Job, 41
1. I will not stir him up, like one that is cruel : for who can resist my countenance?
1. οὐχ ἑόρακας αὐτὸν οὐδὲ ἐπὶ τοῖς λεγομένοις τεθαύμακας
2. Who hath given me before that I should repay him? All things that are under heaven are mine.
2. οὐ δέδοικας ὅτι ἡτοίμασταί μοι τίς γάρ ἐστιν ὁ ἐμοὶ ἀντιστάς
3. I will not spare him, nor his mighty words, and framed to make supplication.
3. ἢ τίς ἀντιστήσεταί μοι καὶ ὑπομενεῖ εἰ πᾶσα ἡ ὑπ’ οὐρανὸν ἐμή ἐστιν
4. Who can discover the face of his garment? or who can go into the midst of his mouth?
4. οὐ σιωπήσομαι δι’ αὐτόν καὶ λόγον δυνάμεως ἐλεήσει τὸν ἴσον αὐτοῦ
5. Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth are terrible round about.
5. τίς ἀποκαλύψει πρόσωπον ἐνδύσεως αὐτοῦ εἰς δὲ πτύξιν θώρακος αὐτοῦ τίς ἂν εἰσέλθοι
6. His body is like molten shields, shut close up with scales pressing upon one another.
6. πύλας προσώπου αὐτοῦ τίς ἀνοίξει κύκλῳ ὀδόντων αὐτοῦ φόβος
7. One is joined to another, and not so much as any air can come between them :
7. τὰ ἔγκατα αὐτοῦ ἀσπίδες χάλκειαι σύνδεσμος δὲ αὐτοῦ ὥσπερ σμιρίτης λίθος
8. They stick one to another and they hold one another fast, and shall not be separated.
8. εἷς τοῦ ἑνὸς κολλῶνται πνεῦμα δὲ οὐ μὴ διέλθῃ αὐτόν
9. His sneezing is like the shining of fire, and his eyes like the eyelids of the morning.
9. ἀνὴρ τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ προσκολληθήσεται συνέχονται καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀποσπασθῶσιν
10. Out of his mouth go forth lamps, like torches of lighted fire.
10. ἐν πταρμῷ αὐτοῦ ἐπιφαύσκεται φέγγος οἱ δὲ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ εἶδος ἑωσφόρου
11. Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, like that of a pot heated and boiling.
11. ἐκ στόματος αὐτοῦ ἐκπορεύονται λαμπάδες καιόμεναι καὶ διαρριπτοῦνται ἐσχάραι πυρός
12. His breath kindleth coals, and a flame cometh forth out of his mouth.
12. ἐκ μυκτήρων αὐτοῦ ἐκπορεύεται καπνὸς καμίνου καιομένης πυρὶ ἀνθράκων
13. In his neck strength shall dwell, and want goeth before his face.
13. ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ ἄνθρακες φλὸξ δὲ ἐκ στόματος αὐτοῦ ἐκπορεύεται
14. The members of his flesh cleave one to another : he shall send lightnings against him, and they shall not be carried to another place.
14. ἐν δὲ τραχήλῳ αὐτοῦ αὐλίζεται δύναμις ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ τρέχει ἀπώλεια
15. His heart shall be as hard as a stone, and as firm as a smith's anvil.
15. σάρκες δὲ σώματος αὐτοῦ κεκόλληνται καταχέει ἐπ’ αὐτόν οὐ σαλευθήσεται
16. When he shall raise him up, the angels shall fear, and being affrighted shall purify themselves.
16. ἡ καρδία αὐτοῦ πέπηγεν ὡς λίθος ἕστηκεν δὲ ὥσπερ ἄκμων ἀνήλατος
17. When a sword shall lay at him, it shall not be able to hold, nor a spear, nor a breastplate.
17. στραφέντος δὲ αὐτοῦ φόβος θηρίοις τετράποσιν ἐπὶ γῆς ἁλλομένοις
18. For he shall esteem iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood.
18. ἐὰν συναντήσωσιν αὐτῷ λόγχαι οὐδὲν μὴ ποιήσωσιν δόρυ ἐπηρμένον καὶ θώρακα
19. The archer shall not put him to flight, the stones of the sling are to him like stubble.
19. ἥγηται μὲν γὰρ σίδηρον ἄχυρα χαλκὸν δὲ ὥσπερ ξύλον σαθρόν
20. As stubble will he esteem the hammer, and he will laugh him to scorn who shaketh the spear.
20. οὐ μὴ τρώσῃ αὐτὸν τόξον χάλκειον ἥγηται μὲν πετροβόλον χόρτον
21. The beams of the sun shall be under him, and he shall strew gold under him like mire.
21. ὡς καλάμη ἐλογίσθησαν σφῦραι καταγελᾷ δὲ σεισμοῦ πυρφόρου
22. He shall make the deep sea to boil like a pot, and shall make it as when ointments boil.
22. ἡ στρωμνὴ αὐτοῦ ὀβελίσκοι ὀξεῖς πᾶς δὲ χρυσὸς θαλάσσης ὑπ’ αὐτὸν ὥσπερ πηλὸς ἀμύθητος
23. A path shall shine after him, he shall esteem the deep as growing old.
23. ἀναζεῖ τὴν ἄβυσσον ὥσπερ χαλκεῖον ἥγηται δὲ τὴν θάλασσαν ὥσπερ ἐξάλειπτρον
24. There is no power upon earth that can be compared with him who was made to fear no one.
24. τὸν δὲ τάρταρον τῆς ἀβύσσου ὥσπερ αἰχμάλωτον ἐλογίσατο ἄβυσσον εἰς περίπατον
25. He beholdeth every high thing, he is king over all the children of pride.
25. οὐκ ἔστιν οὐδὲν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ὅμοιον αὐτῷ πεποιημένον ἐγκαταπαίζεσθαι ὑπὸ τῶν ἀγγέλων μου
26.
26. πᾶν ὑψηλὸν ὁρᾷ αὐτὸς δὲ βασιλεὺς πάντων τῶν ἐν τοῖς ὕδασιν
