Job 26
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Then Job answered and said:
1Respondens autem Job dixit:
2How hast thou helped him that is without power! How hast thou saved the arm that hath no strength!
2[Cujus adjutor es? numquid imbecillis? et sustentas brachium ejus qui non est fortis?
3How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge!
3Cui dedisti consilium? forsitan illi qui non habet sapientiam: et prudentiam tuam ostendisti plurimam.
4With whose help hast thou uttered words? And whose spirit came forth from thee?
4Quem docere voluisti? nonne eum qui fecit spiramentum?
5The shades tremble beneath the waters and the inhabitants thereof.
5Ecce gigantes gemunt sub aquis, et qui habitant cum eis.
6The nether-world is naked before Him, and Destruction hath no covering.
6Nudus est infernus coram illo, et nullum est operimentum perditioni.
7He stretcheth out the north over the empty space, and hangeth the earth over nothing.
7Qui extendit aquilonem super vacuum, et appendit terram super nihilum.
8He bindeth up the waters in His thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.
8Qui ligat aquas in nubibus suis, ut non erumpant pariter deorsum.
9He closeth in the face of His throne, and spreadeth His cloud upon it.
9Qui tenet vultum solii sui, et expandit super illud nebulam suam.
10He hath described a boundary upon the face of the waters, unto the confines of light and darkness.
10Terminum circumdedit aquis, usque dum finiantur lux et tenebræ.
11The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at His rebuke.
11Columnæ cæli contremiscunt, et pavent ad nutum ejus.
12He stirreth up the sea with His power, and by His understanding He smiteth through Rahab.
12In fortitudine illius repente maria congregata sunt, et prudentia ejus percussit superbum.
13By His breath the heavens are serene; His hand hath pierced the slant serpent.
13Spiritus ejus ornavit cælos, et obstetricante manu ejus, eductus est coluber tortuosus.
14Lo, these are but the outskirts of His ways; and how small a whisper is heard of Him! But the thunder of His mighty deeds who can understand?
14Ecce hæc ex parte dicta sunt viarum ejus: et cum vix parvam stillam sermonis ejus audierimus, quis poterit tonitruum magnitudinis illius intueri?]
