Job 6

KJV

1  But Job³⁴⁷ answered⁶⁰³⁰ and said,⁵⁵⁹

2  Oh that³⁸⁶³ my grief³⁷⁰⁸ were throughly weighed,^{8254 8254} and my calamity¹⁹⁴² laid⁵³⁷⁵ in the balances³⁹⁷⁶ together!³¹⁶²

3  For³⁵⁸⁸ now⁶²⁵⁸ it would be heavier³⁵¹³ than the sand^{4480 2344} of the sea:³²²⁰ therefore^{5921 3651} my words¹⁶⁹⁷ are swallowed up.³⁸⁸⁶

4  For³⁵⁸⁸ the arrows²⁶⁷¹ of the Almighty⁷⁷⁰⁶ are within⁵⁹⁷⁸ me, the poison²⁵³⁴ whereof⁸³⁴ drinketh up⁸³⁵⁴ my spirit:⁷³⁰⁷ the terrors¹¹⁶¹ of God⁴³³ do set themselves in array against⁶¹⁸⁶ me.

5  Doth the wild ass⁶⁵⁰¹ bray⁵¹⁰¹ when he hath grass?¹⁸⁷⁷ or⁵¹⁸ loweth¹⁶⁰⁰ the ox⁷⁷⁹⁴ over⁵⁹²¹ his fodder?¹⁰⁹⁸

6  Can that which is unsavory⁸⁶⁰² be eaten³⁹⁸ without^{4480 1097} salt?⁴⁴¹⁷ or⁵¹⁸ is there³⁴²⁶ any taste²⁹⁴⁰ in the white⁷³⁸⁸ of an egg?²⁴⁹⁵

7  The things¹⁹⁹² that my soul⁵³¹⁵ refused³⁹⁸⁵ to touch⁵⁰⁶⁰ are as my sorrowful¹⁷⁴¹ meat.³⁸⁹⁹

8  Oh that⁴³¹⁰ I might⁵⁴¹⁴ have⁹³⁵ my request;⁷⁵⁹⁶ and that God⁴³³ would grant⁵⁴¹⁴ me the thing that I long for!⁸⁶¹⁵

9  Even that it would please²⁹⁷⁴ God⁴³³ to destroy¹⁷⁹² me; that he would let loose⁵⁴²⁵ his hand,³⁰²⁷ and cut me off!¹²¹⁴

10  Then should I yet⁵⁷⁵⁰ have¹⁹⁶¹ comfort;⁵¹⁶⁵ yea, I would harden⁵⁵³⁹ myself in sorrow:²⁴²⁷ let him not³⁸⁰⁸ spare;²⁵⁵⁰ for³⁵⁸⁸ I have not³⁸⁰⁸ concealed³⁵⁸² the words⁵⁶¹ of the Holy One.⁶⁹¹⁸

11  What⁴¹⁰⁰ is my strength,³⁵⁸¹ that³⁵⁸⁸ I should hope?³¹⁷⁶ and what⁴¹⁰⁰ is mine end,⁷⁰⁹³ that³⁵⁸⁸ I should prolong⁷⁴⁸ my life?⁵³¹⁵

12  Is my strength³⁵⁸¹ the strength³⁵⁸¹ of stones?⁶⁸ or is my flesh¹³²⁰ of brass?⁵¹⁵³

13  Is not³⁶⁹ my help⁵⁸³³ in me? and is wisdom⁸⁴⁵⁴ driven⁵⁰⁸⁰ quite from⁴⁴⁸⁰ me?

14  To him that is afflicted⁴⁵²³ pity²⁶¹⁷ should be showed from his friend;^{4480 7453} but he forsaketh⁵⁸⁰⁰ the fear³³⁷⁴ of the Almighty.⁷⁷⁰⁶

15  My brethren²⁵¹ have dealt deceitfully⁸⁹⁸ as³⁶⁴⁴ a brook,⁵¹⁵⁸ and as the stream⁶⁵⁰ of brooks⁵¹⁵⁸ they pass away;⁵⁶⁷⁴

16  Which are blackish⁶⁹³⁷ by reason of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the ice,⁷¹⁴⁰ and wherein⁵⁹²¹ the snow⁷⁹⁵⁰ is hid:⁵⁹⁵⁶

17  What time⁶²⁵⁶ they wax warm,²²¹⁵ they vanish:⁶⁷⁸⁹ when it is hot,²⁵²² they are consumed¹⁸⁴⁶ out of their place.^{4480 4725}

18  The paths⁷³⁴ of their way¹⁸⁷⁰ are turned aside;³⁹⁴³ they go⁵⁹²⁷ to nothing,⁸⁴¹⁴ and perish.⁶

19  The troops⁷³⁴ of Tema⁸⁴⁸⁵ looked,⁵⁰²⁷ the companies¹⁹⁷⁹ of Sheba⁷⁶¹⁴ waited⁶⁹⁶⁰ for³⁹²⁶ them.

20  They were confounded⁹⁵⁴ because³⁵⁸⁸ they had hoped;⁹⁸² they came⁹³⁵ thither,⁵⁷⁰⁴ and were ashamed.²⁶⁵⁹

21  For³⁵⁸⁸ now⁶²⁵⁸ ye are¹⁹⁶¹ nothing;³⁸⁰⁸ ye see⁷²⁰⁰ my casting down,²⁸⁶⁶ and are afraid.³³⁷²

22  Did³⁵⁸⁸ I say,⁵⁵⁹ Bring³⁰⁵¹ unto me? or, Give a reward⁷⁸⁰⁹ for¹¹⁵⁷ me of your substance?^{4480 3581}

23  Or, Deliver⁴⁴²² me from the enemy's hand?^{4480 3027 6862} or, Redeem⁶²⁹⁹ me from the hand^{4480 3027} of the mighty?⁶¹⁸⁴

24  Teach³³⁸⁴ me, and I⁵⁸⁹ will hold my tongue:²⁷⁹⁰ and cause me to understand⁹⁹⁵ wherein⁴¹⁰⁰ I have erred.⁷⁶⁸⁶

25  How⁴¹⁰⁰ forcible⁴⁸³⁴ are right³⁴⁷⁶ words!⁵⁶¹ but what⁴¹⁰⁰ doth your arguing³¹⁹⁸ reprove?^{3198 4480}

26  Do ye imagine²⁸⁰³ to reprove³¹⁹⁸ words,⁴⁴⁰⁵ and the speeches⁵⁶¹ of one that is desperate,²⁹⁷⁶ which are as wind?⁷³⁰⁷

27  Yea,⁶³⁷ ye overwhelm^{5307 5921} the fatherless,³⁴⁹⁰ and ye dig³⁷³⁸ a pit for⁵⁹²¹ your friend.⁷⁴⁵³

28  Now⁶²⁵⁸ therefore be content,²⁹⁷⁴ look⁶⁴³⁷ upon me; for it is evident unto^{5921 6440} you if⁵¹⁸ I lie.³⁵⁷⁶

29  Return,⁷⁷²⁵ I pray you,⁴⁹⁹⁴ let it not⁴⁰⁸ be¹⁹⁶¹ iniquity;⁵⁷⁶⁶ yea, return⁷⁷²⁵ again,⁵⁷⁵⁰ my righteousness⁶⁶⁶⁴ is in it.

30  Is there³⁴²⁶ iniquity⁵⁷⁶⁶ in my tongue?³⁹⁵⁶ cannot³⁸⁰⁸ my taste²⁴⁴¹ discern⁹⁹⁵ perverse things?¹⁹⁴²

1 ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Ιωβ λέγει

2 εἰ γάρ τις ἱστῶν στήσαι μου τὴν ὀργήν τὰς δὲ ὀδύνας μου ἄραι ἐν ζυγῷ ὁμοθυμαδόν

3 καὶ δὴ ἄμμου παραλίας βαρυτέρα ἔσται ἀλλ᾽ ὡς ἔοικεν τὰ ῥήματά μού ἐστιν φαῦλα

4 βέλη γὰρ κυρίου ἐν τῷ σώματί μού ἐστιν ὧν ὁ θυμὸς αὐτῶν ἐκπίνει μου τὸ αἷμα ὅταν ἄρξωμαι λαλεῖν κεντοῦσί με

5 τί γάρ μὴ διὰ κενῆς κεκράξεται ὄνος ἄγριος ἀλλ᾽ ἢ τὰ σῖτα ζητῶν εἰ δὲ καὶ ῥήξει φωνὴν βοῦς ἐπὶ φάτνης ἔχων τὰ βρώματα

6 εἰ βρωθήσεται ἄρτος ἄνευ ἁλός εἰ δὲ καὶ ἔστιν γεῦμα ἐν ῥήμασιν κενοῖς

7 οὐ δύναται γὰρ παύσασθαί μου ἡ ψυχή βρόμον γὰρ ὁρῶ τὰ σῖτά μου ὥσπερ ὀσμὴν λέοντος

8 εἰ γὰρ δῴη καὶ ἔλθοι μου ἡ αἴτησις καὶ τὴν ἐλπίδα μου δῴη ὁ κύριος

9 ἀρξάμενος ὁ κύριος τρωσάτω με εἰς τέλος δὲ μή με ἀνελέτω

10 εἴη δέ μου πόλις τάφος ἐφ᾽ ἧς ἐπὶ τειχέων ἡλλόμην ἐπ᾽ αὐτῆς οὐ μὴ φείσωμαι οὐ γὰρ ἐψευσάμην ῥήματα ἅγια θεοῦ μου

11 τίς γάρ μου ἡ ἰσχύς ὅτι ὑπομένω ἢ τίς μου ὁ χρόνος ὅτι ἀνέχεταί μου ἡ ψυχή

12 μὴ ἰσχὺς λίθων ἡ ἰσχύς μου ἢ αἱ σάρκες μού εἰσιν χάλκειαι

13 ἦ οὐκ ἐπ᾽ αὐτῷ ἐπεποίθειν βοήθεια δὲ ἀπ᾽ ἐμοῦ ἄπεστιν

14 ἀπείπατό με ἔλεος ἐπισκοπὴ δὲ κυρίου ὑπερεῖδέν με

15 οὐ προσεῖδόν με οἱ ἐγγύτατοί μου ὥσπερ χειμάρρους ἐκλείπων ἢ ὥσπερ κῦμα παρῆλθόν με

16 οἵτινές με διευλαβοῦντο νῦν ἐπιπεπτώκασίν μοι ὥσπερ χιὼν ἢ κρύσταλλος πεπηγώς

17 καθὼς τακεῖσα θέρμης γενομένης οὐκ ἐπεγνώσθη ὅπερ ἦν

18 οὕτως κἀγὼ κατελείφθην ὑπὸ πάντων ἀπωλόμην δὲ καὶ ἔξοικος ἐγενόμην

19 ἴδετε ὁδοὺς Θαιμανων ἀτραποὺς Σαβων οἱ διορῶντες

20 καὶ αἰσχύνην ὀφειλήσουσιν οἱ ἐπὶ πόλεσιν καὶ χρήμασιν πεποιθότες

21 ἀτὰρ δὲ καὶ ὑμεῖς ἐπέβητέ μοι ἀνελεημόνως ὥστε ἰδόντες τὸ ἐμὸν τραῦμα φοβήθητε

22 τί γάρ μή τι ὑμᾶς ᾔτησα ἢ τῆς παρ᾽ ὑμῶν ἰσχύος ἐπιδέομαι

23 ὥστε σῶσαί με ἐξ ἐχθρῶν ἢ ἐκ χειρὸς δυναστῶν ῥύσασθαί με

24 διδάξατέ με ἐγὼ δὲ κωφεύσω εἴ τι πεπλάνημαι φράσατέ μοι

25 ἀλλ᾽ ὡς ἔοικεν φαῦλα ἀληθινοῦ ῥήματα οὐ γὰρ παρ᾽ ὑμῶν ἰσχὺν αἰτοῦμαι

26 οὐδὲ ὁ ἔλεγχος ὑμῶν ῥήμασίν με παύσει οὐδὲ γὰρ ὑμῶν φθέγμα ῥήματος ἀνέξομαι

27 πλὴν ὅτι ἐπ᾽ ὀρφανῷ ἐπιπίπτετε ἐνάλλεσθε δὲ ἐπὶ φίλῳ ὑμῶν

28 νυνὶ δὲ εἰσβλέψας εἰς πρόσωπα ὑμῶν οὐ ψεύσομαι

29 καθίσατε δὴ καὶ μὴ εἴη ἄδικον καὶ πάλιν τῷ δικαίῳ συνέρχεσθε

30 οὐ γάρ ἐστιν ἐν γλώσσῃ μου ἄδικον ἢ ὁ λάρυγξ μου οὐχὶ σύνεσιν μελετᾷ

1 Respondens autem Job, dixit:

2 [Utinam appenderentur peccata mea quibus iram merui,
et calamitas quam patior, in statera!

3 Quasi arena maris hæc gravior appareret;
unde et verba mea dolore sunt plena:

4 quia sagittæ Domini in me sunt,
quarum indignatio ebibit spiritum meum;
et terrores Domini militant contra me.

5 Numquid rugiet onager cum habuerit herbam?
aut mugiet bos cum ante præsepe plenum steterit?

6 aut poterit comedi insulsum, quod non est sale conditum?
aut potest aliquis gustare quod gustatum affert mortem?

7 Quæ prius nolebat tangere anima mea,
nunc, præ angustia, cibi mei sunt.

8 Quis det ut veniat petitio mea,
et quod expecto tribuat mihi Deus?

9 et qui cœpit, ipse me conterat;
solvat manum suam, et succidat me?

10 Et hæc mihi sit consolatio, ut affligens me dolore, non parcat,
nec contradicam sermonibus Sancti.

11 Quæ est enim fortitudo mea, ut sustineam?
aut quis finis meus, ut patienter agam?

12 Nec fortitudo lapidum fortitudo mea,
nec caro mea ænea est.

13 Ecce non est auxilium mihi in me,
et necessarii quoque mei recesserunt a me.

14 Qui tollit ab amico suo misericordiam,
timorem Domini derelinquit.

15 Fratres mei præterierunt me,
sicut torrens qui raptim transit in convallibus.

16 Qui timent pruinam,
irruet super eos nix.

17 Tempore quo fuerint dissipati, peribunt;
et ut incaluerit, solventur de loco suo.

18 Involutæ sunt semitæ gressuum eorum;
ambulabunt in vacuum, et peribunt.

19 Considerate semitas Thema, itinera Saba,
et expectate paulisper.

20 Confusi sunt, quia speravi:
venerunt quoque usque ad me, et pudore cooperti sunt.

21 Nunc venistis;
et modo videntes plagam meam, timetis.

22 Numquid dixi: Afferte mihi,
et de substantia vestra donate mihi?

23 vel: Liberate me de manu hostis,
et de manu robustorum eruite me?

24 Docete me, et ego tacebo:
et si quid forte ignoravi, instruite me.

25 Quare detraxistis sermonibus veritatis,
cum e vobis nullus sit qui possit arguere me?

26 Ad increpandum tantum eloquia concinnatis,
et in ventum verba profertis.

27 Super pupillum irruitis,
et subvertere nitimini amicum vestrum.

28 Verumtamen quod cœpistis explete:
præbete aurem, et videte an mentiar.

29 Respondete, obsecro, absque contentione;
et loquentes id quod justum est, judicate.

30 Et non invenietis in lingua mea iniquitatem,
nec in faucibus meis stultitia personabit.]
