Job 36

KJV

1  Elihu⁴⁵³ also proceeded,³²⁵⁴ and said,⁵⁵⁹

2  Suffer³⁸⁰³ me a little,²¹⁹¹ and I will show²³³¹ thee that³⁵⁸⁸ I have yet⁵⁷⁵⁰ to speak⁴⁴⁰⁵ on God's⁴³³ behalf.

3  I will fetch⁵³⁷⁵ my knowledge¹⁸⁴³ from afar,^{4480 7350} and will ascribe⁵⁴¹⁴ righteousness⁶⁶⁶⁴ to my Maker.⁶⁴⁶⁶

4  For³⁵⁸⁸ truly⁵⁵¹ my words⁴⁴⁰⁵ shall not³⁸⁰⁸ be false:⁸²⁶⁷ he that is perfect⁸⁵⁴⁹ in knowledge¹⁸⁴⁴ is with⁵⁹⁷³ thee.

5  Behold,²⁰⁰⁵ God⁴¹⁰ is mighty,³⁵²⁴ and despiseth³⁹⁸⁸ not³⁸⁰⁸ any: he is mighty³⁵²⁴ in strength³⁵⁸¹ and wisdom.³⁸²⁰

6  He preserveth not the life^{2421 3808} of the wicked:⁷⁵⁶³ but giveth⁵⁴¹⁴ right⁴⁹⁴¹ to the poor.⁶⁰⁴¹

7  He withdraweth¹⁶³⁹ not³⁸⁰⁸ his eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ from the righteous:^{4480 6662} but with⁸⁵⁴ kings⁴⁴²⁸ are they on the throne;³⁶⁷⁸ yea, he doth establish³⁴²⁷ them forever,⁵³³¹ and they are exalted.¹³⁶¹

8  And if⁵¹⁸ they be bound⁶³¹ in fetters,²¹³¹ and be holden³⁹²⁰ in cords²²⁵⁶ of affliction;⁶⁰⁴⁰

9  Then he showeth⁵⁰⁴⁶ them their work,⁶⁴⁶⁷ and their transgressions⁶⁵⁸⁸ that³⁵⁸⁸ they have exceeded.¹³⁹⁶

10  He openeth¹⁵⁴⁰ also their ear²⁴¹ to discipline,⁴¹⁴⁸ and commandeth⁵⁵⁹ that³⁵⁸⁸ they return⁷⁷²⁵ from iniquity.^{4480 205}

11  If⁵¹⁸ they obey⁸⁰⁸⁵ and serve⁵⁶⁴⁷ him, they shall spend³⁶¹⁵ their days³¹¹⁷ in prosperity,²⁸⁹⁶ and their years⁸¹⁴¹ in pleasures.⁵²⁷³

12  But if⁵¹⁸ they obey⁸⁰⁸⁵ not,³⁸⁰⁸ they shall perish⁵⁶⁷⁴ by the sword,⁷⁹⁷³ and they shall die¹⁴⁷⁸ without¹⁰⁹⁷ knowledge.¹⁸⁴⁷

13  But the hypocrites²⁶¹¹ in heart³⁸²⁰ heap up⁷⁷⁶⁰ wrath:⁶³⁹ they cry⁷⁷⁶⁸ not³⁸⁰⁸ when³⁵⁸⁸ he bindeth⁶³¹ them.

14  They⁵³¹⁵ die⁴¹⁹¹ in youth,⁵²⁹⁰ and their life²⁴¹⁶ is among the unclean.⁶⁹⁴⁵

15  He delivereth²⁵⁰² the poor⁶⁰⁴¹ in his affliction,⁶⁰⁴⁰ and openeth¹⁵⁴⁰ their ears²⁴¹ in oppression.³⁹⁰⁶

16  Even so⁶³⁷ would he have removed⁵⁴⁹⁶ thee out of the strait^{4480 6310 6862} into a broad place,⁷³³⁸ where⁸⁴⁷⁸ there is no³⁸⁰⁸ straitness;⁴¹⁶⁴ and that which should be set⁵¹⁸³ on thy table⁷⁹⁷⁹ should be full⁴³⁹⁰ of fatness.¹⁸⁸⁰

17  But thou hast fulfilled⁴³⁹⁰ the judgment¹⁷⁷⁹ of the wicked:⁷⁵⁶³ judgment¹⁷⁷⁹ and justice⁴⁹⁴¹ take hold⁸⁵⁵¹ on thee.

18  Because³⁵⁸⁸ there is wrath,²⁵³⁴ beware lest⁶⁴³⁵ he take thee away⁵⁴⁹⁶ with his stroke:⁵⁶⁰⁷ then a great⁷²²⁷ ransom³⁷²⁴ cannot⁴⁰⁸ deliver⁵¹⁸⁶ thee.

19  Will he esteem⁶¹⁸⁶ thy riches?⁷⁷⁶⁹ no, not³⁸⁰⁸ gold,¹²²² nor all³⁶⁰⁵ the forces³⁹⁸¹ of strength.³⁵⁸¹

20  Desire⁷⁶⁰² not⁴⁰⁸ the night,³⁹¹⁵ when people⁵⁹⁷¹ are cut off⁵⁹²⁷ in their place.⁸⁴⁷⁸

21  Take heed,⁸¹⁰⁴ regard not^{6437 408 413} iniquity:²⁰⁵ for^{3588 5921} this²⁰⁸⁸ hast thou chosen⁹⁷⁷ rather than affliction.^{4480 6040}

22  Behold,²⁰⁰⁵ God⁴¹⁰ exalteth⁷⁶⁸² by his power:³⁵⁸¹ who⁴³¹⁰ teacheth³³⁸⁴ like him?³⁶⁴⁴

23  Who⁴³¹⁰ hath enjoined^{6485 5921} him his way?¹⁸⁷⁰ or who⁴³¹⁰ can say,⁵⁵⁹ Thou hast wrought⁶⁴⁶⁶ iniquity?⁵⁷⁶⁶

24  Remember²¹⁴² that³⁵⁸⁸ thou magnify⁷⁶⁷⁹ his work,⁶⁴⁶⁷ which⁸³⁴ men³⁷⁶ behold.⁷⁷⁸⁹

25  Every³⁶⁰⁵ man¹²⁰ may see²³⁷² it; man⁵⁸² may behold⁵⁰²⁷ it afar off.^{4480 7350}

26  Behold,²⁰⁰⁵ God⁴¹⁰ is great,⁷⁶⁸⁹ and we know³⁰⁴⁵ him not³⁸⁰⁸ neither³⁸⁰⁸ can the number⁴⁵⁵⁷ of his years⁸¹⁴¹ be searched out.²⁷¹⁴

27  For³⁵⁸⁸ he maketh small¹⁶³⁹ the drops⁵¹⁹⁸ of water:⁴³²⁵ they pour down²²¹² rain⁴³⁰⁶ according to the vapor¹⁰⁸ thereof:

28  Which⁸³⁴ the clouds⁷⁸³⁴ do drop⁵¹⁴⁰ and distill⁷⁴⁹¹ upon⁵⁹²¹ man¹²⁰ abundantly.⁷²²⁷

29  Also^{637 518} can any understand⁹⁹⁵ the spreadings⁴⁶⁶⁶ of the clouds,⁵⁶⁴⁵ or the noise⁸⁶⁶³ of his tabernacle?⁵⁵²¹

30  Behold,²⁰⁰⁵ he spreadeth⁶⁵⁶⁶ his light²¹⁶ upon⁵⁹²¹ it, and covereth³⁶⁸⁰ the bottom⁸³²⁸ of the sea.³²²⁰

31  For³⁵⁸⁸ by them judgeth¹⁷⁷⁷ he the people;⁵⁹⁷¹ he giveth⁵⁴¹⁴ meat⁴⁰⁰ in abundance.⁴³⁴²

32  With⁵⁹²¹ clouds³⁷⁰⁹ he covereth³⁶⁸⁰ the light;²¹⁶ and commandeth⁶⁶⁸⁰ it not to shine by⁵⁹²¹ the cloud that cometh between.⁶²⁹³

33  The noise⁷⁴⁵² thereof showeth⁵⁰⁴⁶ concerning⁵⁹²¹ it, the cattle⁴⁷³⁵ also⁶³⁷ concerning⁵⁹²¹ the vapor.⁵⁹²⁷

1 προσθεὶς δὲ Ελιους ἔτι λέγει

2 μεῖνόν με μικρὸν ἔτι ἵνα διδάξω σε ἔτι γὰρ ἐν ἐμοί ἐστιν λέξις

3 ἀναλαβὼν τὴν ἐπιστήμην μου μακρὰν ἔργοις δέ μου δίκαια ἐρῶ

4 ἐπ᾽ ἀληθείας καὶ οὐκ ἄδικα ῥήματα ἀδίκως συνίεις

5 γίγνωσκε δὲ ὅτι ὁ κύριος οὐ μὴ ἀποποιήσηται τὸν ἄκακον δυνατὸς ἰσχύι καρδίας

6 ἀσεβῆ οὐ μὴ ζωοποιήσει καὶ κρίμα πτωχῶν δώσει

7 οὐκ ἀφελεῖ ἀπὸ δικαίου ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ μετὰ βασιλέων εἰς θρόνον καὶ καθιεῖ αὐτοὺς εἰς νεῖκος καὶ ὑψωθήσονται

8 καὶ εἰ πεπεδημένοι ἐν χειροπέδαις συσχεθήσονται ἐν σχοινίοις πενίας

9 καὶ ἀναγγελεῖ αὐτοῖς τὰ ἔργα αὐτῶν καὶ τὰ παραπτώματα αὐτῶν ὅτι ἰσχύσουσιν

10 ἀλλὰ τοῦ δικαίου εἰσακούσεται καὶ εἶπεν ὅτι ἐπιστραφήσονται ἐξ ἀδικίας

11 ἐὰν ἀκούσωσιν καὶ δουλεύσωσιν συντελέσουσιν τὰς ἡμέρας αὐτῶν ἐν ἀγαθοῖς καὶ τὰ ἔτη αὐτῶν ἐν εὐπρεπείαις

12 ἀσεβεῖς δὲ οὐ διασῴζει παρὰ τὸ μὴ βούλεσθαι εἰδέναι αὐτοὺς τὸν κύριον καὶ διότι νουθετούμενοι ἀνήκοοι ἦσαν

13 καὶ ὑποκριταὶ καρδίᾳ τάξουσιν θυμόν οὐ βοήσονται ὅτι ἔδησεν αὐτούς

14 ἀποθάνοι τοίνυν ἐν νεότητι ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτῶν ἡ δὲ ζωὴ αὐτῶν τιτρωσκομένη ὑπὸ ἀγγέλων

15 ἀνθ᾽ ὧν ἔθλιψαν ἀσθενῆ καὶ ἀδύνατον κρίμα δὲ πραέων ἐκθήσει

16 καὶ προσέτι ἠπάτησέν σε ἐκ στόματος ἐχθροῦ ἄβυσσος κατάχυσις ὑποκάτω αὐτῆς καὶ κατέβη τράπεζά σου πλήρης πιότητος

17 οὐχ ὑστερήσει δὲ ἀπὸ δικαίων κρίμα

18 θυμὸς δὲ ἐπ᾽ ἀσεβεῖς ἔσται δι᾽ ἀσέβειαν δώρων ὧν ἐδέχοντο ἐπ᾽ ἀδικίαις

19 μή σε ἐκκλινάτω ἑκὼν ὁ νοῦς δεήσεως ἐν ἀνάγκῃ ὄντων ἀδυνάτων καὶ πάντας τοὺς κραταιοῦντας ἰσχύν

20 μὴ ἐξελκύσῃς τὴν νύκτα τοῦ ἀναβῆναι λαοὺς ἀντ᾽ αὐτῶν

21 ἀλλὰ φύλαξαι μὴ πράξῃς ἄτοπα ἐπὶ τοῦτον γὰρ ἐξείλω ἀπὸ πτωχείας

22 ἰδοὺ ὁ ἰσχυρὸς κραταιώσει ἐν ἰσχύι αὐτοῦ τίς γάρ ἐστιν κατ᾽ αὐτὸν δυνάστης

23 τίς δέ ἐστιν ὁ ἐτάζων αὐτοῦ τὰ ἔργα ἢ τίς ὁ εἴπας ἔπραξεν ἄδικα

24 μνήσθητι ὅτι μεγάλα ἐστὶν αὐτοῦ τὰ ἔργα ὧν ἦρξαν ἄνδρες

25 πᾶς ἄνθρωπος εἶδεν ἐν ἑαυτῷ ὅσοι τιτρωσκόμενοί εἰσιν βροτοί

26 ἰδοὺ ὁ ἰσχυρὸς πολύς καὶ οὐ γνωσόμεθα ἀριθμὸς ἐτῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀπέραντος

27 ἀριθμηταὶ δὲ αὐτῷ σταγόνες ὑετοῦ καὶ ἐπιχυθήσονται ὑετῷ εἰς νεφέλην

28 ῥυήσονται παλαιώματα ἐσκίασεν δὲ νέφη ἐπὶ ἀμυθήτων βροτῶν
ὥραν ἔθετο κτήνεσιν οἴδασιν δὲ κοίτης τάξιν
ἐπὶ τούτοις πᾶσιν οὐκ ἐξίσταταί σου ἡ διάνοια οὐδὲ διαλλάσσεταί σου ἡ καρδία ἀπὸ σώματος

29 καὶ ἐὰν συνῇ ἀπεκτάσεις νεφέλης ἰσότητα σκηνῆς αὐτοῦ

30 ἰδοὺ ἐκτείνει ἐπ᾽ αὐτὸν ηδω καὶ ῥιζώματα τῆς θαλάσσης ἐκάλυψεν

31 ἐν γὰρ αὐτοῖς κρινεῖ λαούς δώσει τροφὴν τῷ ἰσχύοντι

32 ἐπὶ χειρῶν ἐκάλυψεν φῶς καὶ ἐνετείλατο περὶ αὐτῆς ἐν ἀπαντῶντι

33 ἀναγγελεῖ περὶ αὐτοῦ φίλον αὐτοῦ κτῆσις καὶ περὶ ἀδικίας

Vul

1 Addens quoque Eliu, hæc locutus est:

2 [Sustine me paululum, et indicabo tibi:
adhuc enim habeo quod pro Deo loquar.

3 Repetam scientiam meam a principio,
et operatorem meum probabo justum.

4 Vere enim absque mendacio sermones mei,
et perfecta scientia probabitur tibi.

5 Deus potentes non abjicit,
cum et ipse sit potens:

6 sed non salvat impios,
et judicium pauperibus tribuit.

7 Non auferet a justo oculos suos:
et reges in solio collocat in perpetuum,
et illi eriguntur.

8 Et si fuerint in catenis,
et vinciantur funibus paupertatis,

9 indicabit eis opera eorum,
et scelera eorum, quia violenti fuerunt.

10 Revelabit quoque aurem eorum, ut corripiat:
et loquetur, ut revertantur ab iniquitate.

11 Si audierint et observaverint, complebunt dies suos in bono,
et annos suos in gloria:

12 si autem non audierint,
transibunt per gladium,
et consumentur in stultitia.

13 Simulatores et callidi provocant iram Dei,
neque clamabunt cum vincti fuerint.

14 Morietur in tempestate anima eorum,
et vita eorum inter effeminatos.

15 Eripiet de angustia sua pauperem,
et revelabit in tribulatione aurem ejus.

16 Igitur salvabit te de ore angusto latissime,
et non habente fundamentum subter se:
requies autem mensæ tuæ erit plena pinguedine.

17 Causa tua quasi impii judicata est:
causam judiciumque recipies.

18 Non te ergo superet ira ut aliquem opprimas:
nec multitudo donorum inclinet te.

19 Depone magnitudinem tuam absque tribulatione,
et omnes robustos fortitudine.

20 Ne protrahas noctem,
ut ascendant populi pro eis.

21 Cave ne declines ad iniquitatem:
hanc enim cœpisti sequi post miseriam.

22 Ecce Deus excelsus in fortitudine sua,
et nullus ei similis in legislatoribus.

23 Quis poterit scrutari vias ejus?
aut quis potest ei dicere: Operatus es iniquitatem?

24 Memento quod ignores opus ejus,
de quo cecinerunt viri.

25 Omnes homines vident eum:
unusquisque intuetur procul.

26 Ecce Deus magnus vincens scientiam nostram:
numerus annorum ejus inæstimabilis.

27 Qui aufert stillas pluviæ,
et effundit imbres ad instar gurgitum,

28 qui de nubibus fluunt
quæ prætexunt cuncta desuper.

29 Si voluerit extendere nubes quasi tentorium suum,

30 et fulgurare lumine suo desuper,
cardines quoque maris operiet.

31 Per hæc enim judicat populos,
et dat escas multis mortalibus.

32 In manibus abscondit lucem,
et præcepit ei ut rursus adveniat.

33 Annuntiat de ea amico suo, quod possessio ejus sit,
et ad eam possit ascendere.]
