Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand?
