约伯回答说，
Then Job answered and said,

无能的人，蒙你何等的帮助！膀臂无力的人，蒙你何等的拯救！
How you have helped him who is without power! / How you have saved the arm of him who is without strength!

无智慧的人，蒙你何等的指教；你向他指示的智谋何其多！
How you have counseled him who is without wisdom / And have plentifully declared sound knowledge!

你向谁发出言语？谁的灵从你而出？
To whom have you uttered words? / And whose spirit has come forth from you?

阴魂在诸水以下战兢，住在水中的也是如此。
The deceased are made to tremble / Beneath the waters, and those who inhabit them.

在神面前阴间赤露敞开，灭亡之地也无所遮掩。
Sheol is naked before Him, / And Abaddon has no covering.

神将北极铺在空中，将大地悬于虚无之上；
He stretches out the north over the void; / He hangs the earth upon nothing.

祂将水包在密云中，水下的云却不破裂。
He binds up the waters in His thick clouds, / And the cloud is not rent under them.

祂遮蔽自己的宝座，将云铺在其上；
He covers the face of His throne; / He spreads His cloud over it.

在水面划出圆圈为界，作为光暗的交界。
He drew a circle on the surface of the waters / As a boundary of the light and the darkness.

天的柱子因祂的斥责震动惊奇。
The pillars of heaven shook / And were astounded at His rebuke.

祂以能力平静大海，祂借聪明打伤拉哈伯；
By His power He stilled the sea, / And by His understanding He struck down Rahab.

借祂的气使天晴朗；祂的手刺透快逃的蛇。
By His Spirit the heavens became beauty; / His hand pierced the fleeing serpent.

看哪，这些不过是神作为的些微；我们所听于祂的，是何等细微的声音！至于祂大能的雷声，谁能明了呢？
Indeed, these are but the fringes of His ways; / And how small a whisper do we hear of Him! / But as for the thundering of His mightiness, who can comprehend it?
