Job 26

Catholic Public Domain Bible	Le Sainte Bible Fillion
¹ Then Job responded by saying:	¹ Alors Job répondit en ces termes:
² Whose assistant are you? Is he weak-minded? And do you sustain the arm of him that is not strong?	² De qui es-tu l'auxiliaire? Est-ce du faible? et soutiens-tu le bras d'un être dénué de force?
³ To whom have you given advice? Perhaps it is to him that has no wisdom or prudence that you have revealed your many ideas.	³ A qui donnes-tu un conseil? Est-ce à celui qui n'a pas de sagesse? Vraiment tu as manifesté une immense prudence.
⁴ Who is it that you wanted to teach? Was it not him that created the breath of life?	⁴ Qui veux-tu instruire? N'est-ce pas Celui qui a créé le souffle de la vie?
⁵ Behold, giant things groan under the waters, and they dwell with them.	⁵ Les géants mêmes et ceux qui habitent avec eux gémissent sous les eaux.
⁶ The underworld is naked before him, and there is no covering for perdition.	⁶ Le séjour des morts est à nu devant Lui, et l'abîme sans aucun voile.
⁷ He stretched out the North over emptiness, and he suspended the land over nothing.	⁷ Il étend le septentrion sur le vide, et suspend la terre sur le néant.
⁸ He secures the waters in his clouds, so that they do not burst forth downward all at once.	⁸ Il lie les eaux dans Ses nuées, afin qu'elles ne fondent pas sur la terre toutes ensemble.
⁹ He holds back the face of his throne, and he stretches his cloud over it.	⁹ Il couvre la face de Son trône, et Il répand sur lui Sa nuée.
¹⁰ He has set limits around the waters, until light and darkness shall reach their limit.	¹⁰ Il a entouré les eaux d'une limite, jusqu'aux confins de la lumière et des ténèbres.
¹¹ The pillars of heaven tremble and are frightened at his nod.	¹¹ Les colonnes du ciel tremblent, et s'effrayent à Son moindre signe.
¹² By his strength, the seas suddenly gather together, and his foresight has struck the arrogant.	¹² Sa puissance a rassemblé les mers en un instant, et Sa sagesse en a dompté l'orgueil.
¹³ His spirit has adorned the heavens, and his birthing hand has brought forth the winding serpent.	¹³ Son esprit a orné les cieux, et l'adresse de Sa main a fait paraître le serpent plein de replis.
¹⁴ Behold, these things have been said about his ways in part, and, since we barely have heard a small drop of his word, who will be able to gaze upon the thunder of his greatness?	¹⁴ Ce n'est là qu'une partie de Ses oeuvres; et si nous n'avons entendu qu'un léger murmure de Sa voix, qui pourra soutenir le tonnerre de Sa grandeur?
