Job 34

KJV

1  Furthermore Elihu⁴⁵³ answered⁶⁰³⁰ and said,⁵⁵⁹

2  Hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ my words,⁴⁴⁰⁵ O ye wise²⁴⁵⁰ men; and give ear²³⁸ unto me, ye that have knowledge.³⁰⁴⁵

3  For³⁵⁸⁸ the ear²⁴¹ trieth⁹⁷⁴ words,⁴⁴⁰⁵ as the mouth²⁴⁴¹ tasteth²⁹³⁸ meat.³⁹⁸

4  Let us choose⁹⁷⁷ to us judgment:⁴⁹⁴¹ let us know³⁰⁴⁵ among⁹⁹⁶ ourselves what⁴¹⁰⁰ is good.²⁸⁹⁶

5  For³⁵⁸⁸ Job³⁴⁷ hath said,⁵⁵⁹ I am righteous:⁶⁶⁶³ and God⁴¹⁰ hath taken away⁵⁴⁹³ my judgment.⁴⁹⁴¹

6  Should I lie³⁵⁷⁶ against⁵⁹²¹ my right?⁴⁹⁴¹ my wound²⁶⁷¹ is incurable⁶⁰⁵ without¹⁰⁹⁷ transgression.⁶⁵⁸⁸

7  What⁴³¹⁰ man¹³⁹⁷ is like Job,³⁴⁷ who drinketh up⁸³⁵⁴ scorning³⁹³³ like water?⁴³²⁵

8  Which goeth⁷³² in company²²⁷⁴ with⁵⁹⁷³ the workers⁶⁴⁶⁶ of iniquity,²⁰⁵ and walketh¹⁹⁸⁰ with⁵⁹⁷³ wicked⁷⁵⁶² men.³⁷⁶

9  For³⁵⁸⁸ he hath said,⁵⁵⁹ It profiteth⁵⁵³² a man¹³⁹⁷ nothing³⁸⁰⁸ that he should delight⁷⁵²¹ himself with⁵⁹⁷³ God.⁴³⁰

10  Therefore³⁶⁵¹ hearken⁸⁰⁸⁵ unto me, ye men³⁷⁶ of understanding:³⁸²⁴ far be it²⁴⁸⁶ from God,⁴¹⁰ that he should do wickedness;^{4480 7562} and from the Almighty,⁷⁷⁰⁶ that he should commit iniquity.^{4480 5766}

11  For³⁵⁸⁸ the work⁶⁴⁶⁷ of a man¹²⁰ shall he render⁷⁹⁹⁹ unto him, and cause every man³⁷⁶ to find⁴⁶⁷² according to his ways.⁷³⁴

12  Yea,⁶³⁷ surely⁵⁵¹ God⁴¹⁰ will not³⁸⁰⁸ do wickedly,⁷⁵⁶¹ neither³⁸⁰⁸ will the Almighty⁷⁷⁰⁶ pervert⁵⁷⁹¹ judgment.⁴⁹⁴¹

13  Who⁴³¹⁰ hath given him a charge^{6485 5921} over the earth?⁷⁷⁶ or who⁴³¹⁰ hath disposed⁷⁷⁶⁰ the whole³⁶⁰⁵ world?⁸³⁹⁸

14  If⁵¹⁸ he set⁷⁷⁶⁰ his heart³⁸²⁰ upon⁴¹³ man, if he gather⁶²² unto⁴¹³ himself his spirit⁷³⁰⁷ and his breath;⁵³⁹⁷

15  All³⁶⁰⁵ flesh¹³²⁰ shall perish¹⁴⁷⁸ together,³¹⁶² and man¹²⁰ shall turn again⁷⁷²⁵ unto⁵⁹²¹ dust.⁶⁰⁸³

16  If⁵¹⁸ now thou hast understanding,⁹⁹⁸ hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ this:²⁰⁶³ hearken²³⁸ to the voice⁶⁹⁶³ of my words.⁴⁴⁰⁵

17  Shall even⁶³⁷ he that hateth⁸¹³⁰ right⁴⁹⁴¹ govern?²²⁸⁰ and wilt thou condemn⁷⁵⁶¹ him that is most³⁵²⁴ just?⁶⁶⁶²

18  Is it fit to say⁵⁵⁹ to a king,⁴⁴²⁸ Thou art wicked?¹¹⁰⁰ and to⁴¹³ princes,⁵⁰⁸¹ Ye are ungodly?⁷⁵⁶³

19  How much less to him that⁸³⁴ accepteth⁵³⁷⁵ not³⁸⁰⁸ the persons⁶⁴⁴⁰ of princes,⁸²⁶⁹ nor³⁸⁰⁸ regardeth⁵²³⁴ the rich⁷⁷⁷¹ more than⁶⁴⁴⁰ the poor?¹⁸⁰⁰ for³⁵⁸⁸ they all³⁶⁰⁵ are the work⁴⁶³⁹ of his hands.³⁰²⁷

20  In a moment⁷²⁸¹ shall they die,⁴¹⁹¹ and the people⁵⁹⁷¹ shall be troubled¹⁶⁰⁷ at midnight,^{2676 3915} and pass away:⁵⁶⁷⁴ and the mighty⁴⁷ shall be taken away⁵⁴⁹³ without³⁸⁰⁸ hand.³⁰²⁷

21  For³⁵⁸⁸ his eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ are upon⁵⁹²¹ the ways¹⁸⁷⁰ of man,³⁷⁶ and he seeth⁷²⁰⁰ all³⁶⁰⁵ his goings.⁶⁸⁰⁶

22  There is no³⁶⁹ darkness,²⁸²² nor³⁶⁹ shadow of death,⁶⁷⁵⁷ where⁸⁰³³ the workers⁶⁴⁶⁶ of iniquity²⁰⁵ may hide themselves.⁵⁶⁴¹

23  For³⁵⁸⁸ he will not³⁸⁰⁸ lay⁷⁷⁶⁰ upon⁵⁹²¹ man³⁷⁶ more⁵⁷⁵⁰ than right; that he should enter¹⁹⁸⁰ into judgment⁴⁹⁴¹ with⁴¹³ God.⁴¹⁰

24  He shall break in pieces⁷⁴⁸⁹ mighty men³⁵²⁴ without³⁸⁰⁸ number,²⁷¹⁴ and set⁵⁹⁷⁵ others³¹² in their stead.⁸⁴⁷⁸

25  Therefore³⁶⁵¹ he knoweth⁵²³⁴ their works,⁴⁵⁶⁶ and he overturneth²⁰¹⁵ them in the night,³⁹¹⁵ so that they are destroyed.¹⁷⁹²

26  He striketh⁵⁶⁰⁶ them as⁸⁴⁷⁸ wicked men⁷⁵⁶³ in the open⁴⁷²⁵ sight⁷²⁰⁰ of others;

27  Because^{834 3651 5921} they turned back⁵⁴⁹³ from^{4480 310} him, and would not³⁸⁰⁸ consider⁷⁹¹⁹ any³⁶⁰⁵ of his ways:¹⁸⁷⁰

28  So that they cause the cry⁶⁸¹⁸ of the poor¹⁸⁰⁰ to come⁹³⁵ unto⁵⁹²¹ him, and he heareth⁸⁰⁸⁵ the cry⁶⁸¹⁸ of the afflicted.⁶⁰⁴¹

29  When he¹⁹³¹ giveth quietness,⁸²⁵² who⁴³¹⁰ then can make trouble?⁷⁵⁶¹ and when he hideth⁵⁶⁴¹ his face,⁶⁴⁴⁰ who⁴³¹⁰ then can behold⁷⁷⁸⁹ him? whether it be done against⁵⁹²¹ a nation,¹⁴⁷¹ or against⁵⁹²¹ a man¹²⁰ only:³¹⁶²

30  That the hypocrite^{120 2611} reign not,^{4480 4427} lest the people⁵⁹⁷¹ be ensnared.^{4480 4170}

31  Surely it is meet³⁵⁸⁸ to be said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ God,⁴¹⁰ I have borne⁵³⁷⁵ chastisement, I will not³⁸⁰⁸ offend²²⁵⁴ any more:

32  That which I see²³⁷² not¹¹⁰⁷ teach³³⁸⁴ thou⁸⁵⁹ me: if⁵¹⁸ I have done⁶⁴⁶⁶ iniquity,⁵⁷⁶⁶ I will do³²⁵⁴ no³⁸⁰⁸ more.

33  Should it be according to thy mind?^{4480 5973} he will recompense⁷⁹⁹⁹ it, whether³⁵⁸⁸ thou refuse,³⁹⁸⁸ or whether³⁵⁸⁸ thou⁸⁵⁹ choose;⁹⁷⁷ and not³⁸⁰⁸ I:⁵⁸⁹ therefore speak¹⁶⁹⁶ what⁴¹⁰⁰ thou knowest.³⁰⁴⁵

34  Let men³⁷⁶ of understanding³⁸²⁴ tell⁵⁵⁹ me, and let a wise²⁴⁵⁰ man¹³⁹⁷ hearken⁸⁰⁸⁵ unto me.

35  Job³⁴⁷ hath spoken¹⁶⁹⁶ without³⁸⁰⁸ knowledge,¹⁸⁴⁷ and his words¹⁶⁹⁷ were without³⁸⁰⁸ wisdom.⁷⁹¹⁹

36  My desire¹⁵ is that Job³⁴⁷ may be tried⁹⁷⁴ unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ the end⁵³³¹ because⁵⁹²¹ of his answers⁸⁶⁶⁶ for wicked²⁰⁵ men.³⁷⁶

37  For³⁵⁸⁸ he addeth³²⁵⁴ rebellion⁶⁵⁸⁸ unto⁵⁹²¹ his sin,²⁴⁰³ he clappeth⁵⁶⁰⁶ his hands among⁹⁹⁶ us, and multiplieth⁷²³⁵ his words⁵⁶¹ against God.⁴¹⁰

1 ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Ελιους λέγει

2 ἀκούσατέ μου σοφοί ἐπιστάμενοι ἐνωτίζεσθε τὸ καλόν

3 ὅτι οὖς λόγους δοκιμάζει καὶ λάρυγξ γεύεται βρῶσιν

4 κρίσιν ἑλώμεθα ἑαυτοῖς γνῶμεν ἀνὰ μέσον ἑαυτῶν ὅ τι καλόν

5 ὅτι εἴρηκεν Ιωβ δίκαιός εἰμι ὁ κύριος ἀπήλλαξέν μου τὸ κρίμα

6 ἐψεύσατο δὲ τῷ κρίματί μου βίαιον τὸ βέλος μου ἄνευ ἀδικίας

7 τίς ἀνὴρ ὥσπερ Ιωβ πίνων μυκτηρισμὸν ὥσπερ ὕδωρ

8 οὐχ ἁμαρτὼν οὐδὲ ἀσεβήσας ἢ ὁδοῦ κοινωνήσας μετὰ ποιούντων τὰ ἄνομα τοῦ πορευθῆναι μετὰ ἀσεβῶν

9 μὴ γὰρ εἴπῃς ὅτι οὐκ ἔσται ἐπισκοπὴ ἀνδρός καὶ ἐπισκοπὴ αὐτῷ παρὰ κυρίου

10 διό συνετοὶ καρδίας ἀκούσατέ μου μή μοι εἴη ἔναντι κυρίου ἀσεβῆσαι καὶ ἔναντι παντοκράτορος ταράξαι τὸ δίκαιον

11 ἀλλὰ ἀποδιδοῖ ἀνθρώπῳ καθὰ ποιεῖ ἕκαστος αὐτῶν καὶ ἐν τρίβῳ ἀνδρὸς εὑρήσει αὐτόν

12 οἴῃ δὲ τὸν κύριον ἄτοπα ποιήσειν ἢ ὁ παντοκράτωρ ταράξει κρίσιν

13 ὃς ἐποίησεν τὴν γῆν τίς δέ ἐστιν ὁ ποιῶν τὴν ὑπ᾽ οὐρανὸν καὶ τὰ ἐνόντα πάντα

14 εἰ γὰρ βούλοιτο συνέχειν καὶ τὸ πνεῦμα παρ᾽ αὐτῷ κατασχεῖν

15 τελευτήσει πᾶσα σὰρξ ὁμοθυμαδόν πᾶς δὲ βροτὸς εἰς γῆν ἀπελεύσεται ὅθεν καὶ ἐπλάσθη

16 εἰ δὲ μὴ νουθετῇ ἄκουε ταῦτα ἐνωτίζου φωνὴν ῥημάτων

17 ἰδὲ σὺ τὸν μισοῦντα ἄνομα καὶ τὸν ὀλλύντα τοὺς πονηροὺς ὄντα αἰώνιον δίκαιον

18 ἀσεβὴς ὁ λέγων βασιλεῖ παρανομεῖς ἀσεβέστατε τοῖς ἄρχουσιν

19 ὃς οὐκ ἐπῃσχύνθη πρόσωπον ἐντίμου οὐδὲ οἶδεν τιμὴν θέσθαι ἁδροῖς θαυμασθῆναι πρόσωπα αὐτῶν

20 κενὰ δὲ αὐτοῖς ἀποβήσεται τὸ κεκραγέναι καὶ δεῖσθαι ἀνδρός ἐχρήσαντο γὰρ παρανόμως ἐκκλινομένων ἀδυνάτων

21 αὐτὸς γὰρ ὁρατής ἐστιν ἔργων ἀνθρώπων λέληθεν δὲ αὐτὸν οὐδὲν ὧν πράσσουσιν

22 οὐδὲ ἔσται τόπος τοῦ κρυβῆναι τοὺς ποιοῦντας τὰ ἄνομα

23 ὅτι οὐκ ἐπ᾽ ἄνδρα θήσει ἔτι ὁ γὰρ κύριος πάντας ἐφορᾷ

24 ὁ καταλαμβάνων ἀνεξιχνίαστα ἔνδοξά τε καὶ ἐξαίσια ὧν οὐκ ἔστιν ἀριθμός

25 ὁ γνωρίζων αὐτῶν τὰ ἔργα καὶ στρέψει νύκτα καὶ ταπεινωθήσονται

26 ἔσβεσεν δὲ ἀσεβεῖς ὁρατοὶ δὲ ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ

27 ὅτι ἐξέκλιναν ἐκ νόμου θεοῦ δικαιώματα δὲ αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐπέγνωσαν

28 τοῦ ἐπαγαγεῖν ἐπ᾽ αὐτὸν κραυγὴν πένητος καὶ κραυγὴν πτωχῶν εἰσακούσεται

29 καὶ αὐτὸς ἡσυχίαν παρέξει καὶ τίς καταδικάσεται καὶ κρύψει πρόσωπον καὶ τίς ὄψεται αὐτόν καὶ κατὰ ἔθνους καὶ κατὰ ἀνθρώπου ὁμοῦ

30 βασιλεύων ἄνθρωπον ὑποκριτὴν ἀπὸ δυσκολίας λαοῦ

31 ὅτι πρὸς τὸν ἰσχυρὸν ὁ λέγων εἴληφα οὐκ ἐνεχυράσω

32 ἄνευ ἐμαυτοῦ ὄψομαι σὺ δεῖξόν μοι εἰ ἀδικίαν ἠργασάμην οὐ μὴ προσθήσω

33 μὴ παρὰ σοῦ ἀποτείσει αὐτήν ὅτι ἀπώσῃ ὅτι σὺ ἐκλέξῃ καὶ οὐκ ἐγώ καὶ τί ἔγνως λάλησον

34 διὸ συνετοὶ καρδίας ἐροῦσιν ταῦτα ἀνὴρ δὲ σοφὸς ἀκήκοέν μου τὸ ῥῆμα

35 Ιωβ δὲ οὐκ ἐν συνέσει ἐλάλησεν τὰ δὲ ῥήματα αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐν ἐπιστήμῃ

36 οὐ μὴν δὲ ἀλλὰ μάθε Ιωβ μὴ δῷς ἔτι ἀνταπόκρισιν ὥσπερ οἱ ἄφρονες

37 ἵνα μὴ προσθῶμεν ἐφ᾽ ἁμαρτίαις ἡμῶν ἀνομία δὲ ἐφ᾽ ἡμῖν λογισθήσεται πολλὰ λαλούντων ῥήματα ἐναντίον τοῦ κυρίου

Vul

1 Pronuntians itaque Eliu, etiam hæc locutus est:

2 [Audite, sapientes, verba mea:
et eruditi, auscultate me.

3 Auris enim verba probat,
et guttur escas gustu dijudicat.

4 Judicium eligamus nobis,
et inter nos videamus quid sit melius.

5 Quia dixit Job: Justus sum,
et Deus subvertit judicium meum.

6 In judicando enim me mendacium est:
violenta sagitta mea absque ullo peccato.

7 Quis est vir ut est Job,
qui bibit subsannationem quasi aquam:

8 qui graditur cum operantibus iniquitatem,
et ambulat cum viris impiis?

9 Dixit enim: Non placebit vir Deo,
etiam si cucurrerit cum eo.

10 Ideo, viri cordati, audite me:
absit a Deo impietas,
et ab Omnipotente iniquitas.

11 Opus enim hominis reddet ei,
et juxta vias singulorum restituet eis.

12 Vere enim Deus non condemnabit frustra,
nec Omnipotens subvertet judicium.

13 Quem constituit alium super terram?
aut quem posuit super orbem quem fabricatus est?

14 Si direxerit ad eum cor suum,
spiritum illius et flatum ad se trahet.

15 Deficiet omnis caro simul,
et homo in cinerem revertetur.

16 Si habes ergo intellectum, audi quod dicitur,
et ausculta vocem eloquii mei:

17 numquid qui non amat judicium sanari potest?
et quomodo tu eum qui justus est in tantum condemnas?

18 Qui dicit regi: Apostata;
qui vocat duces impios;

19 qui non accipit personas principum,
nec cognovit tyrannum cum disceptaret contra pauperem:
opus enim manuum ejus sunt universi.

20 Subito morientur, et in media nocte turbabuntur populi:
et pertransibunt, et auferent violentum absque manu.

21 Oculi enim ejus super vias hominum,
et omnes gressus eorum considerat.

22 Non sunt tenebræ, et non est umbra mortis,
ut abscondantur ibi qui operantur iniquitatem,

23 neque enim ultra in hominis potestate est,
ut veniat ad Deum in judicium.

24 Conteret multos, et innumerabiles,
et stare faciet alios pro eis.

25 Novit enim opera eorum,
et idcirco inducet noctem, et conterentur.

26 Quasi impios percussit eos
in loco videntium:

27 qui quasi de industria recesserunt ab eo,
et omnes vias ejus intelligere noluerunt:

28 ut pervenire facerent ad eum clamorem egeni,
et audiret vocem pauperum.

29 Ipso enim concedente pacem, quis est qui condemnet?
ex quo absconderit vultum, quis est qui contempletur eum,
et super gentes, et super omnes homines?

30 Qui regnare facit hominem hypocritam
propter peccata populi.

31 Quia ergo ego locutus sum ad Deum,
te quoque non prohibebo.

32 Si erravi, tu doce me;
si iniquitatem locutus sum, ultra non addam.

33 Numquid a te Deus expetit eam, quia displicuit tibi?
tu enim cœpisti loqui, et non ego:
quod si quid nosti melius, loquere.

34 Viri intelligentes loquantur mihi,
et vir sapiens audiat me.

35 Job autem stulte locutus est,
et verba illius non sonant disciplinam.

36 Pater mi, probetur Job usque ad finem:
ne desinas ab homine iniquitatis:

37 quia addit super peccata sua blasphemiam,
inter nos interim constringatur:
et tunc ad judicium provocet sermonibus suis Deum.]
