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