1 Ѿвѣща́въ же і҆́ѡвъ, речѐ:
1 Then Job answered,
2 комꙋ̀ прилѣжи́ши, и҆лѝ комꙋ̀ хо́щеши помога́ти; не семꙋ́ ли, є҆мꙋ́же мно́га крѣ́пость и҆ є҆мꙋ́же мы́шца крѣпка̀ є҆́сть;
2 “How have you helped him who is without power! How have you saved the arm that has no strength!
3 Комꙋ̀ совѣ́тъ да́лъ є҆сѝ; не є҆мꙋ́же ли всѧ̀ премꙋ́дрость; Кого̀ пожене́ши; не є҆мꙋ́же ли преве́лїѧ си́ла;
3 How have you counseled him who has no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge!
4 Комꙋ̀ возвѣсти́лъ є҆сѝ глаго́лы; дыха́нїе же чїе́ є҆сть и҆сходѧ́щее и҆з̾ тебє̀;
4 To whom have you uttered words? Whose spirit came out of you?
5 Є҆да̀ и҆споли́ни родѧ́тсѧ под̾ водо́ю и҆ сосѣ́дми є҆ѧ̀;
5 “The departed spirits tremble, those beneath the waters and all that live in them.
6 На́гъ а҆́дъ пред̾ ни́мъ, и҆ нѣ́сть покрыва́ла па́гꙋбѣ.
6 Sheol is naked before God, and Abaddon has no covering.
7 Простира́ѧй сѣ́веръ ни на че́мже, повѣ́шаѧй зе́млю ни на че́мже,
7 He stretches out the north over empty space, and hangs the earth on nothing.
8 свѧзꙋ́ѧй во́дꙋ на ѡ҆́блацѣхъ свои́хъ, и҆ не расто́ржесѧ ѡ҆́блакъ под̾ не́ю:
8 He binds up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not burst under them.
9 держа́й лицѐ престо́ла, простира́ѧ над̾ ни́мъ ѡ҆́блакъ сво́й:
9 He encloses the face of his throne, and spreads his cloud on it.
10 повелѣ́нїе ѡ҆крꙋжѝ на лицѐ воды̀ да́же до сконча́нїѧ свѣ́та со тьмо́ю.
10 He has described a boundary on the surface of the waters, and to the confines of light and darkness.
11 Столпѝ небе́снїи простро́шасѧ и҆ ᲂу҆жасо́шасѧ ѿ запреще́нїѧ є҆гѡ̀.
11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his rebuke.
12 Крѣ́постїю ᲂу҆кротѝ мо́ре, и҆ хи́тростїю є҆гѡ̀ низложе́нъ бы́сть ки́тъ:
12 He stirs up the sea with his power, and by his understanding he strikes through Rahab.
13 верєи́ же небє́сныѧ ᲂу҆боѧ́шасѧ є҆гѡ̀: повелѣ́нїемъ же ᲂу҆мертвѝ ѕмі́а ѿстꙋ́пника.
13 By his Spirit the heavens are garnished. His hand has pierced the swift serpent.
14 Сѐ, сїѧ̑ ча̑сти пꙋтѝ є҆гѡ̀: и҆ ѡ҆ ка́пли сло́ва ᲂу҆слы́шимъ въ не́мъ: си́лꙋ же гро́ма є҆гѡ̀ кто̀ ᲂу҆вѣ́да, когда̀ сотвори́тъ;
14 Behold, 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?”

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

    Whereof in Job it saith, And He knoweth the separations of the clouds, and hath bent down the heaven to the earth: and, He who numbereth the clouds in wisdom: and, the cloud is not rent under Him.
