|
2
|
2
|
| εἶτα ὑμεῖς ἐστε ἄνθρωποι· ἦ μεθ᾿ ὑμῶν τελευτήσει σοφία. | So then ye alone are men, and wisdom shall die with you? |
|

|
3
|
| κἀμοὶ μὲν καρδία καθ᾿ ὑμᾶς ἐστι· | But I also have a heart as well as you. |
|

|
| εἰς χρόνον γὰρ τακτὸν ἡτοίμαστο πεσεῖν ὑπὸ ἄλλων, οἴκους τε αὐτοῦ ἐκπορθεῖσθαι ὑπὸ ἀνόμων. οὐ μὴν δὲ ἀλλὰ μηδεὶς πεποιθέτω πονηρὸς ὢν ἀθῷος ἔσεσθαι, | For it had been ordained that he should fall under others at the appointed time, and that his houses should be spoiled by transgressors: let not however any one trust that, being evil, he shall be held guiltless, |
|

|
6
|
| ὅσοι παροργίζουσι τὸν Κύριον, ὡς οὐχὶ καὶ ἔτασις αὐτῶν ἔσται. | even as many as provoke the Lord, as if there were indeed to be no inquisition made of them. |
|
7
|
7
|
| ἀλλὰ δὴ ἐρώτησον τετράποδα ἐάν σοι εἴπωσι, πετεινὰ δὲ οὐρανοῦ ἐάν σοι ἀπαγγείλωσιν· | But ask now the beasts, if they may speak to thee; and the birds of the air, if they may declare to thee. |
|
8
|
8
|
| ἐκδιήγησαι γῇ, ἐάν σοι φράσῃ, καὶ ἐξηγήσονταί σοι οἱ ἰχθύες τῆς θαλάσσης. | Tell the earth, if it may speak to thee: and the fishes of the sea shall explain to thee. |
|
9
|
9
|
| τίς οὖν οὐκ ἔγνω ἐν πᾶσι τούτοις ὅτι χεὶρ Κυρίου ἐποίησε ταῦτα; | Who then has not known in all these things, that the hand of the Lord has made them? |
|
10
|
10
|
| εἰ μὴ ἐν χειρὶ αὐτοῦ ψυχὴ πάντων ζώντων καὶ πνεῦμα παντὸς ἀνθρώπου; | Whereas the life of all living things is in his hand, and the breath of every man. |
|
11

11
|
| οὖς μὲν γὰρ ρήματα διακρίνει, λάρυγξ δὲ σῖτα γεύεται. | For the ear tries words, and the palate tastes meats. |
|
12

|
14
|
14
|
| ἐὰν καταβάλῃ, τίς οἰκοδομήσει; ἐὰν κλείσῃ κατ᾿ ἀνθρώπων, τίς ἀνοίξει; | If he should cast down, who will build up? if he should shut up against men, who shall open? |
|
15
|
15
|
| ἐὰν κωλύσῃ τὸ ὕδωρ, ξηρανεῖ τὴν γῆν· ἐὰν δὲ ἐπαφῇ, ἀπώλεσεν αὐτὴν καταστρέψας. | If he should withhold the water, he will dry the earth: and if he should let it loose, he overthrows and destroys it. |
|
16
|
16
|
