¹But Job answered and said,

¹Siis rääkis Iiob ja ütles:

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

²'Kuidas sa küll oled aidanud rammetut, toetanud jõuetut käsivart!

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

³Kuidas sa küll oled rumalale nõu andnud ja suurt tarkust õpetanud!

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

⁴Kelle abiga sa oled pidanud kõnesid ja kelle vaim on sinust välja tulnud?

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

⁵Surnute vaimud all värisevad, hirmu täis on veed ja nende elanikud.

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

⁶Paljas on surmavald Jumala ees ja kadupaigal pole katet.

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

⁷Ta laotab põhjakaare tühjuse üle ja riputab maa eimillegi kohale.

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

⁸Ta seob veed oma pilvedesse ja pilv ei rebenegi nende raskuse all.

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

⁹Ta peidab oma aujärje, laotab selle üle oma pilve.

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

¹⁰Ta joonistab vetepinnale sõõri kuni valguse ja pimeduse piirini.

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

¹¹Taeva sambad kõiguvad ja kohkuvad tema sõitlusest.

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

¹²Oma rammuga liigutab ta merd ja oma taibukuses peksab ta Rahabit.

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

¹³Tema hingusest selgib taevas, tema käsi torkab läbi põgeneva mao.

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?

¹⁴Vaata, need on ainult tema tee ääred. Ja see on siiski ainult sosin, mida me temast kuuleme. Aga tema vägevuse äikest - kes seda suudaks mõista?'
