Job 16

KJV

1  Then Job³⁴⁷ answered⁶⁰³⁰ and said,⁵⁵⁹

2  I have heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ many⁷²²⁷ such things:⁴²⁸ miserable⁵⁹⁹⁹ comforters⁵¹⁶² are ye all.³⁶⁰⁵

3  Shall vain⁷³⁰⁷ words¹⁶⁹⁷ have an end?⁷⁰⁹³ or¹⁷⁶ what⁴¹⁰⁰ emboldeneth⁴⁸³⁴ thee that³⁵⁸⁸ thou answerest?⁶⁰³⁰

4  I⁵⁹⁵ also¹⁵⁷¹ could speak¹⁶⁹⁶ as ye do: if³⁸⁶³ your soul⁵³¹⁵ were³⁴²⁶ in my soul's stead,^{8478 5315} I could heap up²²⁶⁶ words⁴⁴⁰⁵ against⁵⁹²¹ you, and shake⁵¹²⁸ mine¹¹¹⁹ head⁷²¹⁸ at⁵⁹²¹ you.

5  But I would strengthen⁵⁵³ you with¹¹¹⁹ my mouth,⁶³¹⁰ and the moving⁵²⁰⁵ of my lips⁸¹⁹³ should assuage²⁸²⁰ your grief.

6  Though⁵¹⁸ I speak,¹⁶⁹⁶ my grief³⁵¹¹ is not³⁸⁰⁸ assuaged:²⁸²⁰ and though I forbear,²³⁰⁸ what^{4100 4480} am I eased?¹⁹⁸⁰

7  But³⁸⁹ now⁶²⁵⁸ he hath made me weary:³⁸¹¹ thou hast made desolate⁸⁰⁷⁴ all³⁶⁰⁵ my company.⁵⁷¹²

8  And thou hast filled me with wrath,⁷⁰⁵⁹ which is¹⁹⁶¹ a witness⁵⁷⁰⁷ against me: and my leanness³⁵⁸⁵ rising up⁶⁹⁶⁵ in me beareth witness⁶⁰³⁰ to my face.⁶⁴⁴⁰

9  He teareth²⁹⁶³ me in his wrath,⁶³⁹ who hateth⁷⁸⁵² me: he gnasheth²⁷⁸⁶ upon⁵⁹²¹ me with his teeth;⁸¹²⁷ mine enemy⁶⁸⁶² sharpeneth³⁹¹³ his eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ upon me.

10  They have gaped⁶⁴⁷³ upon⁵⁹²¹ me with their mouth;⁶³¹⁰ they have smitten⁵²²¹ me upon the cheek³⁸⁹⁵ reproachfully;²⁷⁸¹ they have gathered themselves⁴³⁹⁰ together³¹⁶² against⁵⁹²¹ me.

11  God⁴¹⁰ hath delivered⁵⁴⁶² me to⁴¹³ the ungodly,⁵⁷⁶⁰ and turned me over³³⁹⁹ into⁵⁹²¹ the hands³⁰²⁷ of the wicked.⁷⁵⁶³

12  I was¹⁹⁶¹ at ease,⁷⁹⁶¹ but he hath broken me asunder:⁶⁵⁶⁵ he hath also taken²⁷⁰ me by my neck,⁶²⁰³ and shaken me to pieces,⁶³²⁷ and set me up⁶⁹⁶⁵ for his mark.⁴³⁰⁷

13  His archers⁷²²⁸ compass me round about,^{5437 5921} he cleaveth⁶³⁹⁸ my reins³⁶²⁹ asunder, and doth not³⁸⁰⁸ spare;²⁵⁵⁰ he poureth out⁸²¹⁰ my gall⁴⁸⁴⁵ upon the ground.⁷⁷⁶

14  He breaketh⁶⁵⁵⁵ me with breach⁶⁵⁵⁶ upon^{5921 6440} breach,⁶⁵⁵⁶ he runneth⁷³²³ upon⁵⁹²¹ me like a giant.¹³⁶⁸

15  I have sewed⁸⁶⁰⁹ sackcloth⁸²⁴² upon⁵⁹²¹ my skin,¹⁵³⁹ and defiled⁵⁹⁵³ my horn⁷¹⁶¹ in the dust.⁶⁰⁸³

16  My face⁶⁴⁴⁰ is foul²⁵⁶⁰ with⁴⁴⁸⁰ weeping,¹⁰⁶⁵ and on⁵⁹²¹ my eyelids⁶⁰⁷⁹ is the shadow of death;⁶⁷⁵⁷

17  Not³⁸⁰⁸ for⁵⁹²¹ any injustice²⁵⁵⁵ in mine hands:³⁷⁰⁹ also my prayer⁸⁶⁰⁵ is pure.²¹³⁴

18  O earth,⁷⁷⁶ cover³⁶⁸⁰ not⁴⁰⁸ thou my blood,¹⁸¹⁸ and let my cry²²⁰¹ have¹⁹⁶¹ no⁴⁰⁸ place.⁴⁷²⁵

19  Also¹⁵⁷¹ now,⁶²⁵⁸ behold,²⁰⁰⁹ my witness⁵⁷⁰⁷ is in heaven,⁸⁰⁶⁴ and my record⁷⁷¹⁷ is on high.⁴⁷⁹¹

20  My friends⁷⁴⁵³ scorn³⁸⁸⁷ me: but mine eye⁵⁸⁶⁹ poureth out¹⁸¹¹ tears unto⁴¹³ God.⁴³³

21  O that one might plead³¹⁹⁸ for a man¹³⁹⁷ with⁵⁹⁷³ God,⁴³³ as a man^{1121 120} pleadeth for his neighbor!⁷⁴⁵³

22  When³⁵⁸⁸ a few⁴⁵⁵⁷ years⁸¹⁴¹ are come,⁸⁵⁷ then I shall go¹⁹⁸⁰ the way⁷³⁴ whence I shall not³⁸⁰⁸ return.⁷⁷²⁵

1 ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Ιωβ λέγει

2 ἀκήκοα τοιαῦτα πολλά παρακλήτορες κακῶν πάντες

3 τί γάρ μὴ τάξις ἐστὶν ῥήμασιν πνεύματος ἢ τί παρενοχλήσει σοι ὅτι ἀποκρίνῃ

4 κἀγὼ καθ᾽ ὑμᾶς λαλήσω εἰ ὑπέκειτό γε ἡ ψυχὴ ὑμῶν ἀντὶ τῆς ἐμῆς εἶτ᾽ ἐναλοῦμαι ὑμῖν ῥήμασιν κινήσω δὲ καθ᾽ ὑμῶν κεφαλήν

5 εἴη δὲ ἰσχὺς ἐν τῷ στόματί μου κίνησιν δὲ χειλέων οὐ φείσομαι

6 ἐὰν γὰρ λαλήσω οὐκ ἀλγήσω τὸ τραῦμα ἐὰν δὲ καὶ σιωπήσω τί ἔλαττον τρωθήσομαι

7 νῦν δὲ κατάκοπόν με πεποίηκεν μωρόν σεσηπότα

8 καὶ ἐπελάβου μου εἰς μαρτύριον ἐγενήθη καὶ ἀνέστη ἐν ἐμοὶ τὸ ψεῦδός μου κατὰ πρόσωπόν μου ἀνταπεκρίθη

9 ὀργῇ χρησάμενος κατέβαλέν με ἔβρυξεν ἐπ᾽ ἐμὲ τοὺς ὀδόντας βέλη πειρατῶν αὐτοῦ ἐπ᾽ ἐμοὶ ἔπεσεν

10 ἀκίσιν ὀφθαλμῶν ἐνήλατο ὀξεῖ ἔπαισέν με εἰς σιαγόνα ὁμοθυμαδὸν δὲ κατέδραμον ἐπ᾽ ἐμοί

11 παρέδωκεν γάρ με ὁ κύριος εἰς χεῖρας ἀδίκου ἐπὶ δὲ ἀσεβέσιν ἔρριψέν με

12 εἰρηνεύοντα διεσκέδασέν με λαβών με τῆς κόμης διέτιλεν κατέστησέν με ὥσπερ σκοπόν

13 ἐκύκλωσάν με λόγχαις βάλλοντες εἰς νεφρούς μου οὐ φειδόμενοι ἐξέχεαν εἰς τὴν γῆν τὴν χολήν μου

14 κατέβαλόν με πτῶμα ἐπὶ πτώματι ἔδραμον πρός με δυνάμενοι

15 σάκκον ἔρραψα ἐπὶ βύρσης μου τὸ δὲ σθένος μου ἐν γῇ ἐσβέσθη

16 ἡ γαστήρ μου συγκέκαυται ἀπὸ κλαυθμοῦ ἐπὶ δὲ βλεφάροις μου σκιά

17 ἄδικον δὲ οὐδὲν ἦν ἐν χερσίν μου εὐχὴ δέ μου καθαρά

18 γῆ μὴ ἐπικαλύψῃς ἐφ᾽ αἵματι τῆς σαρκός μου μηδὲ εἴη τόπος τῇ κραυγῇ μου

19 καὶ νῦν ἰδοὺ ἐν οὐρανοῖς ὁ μάρτυς μου ὁ δὲ συνίστωρ μου ἐν ὑψίστοις

20 ἀφίκοιτό μου ἡ δέησις πρὸς κύριον ἔναντι δὲ αὐτοῦ στάζοι μου ὁ ὀφθαλμός

21 εἴη δὲ ἔλεγχος ἀνδρὶ ἔναντι κυρίου καὶ υἱὸς ἀνθρώπου τῷ πλησίον αὐτοῦ

22 ἔτη δὲ ἀριθμητὰ ἥκασιν ὁδῷ δέ ᾗ οὐκ ἐπαναστραφήσομαι πορεύσομαι

1 Respondens autem Job, dixit:

2 [Audivi frequenter talia:
consolatores onerosi omnes vos estis.

3 Numquid habebunt finem verba ventosa?
aut aliquid tibi molestum est, si loquaris?

4 Poteram et ego similia vestri loqui,
atque utinam esset anima vestra pro anima mea:

5 consolarer et ego vos sermonibus,
et moverem caput meum super vos;

6 roborarem vos ore meo,
et moverem labia mea, quasi parcens vobis.

7 Sed quid agam? Si locutus fuero, non quiescet dolor meus,
et si tacuero, non recedet a me.

8 Nunc autem oppressit me dolor meus,
et in nihilum redacti sunt omnes artus mei.

9 Rugæ meæ testimonium dicunt contra me,
et suscitatur falsiloquus adversus faciem meam, contradicens mihi.

10 Collegit furorem suum in me,
et comminans mihi, infremuit contra me dentibus suis:
hostis meus terribilibus oculis me intuitus est.

11 Aperuerunt super me ora sua,
et exprobrantes percusserunt maxillam meam:
satiati sunt pœnis meis.

12 Conclusit me Deus apud iniquum,
et manibus impiorum me tradidit.

13 Ego ille quondam opulentus, repente contritus sum:
tenuit cervicem meam, confregit me,
et posuit me sibi quasi in signum.

14 Circumdedit me lanceis suis;
convulneravit lumbos meos:
non pepercit, et effudit in terra viscera mea.

15 Concidit me vulnere super vulnus:
irruit in me quasi gigas.

16 Saccum consui super cutem meam,
et operui cinere carnem meam.

17 Facies mea intumuit a fletu,
et palpebræ meæ caligaverunt.

18 Hæc passus sum absque iniquitate manus meæ,
cum haberem mundas ad Deum preces.

19 Terra, ne operias sanguinem meum,
neque inveniat in te locum latendi clamor meus:

20 ecce enim in cælo testis meus,
et conscius meus in excelsis.

21 Verbosi amici mei:
ad Deum stillat oculus meus:

22 atque utinam sic judicaretur vir cum Deo,
quomodo judicatur filius hominis cum collega suo.

23 Ecce enim breves anni transeunt,
et semitam per quam non revertar ambulo.]
