1 욥이 대답하여 가로되

2 네가 힘 없는 자를 참 잘 도왔구나 기력 없는 팔을 참 잘 구원하였구나

3 지혜 없는 자를 참 잘 가르쳤구나 큰 지식을 참 잘 나타내었구나

4 네가 누구를 향하여 말을 내었느냐 ? 뉘 신이 네게서 나왔느냐 ?

5 음령들이 큰 물과 수족 밑에서 떠나니

6 하나님 앞에는 음부도 드러나며 멸망의 웅덩이도 가리움이 없음이니라

7 그는 북편 하늘을 허공에 펴시며 땅을 공간에 다시며

8 물을 빽빽한 구름에 싸시나 그 밑의 구름이 찢어지지 아니하느니라

9 그는 자기의 보좌 앞을 가리우시고 자기 구름으로 그 위에 펴시며

10 수면에 경계를 그으셨으되 빛과 어두움의 지경까지 한정을 세우셨느니라

11 그가 꾸짖으신즉 하늘 기둥이 떨며 놀라느니라

12 그는 권능으로 바다를 흉용케 하시며 지혜로 라합을 쳐서 파하시며

13 그 신으로 하늘을 단장하시고 손으로 날랜 뱀을 찌르시나니

14 이런 것은 그 행사의 시작점이요 우리가 그에게 대하여 들은 것도 심히 세미한 소리뿐이니라 그 큰 능력의 우뢰야 누가 능히 측량하랴

1 Then Job made answer and said,

2 How have you given help to him who has no power! how have you been the salvation of the arm which has no strength!

3 How have you given teaching to him who has no wisdom, and fully made clear true knowledge!

4 To whom have your words been said? and whose spirit came out from you?

5 The shades in the underworld are shaking; the waters and those living in them.

6 The underworld is uncovered before him, and Destruction has no veil.

7 By his hand the north is stretched out in space, and the earth is hanging on nothing.

8 By him the waters are shut up in his thick clouds, and the cloud does not give way under them.

9 By him the face of his high seat is veiled, and his cloud stretched out over it.

10 By him a circle is marked out on the face of the waters, to the limits of the light and the dark.

11 The pillars of heaven are shaking, and are overcome by his sharp words.

12 By his power the sea was made quiet; and by his wisdom Rahab was wounded.

13 By his wind the heavens become bright: by his hand the quickly moving snake was cut through.

14 See, these are only the outskirts of his ways; and how small is that which comes to our ears about him! But the thunder of his acts of power is outside all knowledge.
