Job 26

Job 26 - Versions
Job 26 Text (WEB) Then Job answered, "How have you helped him who is without power! How have you saved the arm that has no strength! How have you counseled him who has no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge! To whom have you uttered words? Whose spirit came forth from you? "Those who are deceased tremble, those beneath the waters and all that live in them. Sheol is naked before God, and Abaddon has no covering. He stretches out the north over empty space, and hangs the earth on nothing. He binds up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not burst under them. He encloses the face of his throne, and spreads his cloud on it. He has described a boundary on the surface of the waters, and to the confines of light and darkness. The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his rebuke. He stirs up the sea with his power, and by his understanding he strikes through Rahab. By his Spirit the heavens are garnished. His hand has pierced the swift serpent. Behold, these are but the outskirts of his ways. How small a whisper do we hear of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand?"
Job 26 Text (Hebrew) ויען איוב ויאמר׃ מה־עזרת ללא־כח הושעת זרוע לא־עז׃ מה־יעצת ללא חכמה ותושיה לרב הודעת׃ את־מי הגדת מלין ונשמת־מי יצאה ממך׃ הרפאים יחוללו מתחת מים ושכניהם׃ ערום שאול נגדו ואין כסות לאבדון׃ נטה צפון על־תהו תלה ארץ על־בלי־מה׃ צרר־מים בעביו ולא־נבקע עןן תחתם׃ מאחז פני־כסה פרשז עליו עננו׃ חק־חג על־פני־מים עד־תכלית אור עם־חשך׃ עמודי שמים ירופפו ויתמהו מגערתו׃ בכחו רגע הים מחץ רהב׃ ברוחו שמים שפרה חללה ידו נחש בריח׃ הן־אלה קצות ומה־שמץ דבר נשמע־בו ורעם מי יתבוןן׃ ס

Job 26 Text (Latin) Respondens autem Job dixit : Cujus adjutor es ? numquid imbecillis ? et sustentas brachium ejus qui non est fortis ? Cui dedisti consilium ? forsitan illi qui non habet sapientiam, et prudentiam tuam ostendisti plurimam. Quem docere voluisti ? nonne eum qui fecit spiramentum ? Ecce gigantes gemunt sub aquis, et qui habitant cum eis. Nudus est infernus coram illo, et nullum est operimentum perditioni. Qui extendit aquilonem super vacuum, et appendit terram super nihilum. Qui ligat aquas in nubibus suis, ut non erumpant pariter deorsum. Qui tenet vultum solii sui, et expandit super illud nebulam suam. Terminum circumdedit aquis, usque dum finiantur lux et tenebræ. Columnæ cæli contremiscunt, et pavent ad nutum ejus. In fortitudine illius repente maria congregata sunt, et prudentia ejus percussit superbum. Spiritus ejus ornavit cælos, et obstetricante manu ejus, eductus est coluber tortuosus. Ecce hæc ex parte dicta sunt viarum ejus : et cum vix parvam stillam sermonis ejus audierimus, quis poterit tonitruum magnitudinis illius intueri ?
Job 26 Text (KJV) But Job answered and said, How hast thou helped him that is without power? how savest thou the arm that hath no strength? How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom? and how hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is? To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee? Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof. Hell is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering. He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing. He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them. He holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it. He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end. The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof. He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud. By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent. Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand?
