1και ταυτηϲ εταραχθη η καρδια μου και απερρυη εκ του τοπου αυτηϲ 2ακουε ακοην οργη θυμου κυ και μελετη εκ ϲτοματοϲ αυτου εξελευϲεται 3ϋποκατω παντοϲ του ουνου αρχη αυτου και το φωϲ αυτου επι πτερυγων τηϲ γηϲ 4οπιϲω αυτου βοηϲεται φωνη βροντηϲει εν φωνη ϋβρεωϲ αυτου και ουκ ανταλλαξη αυτουϲ οτι ακουϲη φωνηϲ αυτου 5βροντηϲει ο ιϲχυροϲ αυτου εν φωνη θαυμαϲια εποιηϲεν γαρ μεγαλα · α ουκ ηδειμεν 6 7εν χειρι παντοϲ ανου καταϲφραγιζει ϊνα γνω παϲ ανοϲ την εαυτου αϲθενια 8ειϲηλθεν δε θηρια υπο ϲκεπην ηϲυχαϲαν δε επι κοιτηϲ
1At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of his place. 2Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound that goeth out of his mouth. 3He directeth it under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto the ends of the earth. 4After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of his excellency; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard. 5God thundereth marvellously with his voice; great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend. 6For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength. 7He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work. 8Then the beasts go into dens, and remain in their places.
9εκ ταμιων επερχονται ο δυναι απο δε ακρωτηριων ψυχοϲ 10και απο πνοηϲ ιϲχυρου δωϲει παγοϲ οικιαζει δε το ϋδωρ ωϲ εαν βουληται 11και εκλεκτον καταπλαϲϲει νεφελη διαϲκορπιει νεφοϲ φωϲ αυτου 12και αυτοϲ κυκλωματα διαϲτρεφει εθετο βουλαθ ειϲ · εργα αυτων παντα οϲα εαν εντειληται αυτοιϲ · ταυτα ϲυντετακται παρ αυτου επι τηϲ γηϲ 13εαν τε ειϲ παιδιαν . εαν τε ειϲ την γην αυτου εαν ειϲ ελεοϲ ευρηϲει αυτον 14ενωτιζου ταυτα ϊωβ ϲτηθι · νουθετου δυναμιν κυ 15οιδαμεν οτι ο θϲ εθετο εργα αυτου φωϲ ποιηϲαϲ εκ ϲκοτουϲ 16επιϲταται δε διαθεϲιν νεφων εξαιϲια δε πτωματα πονηρων
9Out of the south cometh the whirlwind: and cold out of the north. 10By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened. 11Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud: he scattereth his bright cloud: 12And it is turned round about by his counsels: that they may do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the face of the world in the earth. 13He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy. 14Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God. 15Dost thou know when God disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine? 16Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge?
17ϲου δε η ϲτολη θερμη ηϲυχαζεται δε επι τηϲ γηϲ 18ϲτερεωϲιϲ μετ αυτου ειϲ παλαιωματα ϊϲχυραι ωϲ οραϲιϲ επιχυϲεωϲ 19δια τι · διδαξον με · τι ερουμεν αυτω και παυϲομεθα πολλα λεγοντεϲ 20μη βιβλοϲ η γραμματευϲ μοι παρεϲτηκε ϊνα ανον εϲτηκωϲ καταϲιωπηϲω · 21παϲιν δʼ ουχ ορατον το φωϲ τηλαυγεϲ εϲτιν εν τοιϲ παλαιωμαϲι ωϲπερ το παρ αυτου επι νεφων 22απο βορρα νεφη χρυϲαυγουντα επι τουτοιϲ μεγαλη η δοξα και τιμη παντοκρατοροϲ 23και ουκ ευριϲκομεν αλλον ομοιον τη ϊϲχυϊ αυτου ο τα δικαια κρινων . ουκ οιει επακουϲειν αυτον 24διο φοβηθηϲονται αυτον οι ανοι φοβηθηϲονται δε αυτον · και οι ϲοφοι καρδια
17How thy garments are warm, when he quieteth the earth by the south wind? 18Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass? 19Teach us what we shall say unto him; for we cannot order our speech by reason of darkness. 20Shall it be told him that I speak? if a man speak, surely he shall be swallowed up. 21And now men see not the bright light which is in the clouds: but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them. 22Fair weather cometh out of the north: with God is terrible majesty. 23Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out: he is excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice: he will not afflict. 24Men do therefore fear him: he respecteth not any that are wise of heart.
