The Latin Vulgate VUL
New King James Version NKJV
1 respondens autem Iob dixit
1
But Job answered and said:
2 cuius adiutor es numquid inbecilli et sustentas brachium eius qui non est fortis
2
"How have you helped him who is without power? How have you saved the arm that has no strength?
3 cui dedisti consilium forsitan illi qui non habet sapientiam et prudentiam tuam ostendisti plurimam
3
How have you counseled one who has no wisdom? And how have you declared sound advice to many?
4 quem docere voluisti nonne eum qui fecit spiramen tuum
4
To whom have you uttered words? And whose spirit came from you?
5 ecce gigantes gemunt sub aquis et qui habitant cum eis
5
"The dead tremble, Those under the waters and those inhabiting them.
6 nudus est inferus coram illo et nullum est operimentum perditioni
6
Sheol is naked before Him, And Destruction has no covering.
7 qui extendit aquilonem super vacuum et adpendit terram super nihili
7
He stretches out the north over empty space; He hangs the earth on nothing.
8 qui ligat aquas in nubibus suis ut non erumpant pariter deorsum
8
He binds up the water in His thick clouds, Yet the clouds are not broken under it.
9 qui tenet vultum solii sui et expandit super illud nebulam suam
9
He covers the face of His throne, And spreads His cloud over it.
10 terminum circumdedit aquis usque dum finiantur lux et tenebrae
10
He drew a circular horizon on the face of the waters, At the boundary of light and darkness.
11 columnae caeli contremescunt et pavent ad nutum eius
11
The pillars of heaven tremble, And are astonished at His rebuke.
12 in fortitudine illius repente maria congregata sunt et prudentia eius percussit superbum
12
He stirs up the sea with His power, And by His understanding He breaks up the storm.
13 spiritus eius ornavit caelos et obsetricante manu eius eductus est coluber tortuosus
13
By His Spirit He adorned the heavens; His hand pierced the fleeing 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
Indeed these are the mere edges of His ways, And how small a whisper we hear of Him! But the thunder of His power who can understand?"
