| 1 | Ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Ιωβ λέγει | Job. Jb.26.1-4 | But Job answered and said, |
| 2 | Τίνι πρόσκεισαι ἢ τίνι μέλλεις βοηθεῖν; πότερον οὐχ ᾧ πολλὴ ἰσχὺς καὶ ᾧ βραχίων κραταιός ἐστιν; | To whom do you attach yourself, or whom are you going to assist? is it not he that [has] much strength, and [he] who has a strong arm? | |
| 3 | τίνι συμβεβούλευσαι; οὐχ ᾧ πᾶσα σοφία; ἢ τίνι ἐπακολουθήσεις; οὐχ ᾧ μεγίστη δύναμις; | To whom have you given counsel? is it not to him who has all wisdom? whom will you follow? is it not one who has the greatest power? | |
| 4 | τίνι ἀνήγγειλας ῥήματα; πνοὴ δὲ τίνος ἐστὶν ἡ ἐξελθοῦσα ἐκ σοῦ; | To whom have you uttered words? and whose breath is it that has come forth from you? | |
| 5 | μὴ γίγαντες μαιωθήσονται ὑποκάτωθεν ὕδατος καὶ τῶν γειτόνων αὐτοῦ; | [Bildad] Jb.26.5-14 | Shall giants be born from under the water and the inhabitants thereof? |
| 6 | γυμνὸς ὁ ᾅδης ἐπώπιον αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν περιβόλαιον τῇ ἀπωλείᾳ. | Hell is naked before him, and destruction has no covering. | |
| 7 | ἐκτείνων βορέαν ἐπ' οὐδέν, κρεμάζων γῆν ἐπὶ οὐδενός· | He stretches out the north wind upon nothing, and he upon nothing hangs the earth; | |
| 8 | δεσμεύων ὕδωρ ἐν νεφέλαις αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἐρράγη νέφος ὑποκάτω αὐτοῦ· | binding water in his clouds, and the cloud is not rent under it. | |
| 9 | ὁ κρατῶν πρόσωπον θρόνου, ἐκπετάζων ἐπ' αὐτὸν νέφος αὐτοῦ. | He keeps back the face of his throne, stretching out his cloud upon it. | |
| 10 | πρόσταγμα ἐγύρωσεν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον ὕδατος μέχρι συντελείας φωτὸς μετὰ σκότους. | He has encompassed the face of the water by an appointed ordinance, until the end of light and darkness. | |
| 11 | στῦλοι οὐρανοῦ ἐπετάσθησαν καὶ ἐξέστησαν ἀπὸ τῆς ἐπιτιμήσεως αὐτοῦ. | The pillars of heaven are prostrate and astonished at his rebuke. | |
| 12 | ἰσχύι κατέπαυσεν τὴν θάλασσαν, ἐπιστήμῃ δὲ ἔτρωσε τὸ κῆτος· | He has calmed the sea with [his] might, and by [his] wisdom the whale has been overthrown. | |
| 13 | κλεῖθρα δὲ οὐρανοῦ δεδοίκασιν αὐτόν, προστάγματι δὲ ἐθανάτωσεν δράκοντα ἀποστάτην. | And the barriers of heaven fear him, and by a command he has slain the apostate dragon. | |
| 14 | ἰδοὺ ταῦτα μέρη ὁδοῦ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπὶ ἰκμάδα λόγου ἀκουσόμεθα ἐν αὐτῷ· σθένος δὲ βροντῆς αὐτοῦ τίς οἶδεν ὁπότε ποιήσει; | Behold, these are parts of his way; and we will listen to him at the least intimation of his word: but the strength of his thunder who knows, when he shall employ [it]? | |
