13 εαν εις παιδειαν εαν εις την γην αυτου εαν εις ελεος ευρησει αυτον	13 whether in one tribe, or in his own region, or in whatever place of his mercy that he will order them to be found.
14 ενωτιζου ταυτα ιωβ στηθι νουθετου δυναμιν κυριου	14 Listen to these things, Job. Stand up and consider the wonders of God.
15 οιδαμεν οτι ο θεος εθετο εργα αυτου φως ποιησας εκ σκοτους	15 Do you know when God ordered the rains, so as to show the light of his clouds?
16 επισταται δε διακρισιν νεφων εξαισια δε πτωματα πονηρων	16 Do you know the great paths of the clouds, and the perfect sciences?
17 σου δε η στολη θερμη ησυχαζεται δε επι της γης	17 Are not your garments hot, when the south wind blows across the land?
18 στερεωσεις μετ' αυτου εις παλαιωματα ισχυραι ως ορασις επιχυσεως	18 Perhaps you have made the heavens with him, which are very solid, as if they had been cast from brass.
19 δια τι διδαξον με τι ερουμεν αυτω και παυσωμεθα πολλα λεγοντες	19 Reveal to us what we should say to him, for, of course, we are wrapped in darkness.
20 μη βιβλος η γραμματευς μοι παρεστηκεν ινα ανθρωπον εστηκως κατασιωπησω	20 Who will explain to him the things that I am saying? Even while a man is still speaking, he will be devoured.
21 πασιν δ' ουχ ορατον το φως τηλαυγες εστιν εν τοις παλαιωμασιν ωσπερ το παρ' αυτου επι νεφων	21 Although they do not see the light, the air will be thickened suddenly into clouds, and the wind, passing by, will drive them away.
22 απο βορρα νεφη χρυσαυγουντα επι τουτοις μεγαλη η δοξα και τιμη παντοκρατορος	22 Riches arrive from the north, and fearful praise reaches out to God.
23 και ουχ ευρισκομεν αλλον ομοιον τη ισχυι αυτου ο τα δικαια κρινων ουκ οιει επακουειν αυτον	23 We are not worthy to be able to find him. Great in strength, great in judgment, great in justice: he is indescribable.
24 διο φοβηθησονται αυτον οι ανθρωποι φοβηθησονται δε αυτον και οι σοφοι καρδια	24 Therefore, men will fear him, and all those who seem to themselves to be wise, will not dare to contemplate him.
