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 life2421 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 strait4480 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 not6437 408 413 iniquity:205 for3588 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 enjoined6485 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  Also637 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.]
