Job 6

KJV

1  But Job347 answered6030 and said,559

2  Oh that3863 my grief3708 were throughly weighed,8254 8254 and my calamity1942 laid5375 in the balances3976 together!3162

3  For3588 now6258 it would be heavier3513 than the sand4480 2344 of the sea:3220 therefore5921 3651 my words1697 are swallowed up.3886

4  For3588 the arrows2671 of the Almighty7706 are within5978 me, the poison2534 whereof834 drinketh up8354 my spirit:7307 the terrors1161 of God433 do set themselves in array against6186 me.

5  Doth the wild ass6501 bray5101 when he hath grass?1877 or518 loweth1600 the ox7794 over5921 his fodder?1098

6  Can that which is unsavory8602 be eaten398 without4480 1097 salt?4417 or518 is there3426 any taste2940 in the white7388 of an egg?2495

7  The things1992 that my soul5315 refused3985 to touch5060 are as my sorrowful1741 meat.3899

8  Oh that4310 I might5414 have935 my request;7596 and that God433 would grant5414 me the thing that I long for!8615

9  Even that it would please2974 God433 to destroy1792 me; that he would let loose5425 his hand,3027 and cut me off!1214

10  Then should I yet5750 have1961 comfort;5165 yea, I would harden5539 myself in sorrow:2427 let him not3808 spare;2550 for3588 I have not3808 concealed3582 the words561 of the Holy One.6918

11  What4100 is my strength,3581 that3588 I should hope?3176 and what4100 is mine end,7093 that3588 I should prolong748 my life?5315

12  Is my strength3581 the strength3581 of stones?68 or is my flesh1320 of brass?5153

13  Is not369 my help5833 in me? and is wisdom8454 driven5080 quite from4480 me?

14  To him that is afflicted4523 pity2617 should be showed from his friend;4480 7453 but he forsaketh5800 the fear3374 of the Almighty.7706

15  My brethren251 have dealt deceitfully898 as3644 a brook,5158 and as the stream650 of brooks5158 they pass away;5674

16  Which are blackish6937 by reason of4480 the ice,7140 and wherein5921 the snow7950 is hid:5956

17  What time6256 they wax warm,2215 they vanish:6789 when it is hot,2522 they are consumed1846 out of their place.4480 4725

18  The paths734 of their way1870 are turned aside;3943 they go5927 to nothing,8414 and perish.6

19  The troops734 of Tema8485 looked,5027 the companies1979 of Sheba7614 waited6960 for3926 them.

20  They were confounded954 because3588 they had hoped;982 they came935 thither,5704 and were ashamed.2659

21  For3588 now6258 ye are1961 nothing;3808 ye see7200 my casting down,2866 and are afraid.3372

22  Did3588 I say,559 Bring3051 unto me? or, Give a reward7809 for1157 me of your substance?4480 3581

23  Or, Deliver4422 me from the enemy's hand?4480 3027 6862 or, Redeem6299 me from the hand4480 3027 of the mighty?6184

24  Teach3384 me, and I589 will hold my tongue:2790 and cause me to understand995 wherein4100 I have erred.7686

25  How4100 forcible4834 are right3476 words!561 but what4100 doth your arguing3198 reprove?3198 4480

26  Do ye imagine2803 to reprove3198 words,4405 and the speeches561 of one that is desperate,2976 which are as wind?7307

27  Yea,637 ye overwhelm5307 5921 the fatherless,3490 and ye dig3738 a pit for5921 your friend.7453

28  Now6258 therefore be content,2974 look6437 upon me; for it is evident unto5921 6440 you if518 I lie.3576

29  Return,7725 I pray you,4994 let it not408 be1961 iniquity;5766 yea, return7725 again,5750 my righteousness6664 is in it.

30  Is there3426 iniquity5766 in my tongue?3956 cannot3808 my taste2441 discern995 perverse things?1942

1 ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Ιωβ λέγει

2 εἰ γάρ τις ἱστῶν στήσαι μου τὴν ὀργήν τὰς δὲ ὀδύνας μου ἄραι ἐν ζυγῷ ὁμοθυμαδόν

3 καὶ δὴ ἄμμου παραλίας βαρυτέρα ἔσται ἀλλ᾽ ὡς ἔοικεν τὰ ῥήματά μού ἐστιν φαῦλα

4 βέλη γὰρ κυρίου ἐν τῷ σώματί μού ἐστιν ὧν ὁ θυμὸς αὐτῶν ἐκπίνει μου τὸ αἷμα ὅταν ἄρξωμαι λαλεῖν κεντοῦσί με

5 τί γάρ μὴ διὰ κενῆς κεκράξεται ὄνος ἄγριος ἀλλ᾽ ἢ τὰ σῖτα ζητῶν εἰ δὲ καὶ ῥήξει φωνὴν βοῦς ἐπὶ φάτνης ἔχων τὰ βρώματα

6 εἰ βρωθήσεται ἄρτος ἄνευ ἁλός εἰ δὲ καὶ ἔστιν γεῦμα ἐν ῥήμασιν κενοῖς

7 οὐ δύναται γὰρ παύσασθαί μου ἡ ψυχή βρόμον γὰρ ὁρῶ τὰ σῖτά μου ὥσπερ ὀσμὴν λέοντος

8 εἰ γὰρ δῴη καὶ ἔλθοι μου ἡ αἴτησις καὶ τὴν ἐλπίδα μου δῴη ὁ κύριος

9 ἀρξάμενος ὁ κύριος τρωσάτω με εἰς τέλος δὲ μή με ἀνελέτω

10 εἴη δέ μου πόλις τάφος ἐφ᾽ ἧς ἐπὶ τειχέων ἡλλόμην ἐπ᾽ αὐτῆς οὐ μὴ φείσωμαι οὐ γὰρ ἐψευσάμην ῥήματα ἅγια θεοῦ μου

11 τίς γάρ μου ἡ ἰσχύς ὅτι ὑπομένω ἢ τίς μου ὁ χρόνος ὅτι ἀνέχεταί μου ἡ ψυχή

12 μὴ ἰσχὺς λίθων ἡ ἰσχύς μου ἢ αἱ σάρκες μού εἰσιν χάλκειαι

13 ἦ οὐκ ἐπ᾽ αὐτῷ ἐπεποίθειν βοήθεια δὲ ἀπ᾽ ἐμοῦ ἄπεστιν

14 ἀπείπατό με ἔλεος ἐπισκοπὴ δὲ κυρίου ὑπερεῖδέν με

15 οὐ προσεῖδόν με οἱ ἐγγύτατοί μου ὥσπερ χειμάρρους ἐκλείπων ἢ ὥσπερ κῦμα παρῆλθόν με

16 οἵτινές με διευλαβοῦντο νῦν ἐπιπεπτώκασίν μοι ὥσπερ χιὼν ἢ κρύσταλλος πεπηγώς

17 καθὼς τακεῖσα θέρμης γενομένης οὐκ ἐπεγνώσθη ὅπερ ἦν

18 οὕτως κἀγὼ κατελείφθην ὑπὸ πάντων ἀπωλόμην δὲ καὶ ἔξοικος ἐγενόμην

19 ἴδετε ὁδοὺς Θαιμανων ἀτραποὺς Σαβων οἱ διορῶντες

20 καὶ αἰσχύνην ὀφειλήσουσιν οἱ ἐπὶ πόλεσιν καὶ χρήμασιν πεποιθότες

21 ἀτὰρ δὲ καὶ ὑμεῖς ἐπέβητέ μοι ἀνελεημόνως ὥστε ἰδόντες τὸ ἐμὸν τραῦμα φοβήθητε

22 τί γάρ μή τι ὑμᾶς ᾔτησα ἢ τῆς παρ᾽ ὑμῶν ἰσχύος ἐπιδέομαι

23 ὥστε σῶσαί με ἐξ ἐχθρῶν ἢ ἐκ χειρὸς δυναστῶν ῥύσασθαί με

24 διδάξατέ με ἐγὼ δὲ κωφεύσω εἴ τι πεπλάνημαι φράσατέ μοι

25 ἀλλ᾽ ὡς ἔοικεν φαῦλα ἀληθινοῦ ῥήματα οὐ γὰρ παρ᾽ ὑμῶν ἰσχὺν αἰτοῦμαι

26 οὐδὲ ὁ ἔλεγχος ὑμῶν ῥήμασίν με παύσει οὐδὲ γὰρ ὑμῶν φθέγμα ῥήματος ἀνέξομαι

27 πλὴν ὅτι ἐπ᾽ ὀρφανῷ ἐπιπίπτετε ἐνάλλεσθε δὲ ἐπὶ φίλῳ ὑμῶν

28 νυνὶ δὲ εἰσβλέψας εἰς πρόσωπα ὑμῶν οὐ ψεύσομαι

29 καθίσατε δὴ καὶ μὴ εἴη ἄδικον καὶ πάλιν τῷ δικαίῳ συνέρχεσθε

30 οὐ γάρ ἐστιν ἐν γλώσσῃ μου ἄδικον ἢ ὁ λάρυγξ μου οὐχὶ σύνεσιν μελετᾷ

1 Respondens autem Job, dixit:

2 [Utinam appenderentur peccata mea quibus iram merui,
et calamitas quam patior, in statera!

3 Quasi arena maris hæc gravior appareret;
unde et verba mea dolore sunt plena:

4 quia sagittæ Domini in me sunt,
quarum indignatio ebibit spiritum meum;
et terrores Domini militant contra me.

5 Numquid rugiet onager cum habuerit herbam?
aut mugiet bos cum ante præsepe plenum steterit?

6 aut poterit comedi insulsum, quod non est sale conditum?
aut potest aliquis gustare quod gustatum affert mortem?

7 Quæ prius nolebat tangere anima mea,
nunc, præ angustia, cibi mei sunt.

8 Quis det ut veniat petitio mea,
et quod expecto tribuat mihi Deus?

9 et qui cœpit, ipse me conterat;
solvat manum suam, et succidat me?

10 Et hæc mihi sit consolatio, ut affligens me dolore, non parcat,
nec contradicam sermonibus Sancti.

11 Quæ est enim fortitudo mea, ut sustineam?
aut quis finis meus, ut patienter agam?

12 Nec fortitudo lapidum fortitudo mea,
nec caro mea ænea est.

13 Ecce non est auxilium mihi in me,
et necessarii quoque mei recesserunt a me.

14 Qui tollit ab amico suo misericordiam,
timorem Domini derelinquit.

15 Fratres mei præterierunt me,
sicut torrens qui raptim transit in convallibus.

16 Qui timent pruinam,
irruet super eos nix.

17 Tempore quo fuerint dissipati, peribunt;
et ut incaluerit, solventur de loco suo.

18 Involutæ sunt semitæ gressuum eorum;
ambulabunt in vacuum, et peribunt.

19 Considerate semitas Thema, itinera Saba,
et expectate paulisper.

20 Confusi sunt, quia speravi:
venerunt quoque usque ad me, et pudore cooperti sunt.

21 Nunc venistis;
et modo videntes plagam meam, timetis.

22 Numquid dixi: Afferte mihi,
et de substantia vestra donate mihi?

23 vel: Liberate me de manu hostis,
et de manu robustorum eruite me?

24 Docete me, et ego tacebo:
et si quid forte ignoravi, instruite me.

25 Quare detraxistis sermonibus veritatis,
cum e vobis nullus sit qui possit arguere me?

26 Ad increpandum tantum eloquia concinnatis,
et in ventum verba profertis.

27 Super pupillum irruitis,
et subvertere nitimini amicum vestrum.

28 Verumtamen quod cœpistis explete:
præbete aurem, et videte an mentiar.

29 Respondete, obsecro, absque contentione;
et loquentes id quod justum est, judicate.

30 Et non invenietis in lingua mea iniquitatem,
nec in faucibus meis stultitia personabit.]
