Job 31

KJV

1  I made³⁷⁷² a covenant¹²⁸⁵ with mine eyes;⁵⁸⁶⁹ why⁴¹⁰⁰ then should I think⁹⁹⁵ upon⁵⁹²¹ a maid?¹³³⁰

2  For what⁴¹⁰⁰ portion²⁵⁰⁶ of God⁴³³ is there from above?^{4480 4605} and what inheritance⁵¹⁵⁹ of the Almighty⁷⁷⁰⁶ from on high?^{4480 4791}

3  Is not³⁸⁰⁸ destruction³⁴³ to the wicked?⁵⁷⁶⁷ and a strange⁵²³⁵ punishment to the workers⁶⁴⁶⁶ of iniquity?²⁰⁵

4  Doth not³⁸⁰⁸ he¹⁹³¹ see⁷²⁰⁰ my ways,¹⁸⁷⁰ and count⁵⁶⁰⁸ all³⁶⁰⁵ my steps?⁶⁸⁰⁶

5  If⁵¹⁸ I have walked¹⁹⁸⁰ with⁵⁹⁷³ vanity,⁷⁷²³ or if my foot⁷²⁷² hath hasted²³⁶³ to⁵⁹²¹ deceit;⁴⁸²⁰

6  Let me be weighed⁸²⁵⁴ in an even⁶⁶⁶⁴ balance,³⁹⁷⁶ that God⁴³³ may know³⁰⁴⁵ mine integrity.⁸⁵³⁸

7  If⁵¹⁸ my step⁸³⁸ hath turned⁵¹⁸⁶ out of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the way,¹⁸⁷⁰ and mine heart³⁸²⁰ walked¹⁹⁸⁰ after³¹⁰ mine eyes,⁵⁸⁶⁹ and if any blot³⁹⁷¹ hath cleaved¹⁶⁹² to mine hands;³⁷⁰⁹

8  Then let me sow,²²³² and let another³¹² eat;³⁹⁸ yea, let my offspring⁶⁶³¹ be rooted out.⁸³²⁷

9  If⁵¹⁸ mine heart³⁸²⁰ have been deceived⁶⁶⁰¹ by⁵⁹²¹ a woman,⁸⁰² or if I have laid wait⁶⁹³ at⁵⁹²¹ my neighbor's⁷⁴⁵³ door;⁶⁶⁰⁷

10  Then let my wife⁸⁰² grind²⁹¹² unto another,³¹² and let others³¹² bow down³⁷⁶⁶ upon⁵⁹²¹ her.

11  For³⁵⁸⁸ this¹⁹³¹ is a heinous crime;²¹⁵⁴ yea, it¹⁹³¹ is an iniquity⁵⁷⁷¹ to be punished by the judges.⁶⁴¹⁴

12  For³⁵⁸⁸ it¹⁹³¹ is a fire⁷⁸⁴ that consumeth³⁹⁸ to⁵⁷⁰⁴ destruction,¹¹ and would root out⁸³²⁷ all³⁶⁰⁵ mine increase.⁸³⁹³

13  If⁵¹⁸ I did despise³⁹⁸⁸ the cause⁴⁹⁴¹ of my manservant⁵⁶⁵⁰ or of my maidservant,⁵¹⁹ when they contended⁷³⁷⁸ with⁵⁹⁷⁸ me;

14  What⁴¹⁰⁰ then shall I do⁶²¹³ when³⁵⁸⁸ God⁴¹⁰ riseth up?⁶⁹⁶⁵ and when³⁵⁸⁸ he visiteth,⁶⁴⁸⁵ what⁴¹⁰⁰ shall I answer⁷⁷²⁵ him?

15  Did not³⁸⁰⁸ he that made⁶²¹³ me in the womb⁹⁹⁰ make⁶²¹³ him? and did not one²⁵⁹ fashion³⁵⁵⁹ us in the womb?⁷³⁵⁸

16  If⁵¹⁸ I have withheld⁴⁵¹³ the poor¹⁸⁰⁰ from their desire,^{4480 2656} or have caused the eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the widow⁴⁹⁰ to fail;³⁶¹⁵

17  Or have eaten³⁹⁸ my morsel⁶⁵⁹⁵ myself alone,⁹⁰⁵ and the fatherless³⁴⁹⁰ hath not³⁸⁰⁸ eaten³⁹⁸ thereof;⁴⁴⁸⁰

18  (For³⁵⁸⁸ from my youth^{4480 5271} he was brought up¹⁴³¹ with me, as with a father,¹ and I have guided⁵¹⁴⁸ her from my mother's⁵¹⁷ womb;)^{4480 990}

19  If⁵¹⁸ I have seen⁷²⁰⁰ any perish⁶ for want^{4480 1097} of clothing,³⁸³⁰ or any poor³⁴ without³⁶⁹ covering;³⁶⁸²

20  If⁵¹⁸ his loins²⁵⁰⁴ have not³⁸⁰⁸ blessed¹²⁸⁸ me, and if he were not warmed²⁵⁵² with the fleece^{4480 1488} of my sheep;³⁵³²

21  If⁵¹⁸ I have lifted up⁵¹³⁰ my hand³⁰²⁷ against⁵⁹²¹ the fatherless,³⁴⁹⁰ when³⁵⁸⁸ I saw⁷²⁰⁰ my help⁵⁸³³ in the gate:⁸¹⁷⁹

22  Then let mine arm³⁸⁰² fall⁵³⁰⁷ from my shoulder blade,^{4480 7929} and mine arm²⁴⁸ be broken⁷⁶⁶⁵ from the bone.^{4480 7070}

23  For³⁵⁸⁸ destruction³⁴³ from God⁴¹⁰ was a terror⁶³⁴³ to⁴¹³ me, and by reason of his highness^{4480 7613} I could³²⁰¹ not³⁸⁰⁸ endure.

24  If⁵¹⁸ I have made⁷⁷⁶⁰ gold²⁰⁹¹ my hope,³⁶⁸⁹ or have said⁵⁵⁹ to the fine gold,³⁸⁰⁰ Thou art my confidence;⁴⁰⁰⁹

25  If⁵¹⁸ I rejoiced⁸⁰⁵⁵ because³⁵⁸⁸ my wealth²⁴²⁸ was great,⁷²²⁷ and because³⁵⁸⁸ mine hand³⁰²⁷ had gotten⁴⁶⁷² much;³⁵²⁴

26  If⁵¹⁸ I beheld⁷²⁰⁰ the sun²¹⁶ when³⁵⁸⁸ it shined,¹⁹⁸⁴ or the moon³³⁹⁴ walking¹⁹⁸⁰ in brightness;³³⁶⁸

27  And my heart³⁸²⁰ hath been secretly⁵⁶⁴³ enticed,⁶⁶⁰¹ or my mouth⁶³¹⁰ hath kissed⁵⁴⁰¹ my hand:³⁰²⁷

28  This¹⁹³¹ also¹⁵⁷¹ were an iniquity⁵⁷⁷¹ to be punished by the judge:⁶⁴¹⁶ for³⁵⁸⁸ I should have denied³⁵⁸⁴ the God⁴¹⁰ that is above.^{4480 4605}

29  If⁵¹⁸ I rejoiced⁸⁰⁵⁵ at the destruction⁶³⁶⁵ of him that hated⁸¹³⁰ me, or lifted up myself⁵⁷⁸² when³⁵⁸⁸ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ found⁴⁶⁷² him:

30  Neither³⁸⁰⁸ have I suffered⁵⁴¹⁴ my mouth²⁴⁴¹ to sin²³⁹⁸ by wishing⁷⁵⁹² a curse⁴²³ to his soul.⁵³¹⁵

31  If⁵¹⁸ the men⁴⁹⁶² of my tabernacle¹⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ not,³⁸⁰⁸ Oh that⁴³¹⁰ we had⁵⁴¹⁴ of his flesh!^{4480 1320} we cannot³⁸⁰⁸ be satisfied.⁷⁶⁴⁶

32  The stranger¹⁶¹⁶ did not³⁸⁰⁸ lodge³⁸⁸⁵ in the street:²³⁵¹ but I opened⁶⁶⁰⁵ my doors¹⁸¹⁷ to the traveler.⁷³⁴

33  If⁵¹⁸ I covered³⁶⁸⁰ my transgressions⁶⁵⁸⁸ as Adam,¹²¹ by hiding²⁹³⁴ mine iniquity⁵⁷⁷¹ in my bosom:²²⁴³

34  Did I fear⁶²⁰⁶ a great⁷²²⁷ multitude,¹⁹⁹⁵ or did the contempt⁹³⁷ of families⁴⁹⁴⁰ terrify²⁸⁶⁵ me, that I kept silence,¹⁸²⁶ and went not out^{3318 3808} of the door?⁶⁶⁰⁷

35  Oh that⁴³¹⁰ one would⁵⁴¹⁴ hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ me! behold,²⁰⁰⁵ my desire⁸⁴²⁰ is, that the Almighty⁷⁷⁰⁶ would answer⁶⁰³⁰ me, and that mine adversary^{376 7379} had written³⁷⁸⁹ a book.⁵⁶¹²

36  Surely⁵¹⁸ I would take⁵³⁷⁵ it upon⁵⁹²¹ my shoulder,⁷⁹²⁶ and bind⁶⁰²⁹ it as a crown⁵⁸⁵⁰ to me.

37  I would declare⁵⁰⁴⁶ unto him the number⁴⁵⁵⁷ of my steps;⁶⁸⁰⁶ as³⁶⁴⁴ a prince⁵⁰⁵⁷ would I go near unto⁷¹²⁶ him.

38  If⁵¹⁸ my land¹²⁷ cry²¹⁹⁹ against⁵⁹²¹ me, or that the furrows⁸⁵²⁵ likewise³¹⁶² thereof complain;¹⁰⁵⁸

39  If⁵¹⁸ I have eaten³⁹⁸ the fruits³⁵⁸¹ thereof without¹⁰⁹⁷ money,³⁷⁰¹ or have caused the owners¹¹⁶⁷ thereof to lose⁵³⁰¹ their life:⁵³¹⁵

40  Let thistles²³³⁶ grow³³¹⁸ instead⁸⁴⁷⁸ of wheat,²⁴⁰⁶ and cockle⁸⁹⁰ instead⁸⁴⁷⁸ of barley.⁸¹⁸⁴ The words¹⁶⁹⁷ of Job³⁴⁷ are ended.⁸⁵⁵²

1 διαθήκην ἐθέμην τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς μου καὶ οὐ συνήσω ἐπὶ παρθένον

2 καὶ τί ἐμέρισεν ὁ θεὸς ἀπάνωθεν καὶ κληρονομία ἱκανοῦ ἐξ ὑψίστων

3 οὐχὶ ἀπώλεια τῷ ἀδίκῳ καὶ ἀπαλλοτρίωσις τοῖς ποιοῦσιν ἀνομίαν

4 οὐχὶ αὐτὸς ὄψεται ὁδόν μου καὶ πάντα τὰ διαβήματά μου ἐξαριθμήσεται

5 εἰ δὲ ἤμην πεπορευμένος μετὰ γελοιαστῶν εἰ δὲ καὶ ἐσπούδασεν ὁ πούς μου εἰς δόλον

6 ἱσταίη με ἄρα ἐν ζυγῷ δικαίῳ οἶδεν δὲ ὁ κύριος τὴν ἀκακίαν μου

7 εἰ ἐξέκλινεν ὁ πούς μου ἐκ τῆς ὁδοῦ εἰ δὲ καὶ τῷ ὀφθαλμῷ ἐπηκολούθησεν ἡ καρδία μου εἰ δὲ καὶ ταῖς χερσίν μου ἡψάμην δώρων

8 σπείραιμι ἄρα καὶ ἄλλοι φάγοισαν ἄρριζος δὲ γενοίμην ἐπὶ γῆς

9 εἰ ἐξηκολούθησεν ἡ καρδία μου γυναικὶ ἀνδρὸς ἑτέρου εἰ καὶ ἐγκάθετος ἐγενόμην ἐπὶ θύραις αὐτῆς

10 ἀρέσαι ἄρα καὶ ἡ γυνή μου ἑτέρῳ τὰ δὲ νήπιά μου ταπεινωθείη

11 θυμὸς γὰρ ὀργῆς ἀκατάσχετος τὸ μιᾶναι ἀνδρὸς γυναῖκα

12 πῦρ γάρ ἐστιν καιόμενον ἐπὶ πάντων τῶν μερῶν οὗ δ᾽ ἂν ἐπέλθῃ ἐκ ῥιζῶν ἀπώλεσεν

13 εἰ δὲ καὶ ἐφαύλισα κρίμα θεράποντός μου ἢ θεραπαίνης κρινομένων αὐτῶν πρός με

14 τί γὰρ ποιήσω ἐὰν ἔτασίν μου ποιήσηται ὁ κύριος ἐὰν δὲ καὶ ἐπισκοπήν τίνα ἀπόκρισιν ποιήσομαι

15 πότερον οὐχ ὡς καὶ ἐγὼ ἐγενόμην ἐν γαστρί καὶ ἐκεῖνοι γεγόνασιν γεγόναμεν δὲ ἐν τῇ αὐτῇ κοιλίᾳ

16 ἀδύνατοι δὲ χρείαν ἥν ποτ᾽ εἶχον οὐκ ἀπέτυχον χήρας δὲ τὸν ὀφθαλμὸν οὐκ ἐξέτηξα

17 εἰ δὲ καὶ τὸν ψωμόν μου ἔφαγον μόνος καὶ οὐχὶ ὀρφανῷ μετέδωκα

18 ὅτι ἐκ νεότητός μου ἐξέτρεφον ὡς πατὴρ καὶ ἐκ γαστρὸς μητρός μου ὡδήγησα

19 εἰ δὲ καὶ ὑπερεῖδον γυμνὸν ἀπολλύμενον καὶ οὐκ ἠμφίασα

20 ἀδύνατοι δὲ εἰ μὴ εὐλόγησάν με ἀπὸ δὲ κουρᾶς ἀμνῶν μου ἐθερμάνθησαν οἱ ὦμοι αὐτῶν

21 εἰ ἐπῆρα ὀρφανῷ χεῖρα πεποιθὼς ὅτι πολλή μοι βοήθεια περίεστιν

22 ἀποσταίη ἄρα ὁ ὦμός μου ἀπὸ τῆς κλειδός ὁ δὲ βραχίων μου ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀγκῶνός μου συντριβείη

23 φόβος γὰρ κυρίου συνέσχεν με καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ λήμματος αὐτοῦ οὐχ ὑποίσω

24 εἰ ἔταξα χρυσίον ἰσχύν μου εἰ δὲ καὶ λίθῳ πολυτελεῖ ἐπεποίθησα

25 εἰ δὲ καὶ εὐφράνθην πολλοῦ πλούτου μοι γενομένου εἰ δὲ καὶ ἐπ᾽ ἀναριθμήτοις ἐθέμην χεῖρά μου

26 ἦ οὐχ ὁρῶ μὲν ἥλιον τὸν ἐπιφαύσκοντα ἐκλείποντα σελήνην δὲ φθίνουσαν οὐ γὰρ ἐπ᾽ αὐτοῖς ἐστιν

27 καὶ εἰ ἠπατήθη λάθρᾳ ἡ καρδία μου εἰ δὲ καὶ χεῖρά μου ἐπιθεὶς ἐπὶ στόματί μου ἐφίλησα

28 καὶ τοῦτό μοι ἄρα ἀνομία ἡ μεγίστη λογισθείη ὅτι ἐψευσάμην ἐναντίον κυρίου τοῦ ὑψίστου

29 εἰ δὲ καὶ ἐπιχαρὴς ἐγενόμην πτώματι ἐχθρῶν μου καὶ εἶπεν ἡ καρδία μου εὖγε

30 ἀκούσαι ἄρα τὸ οὖς μου τὴν κατάραν μου θρυληθείην δὲ ἄρα ὑπὸ λαοῦ μου κακούμενος

31 εἰ δὲ καὶ πολλάκις εἶπον αἱ θεράπαιναί μου τίς ἂν δῴη ἡμῖν τῶν σαρκῶν αὐτοῦ πλησθῆναι λίαν μου χρηστοῦ ὄντος

32 ἔξω δὲ οὐκ ηὐλίζετο ξένος ἡ δὲ θύρα μου παντὶ ἐλθόντι ἀνέῳκτο

33 εἰ δὲ καὶ ἁμαρτὼν ἀκουσίως ἔκρυψα τὴν ἁμαρτίαν μου

34 οὐ γὰρ διετράπην πολυοχλίαν πλήθους τοῦ μὴ ἐξαγορεῦσαι ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν εἰ δὲ καὶ εἴασα ἀδύνατον ἐξελθεῖν θύραν μου κόλπῳ κενῷ

35 τίς δῴη ἀκούοντά μου χεῖρα δὲ κυρίου εἰ μὴ ἐδεδοίκειν συγγραφὴν δέ ἣν εἶχον κατά τινος

36 ἐπ᾽ ὤμοις ἂν περιθέμενος στέφανον ἀνεγίνωσκον

37 καὶ εἰ μὴ ῥήξας αὐτὴν ἀπέδωκα οὐθὲν λαβὼν παρὰ χρεοφειλέτου

38 εἰ ἐπ᾽ ἐμοί ποτε ἡ γῆ ἐστέναξεν εἰ δὲ καὶ οἱ αὔλακες αὐτῆς ἔκλαυσαν ὁμοθυμαδόν

39 εἰ δὲ καὶ τὴν ἰσχὺν αὐτῆς ἔφαγον μόνος ἄνευ τιμῆς εἰ δὲ καὶ ψυχὴν κυρίου τῆς γῆς ἐκβαλὼν ἐλύπησα

40 ἀντὶ πυροῦ ἄρα ἐξέλθοι μοι κνίδη ἀντὶ δὲ κριθῆς βάτος καὶ ἐπαύσατο Ιωβ ῥήμασιν

1 [Pepigi fœdus cum oculis meis,
ut ne cogitarem quidem de virgine.

2 Quam enim partem haberet in me Deus desuper,
et hæreditatem Omnipotens de excelsis?

3 Numquid non perditio est iniquo,
et alienatio operantibus injustitiam?

4 Nonne ipse considerat vias meas,
et cunctos gressus meos dinumerat?

5 Si ambulavi in vanitate,
et festinavit in dolo pes meus,

6 appendat me in statera justa,
et sciat Deus simplicitatem meam.

7 Si declinavit gressus meus de via,
et si secutum est oculos meos cor meum,
et si manibus meis adhæsit macula,

8 seram, et alius comedat,
et progenies mea eradicetur.

9 Si deceptum est cor meum super muliere,
et si ad ostium amici mei insidiatus sum,

10 scortum alterius sit uxor mea,
et super illam incurventur alii.

11 Hoc enim nefas est,
et iniquitas maxima.

12 Ignis est usque ad perditionem devorans,
et omnia eradicans genimina.

13 Si contempsi subire judicium cum servo meo et ancilla mea,
cum disceptarent adversum me:

14 quid enim faciam cum surrexerit ad judicandum Deus?
et cum quæsierit, quid respondebo illi?

15 Numquid non in utero fecit me, qui et illum operatus est,
et formavit me in vulva unus?

16 Si negavi quod volebant pauperibus,
et oculos viduæ expectare feci;

17 si comedi buccellam meam solus,
et non comedit pupillus ex ea

18 (quia ab infantia mea crevit mecum miseratio,
et de utero matris meæ egressa est mecum);

19 si despexi pereuntem, eo quod non habuerit indumentum,
et absque operimento pauperem;

20 si non benedixerunt mihi latera ejus,
et de velleribus ovium mearum calefactus est;

21 si levavi super pupillum manum meam,
etiam cum viderem me in porta superiorem:

22 humerus meus a junctura sua cadat,
et brachium meum cum suis ossibus confringatur.

23 Semper enim quasi tumentes super me fluctus timui Deum,
et pondus ejus ferre non potui.

24 Si putavi aurum robur meum,
et obrizo dixi: Fiducia mea;

25 si lætatus sum super multis divitiis meis,
et quia plurima reperit manus mea;

26 si vidi solem cum fulgeret,
et lunam incedentem clare,

27 et lætatum est in abscondito cor meum,
et osculatus sum manum meam ore meo:

28 quæ est iniquitas maxima,
et negatio contra Deum altissimum.

29 Si gavisus sum ad ruinam ejus qui me oderat,
et exsultavi quod invenisset eum malum:

30 non enim dedi ad peccandum guttur meum,
ut expeterem maledicens animam ejus.

31 Si non dixerunt viri tabernaculi mei:
Quis det de carnibus ejus, ut saturemur?

32 foris non mansit peregrinus:
ostium meum viatori patuit.

33 Si abscondi quasi homo peccatum meum,
et celavi in sinu meo iniquitatem meam;

34 si expavi ad multitudinem nimiam,
et despectio propinquorum terruit me:
et non magis tacui, nec egressus sum ostium.

35 Quis mihi tribuat auditorem,
ut desiderium meum audiat Omnipotens,
et librum scribat ipse qui judicat,

36 ut in humero meo portem illum,
et circumdem illum quasi coronam mihi?

37 Per singulos gradus meos pronuntiabo illum,
et quasi principi offeram eum.

38 Si adversum me terra mea clamat,
et cum ipsa sulci ejus deflent:

39 si fructus ejus comedi absque pecunia,
et animam agricolarum ejus afflixi:

40 pro frumento oriatur mihi tribulus,
et pro hordeo spina.] Finita sunt verba Job.
