Job 26

1 Then Job answered,

respondens autem Iob dixit

2 “How have you helped him who is without power! How have you saved the arm that has no strength!

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

3 How have you counseled him who has no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge!

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

4 To whom have you uttered words? Whose spirit came out of you?

quem docere voluisti nonne eum qui fecit spiramen tuum

5 “The departed spirits tremble, those beneath the waters and all that live in them.

ecce gigantes gemunt sub aquis et qui habitant cum eis

6 Sheol is naked before God, and Abaddon has no covering. (Sheol h7585)

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

7 He stretches out the north over empty space, and hangs the earth on nothing.

qui extendit aquilonem super vacuum et adpendit terram super nihili

8 He binds up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not burst under them.

qui ligat aquas in nubibus suis ut non erumpant pariter deorsum

9 He encloses the face of his throne, and spreads his cloud on it.

qui tenet vultum solii sui et expandit super illud nebulam suam

10 He has described a boundary on the surface of the waters, and to the confines of light and darkness.

terminum circumdedit aquis usque dum finiantur lux et tenebrae

11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his rebuke.

columnae caeli contremescunt et pavent ad nutum eius

12 He stirs up the sea with his power, and by his understanding he strikes through Rahab.

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

13 By his Spirit the heavens are garnished. His hand has pierced the swift serpent.

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

14 Behold, these are but the outskirts of his ways. How small a whisper do we hear of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand?”

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