| But Job answered and said, | ΥΠΟΛΑΒΩΝ δὲ ᾿Ιὼβ λέγει· |
|

|

|
| Hear ye, hear ye my words, that I may not have this consolation from you. | ἀκούσατε ἀκούσατέ μου τῶν λόγων, ἵνα μὴ ᾖ μοι παρ᾿ ὑμῶν αὕτη ἡ παράκλησις. |

|
| Raise me, and I will speak; then ye shall not laugh me to scorn. | ἄρατέ με, ἐγὼ δὲ λαλήσω, εἶτ᾿ οὐ καταγελάσετέ μου. |
|

|
| What! is my reproof of man? and why should I not be angry? | τί γάρ; μὴ ἀνθρώπου μου ἡ ἔλεγξις; ἢ διατί οὐ θυμωθήσομαι; |
|
5
|
5
|
| Look upon me, and wonder, laying your hand upon your cheek. | εἰσβλέψαντες εἰς ἐμὲ θαυμάσετε χεῖρα θέντες ἐπὶ σιαγόνι· |
|

|

|
| For even when I remember, I am alarmed, and pains seize my flesh. | ἐάν τε γὰρ μνησθῶ, ἐσπούδακα, ἔχουσι δέ μου τὰς σάρκας ὀδύναι. |
|

|
| Wherefore do the ungodly live, and grow old even in wealth? | διατὶ ἀσεβεῖς ζῶσι, πεπαλαίωνται δὲ καὶ ἐν πλούτῳ; |
|
8
|
8
|
| Their seed is according to their desire, and their children are in their sight. | ὁ σπόρος αὐτῶν κατὰ ψυχήν, τὰ δὲ τέκνα αὐτῶν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς. |
|
9
|
9
|
| Their houses are prosperous, neither have they any where cause for fear, neither is there a scourge from the Lord upon them. | οἱ οἶκοι αὐτῶν εὐθηνοῦσι, φόβος δὲ οὐδαμοῦ, μάστιξ δὲ παρὰ Κυρίου οὐκ ἔστιν ἐπ᾿ αὐτοῖς. |
|
10
|
10
|
| Their cow does not cast her calf, and their beast with young is safe, and does not miscarry. | ἡ βοῦς αὐτῶν οὐκ ὠμοτόκησε, διεσώθη δὲ αὐτῶν ἐν γαστρὶ ἔχουσα καὶ οὐκ ἔσφαλε. |
|
11
|
11
|
| And they remain as an unfailing flock, and their children play before them, taking up the psaltery and harp; | μένουσε δὲ ὡς πρόβατα αἰώνια, τὰ δὲ παιδία αὐτῶν προσπαίζουσιν |
|
12
|
12
|
| and they rejoice at the voice of a song. | ἀναλαβόντες ψαλτήριον καὶ κιθάραν καὶ εὐφραίνονται φωνῇ ψαλμοῦ. |
|
13
|
13
|
| And they spend their days in wealth, and fall asleep in the rest of the grave. | συνετέλεσαν δὲ ἐν ἀγαθοῖς τὸν βίον αὐτῶν, ἐν δὲ ἀναπαύσει ᾅδου ἐκοιμήθησαν. |
|
14
|
14
|
| Yet such a man says to the Lord, Depart from me; I desire not to know thy ways. | λέγει δὲ Κυρίῳ· ἀπόστα ἀπ᾿ ἐμοῦ, ὁδούς σου εἰδέναι οὐ βούλομαι· |
|
15
|
15
|
| What is the Mighty One, that we should serve him? and what profit is there that we should approach him? | τί ἱκανός, ὅτι δουλεύσομεν αὐτῷ; καὶ τίς ὠφέλεια, ὅτι ἀπαντήσομεν αὐτῷ; |
|
16
|
16
|
| For their good things were in their hands, but he regards not the works of the ungodly. | ἐν χερσὶ γὰρ ἦν αὐτῶν τὰ ἀγαθά, ἔργα δὲ ἀσεβῶν οὐκ ἐφορᾷ. |
|
17
|
17
|
| Nevertheless, the lamp of the ungodly also shall be put out, and destruction shall come upon them, and pangs of vengeance shall seize them. | οὐ μὴν δὲ ἀλλὰ καὶ ἀσεβῶν λύχνος σβεσθήσεται, ἐπελεύσεται δὲ αὐτοῖς ἡ καταστροφή, ὠδῖνες δὲ αὐτοὺς ἕξουσιν ἀπὸ ὀργῆς. |
|
18
|
18
|
| And they shall be as chaff before the wind, or as dust which the storm has taken up. | ἔσονται δὲ ὥσπερ ἄχυρα ὑπ᾿ ἀνέμου ἢ ὥσπερ κονιορτός, ὃν ὑφείλετο λαῖλαψ. |
|
19
|
19
|
| Let his substance fail to supply his children: God shall recompense him, and he shall know it. | ἐκλίποι υἱοὺς τὰ ὑπάρχοντα αὐτοῦ, ἀνταποδώσει πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ γνώσεται. |
|
20
|
20
|
| Let his eyes see his own destruction, and let him not be saved by the Lord. | ἴδοισαν οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ τὴν ἑαυτοῦ σφαγήν, ἀπὸ δὲ Κυρίου μὴ διασωθείη· |
|
21
|
21
|
| For his desire is in his house with him, and the number of his months has been suddenly cut off. | ὅτι τὸ θέλημα αὐτοῦ ἐν οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀριθμοὶ μηνῶν αὐτοῦ διῃρέθησαν. |
|
22
|
22
|
| Is it not the Lord who teaches understanding and knowledge? and does not he judge murders? | πότερον οὐχὶ ὁ Κύριός ἐστιν ὁ διδάσκων σύνεσιν καὶ ἐπιστήμην; αὐτὸς δὲ φόνους διακρινεῖ; |
|
23
|
23
|
| One shall die in his perfect strength, and wholly at ease and prosperous; | οὗτος ἀποθανεῖται ἐν κράτει ἁπλοσύνης αὐτοῦ, ὅλος δὲ εὐπαθῶν καὶ εὐθηνῶν· |
|
24
|
24
|
| and his inwards are full of fat, and his marrow is diffused throughout him. | τὰ δὲ ἔγκατα αὐτοῦ πλήρη στέατος, μυελὸς δὲ αὐτοῦ διαχεῖται. |
|
25
|
25
|
| And another dies in bitterness of soul, not eating any good thing. | ὁ δὲ τελευτᾷ ὑπὸ πικρίας ψυχῆς, οὐ φαγὼν οὐδὲν ἀγαθόν. |
|
26
|
26
|
| But they lie down in the earth together, and corruption covers them. | ὁμοθυμαδὸν δὲ ἐπὶ γῆς κοιμῶνται, σαπρία δὲ αὐτοὺς ἐκάλυψεν. |
|
27
|
27
|
| So I know you, that ye presumptuously attack me: | ὥστε οἶδα ὑμᾶς ὅτι τόλμῃ ἐπίκεισθέ μοι· |
|
28
|
28
|
| so that ye will say, Where is the house of the prince? and where is the covering of the tabernacles of the ungodly? | ὥστε ἐρεῖτε· ποῦ ἐστιν οἶκος ἄρχοντος; καὶ ποῦ ἐστιν ἡ σκέπη τῶν σκηνωμάτων τῶν ἀσεβῶν; |
|
29
|
29
|
| Ask those that go by the way, and do not disown their tokens. | ἐρωτήσατε παραπορευομένους ὁδόν, καὶ τὰ σημεῖα αὐτῶν οὐκ ἀπαλλοτριώσετε· |
|
30
|
30
|
| For the wicked hastens to the day of destruction: they shall be led away for the day of his vengeance. | ὅτι εἰς ἡμέραν ἀπωλείας κουφίζεται ὁ πονηρός, εἰς ἡμέραν ὀργῆς αὐτοῦ ἀπαχθήσονται. |
|
31
|
31
|
| Who will tell him his way to his face, whereas he has done it? who shall recompense him? | τίς ἀπαγγελεῖ ἐπὶ προσώπου αὐτοῦ τὴν ὁδὸν αὐτοῦ; καὶ αὐτὸς ἐποίησε, τίς ἀνταποδώσει αὐτῷ; |
|
32
|
32
|
| And he has been led away to the tombs, and he has watched over the heaps. | καὶ αὐτὸς εἰς τάφους ἀπηνέχθη καὶ ἐπὶ σωρῶν ἠγρύπνησεν. |
|
33
|
33
|
| The stones of the valley have been sweet to him, and every man shall depart after him, and there are innumerable ones before him. | ἐγλυκάνθησαν αὐτῷ χάλικες χειμάρρου, καὶ ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ πᾶς ἄνθρωπος ἀπελεύσεται, καὶ ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ ἀναρίθμητοι. |
|
34
|
34
|
| How then do ye comfort me in vain? whereas I have no rest from your molestation. | πῶς δὲ παρακαλεῖτέ με κενά; τὸ δὲ ἐμὲ καταπαύσασθαι ἀφ᾿ ὑμῶν οὐδέν. |
