¹Siis rääkis Iiob ja ütles:

¹Then Job answered,

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

²“How have you helped him who is without power! How have you saved the arm that has no strength!

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

³How have you counseled him who has no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge!

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

⁴To whom have you uttered words? Whose spirit came forth from you?

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

⁵“Those who are deceased tremble, those beneath the waters and all that live in them.

⁶Paljas on surmavald Jumala ees ja kadupaigal pole katet.

⁶ Sheol Sheol is the lower world or the grave. is naked before God, and Abaddon Abaddon means Destroyer. has no covering.

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

⁷He stretches out the north over empty space, and hangs the earth on nothing.

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

⁸He binds up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not burst under them.

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

⁹He encloses the face of his throne, and spreads his cloud on it.

¹⁰Ta joonistab vetepinnale sõõri kuni valguse ja pimeduse piirini.

¹⁰He has described a boundary on the surface of the waters, and to the confines of light and darkness.

¹¹Taeva sambad kõiguvad ja kohkuvad tema sõitlusest.

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

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

¹²He stirs up the sea with his power, and by his understanding he strikes through Rahab.

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

¹³By his Spirit the heavens are garnished. His hand has pierced the swift serpent.

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?'

¹⁴Behold, these are but the outskirts of his ways. How small a whisper do we hear of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand?”
