¹But Job answered and said,

¹Zase odpovedal Job a riekol:

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

²Čo si pomohol tomu, kto nemá sily? Jako si zachránil rameno, ktoré nemá vlády?

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

³Čo si poradil tomu, kto nemá múdrosti? A dal si hojne poznať pravú podstatu vecí!

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

⁴Komu si zvestoval slová? A čí dych to vyšiel z teba?

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

⁵Duchovia mŕtvych sa svíjajú bolesťou pod vodami aj ich spoluobyvatelia.

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

⁶Priepasť šeola je nahá pred ním, a nieto prikrytia abaddonu.

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

⁷Rozťahuje sever nad prázdnom; zavesil zem na ničom.

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

⁸Zaväzuje vody do svojich oblakov, a neroztrhne sa oblak pod nimi.

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

⁹Drží ukrytú tvár svojho trónu; rozťahuje nad ním svoj oblak;

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

¹⁰ustanovil medze na povrchu vody do kruhu až potiaľ, kde končí svetlo so tmou.

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

¹¹Stĺpy nebies sa trasú a trnú od jeho žehrania.

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

¹²Svojou silou búri more a svojím umom drtí Rahaba.

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

¹³Od jeho ducha nebesia báj; jeho ruka prebodne dlhého hada.

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?

¹⁴Hľa, to sú výbežky jeho ciest. A jaký je to ešte len šepot toho, čo sme počuli o ňom! A hromu jeho hrdinskej sily kto porozumie?!
