Job 26
1 Job replied,
respondens autem Iob dixit
2 “How helpful you have been to this feeble man that I am. How supportive you have been to the weak.
cuius adiutor es numquid inbecilli et sustentas brachium eius qui non est fortis
3 What good advice you have given to this ignorant man, demonstrating you have so much wisdom.
cui dedisti consilium forsitan illi qui non habet sapientiam et prudentiam tuam ostendisti plurimam
4 Who helped you speak these words? Who inspired you to say such things?
quem docere voluisti nonne eum qui fecit spiramen tuum
5 The dead tremble, those beneath the waters.
ecce gigantes gemunt sub aquis et qui habitant cum eis
nudus est inferus coram illo et nullum est operimentum perditioni (Sheol h7585)
7 He stretches the northern sky over empty space; he hangs the world on nothing.
qui extendit aquilonem super vacuum et adpendit terram super nihili
8 He gathers the rain in his storm clouds which do not break under the weight.
qui ligat aquas in nubibus suis ut non erumpant pariter deorsum
9 He veils his throne; covering it with his clouds.
qui tenet vultum solii sui et expandit super illud nebulam suam
10 On the surface of the waters he set a boundary; he set a limit dividing light from darkness.
terminum circumdedit aquis usque dum finiantur lux et tenebrae
11 The pillars of heaven tremble; they shake with fear at his rebuke.
columnae caeli contremescunt et pavent ad nutum eius
12 He calmed the sea with his power; because he knew what to do he crushed Rahab.
in fortitudine illius repente maria congregata sunt et prudentia eius percussit superbum
13 The breath of his voice made the heavens beautiful; with his hand he pierced the gliding serpent.
spiritus eius ornavit caelos et obsetricante manu eius eductus est coluber tortuosus
14 This is just a little of all he does—what we hear of him is hardly a whisper, so who can understand his thunderous power?”
ecce haec ex parte dicta sunt viarum eius et cum vix parvam stillam sermonis eius audierimus quis poterit tonitruum magnitudinis illius intueri
