Biblia
- 1
- And Jehovah answereth Job out of the whirlwind, and saith: --
- 2
- Who `is' this -- darkening counsel, By words without knowledge?
- 3
- Gird, I pray thee, as a man, thy loins, And I ask thee, and cause thou Me to know.
- 4
- Where wast thou when I founded earth? Declare, if thou hast known understanding.
- 5
- Who placed its measures -- if thou knowest? Or who hath stretched out upon it a line?
- 6
- On what have its sockets been sunk? Or who hath cast its corner-stone?
- 7
- In the singing together of stars of morning, And all sons of God shout for joy,
- 8
- And He shutteth up with doors the sea, In its coming forth, from the womb it goeth out.
- 9
- In My making a cloud its clothing, And thick darkness its swaddling band,
- 10
- And I measure over it My statute, And place bar and doors,
- 11
- And say, `Hitherto come thou, and add not, And a command is placed On the pride of thy billows.'
- 12
- Hast thou commanded morning since thy days? Causest thou the dawn to know its place?
- 13
- To take hold on the skirts of the earth, And the wicked are shaken out of it,
- 14
- It turneth itself as clay of a seal And they station themselves as clothed.
- 15
- And withheld from the wicked is their light, And the arm lifted up is broken.
- 16
- Hast thou come in to springs of the sea? And in searching the deep Hast thou walked up and down?
- 17
- Revealed to thee were the gates of death? And the gates of death-shade dost thou see?
- 18
- Thou hast understanding, Even unto the broad places of earth! Declare -- if thou hast known it all.
- 19
- Where `is' this -- the way light dwelleth? And darkness, where `is' this -- its place?
- 20
- That thou dost take it unto its boundary, And that thou dost understand The paths of its house.
- 21
- Thou hast known -- for then thou art born And the number of thy days `are' many!
- 22
- Hast thou come in unto the treasure of snow? Yea, the treasures of hail dost thou see?
- 23
- That I have kept back for a time of distress, For a day of conflict and battle.
- 24
- Where `is' this, the way light is apportioned? It scattereth an east wind over the earth.
- 25
- Who hath divided for the flood a conduit? And a way for the lightning of the voices?
- 26
- To cause `it' to rain on a land -- no man, A wilderness -- no man in it.
- 27
- To satisfy a desolate and waste place, And to cause to shoot up The produce of the tender grass?
- 28
- Hath the rain a father? Or who hath begotten the drops of dew?
- 29
- From whose belly came forth the ice? And the hoar-frost of the heavens, Who hath begotten it?
- 30
- As a stone waters are hidden, And the face of the deep is captured.
- 31
- Dost thou bind sweet influences of Kimah? Or the attractions of Kesil dost thou open?
- 32
- Dost thou bring out Mazzaroth in its season? And Aysh for her sons dost thou comfort?
- 33
- Hast thou known the statutes of heaven? Or dost thou appoint Its dominion in the earth?
- 34
- Dost thou lift up to the cloud thy voice, And abundance of water doth cover thee?
- 35
- Dost thou send out lightnings, and they go And say unto thee, `Behold us?'
- 36
- Who hath put in the inward parts wisdom? Or who hath given To the covered part understanding?
- 37
- Who doth number the clouds by wisdom? And the bottles of the heavens, Who doth cause to lie down,
- 38
- In the hardening of dust into hardness, And clods cleave together?
- 39
- Dost thou hunt for a lion prey? And the desire of young lions fulfil?
- 40
- When they bow down in dens -- Abide in a thicket for a covert?
- 41
- Who doth prepare for a raven his provision, When his young ones cry unto God? They wander without food.
