1 But Job answered: 2 Bravely spoken, for a cause that so much needed it! That arm of thine ever upheld the weak. 3 Brave advice offered in that great discernment of thine, to one who so lacks wisdom! 4 A fine lesson thou hast read him, the God who gave thee breath!

1 Respondens autem Job dixit: 2

Cujus adjutor es? numquid imbecillis?
et sustentas brachium ejus qui non est fortis? 3
Cui dedisti consilium?
forsitan illi qui non habet sapientiam:
et prudentiam tuam ostendisti plurimam. 4
Quem docere voluisti?
nonne eum qui fecit spiramentum?

5 Sure enough, there is none but trembles before him; even the old heroes, and those who share their dwelling-place under the lower depths; 6 bare to his eyes is the place of shadows, oblivion lies revealed. 7 He it was spread out the northern skies over emptiness, poised earth on nothing; 8 cloud-bound he holds the rain, that else would spill on earth all at once, 9 veiled and shut in with cloud his unseen throne. 10 While day and night last, the waters keep the bounds he has decreed for them; 11 the very pillars of heaven tremble awe-struck at his will. 12 His the power, his the wisdom, that drew the seas together all in a moment, and the rebellious dragon struck down; 13 his the spirit that clothed the heavens, his the hand that drew yonder writhing serpent from the womb.[1] 14 Here is but a small part of his doings, here is but the whisper of his voice; who dares to contemplate the thunder of his full magnificence?

5
Ecce gigantes gemunt sub aquis,
et qui habitant cum eis. 6
Nudus est infernus coram illo,
et nullum est operimentum perditioni. 7
Qui extendit aquilonem super vacuum,
et appendit terram super nihilum. 8
Qui ligat aquas in nubibus suis,
ut non erumpant pariter deorsum. 9
Qui tenet vultum solii sui,
et expandit super illud nebulam suam. 10
Terminum circumdedit aquis,
usque dum finiantur lux et tenebræ. 11
Columnæ cæli contremiscunt,
et pavent ad nutum ejus. 12
In fortitudine illius repente maria congregata sunt,
et prudentia ejus percussit superbum. 13
Spiritus ejus ornavit cælos,
et obstetricante manu ejus, eductus est coluber tortuosus. 14
Ecce hæc ex parte dicta sunt viarum ejus:
et cum vix parvam stillam sermonis ejus audierimus,
quis poterit tonitruum magnitudinis illius intueri?

[1] ‘Drew … from the womb’; in the present Hebrew text, ‘pierced through’; see Is. 51.9, where the same verb is used. Here, as in that passage, the power of the sea is allegorically described as a proud monster, the darkness of night (perhaps) as a writhing serpent.
