Notes on this text (3)
- Church Slavonic in its traditional (Synodal) spelling, with accents, breathings and titlo abbreviations, shown in the Ponomar font (SIL Open Font License).
- Exodus 36–39 follow the Septuagint's order; the digital source has no verse divisions there, so Exodus 36:8–end and chapters 37, 38 and 39 each appear as one block.
- Not shown: the lectionary pericope numbers (зача́ло) and the marginal glosses of the digital source. The Prayer of Manasseh stands at the end of 2 Chronicles (36:24), as in the Slavonic Bible; the prologue of Sirach and the opening verse of Lamentations are joined to verse 1.

1 Па́ки же ѿвѣща́въ гдⷭ҇ь, речѐ ко і҆́ѡвꙋ и҆з̾ ѡ҆́блака:
1 Moreover Yahweh answered Job,
2 нѝ, но препоѧ́ши ꙗ҆́кѡ мꙋ́жъ чрє́сла твоѧ̑: вопрошꙋ́ же тѧ̀, ты́ же мѝ ѿвѣща́й.
2 “Shall he who argues contend with the Almighty? He who argues with God, let him answer it.”
3 Не ѿверга́й сꙋда̀ моегѡ̀: мни́ши ли мѧ̀ и҆на́кѡ тебѣ̀ сотво́рша, ра́звѣ да ꙗ҆ви́шисѧ правди́въ;
3 Then Job answered Yahweh,
4 Є҆да̀ мы́шца тѝ є҆́сть на гдⷭ҇а, и҆лѝ гла́сомъ на него̀ греми́ши;
4 “Behold, I am of small account. What will I answer you? I lay my hand on my mouth.
5 Прїими́ же высотꙋ̀ и҆ си́лꙋ, въ сла́вꙋ же и҆ въ че́сть ѡ҆блецы́сѧ:
5 I have spoken once, and I will not answer; Yes, twice, but I will proceed no further.”
6 пꙋсти́ же а҆́гг҃лы гнѣ́вомъ и҆ всѧ́каго ᲂу҆кори́телѧ смирѝ,
6 Then Yahweh answered Job out of the whirlwind:
7 велича́ва же ᲂу҆гасѝ и҆ согно́й нечєсти́выѧ а҆́бїе:
7 “Now brace yourself like a man. I will question you, and you will answer me.
8 скры́й же въ зе́млю внѣ̀ вкꙋ́пѣ и҆ ли́ца и҆́хъ безче́стїѧ и҆спо́лни.
8 Will you even annul my judgment? Will you condemn me, that you may be justified?
9 И҆сповѣ́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ мо́жетъ десни́ца твоѧ̀ спастѝ.
9 Or do you have an arm like God? Can you thunder with a voice like him?
10 Но ᲂу҆́бѡ сѐ, ѕвѣ́рїе ᲂу҆ тебє̀, травꙋ̀ а҆́ки воло́ве ꙗ҆дѧ́тъ:
10 “Now deck yourself with excellency and dignity. Array yourself with honor and majesty.
11 сѐ ᲂу҆́бѡ, крѣ́пость є҆гѡ̀ на чре́слѣхъ, си́ла же є҆гѡ̀ на пꙋ́пѣ чре́ва:
11 Pour out the fury of your anger. Look at everyone who is proud, and bring him low.
12 поста́ви ѡ҆́шибъ ꙗ҆́кѡ кѷпарі́съ, жи̑лы же є҆гѡ̀ (꙳ꙗ҆́кѡ ᲂу҆́же) сплетє́ны сꙋ́ть,
12 Look at everyone who is proud, and humble him. Crush the wicked in their place.
13 ре́бра є҆гѡ̀ ре́бра мѣ̑дѧна, хребе́тъ же є҆гѡ̀ желѣ́зо слїѧ́но.
13 Hide them in the dust together. Bind their faces in the hidden place.
14 Сі́есть нача́ло созда́нїѧ гдⷭ҇нѧ: сотворе́нъ порꙋ́ганъ бы́ти а҆́гг҃лы є҆гѡ̀:
14 Then I will also admit to you that your own right hand can save you.
15 возше́дъ же на го́рꙋ стреми́ннꙋю, сотворѝ ра́дость четверонѡ́гимъ въ та́ртарѣ:
15 “See now behemoth, which I made as well as you. He eats grass as an ox.
16 под̾ всѧ́кимъ дре́вомъ спи́тъ, при ро́гозѣ и҆ тро́стїи и҆ сїто́вїи:
16 Look now, his strength is in his thighs. His force is in the muscles of his belly.
17 ѡ҆сѣнѧ́ютъ же над̾ ни́мъ древеса̀ вели̑ка съ лѣ́торасльми и҆ вѣ̑тви напѡ́льныѧ:
17 He moves his tail like a cedar. The sinews of his thighs are knit together.
18 а҆́ще бꙋ́детъ наводне́нїе, не ѡ҆щꙋти́тъ: ᲂу҆пова́етъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ вни́детъ і҆ѻрда́нъ во ᲂу҆ста̀ є҆гѡ̀:
18 His bones are like tubes of bronze. His limbs are like bars of iron.
19 во ѻ҆́ко своѐ во́зметъ є҆го̀, ѡ҆жесточи́всѧ продира́витъ нѡ́здри.
19 He is the chief of the ways of God. He who made him gives him his sword.
20 И҆звлече́ши ли ѕмі́а ᲂу҆́дицею, и҆лѝ ѡ҆бложи́ши ᲂу҆здꙋ̀ ѡ҆ ноздре́хъ є҆гѡ̀;
20 Surely the mountains produce food for him, where all the animals of the field play.
21 и҆лѝ вдѣ́жеши кольцѐ въ нѡ́здри є҆гѡ̀; ши́ломъ же проверти́ши ли ᲂу҆стнѣ̀ є҆гѡ̀;
21 He lies under the lotus trees, in the covert of the reed, and the marsh.
22 возглаго́летъ же ли тѝ съ моле́нїемъ, (и҆лѝ) съ проше́нїемъ кро́ткѡ;
22 The lotuses cover him with their shade. The willows of the brook surround him.
23 сотвори́тъ же ли завѣ́тъ съ тобо́ю; по́ймеши же ли є҆го̀ раба̀ вѣ́чна;
23 Behold, if a river overflows, he doesn’t tremble. He is confident, though the Jordan swells even to his mouth.
24 поигра́еши же ли съ ни́мъ, ꙗ҆́коже со пти́цею, и҆лѝ свѧ́жеши є҆го̀ ꙗ҆́кѡ вра́бїѧ дѣ́тищꙋ;
24 Shall any take him when he is on the watch, or pierce through his nose with a snare?
25 пита́ютсѧ ли же и҆́мъ ꙗ҆зы́цы, и҆ раздѣлѧ́ютъ ли є҆го̀ фїнїкі́йстїи наро́ди;

26 всѧ̑ же пла̑вающаѧ собра́вшесѧ не под̾и́мꙋтъ ко́жи є҆ди́ныѧ ѡ҆́шиба є҆гѡ̀, и҆ корабли̑ ры́барей главы̀ є҆гѡ̀.

27 Возложи́ши же ли на́нь рꙋ́кꙋ, воспомѧнꙋ́въ бра́нь быва́ющꙋю на тѣ́лѣ є҆гѡ̀; и҆ ктомꙋ̀ да не бꙋ́детъ.

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).
According to Job, there was in the waters the dragon that draweth up Jordan into his mouth.
