¹But Job answered and said,

¹Job pa odgovori in reče:

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

²Kako lepo si podprl šibkega, kako si pomagal rami slabotnega,

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

³kako si izvrstno svetoval njemu, ki nima modrosti, in temeljitega znanja obilo pokazal!

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

⁴Komu si govoril besede, in čigav duh je šel iz tebe?

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

⁵Mrtvi strepetavajo pred Bogom globoko pod vodami in njih prebivalci.

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

⁶Smrtna država je odkrita pred Njim in peklenska globočina nima pokrova.

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

⁷On razteza severno nebo čez praznino in zemljo obeša na ničemer.

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

⁸Vkup veže vode v oblakih svojih, in oblačje se pod njimi ne razdere.

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

⁹Zastira lice prestola svojega, ko ob njem razgrinja oblake svoje.

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

¹⁰Zakrožil je mejo na površju vodá do zadnjega kraja, kjer mejita svetloba in tema.

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

¹¹Stebrovi neba se stresajo in se groze od njegovega karanja.

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

¹²Po svoji moči razburja morje in po svoji previdnosti razbija morsko pošast.

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

¹³Duh njegov razvedruje nebo, roka njegova je prebodla bežečega zmaja.Glej, to je majhen obris dejanja Njegovega; in kako rahlo šepetanje, ki ga slišimo o Njem! A grmenje Njegove vsemogočnosti kdo more razumeti?

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?

¹⁴Glej, to je majhen obris dejanja Njegovega; in kako rahlo šepetanje, ki ga slišimo o Njem! A grmenje Njegove vsemogočnosti kdo more razumeti?
