The Latin Vulgate VUL
New International Version NIV
1 respondens autem Iob dixit
1
Then Job replied:
2 cuius adiutor es numquid inbecilli et sustentas brachium eius qui non est fortis
2
“How you have helped the powerless! How you have saved the arm that is feeble!
3 cui dedisti consilium forsitan illi qui non habet sapientiam et prudentiam tuam ostendisti plurimam
3
What advice you have offered to one without wisdom! And what great insight you have displayed!
4 quem docere voluisti nonne eum qui fecit spiramen tuum
4
Who has helped you utter these words? And whose spirit spoke from your mouth?
5 ecce gigantes gemunt sub aquis et qui habitant cum eis
5
“The dead are in deep anguish, those beneath the waters and all that live in them.
6 nudus est inferus coram illo et nullum est operimentum perditioni
6
The realm of the dead is naked before God; Destruction lies uncovered.
7 qui extendit aquilonem super vacuum et adpendit terram super nihili
7
He spreads out the northern skies over empty space; he suspends the earth over nothing.
8 qui ligat aquas in nubibus suis ut non erumpant pariter deorsum
8
He wraps up the waters in his clouds, yet the clouds do not burst under their weight.
9 qui tenet vultum solii sui et expandit super illud nebulam suam
9
He covers the face of the full moon, spreading his clouds over it.
10 terminum circumdedit aquis usque dum finiantur lux et tenebrae
10
He marks out the horizon on the face of the waters for a boundary between light and darkness.
11 columnae caeli contremescunt et pavent ad nutum eius
11
The pillars of the heavens quake, aghast at his rebuke.
12 in fortitudine illius repente maria congregata sunt et prudentia eius percussit superbum
12
By his power he churned up the sea; by his wisdom he cut Rahab to pieces.
13 spiritus eius ornavit caelos et obsetricante manu eius eductus est coluber tortuosus
13
By his breath the skies became fair; his hand pierced the gliding serpent.
14 ecce haec ex parte dicta sunt viarum eius et cum vix parvam stillam sermonis eius audierimus quis poterit tonitruum magnitudinis illius intueri
14
And these are but the outer fringe of his works; how faint the whisper we hear of him! Who then can understand the thunder of his power?”
