Job 24

KJV

1  Why,⁴⁰⁶⁹ seeing times⁶²⁵⁶ are not³⁸⁰⁸ hidden⁶⁸⁴⁵ from the Almighty,^{4480 7706} do they that know³⁰⁴⁵ him not³⁸⁰⁸ see²³⁷² his days?³¹¹⁷

2  Some remove⁵³⁸¹ the landmarks;¹³⁶⁷ they violently take away¹⁴⁹⁷ flocks,⁵⁷³⁹ and feed⁷⁴⁶² thereof.

3  They drive away⁵⁰⁹⁰ the ass²⁵⁴³ of the fatherless,³⁴⁹⁰ they take the widow's ox for a pledge.^{2254 7794 490}

4  They turn⁵¹⁸⁶ the needy³⁴ out of the way:^{4480 1870} the poor⁶⁰⁴¹ of the earth⁷⁷⁶ hide²²⁴⁴ themselves together.³¹⁶²

5  Behold,²⁰⁰⁵ as wild asses⁶⁵⁰¹ in the desert,⁴⁰⁵⁷ go they forth³³¹⁸ to their work;⁶⁴⁶⁷ rising quickly⁷⁸³⁶ for a prey:²⁹⁶⁴ the wilderness⁶¹⁶⁰ yieldeth food³⁸⁹⁹ for them and for their children.⁵²⁸⁸

6  They reap⁷¹¹⁴ every one his corn¹⁰⁹⁸ in the field:⁷⁷⁰⁴ and they gather³⁹⁵³ the vintage³⁷⁵⁴ of the wicked.⁷⁵⁶³

7  They cause the naked⁶¹⁷⁴ to lodge³⁸⁸⁵ without^{4480 1097} clothing,³⁸³⁰ that they have no³⁶⁹ covering³⁶⁸² in the cold.⁷¹³⁵

8  They are wet⁷³⁷² with the showers^{4480 2230} of the mountains,²⁰²² and embrace²²⁶³ the rock⁶⁶⁹⁷ for want^{4480 1097} of a shelter.⁴²⁶⁸

9  They pluck¹⁴⁹⁷ the fatherless³⁴⁹⁰ from the breast,^{4480 7699} and take a pledge²²⁵⁴ of⁵⁹²¹ the poor.⁶⁰⁴¹

10  They cause him to go¹⁹⁸⁰ naked⁶¹⁷⁴ without¹⁰⁹⁷ clothing,³⁸³⁰ and they take away⁵³⁷⁵ the sheaf⁶⁰¹⁶ from the hungry;⁷⁴⁵⁷

11  Which make oil⁶⁶⁷¹ within⁹⁹⁶ their walls,⁷⁷⁹¹ and tread¹⁸⁶⁹ their winepresses,³³⁴² and suffer thirst.⁶⁷⁷⁰

12  Men⁴⁹⁶² groan⁵⁰⁰⁸ from out of the city,^{4480 5892} and the soul⁵³¹⁵ of the wounded²⁴⁹¹ crieth out:⁷⁷⁶⁸ yet God⁴³³ layeth⁷⁷⁶⁰ not³⁸⁰⁸ folly⁸⁶⁰⁴ to them.

13  They¹⁹⁹² are¹⁹⁶¹ of those that rebel⁴⁷⁷⁵ against the light;²¹⁶ they know⁵²³⁴ not³⁸⁰⁸ the ways¹⁸⁷⁰ thereof, nor³⁸⁰⁸ abide³⁴²⁷ in the paths⁵⁴¹⁰ thereof.

14  The murderer⁷⁵²³ rising⁶⁹⁶⁵ with the light²¹⁶ killeth⁶⁹⁹¹ the poor⁶⁰⁴¹ and needy,³⁴ and in the night³⁹¹⁵ is¹⁹⁶¹ as a thief.¹⁵⁹⁰

15  The eye⁵⁸⁶⁹ also of the adulterer⁵⁰⁰³ waiteth⁸¹⁰⁴ for the twilight,⁵³⁹⁹ saying,⁵⁵⁹ No³⁸⁰⁸ eye⁵⁸⁶⁹ shall see⁷⁷⁸⁹ me: and disguiseth^{5643 7760} his face.⁶⁴⁴⁰

16  In the dark²⁸²² they dig through²⁸⁶⁴ houses,¹⁰⁰⁴ which they had marked²⁸⁵⁶ for themselves in the daytime:³¹¹⁹ they know³⁰⁴⁵ not³⁸⁰⁸ the light.²¹⁶

17  For³⁵⁸⁸ the morning¹²⁴² is to them even as³¹⁶² the shadow of death:⁶⁷⁵⁷ if³⁵⁸⁸ one know⁵²³⁴ them, they are in the terrors¹⁰⁹¹ of the shadow of death.⁶⁷⁵⁷

18  He¹⁹³¹ is swift⁷⁰³¹ as^{5921 6440} the waters;⁴³²⁵ their portion²⁵¹³ is cursed⁷⁰⁴³ in the earth:⁷⁷⁶ he beholdeth⁶⁴³⁷ not³⁸⁰⁸ the way¹⁸⁷⁰ of the vineyards.³⁷⁵⁴

19  Drought⁶⁷²³ and¹⁵⁷¹ heat²⁵²⁷ consume¹⁴⁹⁷ the snow⁷⁹⁵⁰ waters:⁴³²⁵ so doth the grave⁷⁵⁸⁵ those which have sinned.²³⁹⁸

20  The womb⁷³⁵⁸ shall forget⁷⁹¹¹ him; the worm⁷⁴¹⁵ shall feed sweetly⁴⁹⁸⁸ on him; he shall be no³⁸⁰⁸ more⁵⁷⁵⁰ remembered;²¹⁴² and wickedness⁵⁷⁶⁶ shall be broken⁷⁶⁶⁵ as a tree.⁶⁰⁸⁶

21  He evil entreateth⁷⁴⁶² the barren⁶¹³⁵ that beareth³²⁰⁵ not:³⁸⁰⁸ and doeth not³⁸⁰⁸ good³¹⁹⁰ to the widow.⁴⁹⁰

22  He draweth⁴⁹⁰⁰ also the mighty⁴⁷ with his power:³⁵⁸¹ he riseth up,⁶⁹⁶⁵ and no³⁸⁰⁸ man is sure⁵³⁹ of life.²⁴¹⁶

23  Though it be given⁵⁴¹⁴ him to be in safety,⁹⁸³ whereon he resteth;⁸¹⁷² yet his eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ are upon⁵⁹²¹ their ways.¹⁸⁷⁰

24  They are exalted⁷⁴²⁶ for a little while,⁴⁵⁹² but are gone³⁶⁹ and brought low;⁴³⁵⁵ they are taken out of the way⁷⁰⁹² as all³⁶⁰⁵ other, and cut off⁵²⁴³ as the tops⁷²¹⁸ of the ears of corn.⁷⁶⁴¹

25  And if⁵¹⁸ it be not³⁸⁰⁸ so now,⁶⁴⁵ who⁴³¹⁰ will make me a liar,³⁵⁷⁶ and make⁷⁷⁶⁰ my speech⁴⁴⁰⁵ nothing⁴⁰⁸ worth?

1 διὰ τί δὲ κύριον ἔλαθον ὧραι

2 ἀσεβεῖς δὲ ὅριον ὑπερέβησαν ποίμνιον σὺν ποιμένι ἁρπάσαντες

3 ὑποζύγιον ὀρφανῶν ἀπήγαγον καὶ βοῦν χήρας ἠνεχύρασαν

4 ἐξέκλιναν ἀδυνάτους ἐξ ὁδοῦ δικαίας ὁμοθυμαδὸν ἐκρύβησαν πραεῖς γῆς

5 ἀπέβησαν δὲ ὥσπερ ὄνοι ἐν ἀγρῷ ὑπὲρ ἐμοῦ ἐξελθόντες τὴν ἑαυτῶν πρᾶξιν ἡδύνθη αὐτῷ ἄρτος εἰς νεωτέρους

6 ἀγρὸν πρὸ ὥρας οὐκ αὐτῶν ὄντα ἐθέρισαν ἀδύνατοι δὲ ἀμπελῶνας ἀσεβῶν ἀμισθὶ καὶ ἀσιτὶ ἠργάσαντο

7 γυμνοὺς πολλοὺς ἐκοίμισαν ἄνευ ἱματίων ἀμφίασιν δὲ ψυχῆς αὐτῶν ἀφείλαντο

8 ἀπὸ ψεκάδων ὀρέων ὑγραίνονται παρὰ τὸ μὴ ἔχειν αὐτοὺς σκέπην πέτραν περιεβάλοντο

9 ἥρπασαν ὀρφανὸν ἀπὸ μαστοῦ ἐκπεπτωκότα δὲ ἐταπείνωσαν

10 γυμνοὺς δὲ ἐκοίμισαν ἀδίκως πεινώντων δὲ τὸν ψωμὸν ἀφείλαντο

11 ἐν στενοῖς ἀδίκως ἐνήδρευσαν ὁδὸν δὲ δικαίαν οὐκ ᾔδεισαν

12 οἳ ἐκ πόλεως καὶ οἴκων ἰδίων ἐξεβάλλοντο ψυχὴ δὲ νηπίων ἐστέναξεν μέγα αὐτὸς δὲ διὰ τί τούτων ἐπισκοπὴν οὐ πεποίηται

13 ἐπὶ γῆς ὄντων αὐτῶν καὶ οὐκ ἐπέγνωσαν ὁδὸν δὲ δικαιοσύνης οὐκ ᾔδεισαν οὐδὲ ἀτραποὺς αὐτῆς ἐπορεύθησαν

14 γνοὺς δὲ αὐτῶν τὰ ἔργα παρέδωκεν αὐτοὺς εἰς σκότος καὶ νυκτὸς ἔσται ὡς κλέπτης

15 καὶ ὀφθαλμὸς μοιχοῦ ἐφύλαξεν σκότος λέγων οὐ προσνοήσει με ὀφθαλμός καὶ ἀποκρυβὴν προσώπου ἔθετο

16 διώρυξεν ἐν σκότει οἰκίας ἡμέρας ἐσφράγισαν ἑαυτούς οὐκ ἐπέγνωσαν φῶς

17 ὅτι ὁμοθυμαδὸν τὸ πρωὶ αὐτοῖς σκιὰ θανάτου ὅτι ἐπιγνώσεται ταραχὰς σκιᾶς θανάτου

18 ἐλαφρός ἐστιν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον ὕδατος καταραθείη ἡ μερὶς αὐτῶν ἐπὶ γῆς

19 ἀναφανείη δὲ τὰ φυτὰ αὐτῶν ἐπὶ γῆς ξηρά ἀγκαλίδα γὰρ ὀρφανῶν ἥρπασαν

20 εἶτ᾽ ἀνεμνήσθη αὐτοῦ ἡ ἁμαρτία ὥσπερ δὲ ὁμίχλη δρόσου ἀφανὴς ἐγένετο ἀποδοθείη δὲ αὐτῷ ἃ ἔπραξεν συντριβείη δὲ πᾶς ἄδικος ἴσα ξύλῳ ἀνιάτῳ

21 στεῖραν γὰρ οὐκ εὖ ἐποίησεν καὶ γύναιον οὐκ ἠλέησεν

22 θυμῷ δὲ κατέστρεψεν ἀδυνάτους ἀναστὰς τοιγαροῦν οὐ μὴ πιστεύσῃ κατὰ τῆς ἑαυτοῦ ζωῆς

23 μαλακισθεὶς μὴ ἐλπιζέτω ὑγιασθῆναι ἀλλὰ πεσεῖται νόσῳ

24 πολλοὺς γὰρ ἐκάκωσεν τὸ ὕψωμα αὐτοῦ ἐμαράνθη δὲ ὥσπερ μολόχη ἐν καύματι ἢ ὥσπερ στάχυς ἀπὸ καλάμης αὐτόματος ἀποπεσών

25 εἰ δὲ μή τίς ἐστιν ὁ φάμενος ψευδῆ με λέγειν καὶ θήσει εἰς οὐδὲν τὰ ῥήματά μου

Vul

1 [Ab Omnipotente non sunt abscondita tempora:
qui autem noverunt eum,
ignorant dies illius.

2 Alii terminos transtulerunt;
diripuerunt greges, et paverunt eos.

3 Asinum pupillorum abegerunt,
et abstulerunt pro pignore bovem viduæ.

4 Subverterunt pauperum viam,
et oppresserunt pariter mansuetos terræ.

5 Alii quasi onagri in deserto egrediuntur ad opus suum:
vigilantes ad prædam, præparant panem liberis.

6 Agrum non suum demetunt,
et vineam ejus, quem vi oppresserint, vindemiant.

7 Nudos dimittunt homines, indumenta tollentes,
quibus non est operimentum in frigore:

8 quos imbres montium rigant,
et non habentes velamen, amplexantur lapides.

9 Vim fecerunt deprædantes pupillos,
et vulgum pauperem spoliaverunt.

10 Nudis et incedentibus absque vestitu,
et esurientibus tulerunt spicas.

11 Inter acervos eorum meridiati sunt,
qui calcatis torcularibus sitiunt.

12 De civitatibus fecerunt viros gemere,
et anima vulneratorum clamavit:
et Deus inultum abire non patitur.

13 Ipsi fuerunt rebelles lumini:
nescierunt vias ejus,
nec reversi sunt per semitas ejus.

14 Mane primo consurgit homicida;
interficit egenum et pauperem:
per noctem vero erit quasi fur.

15 Oculus adulteri observat caliginem,
dicens: Non me videbit oculus:
et operiet vultum suum.

16 Perfodit in tenebris domos,
sicut in die condixerant sibi,
et ignoraverunt lucem.

17 Si subito apparuerit aurora, arbitrantur umbram mortis:
et sic in tenebris quasi in luce ambulant.

18 Levis est super faciem aquæ:
maledicta sit pars ejus in terra,
nec ambulet per viam vinearum.

19 Ad nimium calorem transeat ab aquis nivium,
et usque ad inferos peccatum illius.

20 Obliviscatur ejus misericordia; dulcedo illius vermes:
non sit in recordatione,
sed conteratur quasi lignum infructuosum.

21 Pavit enim sterilem quæ non parit,
et viduæ bene non fecit.

22 Detraxit fortes in fortitudine sua,
et cum steterit, non credet vitæ suæ.

23 Dedit ei Deus locum pœnitentiæ,
et ille abutitur eo in superbiam:
oculi autem ejus sunt in viis illius.

24 Elevati sunt ad modicum, et non subsistent:
et humiliabuntur sicut omnia, et auferentur,
et sicut summitates spicarum conterentur.

25 Quod si non est ita, quis me potest arguere esse mentitum,
et ponere ante Deum verba mea?]
