¹But Job answered and said,

¹Job progovori i reče:

²How hast thou helped him that is without power? how savest thou the arm that hath no strength?

²"Kako dobro znadeš pomoći nemoćnom i mišicu iznemoglu poduprijeti!

³How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom? and how hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?

³Kako dobar savjet daješ neukome; baš si preveliku mudrost pokazao.

⁴To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?

⁴Kome li si ove uputio riječi i koji duh je iz tebe govorio?"

⁵Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof.

⁵Pred Bogom mrtvi pod zemljom dolje strepe, vode morske dršću i nemani njine.

⁶Hell is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering.

⁶Pred njegovim okom otkriven zja Šeol i bezdan smrti nema vela na sebi.

⁷He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.

⁷On povrh praznine Sjever razapinje, on drži zemlju o ništa obješenu.

⁸He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.

⁸On zatvara vodu u svoje oblake, a oblaci se pod njome ne prodiru.

⁹He holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it.

⁹On zastire puno lice mjesečevo razastirući svoj oblak preko njega.

¹⁰He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.

¹⁰On je na vodi označio kružnicu gdje prestaje svjetlost i tmine počinju.

¹¹The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.

¹¹Svodu se nebeskom potresu stupovi i premru od straha kada on zaprijeti.

¹²He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud.

¹²Svojom je snagom on ukrotio more i neman Rahaba smrvio mudrošću.

¹³By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.

¹³Nebesa je svojim razbistrio dahom, a ruka mu je brzu zmiju probola.

¹⁴Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand?

¹⁴Sve to samo djelić je djela njegovih, od kojih tek slabu jeku mi čujemo. Ali tko će shvatit' grom njegove moći?"
