 Old Testament in Greek (Septuagint) : The Septuagint in English (Brenton)

μὴ γίγαντες μαιωθήσονται ὑποκάτωθεν ὕδατος καὶ τῶν γειτόνων αὐτοῦ;
[Bildad] Jb.26.5-14[Bildad] Jb.26.5-14Shall giants be born from under the water and the inhabitants thereof?
γυμνὸς ὁ ᾅδης ἐπώπιον αὐτοῦ,
καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν περιβόλαιον τῇ ἀπωλείᾳ.
  Hell is naked before him,
and destruction has no covering.
ἐκτείνων βορέαν ἐπ' οὐδέν,
κρεμάζων γῆν ἐπὶ οὐδενός·
  He stretches out the north wind upon nothing,
and he upon nothing hangs the earth;
δεσμεύων ὕδωρ ἐν νεφέλαις αὐτοῦ,
καὶ οὐκ ἐρράγη νέφος ὑποκάτω αὐτοῦ·
  binding water in his clouds,
and the cloud is not rent under it.
ὁ κρατῶν πρόσωπον θρόνου,
ἐκπετάζων ἐπ' αὐτὸν νέφος αὐτοῦ.
  He keeps back the face of his throne,
stretching out his cloud upon it.
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.
στῦλοι οὐρανοῦ ἐπετάσθησαν καὶ ἐξέστησαν ἀπὸ τῆς ἐπιτιμήσεως αὐτοῦ.
  The pillars of heaven are prostrate and astonished at his rebuke.
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.
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.
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]?
