1  So these⁴²⁸ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ men³⁷⁶ ceased⁷⁶⁷³ to answer^{4480 6030 853} Job,³⁴⁷ because³⁵⁸⁸ he¹⁹³¹ was righteous⁶⁶⁶² in his own eyes.⁵⁸⁶⁹

2  Then was kindled²⁷³⁴ the wrath⁶³⁹ of Elihu⁴⁵³ the son¹¹²¹ of Barachel¹²⁹² the Buzite,⁹⁴⁰ of the kindred^{4480 4940} of Ram:⁷⁴¹⁰ against Job³⁴⁷ was his wrath⁶³⁹ kindled,²⁷³⁴ because⁵⁹²¹ he justified⁶⁶⁶³ himself⁵³¹⁵ rather than God.^{4480 430}

3  Also against his three⁷⁹⁶⁹ friends⁷⁴⁵³ was his wrath⁶³⁹ kindled,²⁷³⁴ because^{5921 834} they had found⁴⁶⁷² no³⁸⁰⁸ answer,⁴⁶¹⁷ and yet had condemned^{7561 853} Job.³⁴⁷

4  Now Elihu⁴⁵³ had waited²⁴⁴² till ⁸⁵³ Job³⁴⁷ had spoken,¹⁶⁹⁷ because³⁵⁸⁸ they¹⁹⁹² were elder^{2205 3117} than⁴⁴⁸⁰ he.

5  When Elihu⁴⁵³ saw⁷²⁰⁰ that³⁵⁸⁸ there was no³⁶⁹ answer⁴⁶¹⁷ in the mouth⁶³¹⁰ of these three⁷⁹⁶⁹ men,³⁷⁶ then his wrath⁶³⁹ was kindled.²⁷³⁴

6  And Elihu⁴⁵³ the son¹¹²¹ of Barachel¹²⁹² the Buzite⁹⁴⁰ answered⁶⁰³⁰ and said,⁵⁵⁹ I⁵⁸⁹ am young,⁶⁸¹⁰ and ye⁸⁵⁹ are very old;^{3453 3117} wherefore^{5921 3651} I was afraid,²¹¹⁹ and durst³³⁷² not show^{4480 2331} you mine opinion.¹⁸⁴³

7  I said,⁵⁵⁹ Days³¹¹⁷ should speak,¹⁶⁹⁶ and multitude⁷²³⁰ of years⁸¹⁴¹ should teach³⁰⁴⁵ wisdom.²⁴⁵¹

8  But⁴⁰³ there is a spirit⁷³⁰⁷ in man:⁵⁸² and the inspiration⁵³⁹⁷ of the Almighty⁷⁷⁰⁶ giveth them understanding.⁹⁹⁵

9  Great⁷²²⁷ men are not³⁸⁰⁸ always wise:²⁴⁴⁹ neither do the aged²²⁰⁵ understand⁹⁹⁵ judgment.⁴⁹⁴¹

10  Therefore³⁶⁵¹ I said,⁵⁵⁹ Hearken⁸⁰⁸⁵ to me; I⁵⁸⁹ also⁶³⁷ will show²³³¹ mine opinion.¹⁸⁴³

11  Behold,²⁰⁰⁵ I waited³¹⁷⁶ for your words;¹⁶⁹⁷ I gave ear²³⁸ to⁵⁷⁰⁴ your reasons,⁸³⁹⁴ whilst⁵⁷⁰⁴ ye searched out²⁷¹³ what to say.⁴⁴⁰⁵

12  Yea, I attended⁹⁹⁵ unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ you, and, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ there was none³⁶⁹ of⁴⁴⁸⁰ you that convinced³¹⁹⁸ Job,³⁴⁷ or that answered⁶⁰³⁰ his words:⁵⁶¹

13  Lest⁶⁴³⁵ ye should say,⁵⁵⁹ We have found out⁴⁶⁷² wisdom:²⁴⁵¹ God⁴¹⁰ thrusteth him down,⁵⁰⁸⁶ not³⁸⁰⁸ man.³⁷⁶

14  Now he hath not³⁸⁰⁸ directed⁶¹⁸⁶ his words⁴⁴⁰⁵ against⁴¹³ me: neither³⁸⁰⁸ will I answer⁷⁷²⁵ him with your speeches.⁵⁶¹

15  They were amazed,²⁸⁶⁵ they answered⁶⁰³⁰ no³⁸⁰⁸ more:⁵⁷⁵⁰ they left off^{6275 4480} speaking.⁴⁴⁰⁵

16  When I had waited,³¹⁷⁶ (for³⁵⁸⁸ they spoke¹⁶⁹⁶ not,³⁸⁰⁸ but³⁵⁸⁸ stood still,⁵⁹⁷⁵ and answered⁶⁰³⁰ no³⁸⁰⁸ more;)⁵⁷⁵⁰

17  I said, I⁵⁸⁹ will answer⁶⁰³⁰ also⁶³⁷ my part,²⁵⁰⁶ I⁵⁸⁹ also⁶³⁷ will show²³³¹ mine opinion.¹⁸⁴³

18  For³⁵⁸⁸ I am full⁴³⁹⁰ of matter,⁴⁴⁰⁵ the spirit⁷³⁰⁷ within⁹⁹⁰ me constraineth⁶⁶⁹³ me.

19  Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ my belly⁹⁹⁰ is as wine³¹⁹⁶ which hath no³⁸⁰⁸ vent;⁶⁶⁰⁵ it is ready to burst¹²³⁴ like new²³¹⁹ bottles.¹⁷⁸

20  I will speak,¹⁶⁹⁶ that I may be refreshed:⁷³⁰⁴ I will open⁶⁶⁰⁵ my lips⁸¹⁹³ and answer.⁶⁰³⁰

21  Let me not,⁴⁰⁸ I pray you,⁴⁹⁹⁴ accept⁵³⁷⁵ any man's³⁷⁶ person,⁶⁴⁴⁰ neither³⁸⁰⁸ let me give flattering titles³⁶⁵⁵ unto⁴¹³ man.¹²⁰

22  For³⁵⁸⁸ I know³⁰⁴⁵ not³⁸⁰⁸ to give flattering titles;³⁶⁵⁵ in so doing my maker⁶²¹³ would soon⁴⁵⁹² take me away.⁵³⁷⁵

1 ἡσύχασαν δὲ καὶ οἱ τρεῖς φίλοι αὐτοῦ ἔτι ἀντειπεῖν Ιωβ ἦν γὰρ Ιωβ δίκαιος ἐναντίον αὐτῶν

2 ὠργίσθη δὲ Ελιους ὁ τοῦ Βαραχιηλ ὁ Βουζίτης ἐκ τῆς συγγενείας Ραμ τῆς Αυσίτιδος χώρας ὠργίσθη δὲ τῷ Ιωβ σφόδρα διότι ἀπέφηνεν ἑαυτὸν δίκαιον ἐναντίον κυρίου

3 καὶ κατὰ τῶν τριῶν δὲ φίλων ὠργίσθη σφόδρα διότι οὐκ ἠδυνήθησαν ἀποκριθῆναι ἀντίθετα Ιωβ καὶ ἔθεντο αὐτὸν εἶναι ἀσεβῆ

4 Ελιους δὲ ὑπέμεινεν δοῦναι ἀπόκρισιν Ιωβ ὅτι πρεσβύτεροι αὐτοῦ εἰσιν ἡμέραις

5 καὶ εἶδεν Ελιους ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἀπόκρισις ἐν στόματι τῶν τριῶν ἀνδρῶν καὶ ἐθυμώθη ὀργὴ αὐτοῦ

6 ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Ελιους ὁ τοῦ Βαραχιηλ ὁ Βουζίτης εἶπεν νεώτερος μέν εἰμι τῷ χρόνῳ ὑμεῖς δέ ἐστε πρεσβύτεροι διὸ ἡσύχασα φοβηθεὶς τοῦ ὑμῖν ἀναγγεῖλαι τὴν ἐμαυτοῦ ἐπιστήμην

7 εἶπα δὲ ὅτι ὁ χρόνος ἐστὶν ὁ λαλῶν ἐν πολλοῖς δὲ ἔτεσιν οἴδασιν σοφίαν

8 ἀλλὰ πνεῦμά ἐστιν ἐν βροτοῖς πνοὴ δὲ παντοκράτορός ἐστιν ἡ διδάσκουσα

9 οὐχ οἱ πολυχρόνιοί εἰσιν σοφοί οὐδ᾽ οἱ γέροντες οἴδασιν κρίμα

10 διὸ εἶπα ἀκούσατέ μου καὶ ἀναγγελῶ ὑμῖν ἃ οἶδα

11 ἐνωτίζεσθέ μου τὰ ῥήματα ἐρῶ γὰρ ὑμῶν ἀκουόντων ἄχρι οὗ ἐτάσητε λόγους

12 καὶ μέχρι ὑμῶν συνήσω καὶ ἰδοὺ οὐκ ἦν τῷ Ιωβ ἐλέγχων ἀνταποκρινόμενος ῥήματα αὐτοῦ ἐξ ὑμῶν

13 ἵνα μὴ εἴπητε εὕρομεν σοφίαν κυρίῳ προσθέμενοι

14 ἀνθρώπῳ δὲ ἐπετρέψατε λαλῆσαι τοιαῦτα ῥήματα

15 ἐπτοήθησαν οὐκ ἀπεκρίθησαν ἔτι ἐπαλαίωσαν ἐξ αὐτῶν λόγους

16 ὑπέμεινα οὐ γὰρ ἐλάλησαν ὅτι ἔστησαν οὐκ ἀπεκρίθησαν

17 ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Ελιους λέγει

18 πάλιν λαλήσω πλήρης γάρ εἰμι ῥημάτων ὀλέκει γάρ με τὸ πνεῦμα τῆς γαστρός

19 ἡ δὲ γαστήρ μου ὥσπερ ἀσκὸς γλεύκους ζέων δεδεμένος ἢ ὥσπερ φυσητὴρ χαλκέως ἐρρηγώς

20 λαλήσω ἵνα ἀναπαύσωμαι ἀνοίξας τὰ χείλη

21 ἄνθρωπον γὰρ οὐ μὴ αἰσχυνθῶ ἀλλὰ μὴν οὐδὲ βροτὸν οὐ μὴ ἐντραπῶ

22 οὐ γὰρ ἐπίσταμαι θαυμάσαι πρόσωπον εἰ δὲ μή καὶ ἐμὲ σῆτες ἔδονται

1 Omiserunt autem tres viri isti respondere Job, eo quod justus sibi videretur.

2 Et iratus indignatusque est Eliu filius Barachel Buzites, de cognatione Ram: iratus est autem adversum Job, eo quod justum se esse diceret coram Deo.

3 Porro adversum amicos ejus indignatus est, eo quod non invenissent responsionem rationabilem, sed tantummodo condemnassent Job.

4 Igitur Eliu expectavit Job loquentem, eo quod seniores essent qui loquebantur.

5 Cum autem vidisset quod tres respondere non potuissent, iratus est vehementer.

6 Respondensque Eliu filius Barachel Buzites, dixit: [Junior sum tempore, vos autem antiquiores:
idcirco, demisso capite,
veritus sum vobis indicare meam sententiam.

7 Sperabam enim quod ætas prolixior loqueretur,
et annorum multitudo doceret sapientiam.

8 Sed, ut video, spiritus est in hominibus,
et inspiratio Omnipotentis dat intelligentiam.

9 Non sunt longævi sapientes,
nec senes intelligunt judicium.

10 Ideo dicam: Audite me:
ostendam vobis etiam ego meam sapientiam.

11 Expectavi enim sermones vestros;
audivi prudentiam vestram,
donec disceptaremini sermonibus;

12 et donec putabam vos aliquid dicere, considerabam:
sed, ut video, non est qui possit arguere Job,
et respondere ex vobis sermonibus ejus.

13 Ne forte dicatis: Invenimus sapientiam:
Deus projecit eum, non homo.

14 Nihil locutus est mihi:
et ego non secundum sermones vestros respondebo illi.

15 Extimuerunt, nec responderunt ultra,
abstuleruntque a se eloquia.

16 Quoniam igitur expectavi, et non sunt locuti:
steterunt, nec ultra responderunt:

17 respondebo et ego partem meam,
et ostendam scientiam meam.

18 Plenus sum enim sermonibus,
et coarctat me spiritus uteri mei.

19 En venter meus quasi mustum absque spiraculo,
quod lagunculas novas disrumpit.

20 Loquar, et respirabo paululum:
aperiam labia mea, et respondebo.

21 Non accipiam personam viri,
et Deum homini non æquabo.

22 Nescio enim quamdiu subsistam,
et si post modicum tollat me factor meus.]
