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