King James Version with Apocrypha
1ΥΠΟΛΑΒΩΝ δὲ Ἰὼβ λέγει·
1But Job answered and said,
2τίνι πρόσκεισαι ἢ τίνι μέλλεις βοηθεῖν; πότερον, οὐχ ᾧ πολλὴ ἰσχὺς καὶ ᾧ βραχίων κραταιός ἐστι;
2How hast thou helped him that is without power? how savest thou the arm that hath no strength?
3τίνι συμβεβούλευσαι; οὐχ ᾧ πᾶσα σοφία; τίνι ἐπακολουθήσεις; οὐχ ᾧ μεγίστη δύναμις;
3How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom? and how hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?
4τίνι ἀνήγγειλας ρήματα; πνοὴ δὲ τίνος ἐστὶν ἡ ἐλθοῦσα ἐκ σοῦ;
4To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?
5μὴ γίγαντες μαιωθήσονται ὑποκάτωθεν ὕδατος καὶ τῶν γειτόνων αὐτοῦ;
5Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof.
6γυμνὸς ὁ ᾅδης ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἔστι περιβόλαιον τῇ ἀπωλείᾳ.
6Hell is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering.
7ἐκτείνων βορέαν ἐπ᾿ οὐδέν, κρεμάζων γῆν ἐπὶ οὐδενός·
7He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.
8δεσμεύων ὕδωρ ἐν νεφέλαις αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἐρράγη νέφος ὑποκάτω αὐτοῦ·
8He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.
9ὁ κρατῶν πρόσωπον θρόνου, ἐκπετάζων ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸν νέφος αὐτοῦ.
9He holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it.
10πρόσταγμα ἐγύρωσεν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον ὕδατος μέχρι συντελείας φωτὸς μετὰ σκότους.
10He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.
11στῦλοι οὐρανοῦ ἐπετάσθησαν καὶ ἐξέστησαν ἀπὸ τῆς ἐπιτιμήσεως αὐτοῦ.
11The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.
12ἰσχύϊ κατέπαυσε τὴν θάλασσαν, ἐπιστήμῃ δὲ ἔστρωσε τὸ κῆτος·
12He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud.
13κλεῖθρα δὲ οὐρανοῦ δεδοίκασιν αὐτόν, προστάγματι δὲ ἐθανάτωσε δράκοντα ἀποστάτην.
13By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.
14ἰδοὺ ταῦτα μέρη ὁδοῦ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπὶ ἰκμάδα λόγου ἀκουσόμεθα ἐν αὐτῷ· σθένος δὲ βροντῆς αὐτοῦ τίς οἶδεν ὁπότε ποιήσει;
14Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand?
