1ΥΠΟΛΑΒΩΝ δὲ Ἰὼβ λέγει·
1Then Job answered, and said:
2τίνι πρόσκεισαι ἢ τίνι μέλλεις βοηθεῖν; πότερον, οὐχ ᾧ πολλὴ ἰσχὺς καὶ ᾧ βραχίων κραταιός ἐστι;
2Whose helper art thou? is it of him that is weak? and dost thou hold up the arm of him that has no strength?
3τίνι συμβεβούλευσαι; οὐχ ᾧ πᾶσα σοφία; τίνι ἐπακολουθήσεις; οὐχ ᾧ μεγίστη δύναμις;
3To whom hast thou given counsel? perhaps to him that hath no wisdom, and thou hast shewn thy very great prudence.
4τίνι ἀνήγγειλας ρήματα; πνοὴ δὲ τίνος ἐστὶν ἡ ἐλθοῦσα ἐκ σοῦ;
4Whom hast thou desired to teach? was it not him that made life?
5μὴ γίγαντες μαιωθήσονται ὑποκάτωθεν ὕδατος καὶ τῶν γειτόνων αὐτοῦ;
5Behold the giants groan under the waters, and they that dwell with them.
6γυμνὸς ὁ ᾅδης ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἔστι περιβόλαιον τῇ ἀπωλείᾳ.
6Hell is naked before him, and there is no covering for destruction.
7ἐκτείνων βορέαν ἐπ᾿ οὐδέν, κρεμάζων γῆν ἐπὶ οὐδενός·
7He stretched out the north over the empty space, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.
8δεσμεύων ὕδωρ ἐν νεφέλαις αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἐρράγη νέφος ὑποκάτω αὐτοῦ·
8He bindeth up the waters in his clouds, so that they break not out and fall down together.
9ὁ κρατῶν πρόσωπον θρόνου, ἐκπετάζων ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸν νέφος αὐτοῦ.
9He withholdeth the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud over it.
10πρόσταγμα ἐγύρωσεν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον ὕδατος μέχρι συντελείας φωτὸς μετὰ σκότους.
10He hath set bounds about the waters, till light and darkness come to an end.
11στῦλοι οὐρανοῦ ἐπετάσθησαν καὶ ἐξέστησαν ἀπὸ τῆς ἐπιτιμήσεως αὐτοῦ.
11The pillars of heaven tremble, and dread at his beck.
12ἰσχύϊ κατέπαυσε τὴν θάλασσαν, ἐπιστήμῃ δὲ ἔστρωσε τὸ κῆτος·
12By his power the seas are suddenly gathered together, and his wisdom has struck the proud one.
13κλεῖθρα δὲ οὐρανοῦ δεδοίκασιν αὐτόν, προστάγματι δὲ ἐθανάτωσε δράκοντα ἀποστάτην.
13His spirit hath adorned the heavens, and his obstetric hand brought forth the winding serpent.
14ἰδοὺ ταῦτα μέρη ὁδοῦ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπὶ ἰκμάδα λόγου ἀκουσόμεθα ἐν αὐτῷ· σθένος δὲ βροντῆς αὐτοῦ τίς οἶδεν ὁπότε ποιήσει;
14Lo, these things are said in part of his ways: and seeing we have heard scarce a little drop of his word, who shall be able to behold the thunder of his greatness?
