KJV

1  Again there was¹⁹⁶¹ a day³¹¹⁷ when the sons¹¹²¹ of God⁴³⁰ came⁹³⁵ to present themselves³³²⁰ before⁵⁹²¹ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and Satan⁷⁸⁵⁴ came⁹³⁵ also¹⁵⁷¹ among⁸⁴³² them to present himself³³²⁰ before⁵⁹²¹ the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

2  And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Satan,⁷⁸⁵⁴ From whence^{335 4480 2088} comest⁹³⁵ thou? And Satan⁷⁸⁵⁴ answered^{6030 853} the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and said,⁵⁵⁹ From going to and fro^{4480 7751} in the earth,⁷⁷⁶ and from walking up and down^{4480 1980} in it.

3  And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Satan,⁷⁸⁵⁴ Hast thou considered^{7760 3820 413} my servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ Job,³⁴⁷ that³⁵⁸⁸ there is none³⁶⁹ like him³⁶⁴⁴ in the earth,⁷⁷⁶ a perfect⁸⁵³⁵ and an upright³⁴⁷⁷ man,³⁷⁶ one that feareth³³⁷³ God,⁴³⁰ and escheweth⁵⁴⁹³ evil?^{4480 7451} and still⁵⁷⁵⁰ he holdeth fast²³⁸⁸ his integrity,⁸⁵³⁸ although thou movedst⁵⁴⁹⁶ me against him, to destroy¹¹⁰⁴ him without cause.²⁶⁰⁰

4  And Satan⁷⁸⁵⁴ answered^{6030 853} the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Skin for skin,^{5785 1157 5785} yea, all³⁶⁰⁵ that⁸³⁴ a man³⁷⁶ hath will he give⁵⁴¹⁴ for¹¹⁵⁷ his life.⁵³¹⁵

5  But¹⁹⁹ put forth⁷⁹⁷¹ thine hand³⁰²⁷ now,⁴⁹⁹⁴ and touch^{5060 413} his bone⁶¹⁰⁶ and his flesh,¹³²⁰ and⁵¹⁸ he will curse¹²⁸⁸ thee to⁴¹³ thy face.⁶⁴⁴⁰

6  And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Satan,⁷⁸⁵⁴ Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ he is in thine hand;³⁰²⁷ but³⁸⁹ save^{8104 853} his life.⁵³¹⁵

7  So went Satan forth^{3318 7854} from^{4480 854} the presence⁶⁴⁴⁰ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and smote^{5221 853} Job³⁴⁷ with sore⁷⁴⁵¹ boils⁷⁸²² from the sole^{4480 3709} of his foot⁷²⁷² unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ his crown.⁶⁹³⁶

8  And he took³⁹⁴⁷ him a potsherd²⁷⁸⁹ to scrape himself¹⁶²³ withal; and he¹⁹³¹ sat down³⁴²⁷ among⁸⁴³² the ashes.⁶⁶⁵

9  Then said⁵⁵⁹ his wife⁸⁰² unto him, Dost thou still⁵⁷⁵⁰ retain²³⁸⁸ thine integrity?⁸⁵³⁸ curse¹²⁸⁸ God,⁴³⁰ and die.⁴¹⁹¹

10  But he said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ her, Thou speakest¹⁶⁹⁶ as one²⁵⁹ of the foolish women⁵⁰³⁶ speaketh.¹⁶⁹⁶ What?¹⁵⁷¹ shall we receive^{6901 853} good²⁸⁹⁶ at the hand^{4480 854} of God,⁴³⁰ and shall we not³⁸⁰⁸ receive⁶⁹⁰¹ evil?⁷⁴⁵¹ In all³⁶⁰⁵ this²⁰⁶³ did not³⁸⁰⁸ Job³⁴⁷ sin²³⁹⁸ with his lips.⁸¹⁹³

11  Now when Job's³⁴⁷ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ friends⁷⁴⁵³ heard^{8085 853} of all³⁶⁰⁵ this²⁰⁶³ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ that was come⁹³⁵ upon⁵⁹²¹ him, they came⁹³⁵ every one³⁷⁶ from his own place;^{4480 4725} Eliphaz⁴⁶⁴ the Temanite,⁸⁴⁸⁹ and Bildad¹⁰⁸⁵ the Shuhite,⁷⁷⁴⁷ and Zophar⁶⁶⁹¹ the Naamathite:⁵²⁸⁴ for they had made an appointment³²⁵⁹ together³¹⁶² to come⁹³⁵ to mourn⁵¹¹⁰ with him and to comfort⁵¹⁶² him.

12  And when they lifted up^{5375 853} their eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ afar off,^{4480 7350} and knew⁵²³⁴ him not,³⁸⁰⁸ they lifted up⁵³⁷⁵ their voice,⁶⁹⁶³ and wept;¹⁰⁵⁸ and they rent⁷¹⁶⁷ every one³⁷⁶ his mantle,⁴⁵⁹⁸ and sprinkled²²³⁶ dust⁶⁰⁸³ upon⁵⁹²¹ their heads⁷²¹⁸ toward heaven.⁸⁰⁶⁴

13  So they sat down³⁴²⁷ with⁸⁵⁴ him upon the ground⁷⁷⁶ seven⁷⁶⁵¹ days³¹¹⁷ and seven⁷⁶⁵¹ nights,³⁹¹⁵ and none³⁶⁹ spoke¹⁶⁹⁶ a word¹⁶⁹⁷ unto⁴¹³ him: for³⁵⁸⁸ they saw⁷²⁰⁰ that³⁵⁸⁸ his grief³⁵¹¹ was very great.^{1431 3966}

1 ἐγένετο δὲ ὡς ἡ ἡμέρα αὕτη καὶ ἦλθον οἱ ἄγγελοι τοῦ θεοῦ παραστῆναι ἔναντι κυρίου καὶ ὁ διάβολος ἦλθεν ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν παραστῆναι ἐναντίον τοῦ κυρίου

2 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ κύριος τῷ διαβόλῳ πόθεν σὺ ἔρχῃ τότε εἶπεν ὁ διάβολος ἐνώπιον τοῦ κυρίου διαπορευθεὶς τὴν ὑπ᾽ οὐρανὸν καὶ ἐμπεριπατήσας τὴν σύμπασαν πάρειμι

3 εἶπεν δὲ ὁ κύριος πρὸς τὸν διάβολον προσέσχες οὖν τῷ θεράποντί μου Ιωβ ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν κατ᾽ αὐτὸν τῶν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ἄνθρωπος ἄκακος ἀληθινός ἄμεμπτος θεοσεβής ἀπεχόμενος ἀπὸ παντὸς κακοῦ ἔτι δὲ ἔχεται ἀκακίας σὺ δὲ εἶπας τὰ ὑπάρχοντα αὐτοῦ διὰ κενῆς ἀπολέσαι

4 ὑπολαβὼν δὲ ὁ διάβολος εἶπεν τῷ κυρίῳ δέρμα ὑπὲρ δέρματος ὅσα ὑπάρχει ἀνθρώπῳ ὑπὲρ τῆς ψυχῆς αὐτοῦ ἐκτείσει

5 οὐ μὴν δὲ ἀλλὰ ἀποστείλας τὴν χεῖρά σου ἅψαι τῶν ὀστῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ τῶν σαρκῶν αὐτοῦ εἰ μὴν εἰς πρόσωπόν σε εὐλογήσει

6 εἶπεν δὲ ὁ κύριος τῷ διαβόλῳ ἰδοὺ παραδίδωμί σοι αὐτόν μόνον τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ διαφύλαξον

7 ἐξῆλθεν δὲ ὁ διάβολος ἀπὸ τοῦ κυρίου καὶ ἔπαισεν τὸν Ιωβ ἕλκει πονηρῷ ἀπὸ ποδῶν ἕως κεφαλῆς

8 καὶ ἔλαβεν ὄστρακον ἵνα τὸν ἰχῶρα ξύῃ καὶ ἐκάθητο ἐπὶ τῆς κοπρίας ἔξω τῆς πόλεως

9 χρόνου δὲ πολλοῦ προβεβηκότος εἶπεν αὐτῷ ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ μέχρι τίνος καρτερήσεις λέγων
ἰδοὺ ἀναμένω χρόνον ἔτι μικρὸν προσδεχόμενος τὴν ἐλπίδα τῆς σωτηρίας μου
ἰδοὺ γὰρ ἠφάνισταί σου τὸ μνημόσυνον ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς υἱοὶ καὶ θυγατέρες ἐμῆς κοιλίας ὠδῖνες καὶ πόνοι οὓς εἰς τὸ κενὸν ἐκοπίασα μετὰ μόχθων
σύ τε αὐτὸς ἐν σαπρίᾳ σκωλήκων κάθησαι διανυκτερεύων αἴθριος
κἀγὼ πλανῆτις καὶ λάτρις τόπον ἐκ τόπου περιερχομένη καὶ οἰκίαν ἐξ οἰκίας προσδεχομένη τὸν ἥλιον πότε δύσεται ἵνα ἀναπαύσωμαι τῶν μόχθων καὶ τῶν ὀδυνῶν αἵ με νῦν συνέχουσιν
ἀλλὰ εἰπόν τι ῥῆμα εἰς κύριον καὶ τελεύτα

10 ὁ δὲ ἐμβλέψας εἶπεν αὐτῇ ὥσπερ μία τῶν ἀφρόνων γυναικῶν ἐλάλησας εἰ τὰ ἀγαθὰ ἐδεξάμεθα ἐκ χειρὸς κυρίου τὰ κακὰ οὐχ ὑποίσομεν ἐν πᾶσιν τούτοις τοῖς συμβεβηκόσιν αὐτῷ οὐδὲν ἥμαρτεν Ιωβ τοῖς χείλεσιν ἐναντίον τοῦ θεοῦ

11 ἀκούσαντες δὲ οἱ τρεῖς φίλοι αὐτοῦ τὰ κακὰ πάντα τὰ ἐπελθόντα αὐτῷ παρεγένοντο ἕκαστος ἐκ τῆς ἰδίας χώρας πρὸς αὐτόν Ελιφας ὁ Θαιμανων βασιλεύς Βαλδαδ ὁ Σαυχαίων τύραννος Σωφαρ ὁ Μιναίων βασιλεύς καὶ παρεγένοντο πρὸς αὐτὸν ὁμοθυμαδὸν τοῦ παρακαλέσαι καὶ ἐπισκέψασθαι αὐτόν

12 ἰδόντες δὲ αὐτὸν πόρρωθεν οὐκ ἐπέγνωσαν καὶ βοήσαντες φωνῇ μεγάλῃ ἔκλαυσαν ῥήξαντες ἕκαστος τὴν ἑαυτοῦ στολὴν καὶ καταπασάμενοι γῆν

13 παρεκάθισαν αὐτῷ ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας καὶ ἑπτὰ νύκτας καὶ οὐδεὶς αὐτῶν ἐλάλησεν ἑώρων γὰρ τὴν πληγὴν δεινὴν οὖσαν καὶ μεγάλην σφόδρα

Vul

1 Factum est autem, cum quadam die venissent filii Dei, et starent coram Domino, venisset quoque Satan inter eos, et staret in conspectu ejus,

2 ut diceret Dominus ad Satan: Unde venis? Qui respondens ait: Circuivi terram, et perambulavi eam.

3 Et dixit Dominus ad Satan: Numquid considerasti servum meum Job, quod non sit ei similis in terra, vir simplex et rectus, ac timens Deum, et recedens a malo, et adhuc retinens innocentiam? tu autem commovisti me adversus eum, ut affligerem eum frustra.

4 Cui respondens Satan, ait: Pellem pro pelle, et cuncta quæ habet homo dabit pro anima sua;

5 alioquin mitte manum tuam, et tange os ejus et carnem, et tunc videbis quod in faciem benedicat tibi.

6 Dixit ergo Dominus ad Satan: Ecce in manu tua est: verumtamen animam illius serva.

7 Egressus igitur Satan a facie Domini, percussit Job ulcere pessimo, a planta pedis usque ad verticem ejus;

8 qui testa saniem radebat, sedens in sterquilinio.

9 Dixit autem illi uxor sua: Adhuc tu permanes in simplicitate tua? Benedic Deo, et morere.

10 Qui ait ad illam: Quasi una de stultis mulieribus locuta es: si bona suscepimus de manu Dei, mala quare non suscipiamus? In omnibus his non peccavit Job labiis suis.

11 Igitur audientes tres amici Job omne malum quod accidisset ei, venerunt singuli de loco suo, Eliphaz Themanites, et Baldad Suhites, et Sophar Naamathites. Condixerant enim ut pariter venientes visitarent eum, et consolarentur.

12 Cumque elevassent procul oculos suos, non cognoverunt eum, et exclamantes ploraverunt, scissisque vestibus sparserunt pulverem super caput suum in cælum.

13 Et sederunt cum eo in terra septem diebus et septem noctibus: et nemo loquebatur ei verbum: videbant enim dolorem esse vehementem.
