1Respondens autem Job dixit:
1Then Job answered, and said:
2[Cujus adjutor es? numquid imbecillis? et sustentas brachium ejus qui non est fortis?
2Whose helper art thou? is it of him that is weak? and dost thou hold up the arm of him that has no strength?
3Cui dedisti consilium? forsitan illi qui non habet sapientiam: et prudentiam tuam ostendisti plurimam.
3To whom hast thou given counsel? perhaps to him that hath no wisdom, and thou hast shewn thy very great prudence.
4Quem docere voluisti? nonne eum qui fecit spiramentum?
4Whom hast thou desired to teach? was it not him that made life?
5Ecce gigantes gemunt sub aquis, et qui habitant cum eis.
5Behold the giants groan under the waters, and they that dwell with them.
6Nudus est infernus coram illo, et nullum est operimentum perditioni.
6Hell is naked before him, and there is no covering for destruction.
7Qui extendit aquilonem super vacuum, et appendit terram super nihilum.
7He stretched out the north over the empty space, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.
8Qui ligat aquas in nubibus suis, ut non erumpant pariter deorsum.
8He bindeth up the waters in his clouds, so that they break not out and fall down together.
9Qui tenet vultum solii sui, et expandit super illud nebulam suam.
9He withholdeth the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud over it.
10Terminum circumdedit aquis, usque dum finiantur lux et tenebræ.
10He hath set bounds about the waters, till light and darkness come to an end.
11Columnæ cæli contremiscunt, et pavent ad nutum ejus.
11The pillars of heaven tremble, and dread at his beck.
12In fortitudine illius repente maria congregata sunt, et prudentia ejus percussit superbum.
12By his power the seas are suddenly gathered together, and his wisdom has struck the proud one.
13Spiritus ejus ornavit cælos, et obstetricante manu ejus, eductus est coluber tortuosus.
13His spirit hath adorned the heavens, and his obstetric hand brought forth the winding serpent.
14Ecce hæc ex parte dicta sunt viarum ejus: et cum vix parvam stillam sermonis ejus audierimus, quis poterit tonitruum magnitudinis illius intueri?]
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?
