1 G5274 And undertaking, G1161 G* Job G3004 says,

2 G2193 For how long G5100 G1464.1 [³weary G4160 ¹will you make G3588 G5590 ²my soul], G1473 G2532 and G2507 demolish G1473 me G3056 with words? G1097 Know G3440 only! G3754 that G3588 G2962 the lord G4160 did G1473 thus with me. G3779

3 G2635 You speak ill G1473 of me; G3756 not G153 being ashamed G1473 by me, G1945 you press upon G1473 me.

4 G3483 Yes G1211 indeed, G1909 in G225 truth G1473 I G4105 was misled, G3844 [⁴in G1473 ⁵me G1161 ¹and G835 ³lodges G4108 ²delusion], G2980 to speak G4487 a word G3739 which G3756 must not be said; G1163 G3588 G1161 but G4487 my words G1473 G4105 mislead, G2532 and G3756 are not G1909 in G2540 time.

5 G1436 But alas, G1161 G3754 for G1909 [²against G1473 ³me G3170 ¹you magnify yourselves], G1724.2 and you assail G1161 G1473 me G3681 in scorn.

6 G1097 Know G3767 then! G3754 that G3588 the G2962 lord G1510.2.3 is G3588 the one G5015 disturbing; G3794 [³fortress G1161 ¹and G1473 ²his G1909 ⁵against G1473 ⁶me G5312 ⁴he raised up high].

7 G2400 Behold, G1070 I laugh G3681 at scorn, G2532 and G3756 I shall not speak; G2980 G2896 I shall have cried out, G2532 and G3759.1 not at all G2917 is there judgment.

8 G2945 [²round about G4039.1 ¹I have been enclosed], G2532 and G3766.2 in no way G1224 shall I pass over; G1909 [³upon G4383 ⁴my face G1473 G4655 ²darkness G5087 ¹he put].

9 G3588 And the G1161 G1391 glory G1473 of mine G575 [²from G1473 ³me G1562 ¹he took off], G851 and removed G1161 G4735 the crown G575 from G2776 my head. G1473

10 G1288 He pulled me apart G1473 G2945 round about, G2532 and G3634.2 I am set out; G1581 and he cut down G1161 G5618 [²as if G1186 ³a tree G3588 G1680 ¹my hope]. G1473

11 G1171 [⁴awfully G1161 ¹And G1473 ³me G3709 ⁵in anger G5530 ²he treated], G2233 and he led G1161 G1473 me G5618 as if G2190 an enemy.

12 G3661 And with one accord G1161 G2064 [²came G3588 G3986.2 ¹his marauders] G1473 G1909 against G1473 me; G3588 in G3598 my ways G1473 G2944 [²encircled G1473 ³me G1455 ¹ones lying in wait].

13 G575 [⁴me G1473 G80 ²brothers G1473 ¹My G868 ³left]; G1097 they know G245 strangers G2228 rather than G1473 me; G5384 [³friends G1161 ¹and G1473 ²my G415 ⁵unmerciful G1096 ⁴have become].

14 G3756 [⁵not to know G4364 ⁴pretend G1473 ⁶me G3588 ¹The ones G1451 ²near G1473 ³me], G2532 and G3588 the ones G1492 knowing G1473 my G3588 G3686 name G1950 forgot G1473 me.

15 G1069 As for the neighbors G3614 of the house, G2321.1 [³female attendants G5037 ¹and also G1473 ²my], G241 I was foreign G1510.7.1 G1726 before G1473 them.

16 G2324 [²attendant G1473 ¹I called my], G2564 G2532 and G3756 he obeyed not; G5219 G4750 [³mouth G1161 ¹and G1473 ²my] G1189 beseeched him .

17 G2532 And G2427.2 I entreated G3588 G1135 my wife; G1473 G4341 and I called -- G1161 G2850.1 flattering G5207 the sons G3825.2 of my concubines. G1473

18 G3588 But they G1161 G1519 [²into G3588 ³the G165 ⁴eon G1473 ¹undid me]; G638.1 G3752 whenever G450 I rise up, G2596 [²against G1473 ³me G2980 ¹they speak].

19 G948 [⁴abhorred G1473 ⁵me G3588 ¹The ones G1492 ²knowing G1473 ³me]; G3739 whom G1211 indeed G25 I had loved, G1881 rose up against G1473 me.

20 G1722 [³in G1192 ⁴my skin G1473 G4595 ²festers G3588 G4561 ¹My flesh]; G1473 G3588 G1161 and the things G3747 of my bones G1473 G1722 [²in G3599 ³teeth G2192 ¹are held].

21 G1653 Show mercy G1473 on me, G1653 show mercy G1473 on me, G5599 O G5384 friends! G5495 [³ the hand G1063 ¹for G2962 ⁴ of the lord G3588 G680 ⁵touching G1473 ⁶me G1510.2.3 ²it is].

22 G1302 And why G1161 G1473 do you pursue me G1377 G5618 as G2532 also G3588 the G2962 lord, G575 [⁴with G1161 ¹and G4561 ⁵my flesh G1473 G3756 ²you are not G1705 ³filled up]?

23 G5100 For what that G1063 G302 G1325 [²might be given G1125 ³to be written G3588 G4487 ¹my words], G1473 G5087 and to put G1161 G1473 them G1722 in G975 a scroll G1519 for G3588 the G165 eon;

24 G1722 written with G1123.1 a stylus G4603 of iron G2532 and G3432.1 on lead, G2228 or G1722 [²on G4073 ³a rock G1448.2 ¹being engraved].

25 G1492 For I know G1063 G3754 that G104.1 [⁶everlasting G1510.2.3 ⁵is G3588 ¹the one G1590 ³to enfeeble G1473 ⁴me G3195 ²being about] G1909 upon G1093 the earth,

26 G450 to raise up G3588 G1192 my skin G1473 G3588 G369.1 being fatigued G3778 by these things . G3844 For by G1063 G2962 the lord G3778 these things G1473 was exhausted on me, G4931

27 G3739 which G1473 I G1683 myself G4902.2 am conscious of, G3739 which G3788 my eye G1473 G3708 has seen, G2532 and G3756 not G243 another; G3956 but all G1161 G1473 [²on me G4931 ¹has been exhausted] G1722 in G2859 my bosom.

28 G1499.1 But if even G2046 you shall say, G5100 What G2046 shall we say G1726 before G1473 him, G2532 and G4491 [² the root G3056 ³of the matter G2147 ¹so find] G1722 in G1473 him?

29 G2125 Venerate G2532 even G1473 to yourselves G575 from G1942 a covering! G2372 For rage G1063 G1909 [²upon G459 ³ the lawless ones G1904 ¹shall come], G2532 and G5119 then G1097 they shall know G4226 where G1510.2.3 [³is G1473 ¹their G3588 G5208 ²material].

1 H347 Then Job H6030 [H8799] answered H559 [H8799] and said,

2 H5704 How H575 long H9020 will ye cause my H5315 breath H3013 [H8686] to grieve, H1792 [H8762] and break H4405 me in pieces with words?

3 H6235 These ten H6471 times H3637 [H8686] have ye wounded H954 [H8799] me: ye are not pale H1970 [H8686] that ye make yourselves strange to me.

4 H551 And be it indeed H7686 [H8804] that I have strayed, H4879 my error H3885 [H8799] remaineth with myself.

5 H551 If indeed H1431 [H8686] ye will magnify H3198 [H8686] yourselves against me, and plead H2781 against me my reproach:

6 H3045 [H8798] Know H645 now H433 that God H5791 [H8765] hath overthrown H5362 [H8689] me, and hath surrounded H4686 me with his net.

7 H2005 Behold, H6817 [H8799] I shriek, H2555 "Violence," H9002 but H3808 I am not H6030 [H8735] heard: H7768 [H8762] I halloo, H9002 but H369 there is no H4941 judgment.

8 H1443 [H8804] He hath fenced up H734 my way H5674 [H8799] that I cannot pass, H7760 [H8799] and he hath set H2822 darkness H5410 in my paths.

9 H6584 [H8689] He hath stripped H3519 me of my glory, H5493 [H8686] and taken H5850 the crown H7218 from my head.

10 H5422 [H8799] He hath torn me down H5439 on every side, H3212 [H8799] and I am gone: H8615 and my hope H5265 [H8686] hath he removed H6086 like a tree.

11 H2734 [H8686] He hath also kindled H639 his anger H2803 [H8799] against me, and he counteth H6862 me to him as one of his constricters.

12 H1416 His troops H935 [H8799] come H3162 together, H5549 [H8799] and raise up H1870 their way H2583 [H8799] against me, and encamp H5439 around H168 my tent.

13 H7368 0 He hath put H251 my brethren H7368 [H8689] far H3045 [H8802] from me, and my acquaintance H2114 [H8804] are verily estranged from me.

14 H7138 My kinsmen H2308 [H8804] have failed, H3045 [H8794] and my familiar friends H7911 [H8804] have forgotten me.

15 H1481 [H8802] They that dwell H1004 in my house, H519 and my maids, H2803 [H8799] count H2114 [H8801] me for a stranger: H5237 I am a foreigner H5869 in their eyes.

16 H7121 [H8804] I called H5650 my servant, H6030 [H8799] and he gave me no answer; H2603 [H8691] I asked for favour from H1119 him with H6310 my mouth.

17 H7307 My spirit H2114 [H8804] is strange H802 to my wife, H2589 [H8800] though I make supplication H1121 to the sons H990 of my own belly.

18 H5759 Yea, young children H3988 [H8804] despised H6965 [H8799] me; I arose, H1696 [H8762] and they spoke against me.

19 H5475 All my close H4962 friends H8581 [H8765] abhorred H157 [H8804] me: and they whom I loved H2015 [H8738] are turned against me.

20 H6106 My bone H1692 [H8804] cleaveth H5785 to my skin H1320 and to my flesh, H4422 [H8691] and I have escaped H5785 with the skin H8127 of my teeth.

21 H2603 [H8798] Have favour H2603 [H8798] upon me, have favour H7453 upon me, O ye my friends; H3027 for the hand H433 of God H5060 [H8804] hath touched me.

22 H7291 [H8799] Why do ye persecute H410 me as God, H7646 [H8799] and are not satisfied H1320 with my flesh?

23 H5414 [H8799] O that H4405 my words H645 were now H3789 [H8735] written! H5414 [H8799] O that H2710 [H8714] they were printed H5612 in a book!

24 H2672 [H8735] That they were engraved H1270 with an iron H5842 pen H5777 in lead H6697 in the rock H5703 for ever!

25 H3045 [H8804] For I know H1350 [H8802] that my redeemer H2416 liveth, H6965 [H8799] and that he shall rise H314 at the latter H6083 day upon the dust:

26 H9002 And H310 after H9020 my H5785 skin H5362 [H8765] is struck off H2063 this body, H9002 yet H9006 from H9020 my H1320 flesh H2372 [H8799] shall I envision H433 God:

27 H834 Whom H589 I H2372 [H8799] shall envision H9005 for H9030 myself, H9002 and H9020 mine H5869 eyes H7200 [H8804] shall behold, H9002 and H3808 not H2114 [H8801] a stranger; H9020 though my H3629 kidneys H3615 [H8804] be consumed H9003 in H9020 my H2436 bosom.

28 H559 [H8799] But ye should say, H7291 [H8799] Why persecute H8328 we him, seeing the root H1697 of the matter H4672 [H8738] is found in me?

29 H1481 [H8798] Be ye afraid H2719 of the sword: H2534 for hot anger H5771 bringeth the punishments H6440 of H2719 the sword, H3045 [H8799] that ye may know H1779 H1779 [H8675] there is a judgment.

2 H3013 How long will ye vex [H8686] H5315 my soul H1792 , and break [H8762] H4405 me in pieces with words?

3 H6235 These ten H6471 times H3637 have ye reproached [H8686] H954 me: ye are not ashamed [H8799] H1970 that ye make yourselves strange [H8686] to me.

4 H551 And be it indeed H7686 that I have erred [H8804] H4879 , mine error H3885 remaineth [H8799] with myself.

5 H551 If indeed H1431 ye will magnify [H8686] H3198 yourselves against me, and plead [H8686] H2781 against me my reproach:

6 H3045 Know [H8798] H645 now H433 that God H5791 hath overthrown [H8765] H5362 me, and hath compassed [H8689] H4686 me with his net.

7 H6817 Behold, I cry out [H8799] H2555 of wrong H6030 , but I am not heard [H8735] H7768 : I cry aloud [H8762] H4941 , but there is no judgment.

8 H1443 He hath fenced up [H8804] H734 my way H5674 that I cannot pass [H8799] H7760 , and he hath set [H8799] H2822 darkness H5410 in my paths.

9 H6584 He hath stripped [H8689] H3519 me of my glory H5493 , and taken [H8686] H5850 the crown H7218 from my head.

10 H5422 He hath destroyed [H8799] H5439 me on every side H3212 , and I am gone [H8799] H8615 : and mine hope H5265 hath he removed [H8686] H6086 like a tree.

11 H2734 He hath also kindled [H8686] H639 his wrath H2803 against me, and he counteth [H8799] H6862 me unto him as one of his enemies.

12 H1416 His troops H935 come [H8799] H3162 together H5549 , and raise up [H8799] H1870 their way H2583 against me, and encamp [H8799] H5439 round about H168 my tabernacle.

13 H7368 He hath put H251 my brethren H7368 far [H8689] H3045 from me, and mine acquaintance [H8802] H2114 are verily estranged [H8804] from me.

14 H7138 My kinsfolk H2308 have failed [H8804] H3045 , and my familiar friends [H8794] H7911 have forgotten [H8804] me.

15 H1481 They that dwell [H8802] H1004 in mine house H519 , and my maids H2803 , count [H8799] H2114 me for a stranger [H8801] H5237 : I am an alien H5869 in their sight.

16 H7121 I called [H8804] H5650 my servant H6030 , and he gave me no answer [H8799] H2603 ; I intreated [H8691] H1119 him with H6310 my mouth.

17 H7307 My breath H2114 is strange [H8804] H802 to my wife H2589 , though I intreated [H8800] H1121 for the children's H990 sake of mine own body.

18 H5759 Yea, young children H3988 despised [H8804] H6965 me; I arose [H8799] H1696 , and they spake [H8762] against me.

19 H5475 All my inward H4962 friends H8581 abhorred [H8765] H157 me: and they whom I loved [H8804] H2015 are turned [H8738] against me.

20 H6106 My bone H1692 cleaveth [H8804] H5785 to my skin H1320 and to my flesh H4422 , and I am escaped [H8691] H5785 with the skin H8127 of my teeth.

21 H2603 Have pity [H8798] H2603 upon me, have pity [H8798] H7453 upon me, O ye my friends H3027 ; for the hand H433 of God H5060 hath touched [H8804] me.

22 H7291 Why do ye persecute [H8799] H410 me as God H7646 , and are not satisfied [H8799] H1320 with my flesh?

23 H5414 Oh that [H8799] H4405 my words H645 were now H3789 written [H8735] H5414 ! oh that [H8799] H2710 they were printed [H8714] H5612 in a book!

24 H2672 That they were graven [H8735] H1270 with an iron H5842 pen H5777 and lead H6697 in the rock H5703 for ever!

25 H3045 For I know [H8804] H1350 that my redeemer [H8802] H2416 liveth H6965 , and that he shall stand [H8799] H314 at the latter H6083 day upon the earth:

26 H310 And though after H5785 my skin H5362 worms destroy [H8765] H1320 this body, yet in my flesh H2372 shall I see [H8799] H433 God:

27 H2372 Whom I shall see [H8799] H5869 for myself, and mine eyes H7200 shall behold [H8804] H2114 , and not another [H8801] H3629 ; though my reins H3615 be consumed [H8804] H2436 within me.

28 H559 But ye should say [H8799] H7291 , Why persecute [H8799] H8328 we him, seeing the root H1697 of the matter H4672 is found [H8738] in me?

29 H1481 Be ye afraid [H8798] H2719 of the sword H2534 : for wrath H5771 bringeth the punishments H6440 of H2719 the sword H3045 , that ye may know [H8799] H1779 there is a judgment [H8675] H1779 .

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ To this Job replied, ² How long will you make my soul sorrowful? You are indeed destroying me with words. Know at least; because the Lord hath dealt thus with me; ³ you speak against me; without shame you fall upon me. ⁴ Take it for granted that I have erred [though my error remaineth with myself] in speaking words which I ought not: and that my words are erroneous and unseasonable: but granted also, ⁵ That you magnify yourselves against me, and insult me with reproach. ⁶ Know then, That it is the Lord who hath terrified me, and raised his bulwark against me. ⁷ Behold I laugh at reproach; I will not speak; I will cry aloud, There is no judgment. ⁸ I am fenced about and cannot get out. Before me he hath placed darkness. ⁹ He hath stripped me of my glory, and hath taken the crown from my head. ¹⁰ He broke me on every side and I fled: and he hath cut down my hope like a tree. ¹¹ When he exercised great wrath against me, and counted me as an enemy: ¹² With one consent his troops fell upon me; they who were in ambush beset my ways. ¹³ My brethren stood aloof from me, they acknowledged strangers rather than me; and my friends were not compassionate. ¹⁴ My nearest relations paid me no attention: and they who knew my name forgot me. ¹⁵ As for my domesticks and maid servants, in their view I was a stranger. ¹⁶ When I called my servant, he did not answer me. ¹⁷ When with my mouth I entreated and supplicated my wife, and called affectionately the children of my concubines: ¹⁸ they renounced me forever. When I insist, they speak against me. ¹⁹ They who saw me, abhorred me; and they whom I loved rose up against me. ²⁰ The flesh next my skin became rotten, and my bones begin to be corroded. ²¹ Pity me, pity me, O my friends, for the hand of the Lord hath touched me. ²² Why do you persecute me as the Lord doth, and are not satisfied with my flesh? ²³ O that my words were written and recorded in a book forever! ²⁴ That they were engraven with a graver of iron on lead, or on rocks! ²⁵ For I know that he is eternal, ²⁶ who is about to dissolve me on earth, to raise again this skin of mine which draweth up these things. ²⁷ For from the Lord those things have been done to me, of which I alone am conscious; which mine eyes have seen, and no other; and which have all been done to me in my bosom. ²⁸ Now if you will say, What shall we say against him? And what ground of accusation shall we find in him? ²⁹ Stand in awe, I beseech you, of the developing scene; for wrath will come upon the unrighteous, and it shall then be known, where their filthiness is.

Webster⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Then Job answered and said, ² How long will ye vex my soul, and break me in pieces with words? ³ These ten times have ye reproached me: ye are not ashamed that ye make yourselves strange to me. ⁴ And be it indeed that I have erred, my error remaineth with myself. ⁵ If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, and plead against me my reproach: ⁶ Know now that God hath overthrown me, and hath encompassed me with his net. ⁷ Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloud, but there is no judgment. ⁸ He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set darkness in my paths. ⁹ He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head. ¹⁰ He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am gone: and my hope hath he removed like a tree. ¹¹ He hath also kindled his wrath against me, and he counteth me to him as one of his enemies. ¹² His troops come together, and raise up their way against me, and encamp around my tabernacle. ¹³ He hath put my brethren far from me, and my acquaintance are verily estranged from me. ¹⁴ My kinsmen have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me. ¹⁵ They that dwell in my house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight. ¹⁶ I called my servant, and he gave me no answer; I entreated him with my mouth. ¹⁷ My breath is strange to my wife, though I entreated for the children's sake of my own body. ¹⁸ Yes, young children despised me; I arose, and they spoke against me. ¹⁹ All my intimate friends abhorred me: and they whom I loved are turned against me. ²⁰ My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I have escaped with the skin of my teeth. ²¹ Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me. ²² Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh? ²³ Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book! ²⁴ That they were graven with an iron pen in lead, in the rock for ever! ²⁵ For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he will stand at the latter day upon the earth: ²⁶ And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: ²⁷ Whom I shall see for myself, and my eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me. ²⁸ But ye would say, Why persecute we him, seeing the root of the matter is found in me? ²⁹ Be ye afraid of the sword: for wrath bringeth the punishments of the sword, that ye may know there is a judgment.

1 H347 Then Job H6030 [H8799] answered H559 [H8799] and said,

2 H3013 [H8686] How long will ye vex H5315 my soul H1792 [H8762] , and break H4405 me in pieces with words?

3 H6235 These ten H6471 times H3637 [H8686] have ye reproached H954 [H8799] me: ye are not ashamed H1970 [H8686] that ye make yourselves strange to me.

4 H551 And be it indeed H7686 [H8804] that I have erred H4879 , my error H3885 [H8799] remaineth with myself.

5 H551 If indeed H1431 [H8686] ye will magnify H3198 [H8686] yourselves against me, and plead H2781 against me my reproach:

6 H3045 [H8798] Know H645 now H433 that God H5791 [H8765] hath overthrown H5362 [H8689] me, and hath surrounded H4686 me with his net.

7 H6817 [H8799] Behold, I cry out H2555 of wrong H6030 [H8735] , but I am not heard H7768 [H8762] : I cry aloud H4941 , but there is no judgment.

8 H1443 [H8804] He hath fenced up H734 my way H5674 [H8799] that I cannot pass H7760 [H8799] , and he hath set H2822 darkness H5410 in my paths.

9 H6584 [H8689] He hath stripped H3519 me of my glory H5493 [H8686] , and taken H5850 the crown H7218 from my head.

10 H5422 [H8799] He hath destroyed H5439 me on every side H3212 [H8799] , and I am gone H8615 : and my hope H5265 [H8686] hath he removed H6086 like a tree.

11 H2734 [H8686] He hath also kindled H639 his wrath H2803 [H8799] against me, and he counteth H6862 me to him as one of his enemies.

12 H1416 His troops H935 [H8799] come H3162 together H5549 [H8799] , and raise up H1870 their way H2583 [H8799] against me, and encamp H5439 around H168 my tent.

13 H7368 0 He hath put H251 my brethren H7368 [H8689] far H3045 [H8802] from me, and my acquaintance H2114 [H8804] are verily estranged from me.

14 H7138 My kinsmen H2308 [H8804] have failed H3045 [H8794] , and my familiar friends H7911 [H8804] have forgotten me.

15 H1481 [H8802] They that dwell H1004 in my house H519 , and my maids H2803 [H8799] , count H2114 [H8801] me for a stranger H5237 : I am an alien H5869 in their sight.

16 H7121 [H8804] I called H5650 my servant H6030 [H8799] , and he gave me no answer H2603 [H8691] ; I entreated H1119 him with H6310 my mouth.

17 H7307 My breath H2114 [H8804] is strange H802 to my wife H2589 [H8800] , though I make supplication H1121 to the children H990 of my own body.

18 H5759 Yea, young children H3988 [H8804] despised H6965 [H8799] me; I arose H1696 [H8762] , and they spoke against me.

19 H5475 All my close H4962 friends H8581 [H8765] abhorred H157 [H8804] me: and they whom I loved H2015 [H8738] are turned against me.

20 H6106 My bone H1692 [H8804] cleaveth H5785 to my skin H1320 and to my flesh H4422 [H8691] , and I have escaped H5785 with the skin H8127 of my teeth.

21 H2603 [H8798] Have pity H2603 [H8798] upon me, have pity H7453 upon me, O ye my friends H3027 ; for the hand H433 of God H5060 [H8804] hath touched me.

22 H7291 [H8799] Why do ye persecute H410 me as God H7646 [H8799] , and are not satisfied H1320 with my flesh?

23 H5414 [H8799] O that H4405 my words H645 were now H3789 [H8735] written H5414 [H8799] ! O that H2710 [H8714] they were printed H5612 in a book!

24 H2672 [H8735] That they were engraved H1270 with an iron H5842 pen H5777 in lead H6697 in the rock H5703 for ever!

25 H3045 [H8804] For I know H1350 [H8802] that my redeemer H2416 liveth H6965 [H8799] , and that he shall stand H314 at the latter H6083 day upon the earth:

26 H310 And though after H5785 my skin H5362 [H8765] worms destroy H1320 this body, yet in my flesh H2372 [H8799] shall I see H433 God:

27 H2372 [H8799] Whom I shall see H5869 for myself, and my eyes H7200 [H8804] shall behold H2114 [H8801] , and not another H3629 ; though my reins H3615 [H8804] be consumed H2436 within me.

28 H559 [H8799] But ye should say H7291 [H8799] , Why persecute H8328 we him, seeing the root H1697 of the matter H4672 [H8738] is found in me?

29 H1481 [H8798] Be ye afraid H2719 of the sword H2534 : for wrath H5771 bringeth the punishments H6440 of H2719 the sword H3045 [H8799] , that ye may know H1779 H1779 [H8675] there is a judgment.

Brenton⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Then Job answered and said, ² How long will ye vex my soul, and destroy me with words? only know that the Lord has dealt with me thus. ³ Ye speak against me; ye do not feel for me, but bear hard upon me. ⁴ Yea verily, I have erred in truth, (but the error abides with myself) ^(19:4A) in having spoken words which it was not right to speak; and my words err, and are unreasonable. ⁵ But alas! for ye magnify yourselves against me, and insult me with reproach. ⁶ Know then that it is the Lord that has troubled me, and has raised his bulwark against me. ⁷ Behold, I laugh at reproach; I will not speak: or I will cry out, but there is nowhere judgment. ⁸ I am fenced round about, and can by no means escape: he has set darkness before my face. ⁹ And he has stripped me of my glory, and has taken the crown from my head. ¹⁰ He has torn me around about, and I am gone: and he has cut off my hope like a tree. ¹¹ And he has dreadfully handled me in anger, and has counted me for an enemy. ¹² His troops also came upon me with one accord, liars in wait compassed my ways. ¹³ My brethren have stood aloof from me; they have recognized strangers rather than me: and my friends have become pitiless. ¹⁴ My nearest of kin have not acknowledged me, and they that knew my name, have forgotten me. ¹⁵ As for my household, and my maid-servants, I was a stranger before them. ¹⁶ I called my servant, and he hearkened not; and my mouth intreated him. ¹⁷ And I besought my wife, and earnestly intreated the sons of my concubines. ¹⁸ But they rejected me for ever; whenever I rise up, they speak against me. ¹⁹ They that saw me abhorred me: the very persons whom I had loved, rose up against me. ²⁰ My flesh is corrupt under my skin, and my bones are held in my teeth. ²¹ Pity me, pity me, O friends; for it is the hand of the Lord that has touched me. ²² Wherefore do ye persecute me as also the Lord does, and are not satisfied with my flesh? ²³ For oh that my words were written, and that they were recorded in a book forever, ²⁴ with an iron pen and lead, or graven in the rocks! ²⁵ For I know that he is eternal who is about to deliver me, ²⁶ and to raise up upon the earth my skin that endures these sufferings: for these things have been accomplished to me of the Lord; ²⁷ which I am conscious of in myself, which mine eye has seen, and not another, but all have been fulfilled to me in my bosom. ²⁸ But if ye shall also say, What shall we say before him, and so find the root of the matter in him? ²⁹ Do ye also beware of deceit: for wrath will come upon transgressors; and then shall they know where their substance is.

Brenton_Greek⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Ἰὼβ, λέγει,
² Ἕως τίνος ἔγκοπον ποιήσετε ψυχήν μου, καὶ καθαιρεῖτέ με λόγοις; γνῶτε μόνον ὅτι ὁ Κύριος ἐποίησέ με οὕτως. ³ Καταλαλεῖτέ μου, οὐκ αἰσχυνόμενοί με ἐπίκεισθέ μοι. ⁴ Ναὶ δὴ ἐπʼ ἀληθείας ἐγὼ ἐπλανήθην, παρʼ ἐμοὶ δὲ αὐλίζεται πλάνος· λαλῆσαι ῥήματα ἃ οὐκ ἔδει, τὰ δὲ ῥήματά μου πλανᾶται καὶ οὐκ ἐπὶ καιροῦ. ⁵ Ἔα δὲ, ὅτι ἐπʼ ἐμοὶ μεγαλύνεσθε, ἐνάλλεσθε δέ μοι ὀνείδει. ⁶ Γνῶτε οὖν ὅτι Κύριός ἐστιν ὁ ταράξας, ὀχύρωμα δὲ αὐτοῦ ἐπʼ ἐμὲ ὕψωσεν. ⁷ Ἰδοὺ γελῶ ὀνείδει, οὐ λαλήσω· κεκράξομαι, καὶ οὐδαμοῦ κρίμα. ⁸ Κύκλῳ περιῳκοδόμημαι, καὶ οὐ μὴ διαβῶ· ἐπὶ πρόσωπόν μου σκότος ἔθετο. ⁹ Τὴν δὲ δόξαν ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ ἐξέδυσεν, ἀφεῖλε δὲ στέφανον ἀπὸ κεφαλῆς μου. ¹⁰ Διέσπασέ με κύκλῳ καὶ ᾠχόμην, ἐξέκοψε δὲ ὥσπερ δένδρον τὴν ἐλπίδα μου. ¹¹ Δεινῶς δέ μοι ὀργῇ ἐχρήσατο, ἡγήσατο δέ με ὥσπερ ἐχθρόν. ¹² Ὁμοθυμαδὸν δὲ ἦλθον τὰ πειρατήρια αὐτοῦ ἐπʼ ἐμοί, ταῖς ὁδοῖς μου ἐκύκλωσαν ἐγκάθετοι.
¹³ Ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ ἀδελφοί μου ἀπέστησαν, ἔγνωσαν ἀλλοτρίους ἢ ἐμέ· φίλοι δέ μου ἀνελεήμονες γεγόνασιν. ¹⁴ Οὐ προσεποιήσαντό με οἱ ἐγγύτατοί μου, καὶ οἱ εἰδότες μου τὸ ὄνομα ἐπελάθοντό μου. ¹⁵ Γείτονες οἰκίας, θεράπαιναί τέ μου, ἀλλογενὴς ἤμην ἐναντίον αὐτῶν. ¹⁶ Θεράποντά μου ἐκάλεσα, καὶ οὐχ ὑπήκουσε· στόμα δέ μου ἐδέετο. ¹⁷ Καὶ ἱκέτευον τὴν γυναῖκά μου, προσεκαλούμην δὲ κολακεύων υἱοὺς παλλακίδων μου. ¹⁸ Οἱ δὲ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνά με ἀπεποιήσαντο, ὅταν ἀναστῶ, κατʼ ἐμοῦ λαλοῦσιν. ¹⁹ Ἐβδελύξαντό με οἱ ἰδόντες με· οὓς δὴ ἠγαπήκειν, ἐπανέστησάν μοι. ²⁰ Ἐν δέρματί μου ἐσάπησαν αἱ σάρκες μου, τὰ δὲ ὀστᾶ μου ἐν ὀδοῦσιν ἔχεται. ²¹ Ἐλεήσατέ με, ἐλεήσατέ με, ὦ φίλοι, χεὶρ γὰρ Κυρίου ἡ ἁψαμένη μού ἐστι. ²² Διατί με διώκετε ὥσπερ καὶ ὁ Κύριος; ἀπὸ δὲ σαρκῶν μου οὐκ ἐμπίπλασθε;
²³ τίς γὰρ ἂν δοίη γραφῆναι τὰ ῥήματά μου, τεθῆναι δὲ αὐτὰ ἐν βιβλίῳ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, ²⁴ ἐν γραφείῳ σιδηρῷ καὶ μολίβῳ, ἢ ἐν πέτραις ἐγγλυφῆναι; ²⁵ Οἶδα γὰρ ὅτι ἀένναός ἐστιν ὁ ἐκλύειν με μέλλων, ἐπὶ γῆς ²⁶ ἀναστήσει τὸ δέρμα μου τὸ ἀναντλοῦν ταῦτα· παρὰ γὰρ Κυρίου ταῦτά μοι συνετελέσθη, ²⁷ ἃ ἐγὼ ἐμαυτῷ συνεπίσταμαι, ἃ ὁ ὀφθαλμός μου ἑώρακε, καὶ οὐκ ἄλλος, πάντα δέ μοι συντετέλεσθαι ἐν κόλπῳ.
²⁸ Εἰ δὲ καὶ ἐρεῖτε, τί ἐροῦμεν ἔναντι αὐτοῦ, καὶ ρίζαν λόγου εὑρήσομεν ἐν αὐτῷ; ²⁹ Εὐλαβήθητε δὴ καὶ ὑμεῖς ἀπὸ ἐπικαλύμματος, θυμὸς γὰρ ἐπʼ ἀνόμους ἐπελεύσεται· καὶ τότε γνώσονται, ποῦ ἐστιν αὐτῶν ἡ ὕλη.

Leeser⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Then answered Job, and said, ² How long will ye grieve my soul, and crush me with words? ³ These ten times have ye reproached me: ye are not ashamed when ye show yourselves as strangers to me. ⁴ Yea, if it be indeed that I have erred, let my error remain with myself. ⁵ But if indeed ye wish to magnify yourselves above me, and to prove against me my disgrace: ⁶ Then know for certain that God hath bent me down, and hath laid his net all around me. ⁷ Behold, I cry out concerning the violence done me, but I am not answered: I entreat aloud, but there is no justice. ⁸ My road hath he fenced up, so that I cannot pass out; and on my paths he placeth darkness. ⁹ My glory hath he stripped from me, and removed the crown of my head. ¹⁰ He hath pulled me down on every side, and I am going hence; and he hath rooted up like a tree my hope. ¹¹ He hath also kindled against me his wrath, and he counteth me with himself as one of his adversaries. ¹² Altogether come on his troops, and make level against me their way, and encamp round about my tent. ¹³ My brothers hath he removed far from me, and my acquaintance are entirely estranged from me. ¹⁴ My near of kin have withdrawn, and those befriended by me have forgotten me. ¹⁵ Ye that sojourn in my house, and my maid-servants, regard me as a stranger: an alien am I become in their eyes. ¹⁶ I call for my servant, but he will not answer, though I were to entreat him with my mouth. ¹⁷ My breath is become nauseous to my wife, and my caressing, to the children of my own body. ¹⁸ Yea, children even despise me: I rise up, but they speak against me. ¹⁹ All that have had my confidence abominate me; and those whom I have loved are turned against me. ²⁰ To my skin and to my flesh my bones do cleave, and I must sustain myself with the gums of my teeth. ²¹ Spare me, spare me, O ye, my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me. ²² Why will ye persecute me as God hath done, and will never be satisfied with my flesh? ²³ Oh who would but grant, that my words might be written down! oh who would grant that they were entered in a book! ²⁴ That they were hewn with an iron pen and blackened with lead for eternity in the hard rock! ²⁵ And well I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he will remain as the last after the creatures of the dust are passed away; ²⁶ And after my skin is cut to pieces will this be: and then freed from my body shall I behold God; ²⁷ Whom I shall myself behold to my happiness, and whom my eyes will see, and not as a stranger, when even my reins are consumed within my bosom. ²⁸ But if ye should say, How will we pursue him? seeing the root of the matter is found in me: ²⁹ Then have dread for yourselves of the sword; for the wrath which ye excite is an iniquity that bringeth the sword; in order that ye may know there is one that judgeth in the world.

YLT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Job answereth and saith: — ² Till when do ye afflict my soul, And bruise me with words? ³ These ten times ye put me to shame, ye blush not. Ye make yourselves strange to me— ⁴ And also—truly, I have erred, With me doth my error remain. ⁵ If, truly, over me ye magnify yourselves, And decide against me my reproach; ⁶ Know now, that God turned me upside down, And His net against me hath set round, ⁷ Lo, I cry out—violence, and am not answered, I cry aloud, and there is no judgment.
⁸ My way He hedged up, and I pass not over, And on my paths darkness He placeth. ⁹ Mine honour from off me He hath stripped, And He turneth the crown from my head. ¹⁰ He breaketh me down round about, and I go, And removeth like a tree my hope. ¹¹ And He kindleth against me His anger, And reckoneth me to Him as His adversaries. ¹² Come in do His troops together, And they raise up against me their way, And encamp round about my tent. ¹³ My brethren from me He hath put far off, And mine acquaintances surely Have been estranged from me. ¹⁴ Ceased have my neighbours And my familiar friends have forgotten me, ¹⁵ Sojourners of my house and my maids, For a stranger reckon me: An alien I have been in their eyes. ¹⁶ To my servant I have called, And he doth not answer, With my mouth I make supplication to him. ¹⁷ My spirit is strange to my wife, And my favours to the sons of my mother's womb. ¹⁸ Also sucklings have despised me, I rise, and they speak against me. ¹⁹ Abominate me do all the men of my counsel, And those I have loved, Have been turned against me. ²⁰ To my skin and to my flesh Cleaved hath my bone, And I deliver myself with the skin of my teeth. ²¹ Pity me, pity me, ye my friends, For the hand of God hath stricken against me. ²² Why do you pursue me as God? And with my flesh are not satisfied?
²³ Who doth grant now, That my words may be written? Who doth grant that in a book they may be graven? ²⁴ With a pen of iron and lead—For ever in a rock they may be hewn. ²⁵ That—I have known my Redeemer, The Living and the Last, For the dust he doth rise. ²⁶ And after my skin hath compassed this body, Then from my flesh I see God: ²⁷ Whom I—I see on my side, And mine eyes have beheld, and not a stranger, Consumed have been my reins in my bosom. ²⁸ But ye say, `Why do we pursue after him?' And the root of the matter hath been found in me. ²⁹ Be ye afraid because of the sword, For furious are the punishments of the sword, That ye may know that there is a judgment.

JuliaSmith⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Job will answer and say, ² How long will ye, grieve my soul, and crush me with words? ³ These ten times ye will reproach me: ye will not be ashamed, ye will injure me. ⁴ If indeed I erred my error will lodge with me. ⁵ If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, and prove against me my reproach: ⁶ Know ye now that God subverted me; and he folded his net about me. ⁷ Behold, I shall cry violence, and shall I not be answered: I shall cry for help, and no judgment ⁸ He walled up my path and I shall not pass, and he will set darkness upon my beaten paths. ⁹ And he put off from me my honor, and he removed the crown of my head. ¹⁰ He will lay me waste round about, and I shall go: and he will remove my hope as a tree. ¹¹ And he will kindle his anger against me, and he will reckon me to him as his enemy. ¹² His troops shall come together and raise up their way against me, and they will encamp round about to my tent ¹³ He removed my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance truly turned aside from me. ¹⁴ My kindred ceased, and they acquainted with me forgot me. ¹⁵ They sojourning in my house and my maids, mill reckon me for a stranger: I was a foreigner in their eyes. ¹⁶ I called to my servant and he will not answer; I shall entreat him with my mouth. ¹⁷ My spirit was loathsome to my wife, and I entreated to the sons of my belly. ¹⁸ Also children rejected me; I shall arise, and they will speak against me. ¹⁹ All the men of my intimacy will abhor me, and those I loved were turned against me. ²⁰ My bone cleaved to my skin and to my flesh, and I shall escape with the skin of my teeth. ²¹ Pity me, pity me, ye my friends, for the hand of God touched upon me. ²² Why will ye pursue me as God, and will ye not be satisfied from my flesh? ²³ Who will give now, and my words shall be written? who will give and they shall be delineated in a book?. ²⁴ They shall be cut in the rock with a style of iron and lead, forever. ²⁵ And I knew he redeeming me lived, and at last he shall rise up upon the dust: ²⁶ And after they destroyed my skin, this, and from my flesh I shall see God: ²⁷ Which I shall see for myself, and mine eyes beheld, and not a stranger: my reins were finished in my bosom. ²⁸ For ye shall say, Why shall we pursue after him and the root of the word was found in me? ²⁹ And fear ye to yourselves, from the face of the sword? for wrath the iniquities of the sword, so that ye shall know there is judgment

Darby⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Job answered and said, ² How long will ye vex my soul, and crush me with words? ³ These ten times have ye reproached me; ye are not ashamed to stupefy me. ⁴ And be it [that] I have erred, mine error remaineth with myself. ⁵ If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, and prove against me my reproach, ⁶ Know now that +God hath overthrown me, and hath surrounded me with his net. ⁷ Behold, I cry out of wrong, and I am not heard; I cry aloud, but there is no judgment. ⁸ He hath hedged up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set darkness in my paths. ⁹ He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head. ¹⁰ He breaketh me down on every side, and I am gone; and my hope hath he torn up as a tree. ¹¹ And he hath kindled his anger against me, and hath counted me unto him as one of his enemies. ¹² His troops have come together and cast up their way against me, and have encamped round about my tent. ¹³ He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are quite estranged from me. ¹⁴ My kinsfolk have failed, and my known friends have forgotten me. ¹⁵ The sojourners in my house and my maids count me as a stranger; I am an alien in their sight. ¹⁶ I called my servant, and he answered not; I entreated him with my mouth. ¹⁷ My breath is strange to my wife, and my entreaties to the children of my [mother`s] womb. ¹⁸ Even young children despise me; I rise up, and they speak against me. ¹⁹ All my intimate friends abhor me, and they whom I loved are turned against me. ²⁰ My bones cleave to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth. ²¹ Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, ye my friends; for the hand of +God hath touched me. ²² Why do ye persecute me as ?God, and are not satisfied with my flesh? ²³ Oh would that my words were written! oh that they were inscribed in a book! ²⁴ That with an iron style and lead they were graven in the rock for ever! ²⁵ And [as for] me, I know that my Redeemer liveth, and the Last, he shall stand upon the earth; ²⁶ And [if] after my skin this shall be destroyed, yet from out of my flesh shall I see +God; ²⁷ Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another: -- my reins are consumed within me. ²⁸ If ye say, How shall we persecute him? when the root of the matter is found in me, ²⁹ Be ye yourselves afraid of the sword! for the sword is fury against misdeeds, that ye may know there is a judgment.

ERV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Then Job answered and said, ² How long will ye vex my soul and break me in pieces with words? ³ These ten times have ye reproached me: ye are not ashamed that ye deal hardly with me. ⁴ And be it indeed that I have erred, mine error remaineth with myself. ⁵ If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, and plead against me my reproach: ⁶ Know now that God hath subverted me [in my cause], and hath compassed me with his net. ⁷ Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry for help, but there is no judgment. ⁸ He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and hath set darkness in my paths. ⁹ He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head. ¹⁰ He hath broken me down on every side, and I am gone: and mine hope hath he plucked up like a tree. ¹¹ He hath also kindled his wrath against me, and he counteth me unto him as [one of] his adversaries. ¹² His troops come on together, and cast up their way against me, and encamp round about my tent. ¹³ He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are wholly estranged from me. ¹⁴ My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me. ¹⁵ They that dwell in mine house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight. ¹⁶ I call unto my servant, and he giveth me no answer, [though] I entreat him with my mouth. ¹⁷ My breath is strange to my wife, and my supplication to the children of my [mother’s] womb. ¹⁸ Even young children despise me; if I arise, they speak against me. ¹⁹ All my inward friends abhor me: and they whom I loved are turned against me. ²⁰ My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth. ²¹ Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me. ²² Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh? ²³ Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were inscribed in a book! ²⁴ That with an iron pen and lead they were graven in the rock for ever! ²⁵ But I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand up at the last upon the earth: ²⁶ And after my skin hath been thus destroyed, yet from my flesh shall I see God: ²⁷ Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another.

ASV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Then Job answered and said, ² How long will ye vex my soul,

Ye are not ashamed that ye deal hardly with me. ⁴ And be it indeed that I have erred,
Mine error remaineth with myself. ⁵ If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me,

1 H347 Then Job H6030 answered H559 and said,

2 H3013 How long will ye vex H5315 my soul, H1792 And break H4405 me in pieces with words?

3 H6235 These ten H6471 times H3637 have ye reproached H954 me: Ye are not ashamed H1970 that ye deal hardly with me.

4 H551 And be it indeed H7686 that I have erred, H4879 Mine error H3885 remaineth with myself.

5 H551 If indeed H1431 ye will magnify H3198 yourselves against me, And plead H2781 against me my reproach;

6 H3045 Know H645 now H433 that God H5791 hath subverted H5362 me in my cause, And hath compassed H4686 me with his net.

7 H6817 Behold, I cry out H2555 of wrong, H6030 but I am not heard: H7768 I cry H4941 for help, but there is no justice.

8 H1443 He hath walled up H734 my way H5674 that I cannot pass, H7760 And hath set H2822 darkness H5410 in my paths.

9 H6584 He hath stripped H3519 me of my glory, H5493 And taken H5850 the crown H7218 from my head.

10 H5422 He hath broken H5439 me down on every side, H3212 and I am gone; H8615 And my hope H5265 hath he plucked H6086 up like a tree.

11 H2734 He hath also kindled H639 his wrath H2803 against me, And he counteth H6862 me unto him as one of his adversaries.

12 H1416 His troops H935 come H3162 on together, H5549 And cast up H1870 their way H2583 against me, And encamp H5439 round about H168 my tent.

13 H7368 He hath put H251 my brethren H7368 far H3045 from me, And mine acquaintance H2114 are wholly estranged from me.

14 H7138 My kinsfolk H2308 have failed, H3045 And my familiar friends H7911 have forgotten me.

15 H1481 They that dwell H1004 in my house, H519 and my maids, H2803 count H2114 me for a stranger; H5237 I am an alien H5869 in their sight.

16 H7121 I call H5650 unto my servant, H6030 and he giveth me no answer, H2603 Though I entreat H1119 him with H6310 my mouth.

17 H7307 My breath H2114 is strange H802 to my wife, H2589 And my supplication H1121 to the children H990 of mine own mother.

18 H5759 Even young children H3988 despise H6965 me; If I arise, H1696 they speak against me.

19 H5475 All my familiar H4962 friends H8581 abhor H157 me, And they whom I loved H2015 are turned against me.

20 H6106 My bone H1692 cleaveth H5785 to my skin H1320 and to my flesh, H4422 And I am escaped H5785 with the skin H8127 of my teeth.

21 H2603 Have pity H2603 upon me, have pity H7453 upon me, O ye my friends; H3027 For the hand H433 of God H5060 hath touched me.

22 H7291 Why do ye persecute H410 me as God, H7646 And are not satisfied H1320 with my flesh?

23 H5414 Oh that H4405 my words H645 were now H3789 written! H5414 Oh that H2710 they were inscribed H5612 in a book!

24 H1270 That with an iron H5842 pen H5777 and lead H2672 They were graven H6697 in the rock H5703 for ever!

25 H3045 But as for me I know H1350 that my Redeemer H2416 liveth, H314 And at last H6965 he will stand H6083 up upon the earth:

26 H310 And after H5785 my skin, H5362 even this body, is destroyed, H1320 Then without my flesh H2372 shall I see H433 God;

27 H2372 Whom I, even I, shall see, H5869 on my side, And mine eyes H7200 shall behold, H2114 and not as a stranger. H3629 My heart H3615 is consumed H2436 within me.

28 H559 If ye say, H7291 How we will persecute H8328 him! And that the root H1697 of the matter H4672 is found in me;

29 H1481 Be ye afraid H2719 of the sword: H2534 For wrath H5771 bringeth the punishments H6440 of H2719 the sword, H3045 That ye may know H1779 there is a judgment.

JPS_ASV_Byz⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Then Job answered and said: ² How long will ye vex my soul, and crush me with words? ³ These ten times have ye reproached me; ye are not ashamed that ye deal harshly with me. ⁴ And be it indeed that I have erred, mine error remaineth with myself. ⁵ If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, and plead against me my reproach; ⁶ Know now that God hath subverted my cause, and hath compassed me with His net. ⁷ Behold, I cry out: 'Violence!' but I am not heard; I cry aloud, but there is no justice. ⁸ He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and hath set darkness in my paths. ⁹ He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head. ¹⁰ He hath broken me down on every side, and I am gone; and my hope hath He plucked up like a tree. ¹¹ He hath also kindled His wrath against me, and He counteth me unto Him as one of His adversaries. ¹² His troops come on together, and cast up their way against me, and encamp round about my tent. ¹³ He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are wholly estranged from me. ¹⁴ My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me. ¹⁵ They that dwell in my house, and my maids, count me for a stranger; I am become an alien in their sight. ¹⁶ I call unto my servant, and he giveth me no answer, though I entreat him with my mouth. ¹⁷ My breath is abhorred of my wife, and I am loathsome to the children of my tribe. ¹⁸ Even urchins despised me; if I arise, they speak against me. ¹⁹ All my intimate friends abhor me; and they whom I loved are turned against me. ²⁰ My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth. ²¹ Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me. ²² Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh? ²³ Oh that my words were now written!

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Then responded Job, and said:–– ² How long will ye grieve my soul? or crush me with words? ³ These ten times, have ye reviled me, Shameless ye wrong me. ⁴ And even if indeed I have erred, with myself lodgeth mine error. ⁵ If indeed, against me, ye must needs magnify yourselves, and plead, against me, my reproach. ⁶ Know, then, that, God, hath overthrown me, and, within his net, enclosed me. ⁷ Lo! I cry––out: Violence! but receive no answer, I cry aloud, but there is no vindication;
⁸ My way, hath he walled up, that I cannot pass, and, upon my paths, hath he made darkness rest; ⁹ My glory––from off me, hath he stripped, and hath removed the crown of my head; ¹⁰ He hath ruined me on every side, and I am gone, and he hath taken away––like a tree––my hope; ¹¹ Yea he hath kindled against me his anger, and accounted me towards him like unto his adversaries; ¹² Together, enter his troops and have cast up, against me, their mound, and have encamped all around my tent; ¹³ My Brethren––from beside me, hath he moved far away, and, mine acquaintance, are wholly estranged from me; ¹⁴ Failed me, have my near of kin, and, mine intimate acquaintances, have forgotten me; ¹⁵ Ye guests of my house and my maidens, A stranger, have ye accounted me, An alien, have I become in their eyes; ¹⁶ To mine own servant, I called, and he would not answer, With mine own mouth, I kept entreating him; ¹⁷ My breath, is strange to my wife, and I am loathsome to the sons of my own mother; ¹⁸ Even young children, despise me, I rise up, and they speak against me; ¹⁹ All the men of mine intimate circle abhor me, and, these whom I loved, have turned against me; ²⁰ Unto my skin and unto my flesh, have my bones cleaved, and I have escaped with the akin of my teeth. ²¹ Pity me! pity me! ye, my friends, for, the hand of GOD, hath stricken me! ²² Wherefore should ye persecute me as GOD? and, with my flesh, should not he satisfied?
²³ Oh, then, that my words, could be written, Oh that, in a record, they could be inscribed: ²⁴ That, with a stylus of iron and [with] lead, for all time––in the rock, they could be graven! ²⁵ But, I, know that, my redeemer, liveth, and, as the Last over [my] dust, will he arise; ²⁶ And, though, after my skin is struck off, this [followeth], yet, apart from my flesh, shall I see GOD: ²⁷ Whom, I myself, shall see, on my side, and, mine own eyes, [shall] have looked upon, and not those of a stranger. Exhausted are my deepest desires in my bosom! ²⁸ Surely ye should say––Why should we persecute him? seeing, the root of the matter, is found in me. ²⁹ Be ye afraid––on your part––of the face of the sword, because, wrath, [bringeth] the punishments of the sword, to the end ye may know the Almighty.

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ So Job answered and said: ² How long shall you afflict my soul And crush me with declarations? ³ These ten times have you criticized me; You are not ashamed that you ill-treat me. ⁴ Yet indeed, even if I truly have erred, My error would lodge in me. ⁵ If truly you would magnify yourselves over me And plead against me my reproach, ⁶ Know indeed that Eloah Himself has overturned me, And He has entrapped me with His weir. ⁷ Behold, I am crying of wrong, And I am still not being answered; I am imploring, Yet there is no judgment. ⁸ He has diked up my path, and I cannot pass; He settles darkness over my tracks. ⁹ My glory He has stripped from me, And He takes away the crown from my head. ¹⁰ He breaks me down round about, so that I go away, And He uproots my expectation like a tree. ¹¹ He heats up His anger against me, And to Himself He reckons me as one of His foes. ¹² His regiments come together And heap up their road against me, And they encamp round about my tent. ¹³ He has put my brothers far from me, And my acquaintances have surely estranged themselves from me. ¹⁴ My near kinsmen have shunned me, And my acquaintances have forgotten me. ¹⁵ The sojourners in my house and my maidservants reckon me as an alien; I have become a foreigner in their eyes. ¹⁶ I call to my servant, yet he does not answer; With my mouth I supplicate to him. ¹⁷ My scent has become alien to my wife, And my supplicating foreign to the sons of my belly. ¹⁸ Even youngsters have rejected me; I rise up, and they speak against me. ¹⁹ All men of my council abhor me, And those I have liked are turned against me. ²⁰ My bones cling to my skin and my flesh, And I escape only with the skin of my teeth. ²¹ Be gracious to me! be gracious to me, you, my associates! For the hand of Eloah has touched me. ²² Why are you pursuing me like El And are not satisfied with my flesh? ²³ O that indeed my declarations were written down! O that they were delineated in a scroll, ²⁴ With iron pen and lead, That they should be hewn in rock for the future!" ²⁵ Yet as for me, I know my Redeemer is living, And after this He shall arise on the soil;" ²⁶ And behind my skin I will stand erect, And from my flesh I shall perceive Eloah, ²⁷ Whom I shall perceive for myself, And my own eyes will see, Him and not an alien. My innermost being is exhausted in my bosom, ²⁸ If you are saying, How may we pursue him? And:The root of the matter is found in him, ²⁹ Shrink for yourselves from the presence of the sword (For your fury is like depravities of the sword) That you may know what adjudication is.

BBE⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Job made answer and said, ² How long will you make my life bitter, crushing me with words? ³ Ten times now you have made sport of me; it gives you no sense of shame to do me wrong. ⁴ And, truly, if I have been in error, the effect of my error is only on myself. ⁵ If you make yourselves great against me, using my punishment as an argument against me, ⁶ Be certain that it is God who has done me wrong, and has taken me in his net. ⁷ Truly, I make an outcry against the violent man, but there is no answer: I give a cry for help, but no one takes up my cause. ⁸ My way is walled up by him so that I may not go by: he has made my roads dark. ⁹ He has put off my glory from me, and taken the crown from my head. ¹⁰ I am broken down by him on every side, and I am gone; my hope is uprooted like a tree. ¹¹ His wrath is burning against me, and I am to him as one of his haters. ¹² His armies come on together, they make their road high against me, and put up their tents round mine. ¹³ He has taken my brothers far away from me; they have seen my fate and have become strange to me. ¹⁴ My relations and my near friends have given me up, and those living in my house have put me out of their minds. ¹⁵ I am strange to my women-servants, and seem to them as one from another country. ¹⁶ At my cry my servant gives me no answer, and I have to make a prayer to him. ¹⁷ My breath is strange to my wife, and I am disgusting to the offspring of my mother's body. ¹⁸ Even young children have no respect for me; when I get up their backs are turned on me. ¹⁹ All the men of my circle keep away from me; and those dear to me are turned against me. ²⁰ My bones are joined to my skin, and I have got away with my flesh in my teeth. ²¹ Have pity on me, have pity on me, O my friends! for the hand of God is on me. ²² Why are you cruel to me, like God, for ever saying evil against me? ²³ If only my words might be recorded! if they might be put in writing in a book! ²⁴ And with an iron pen and lead be cut into the rock for ever! ²⁵ But I am certain that he who will take up my cause is living, and that in time to come he will take his place on the dust; ²⁶ And (UNTRANSLATED TEXT) without my flesh I will see God; ²⁷ Whom I will see on my side, and not as one strange to me. My heart is broken with desire. ²⁸ If you say, How cruel we will be to him! because the root of sin is clearly in him: ²⁹ Be in fear of the sword, for the sword is the punishment for such things, so that you may be certain that there is a judge.

MKJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Job answered and said, ² How long will you torment my soul and break me in pieces with words? ³ And this, ten times you have blamed me; you are not ashamed that you have wronged me. ⁴ And if indeed I have erred, my error remains with me. ⁵ If indeed you magnify yourself against me, and plead against me my misery, ⁶ know now that God has overthrown me, and His net has closed on me. ⁷ Behold, I cry out, Violence! And I am not answered. I cry aloud, but there is no justice. ⁸ He has fenced up my way so that I cannot pass, and He has set darkness in my paths. ⁹ He has stripped me of my glory, and has taken the crown from my head. ¹⁰ He has broken me on every side, and I am gone, and He has uprooted my hope like a tree. ¹¹ He has also kindled His wrath against me, and to Himself He counts me as His enemy. ¹² His troops come together and raise up their way against me, and camp around my tent. ¹³ He has put my brothers far from me, and my friends have truly turned away from me. ¹⁴ My people have fallen away, and my familiar friends have forgotten me. ¹⁵ Those who dwell in my house, and my slave-girls, count me as a stranger; I am a foreigner in their sight. ¹⁶ I called my servant, and he gave no answer; I must beg him with my mouth. ¹⁷ My breath is hated by my wife, and I must beg to the sons of my mother's womb. ¹⁸ Even young children despise me; I arise, and they speak against me. ¹⁹ All the men of my counsel detest me, even this one I loved has turned against me. ²⁰ My bone clings to my skin and to my flesh, and I have escaped with the skin of my teeth. ²¹ Have pity on me!

1 H347 Then Job H6030 answered H559 and said,

2 H3013 How long will you trouble H5315 my soul, H1792 and break H4405 me in pieces with words?

3 H6235 These ten H6471 times H3637 have you reproached H954 me: you are not ashamed H1970 that you make yourselves strange to me.

4 H551 And be it indeed H7686 that I have erred, H4879 my error H3885 remains with myself.

5 H551 If indeed H1431 you will magnify H3198 yourselves against me, and plead H2781 against me my reproach:

6 H3045 Know H645 now H433 that God H5791 has overthrown H5362 me, and has surrounded H4686 me with his net.

7 H6817 Behold, I cry out H2555 of wrong, H6030 but I am not heard: H7768 I cry aloud, H4941 but there is no judgment.

8 H1443 He has fenced up H734 my way H5674 that I cannot pass, H7760 and he has set H2822 darkness H5410 in my paths.

9 H6584 He has stripped H3519 me of my glory, H5493 and taken H5850 the crown H7218 from my head.

10 H5422 He has destroyed H5439 me on every side, H3212 and I am gone: H8615 and my hope H5265 has he removed H6086 like a tree.

11 H2734 He has also kindled H639 his wrath H2803 against me, and he counts H6862 me unto him as one of his enemies.

12 H1416 His troops H935 come H3162 together, H5549 and raise up H1870 their way H2583 against me, and encamp H5439 round about H168 my tabernacle.

13 H7368 He has put H251 my brothers H7368 far H3045 from me, and my acquaintance H2114 are truly estranged from me.

14 H7138 My kinsfolk H2308 have failed, H3045 and my familiar friends H7911 have forgotten me.

15 H1481 They that live H1004 in my house, H519 and my maids, H2803 count H2114 me for a stranger: H5237 I am an alien H5869 in their sight.

16 H7121 I called H5650 my servant, H6030 and he gave me no answer; H2603 I entreated H1119 him with H6310 my mouth.

17 H7307 My breath H2114 is strange H802 to my wife, H2589 though I entreated H1121 for the children's H990 sake of my own body.

18 H5759 Yes, young sons H3988 despised H6965 me; I arose, H1696 and they spoke against me.

19 H5475 All my inward H4962 friends H8581 abhorred H157 me: and they whom I loved H2015 are turned against me.

20 H6106 My bone H1692 cleaves H5785 to my skin H1320 and to my flesh, H4422 and I am escaped H5785 with the skin H8127 of my teeth.

21 H2603 Have pity H2603 upon me, have pity H7453 upon me, O you my friends; H3027 for the hand H433 of God H5060 has touched me.

22 H7291 Why do you persecute H410 me as God, H7646 and are not satisfied H1320 with my flesh?

23 H5414 Oh that H4405 my words H645 were now H3789 written! H5414 oh that H2710 they were printed H5612 in a book!

24 H2672 That they were engraved H1270 with an iron H5842 pen H5777 and lead H6697 in the rock H5703 for ever!

25 H3045 For I know H1350 that my redeemer H2416 lives, H6965 and that he shall stand H314 at the latter H6083 day upon the earth:

26 H310 And though after H5785 my skin H5362 worms destroy H1320 this body, yet in my flesh H2372 shall I see H433 God:

27 H2372 Whom I shall see H5869 for myself, and my eyes H7200 shall behold, H2114 and not another; H3629 though my reins H3615 be consumed H2436 inside me.

28 H559 But you should say, H7291 Why persecute H8328 we him, seeing the root H1697 of the matter H4672 is found in me?

29 H1481 Be you afraid H2719 of the sword: H2534 for wrath H5771 brings the punishments H6440 of H2719 the sword, H3045 that you may know H1779 there is a judgment.

EJ2000⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ ¶ And Job replied and said, ² How long will ye anguish my soul and break me in pieces with words? ³ These ten times ye have reproached me; are ye not ashamed to make yourselves strange to me? ⁴ And if indeed I have erred, my error shall remain with me. ⁵ If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me and reprove me of my reproach, ⁶ know now that God has overthrown me and has compassed me with his net. ⁷ Behold, I shall cry out that I have been wronged, and I shall not be heard; I shall cry aloud, and there shall be no judgment. ⁸ ¶ He has walled off my way and I shall not pass, and he has set darkness in my paths. ⁹ He has stripped me of my glory and taken the crown from my head. ¹⁰ He has pulled me up on every side, and I am dried up; he has caused my hope to pass like an uprooted tree. ¹¹ He has kindled his wrath against me, and he counted me unto him as one of his enemies. ¹² His troops came together and raised up their way over me and encamp round about my tent. ¹³ He has put my brethren far from me, and my acquaintances are verily estranged from me. ¹⁴ My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me. ¹⁵ Those that dwell in my house and my maids have counted me for a stranger; I was an alien in their sight. ¹⁶ I called my slave, and he gave me no answer; I intreated him with my mouth. ¹⁷ My spirit came to be strange to my wife, although I intreated her for the sons of my own body. ¹⁸ Even the young children despised me; as I arose, they spoke against me. ¹⁹ All my intimate friends abhorred me; and those whom I loved are turned against me. ²⁰ My bones cleave to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth. ²¹ Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God has touched me. ²² Why do ye persecute me as God and are not satisfied with my flesh? ²³ ¶ Oh, that my words were now written!

CAB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Then Job answered and said, ² How long will you torment my soul, and destroy me with words? Only know that the Lord has dealt with me thus. ³ You speak against me; you do not feel for me, but bear hard upon me. ⁴ Surely I have erred in truth, (but the error abides with myself) ^(19:4A) in having spoken words which it was not right to speak; and my words err, and are unreasonable. ⁵ But alas! For you magnify yourselves against me, and insult me with reproach. ⁶ Know then that it is the Lord that has troubled me, and has raised His bulwark against me. ⁷ Behold, I laugh at reproach; I will not speak: or I will cry out, but judgment is nowhere. ⁸ I am fenced round about, and can by no means escape: He has set darkness before my face. ⁹ And He has stripped me of my glory, and has taken the crown from my head. ¹⁰ He has torn me round about, and I am gone, and He has cut off my hope like a tree. ¹¹ And He has dreadfully handled me in anger, and has counted me for an enemy. ¹² His troops also came upon me with one accord, liars in wait compassed my ways. ¹³ My brothers have stood far from me; they have recognized strangers rather than me: and my friends have become pitiless. ¹⁴ My relatives have not acknowledged me, and they that knew my name have forgotten me. ¹⁵ As for my household, and my maidservants, I was a stranger before them. ¹⁶ I called my servant, but he gives no answer; and my mouth begged him. ¹⁷ And I besought my wife, and earnestly begged the sons of my concubines. ¹⁸ But they rejected me forever; whenever I rise up, they speak against me. ¹⁹ They that saw me abhorred me: the very persons whom I had loved, rose up against me. ²⁰ My flesh is corrupt under my skin, and my bones are held in my teeth. ²¹ Pity me, pity me, O my friends; for it is the hand of the Lord that has touched me. ²² Why do you persecute me as also the Lord does, and are not satisfied with my flesh? ²³ For oh that my words were written, and that they were recorded in a book forever, ²⁴ with an iron pen and lead, or engraved in the rocks! ²⁵ For I know that He is eternal who is about to deliver me, ²⁶ and to raise up upon the earth my skin that endures these sufferings: for these things have been accomplished to me of the Lord; ²⁷ which I am conscious of in myself, which my eye has seen, and not another, but all have been fulfilled to me in my bosom. ²⁸ But if you shall also say, What shall we say before him, and so find the root of the matter in him? ²⁹ Beware of deceit for yourselves; for wrath will come upon transgressors; and then shall they know where their substance is.

ISV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Job Responds to BildadIn response, Job said: ² “How long do you intend to keep torturing me and trying to break me by what you’re saying? ³ Ten times you’ve tried to humiliate me! You’re not ashamed to wrong me! ⁴ Even if it’s true that I’ve erred, my error only affects me. ⁵ If you really intend to vaunt yourselves over me, and make my problems the basis of your case against me, ⁶ then at least you must know that God has accused me of wrong, and trapped me with his net.”
⁷ Job Accuses God of Being Angry“Although I cried out ‘Violence!’ I received no answer; I cried for help, but there was no justice. ⁸ He blocked my path, so I cannot pass; and he turned out the lights on my pathways. ⁹ “He has stripped me of my honor; he has stolen the crown off my head! ¹⁰ He is breaking me down on every side, and now it’s too late for me; he has uprooted my hopes like a tree. ¹¹ His anger burns against me; he regards me as his adversary. ¹² His troops march in a column against me, erecting their siege ramps against me; they surround my tent.”
¹³ Job’s Family and Friends Abandoned Him“My brothers are alienated from me; my acquaintances are estranged; ¹⁴ my relatives have failed me; and my friends have abandoned me. ¹⁵ Those who live in my house— and my maidservants, too!— treat me like a stranger; they think I’m a foreigner. ¹⁶ “I call to my servant, but he doesn’t respond, even though I beg to him earnestly. ¹⁷ My wife says my breath stinks; even my children say I smell bad! ¹⁸ Even little children hate me; when I get up, they mock me. ¹⁹ My closest friends detest me; even the ones I love have turned against me. ²⁰ I’m a pile of skin and bones; I have barely escaped by the skin of my teeth.”
²¹ Job Pleads with His Friends“Be gracious to me, be gracious to me, my friends, because God’s hand has struck me. ²² Why are you chasing me, as God has been doing? Aren’t you satisfied that I’m sick? ²³ If only my words were written down; if only they were inscribed in a book ²⁴ using an iron stylus with lead for ink! Then they’d be engraved in rock forever. ²⁵ “As for me, I know that my Vindicator is alive; And he, the Last One, will take his stand on the soil. ²⁶ Even after my skin has been destroyed, clothed in my flesh I will see God, ²⁷ whom I will see for myself. My own eyes will look at him— there won’t be anyone else for me!— He is the culmination of my innermost desire.”
²⁸ Job Reminds His Friends of Judgment“When you’re thinking about asking yourselves, ‘How will we pursue him, since the root of the problem is with him?’ ²⁹ Make sure that you remain wary of God’s sword, for God’s wrath brings with it the sword of punishment, by which you’ll know there’s a judgment.”

LEB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Then* Job answered and said, ² "_⌊How long_⌋* will you* torment me* and crush me with words? ³ These ten times you* have disgraced me; you* are not ashamed that you* have attacked* me. ⁴ And what is more, if I have truly erred, my error remains with me. ⁵ If indeed you* must magnify yourselves against me, and you* must let my disgrace argue against me, ⁶ know then that God has wronged me and has surrounded me with his net. ⁷ "Look, I cry out, 'Violence!' but* I am not answered; I cry out, but* there is no justice. ⁸ He has walled up my way so that* I cannot pass; and he has set darkness upon my paths. ⁹ He has taken my glory from me, and he has removed the crown of* my head. ¹⁰ He has broken me down all around, and I am gone. And he has uprooted my hope like a tree, ¹¹ and he has kindled his wrath against me, and _⌊he has counted me as one of his foes_⌋.* ¹² His troops have come together and have thrown up their rampart* against me and have encamped around my tent. ¹³ "He has removed my kinsfolk from me, and my acquaintances have only* turned aside from me. ¹⁴ My relatives have failed, and my close friends have forgotten me. ¹⁵ The sojourners in* my house and my slave women count me as a stranger; I have become a foreigner in their eyes. ¹⁶ I call to my servant, but* he does not answer; I must _⌊personally_⌋* plead with him. ¹⁷ My breath is repulsive to my wife, and I am loathsome to _⌊my own family_⌋.* ¹⁸ Little boys also despise me; when I rise, then* they talk against me. ¹⁹ All _⌊my intimate friends_⌋* abhor me, and these whom I have loved have turned against me. ²⁰ My bones* cling to my skin and to my flesh, and I have escaped by the skin of my teeth. ²¹ "Pity me, pity me, you my friends, for God's hand has touched me. ²² Why do you* pursue me like God? And are not satisfied with my flesh? ²³ "_⌊O that_⌋* my words could be written down! _⌊O that they could be inscribed in a scroll_⌋!* ²⁴ That with a pen of iron and with lead they might be engraved on a rock forever! ²⁵ But* I myself* know that my redeemer is alive, and at the last he will stand up upon _⌊the earth_⌋.* ²⁶ And after my skin has been thus destroyed, but* from* my flesh I will see God, ²⁷ whom _⌊I will see for myself_⌋,* and whom my eyes will see and not a stranger.* _⌊My heart faints within me_⌋.* ²⁸ "If you* say, 'How will we persecute him?' And 'The root of the trouble is found' in me,* ²⁹ be afraid for yourselves _⌊because of the sword_⌋,* for wrath brings punishment by* the sword, so that you may know that there is judgment."

BSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Then Job answered: ² “How long will you torment me and crush me with your words? ³ Ten times now you have reproached me; you shamelessly mistreat me. ⁴ Even if I have truly gone astray, my error concerns me alone. ⁵ If indeed you would exalt yourselves above me and use my disgrace against me, ⁶ then understand that it is God who has wronged me and drawn His net around me. ⁷ Though I cry out, ‘Violence!’ I get no response; though I call for help, there is no justice. ⁸ He has blocked my way so I cannot pass; He has veiled my paths with darkness. ⁹ He has stripped me of my honor and removed the crown from my head. ¹⁰ He tears me down on every side until I am gone; He uproots my hope like a tree. ¹¹ His anger burns against me, and He counts me among His enemies. ¹² His troops advance together; they construct a ramp against me and encamp around my tent. ¹³ He has removed my brothers from me; my acquaintances have abandoned me. ¹⁴ My kinsmen have failed me, and my friends have forgotten me. ¹⁵ My guests and maidservants count me as a stranger; I am a foreigner in their sight. ¹⁶ I call for my servant, but he does not answer, though I implore him with my own mouth. ¹⁷ My breath is repulsive to my wife, and I am loathsome to my own family. ¹⁸ Even little boys scorn me; when I appear, they deride me. ¹⁹ All my best friends despise me, and those I love have turned against me. ²⁰ My skin and flesh cling to my bones; I have escaped by the skin of my teeth. ²¹ Have pity on me, my friends, have pity, for the hand of God has struck me. ²² Why do you persecute me as God does? Will you never get enough of my flesh? ²³ I wish that my words were recorded and inscribed in a book, ²⁴ by an iron stylus on lead, or chiseled in stone forever. ²⁵ But I know that my Redeemer lives, and in the end He will stand upon the earth. ²⁶ Even after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see God. ²⁷ I will see Him for myself; my eyes will behold Him, and not as a stranger. How my heart yearns within me! ²⁸ If you say, ‘Let us persecute him, since the root of the matter lies with him,’ ²⁹ then you should fear the sword yourselves, because wrath brings punishment by the sword, so that you may know there is a judgment.”

MSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Then Job answered: ² “How long will you torment me and crush me with your words? ³ Ten times now you have reproached me; you shamelessly mistreat me. ⁴ Even if I have truly gone astray, my error concerns me alone. ⁵ If indeed you would exalt yourselves above me and use my disgrace against me, ⁶ then understand that it is God who has wronged me and drawn His net around me. ⁷ Though I cry out, ‘Violence!’ I get no response; though I call for help, there is no justice. ⁸ He has blocked my way so I cannot pass; He has veiled my paths with darkness. ⁹ He has stripped me of my honor and removed the crown from my head. ¹⁰ He tears me down on every side until I am gone; He uproots my hope like a tree. ¹¹ His anger burns against me, and He counts me among His enemies. ¹² His troops advance together; they construct a ramp against me and encamp around my tent. ¹³ He has removed my brothers from me; my acquaintances have abandoned me. ¹⁴ My kinsmen have failed me, and my friends have forgotten me. ¹⁵ My guests and maidservants count me as a stranger; I am a foreigner in their sight. ¹⁶ I call for my servant, but he does not answer, though I implore him with my own mouth. ¹⁷ My breath is repulsive to my wife, and I am loathsome to my own family. ¹⁸ Even little boys scorn me; when I appear, they deride me. ¹⁹ All my best friends despise me, and those I love have turned against me. ²⁰ My skin and flesh cling to my bones; I have escaped by the skin of my teeth. ²¹ Have pity on me, my friends, have pity, for the hand of God has struck me. ²² Why do you persecute me as God does? Will you never get enough of my flesh? ²³ I wish that my words were recorded and inscribed in a book, ²⁴ by an iron stylus on lead, or chiseled in stone forever. ²⁵ But I know that my Redeemer lives, and in the end He will stand upon the earth. ²⁶ Even after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see God. ²⁷ I will see Him for myself; my eyes will behold Him, and not as a stranger.

MLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Then Job answered and said, ² How long will you* distress my soul and break me in pieces with words? ³ These ten times you* have reproached me. You* are not ashamed that you* deal hardly with me.
⁴ And be it indeed that I have erred, my error remains with myself.
⁵ If indeed you* will magnify yourselves against me and plead against me my reproach, ⁶ know now that God has subverted me and has encompassed me with his net.
⁷ Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard. I cry for help, but there is no justice.
⁸ He has walled up my way that I cannot pass and has set darkness in my paths. ⁹ He has stripped me of my glory and taken the crown from my head. ¹⁰ He has broken me down on every side and I have gone. And he has plucked up my hope like a tree. ¹¹ He has also kindled his wrath against me. And he considers me to him as his adversaries. ¹² His troops come on together and cast up their way against me and encamp all around my tent.
¹³ He has put my brothers far from me and my acquaintances are entirely estranged from me. ¹⁴ My kinsfolk have failed and my familiar friends have forgotten me. ¹⁵ Those who dwell in my house and my maids, reckon me for a stranger; I am an alien in their sight. ¹⁶ I call to my servant and he gives me no answer. I entreat him with my mouth. ¹⁷ My breath is strange to my wife and my supplication to the sons of my own mother.
¹⁸ Even young children despise me. If I arise, they speak against me. ¹⁹ All my familiar friends abhor me and those whom I loved are turned against me. ²⁰ My bone cleaves to my skin and to my flesh and I have escaped with the skin of my teeth.
²¹ Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O you* my friends, for the hand of God has touched me. ²² Why do you* persecute me as God and are not satisfied with my flesh?
²³ O that my words were now written! O that they were inscribed in a book, ²⁴ that they were engraved in the rock forever with an iron pen and lead!
²⁵ But as for me I know that my Redeemer lives and at last he will stand up upon the earth. ²⁶ And after my skin, this body, is destroyed, then outside my flesh I will see God, ²⁷ whom I, even I, will see on my side and my eyes will behold and not as a stranger. My heart is consumed within me.
²⁸ If you* say, How we will persecute him! And that the root of the matter is found in me, ²⁹ be you* afraid of the sword. For wrath brings the punishments of the sword, that you* may know there is a judgment.

VIN⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ To this Job replied, ² "How long will you torment me, and crush me with words? ³ These ten times, have ye reviled me, Shameless ye wrong me. ⁴ If it is true that I have erred, my error remains with myself. ⁵ If truly you magnify yourself against me, and plead my misery against me, ⁶ Know ye now that God subverted me; and he folded his net about me. ⁷ Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry for help, but there is no justice. ⁸ "God has blocked my path so that I cannot go on.

My acquaintances are wholly estranged from me. ¹⁴ My kinsmen have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me. ¹⁵ As for my household, and my maid-servants, I was a stranger before them. ¹⁶ I called my servant, but he does not answer; I must beg him with my mouth. ¹⁷ My breath is repulsive to my wife, and I am loathsome to my own family. ¹⁸ Even little children hate me; when I get up, they mock at me. ¹⁹ All my intimate friends abhor me, and they whom I loved are turned against me. ²⁰ I'm a pile of skin and bones; I have barely escaped by the skin of my teeth." ²¹ "Have pity on me, my friends!

9 H3519 Meine Ehre H5493 hat er H6584 mir ausgezogen H5850 , und weggenommen die Krone H7218 meines Hauptes .

10 H3212 Er H5422 hat H5439 mich niedergerissen ringsum, so daß ich vergehe, und H8615 hat meine Hoffnung H5265 ausgerissen H6086 wie einen Baum .

11 H639 Und seinen Zorn H2734 ließ er H6862 wider mich entbrennen, und achtete mich seinen Feinden gleich.

12 H935 Allzumal kamen H1870 seine Scharen und bahnten ihren Weg H2583 wider mich, und lagerten sich H5439 rings um H168 mein Zelt .

13 H251 Meine Brüder H3045 hat H7368 er von mir H7368 entfernt, und meine Bekannten sind mir ganz entfremdet.

14 H3045 Meine Verwandten bleiben aus, und meine Vertrauten haben H7911 mich vergessen .

15 H1481 Meine Hausgenossen H519 und meine Mägde H2803 achten H1004 mich für H2114 einen Fremden H5869 ; ein Ausländer bin ich in ihren Augen H5237 geworden .

16 H5650 Meinem Knechte H7121 rufe H6030 ich, und er antwortet H1119 nicht; mit H6310 meinem Munde H2603 muß ich zu ihm flehen .

17 H802 Mein Atem ist meinem Weibe H2114 zuwider H1121 , und mein übler Geruch den Kindern meiner Mutter.

18 H3988 Selbst Buben verachten H6965 mich; will ich aufstehen H1696 , so reden sie über mich.

19 H157 Alle meine Vertrauten verabscheuen mich, und die ich liebte H2015 , haben sich gegen mich gekehrt.

20 H6106 Mein Gebein H1692 klebt an H5785 meiner Haut H1320 und an meinem Fleische H5785 , und nur mit der Haut H8127 meiner Zähne H4422 bin ich entronnen .

21 H2603 Erbarmet euch H7453 meiner, erbarmet euch meiner, ihr meine Freunde H3027 ! Denn die Hand H433 Gottes H2603 hat mich angetastet.

22 H7291 Warum verfolget ihr H410 mich wie Gott H1320 , und werdet meines Fleisches H7646 nicht satt ?

23 H5414 O daß H4405 doch meine Worte H3789 aufgeschrieben H2710 würden H5414 ! O daß sie H5612 in ein Buch gezeichnet würden,

24 H5842 mit eisernem Griffel H5777 und Blei H6697 in den Felsen H5703 eingehauen auf ewig!

25 H3045 Und ich, ich weiß H1350 , daß mein Erlöser H2416 lebt H314 , und als der H6965 Letzte wird er auf H6083 der Erde stehen;

26 H5362 und ist H310 nach H5785 meiner Haut H2372 dieses da zerstört, so werde ich H1320 aus meinem Fleische H433 Gott anschauen,

27 H5869 welchen ich selbst mir anschauen, und den meine Augen H2372 sehen H7200 werden H3629 , und kein anderer: meine Nieren H3615 verschmachten in meinem Innern. -

28 H559 Wenn ihr H4672 saget: Wie wollen wir ihn H7291 verfolgen H8328 ? und daß die Wurzel H1697 der Sache in mir sich befinde,

29 H1481 so fürchtet euch H2719 vor dem Schwerte H2719 ! Denn das Schwert H2534 ist der Grimm H5771 über die Missetaten H6440 ; auf H3045 daß ihr H1779 wisset, daß ein Gericht ist.

DSV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Maar Job antwoordde en zeide: ² Hoe lang zult gijlieden mijn ziel bedroeven, en mij met woorden verbrijzelen? ³ Gij hebt nu tienmaal mij schande aangedaan; gij schaamt u niet, gij verhardt u tegen mij. ⁴ Maar ook het zij waarlijk, dat ik gedwaald heb, mijn dwaling zal bij mij vernachten. ⁵ Indien gijlieden waarlijk u verheft tegen mij, en mijn smaad tegen mij drijft; ⁶ Weet nu, dat God mij heeft omgekeerd, en mij met Zijn net omsingeld. ⁷ Ziet, ik roep, geweld! doch word niet verhoord; ik schreeuw, doch er is geen recht. ⁸ Hij heeft mijn weg toegemuurd, dat ik niet doorgaan kan, en over mijn paden heeft Hij duisternis gesteld. ⁹ Mijn eer heeft Hij van mij afgetrokken, en de kroon mijns hoofds heeft Hij weggenomen. ¹⁰ Hij heeft mij rondom afgebroken, zodat ik henenga, en heeft mijn verwachting als een boom weggerukt. ¹¹ Daartoe heeft Hij Zijn toorn tegen mij ontstoken, en mij bij Zich geacht als Zijn vijanden. ¹² Zijn benden zijn te zamen aangekomen, en hebben tegen mij haar weg gebaand, en hebben zich gelegerd rondom mijn tent. ¹³ Mijn broeders heeft Hij verre van mij gedaan; en die mij kennen, zekerlijk, zij zijn van mij vervreemd. ¹⁴ Mijn nabestaanden houden op, en mijn bekenden vergeten mij. ¹⁵ Mijn huisgenoten en mijn dienstmaagden achten mij voor een vreemde; een uitlander ben ik in hun ogen. ¹⁶ Ik riep mijn knecht, en hij antwoordde niet; ik smeekte met mijn mond tot hem. ¹⁷ Mijn adem is mijn huisvrouw vreemd; en ik smeek om der kinderen mijns buiks wil. ¹⁸ Ook versmaden mij de jonge kinderen; sta ik op, zo spreken zij mij tegen. ¹⁹ Alle mensen mijns heimelijken raads hebben een gruwel aan mij; en die ik liefhad, zijn tegen mij gekeerd. ²⁰ Mijn gebeente kleeft aan mijn huid en aan mijn vlees; en ik ben ontkomen met de huid mijner tanden. ²¹ Ontfermt u mijner, ontfermt u mijner, o gij, mijn vrienden! want de hand Gods heeft mij aangeraakt. ²² Waarom vervolgt gij mij als God, en wordt niet verzadigd van mijn vlees? ²³ Och, of nu mijn woorden toch opgeschreven wierden. Och, of zij in een boek ook wierden ingetekend! ²⁴ Dat zij met een ijzeren griffie en lood voor eeuwig in een rots gehouwen wierden! ²⁵ Want ik weet: mijn Verlosser leeft, en Hij zal de laatste over het stof opstaan; ²⁶ En als zij na mijn huid dit doorknaagd zullen hebben, zal ik uit mijn vlees God aanschouwen; ²⁷ Denwelken ik voor mij aanschouwen zal, en mijn ogen zien zullen, en niet een vreemde; mijn nieren verlangen zeer in mijn schoot. ²⁸ Voorwaar, gij zoudt zeggen: Waarom vervolgen wij hem? Nademaal de wortel der zaak in mij gevonden wordt. ²⁹ Schroomt u vanwege het zwaard; want de grimmigheid is over de misdaden des zwaards; opdat gij weet, dat er een gericht zij.

1 H347 Maar Job H6030 H8799 antwoordde H559 H8799 en zeide:

2 H575 Hoe H5704 lang H5315 zult gijlieden mijn ziel H3013 H8686 bedroeven H4405 , en mij met woorden H1792 H8762 verbrijzelen?

3 H2088 Gij hebt nu H6235 H6471 tienmaal H3637 H8686 mij schande aangedaan H954 H8799 ; gij schaamt u H3808 niet H1970 H8686 , gij verhardt u tegen mij.

4 H637 Maar ook H551 het zij waarlijk H7686 H8804 , dat ik gedwaald heb H4879 , mijn dwaling H854 zal bij H3885 H8799 mij vernachten.

5 H518 Indien H551 gijlieden waarlijk H1431 H8686 u verheft H5921 tegen H2781 mij, en mijn smaad H5921 tegen H3198 H8686 mij drijft;

6 H3045 H8798 Weet H645 nu H3588 , dat H433 God H5791 H8765 mij heeft omgekeerd H4686 , en mij [met] Zijn net H5362 H8689 H5921 omsingeld.

7 H2005 Ziet H6817 H8799 , ik roep H2555 , geweld H3808 ! doch word niet H6030 H8735 verhoord H7768 H8762 ; ik schreeuw H369 , doch er is geen H4941 recht.

8 H734 Hij heeft mijn weg H1443 H8804 toegemuurd H3808 , dat ik niet H5674 H8799 doorgaan kan H5921 , en over H5410 mijn paden H2822 heeft Hij duisternis H7760 H8799 gesteld.

9 H3519 Mijn eer H4480 H5921 heeft Hij van H6584 H8689 mij afgetrokken H5850 , en de kroon H7218 mijns hoofds H5493 H8686 heeft Hij weggenomen.

10 H5439 Hij heeft mij rondom H5422 H8799 afgebroken H3212 H8799 , zodat ik henenga H8615 , en heeft mijn verwachting H6086 als een boom H5265 H8686 weggerukt.

11 H639 Daartoe heeft Hij Zijn toorn H5921 tegen H2734 H8686 mij ontstoken H2803 H8799 , en mij bij Zich geacht H6862 als Zijn vijanden.

12 H1416 Zijn benden H3162 zijn te zamen H935 H8799 aangekomen H5921 , en hebben tegen H1870 mij haar weg H5549 H8799 gebaand H2583 H8799 , en hebben zich gelegerd H5439 rondom H168 mijn tent.

13 H251 Mijn broeders H4480 H5921 heeft Hij verre van H7368 H8689 mij gedaan H3045 H8802 ; en die mij kennen H389 , zekerlijk H4480 , zij zijn van H2114 H8804 mij vervreemd.

14 H7138 Mijn nabestaanden H2308 H8804 houden op H3045 H8794 , en mijn bekenden H7911 H8804 vergeten mij.

15 H1481 H8802 H1004 Mijn huisgenoten H519 en mijn dienstmaagden H2803 H8799 achten H2114 H8801 mij voor een vreemde H5237 ; een uitlander H1961 H8804 ben ik H5869 in hun ogen.

16 H7121 H8804 Ik riep H5650 mijn knecht H6030 H8799 , en hij antwoordde H3808 niet H2603 H8691 ; ik smeekte H1119 met H6310 mijn mond tot hem.

17 H7307 Mijn adem H802 is mijn huisvrouw H2114 H8804 vreemd H2589 H8800 ; en ik smeek H1121 om der kinderen H990 mijns buiks wil.

18 H1571 Ook H3988 H8804 versmaden H5759 mij de jonge kinderen H6965 H8799 ; sta ik op H1696 H8762 , zo spreken zij mij tegen.

19 H3605 Alle H4962 mensen H5475 mijns heimelijken raads H8581 H8765 hebben een gruwel H2088 aan mij; en die H157 H8804 ik liefhad H2015 H8738 , zijn tegen mij gekeerd.

20 H6106 Mijn gebeente H1692 H8804 kleeft H5785 aan mijn huid H1320 en aan mijn vlees H4422 H8691 ; en ik ben ontkomen H5785 met de huid H8127 mijner tanden.

21 H2603 H8798 Ontfermt u H2603 H8798 mijner, ontfermt u H859 mijner, o gij H7453 , mijn vrienden H3588 ! want H3027 de hand H433 Gods H5060 H8804 heeft mij aangeraakt.

22 H4100 Waarom H7291 H8799 vervolgt gij H3644 mij als H410 God H3808 , en wordt niet H7646 H8799 verzadigd H4480 van H1320 mijn vlees?

23 H4310 H5414 H8799 Och, of H645 nu H4405 mijn woorden H3789 H8735 toch opgeschreven wierden H4310 H5414 H8799 . Och, of H5612 zij in een boek H2710 H8714 ook wierden ingetekend!

24 H1270 Dat zij met een ijzeren H5842 griffie H5777 en lood H5703 voor eeuwig H6697 in een rots H2672 H8735 gehouwen wierden!

25 H589 Want ik H3045 H8804 weet H1350 H8802 : mijn Verlosser H2416 leeft H314 , en Hij zal de laatste H5921 over H6083 het stof H6965 H8799 opstaan;

26 H310 En als zij na H5785 mijn huid H2063 dit H5362 H8765 doorknaagd zullen hebben H4480 , zal ik uit H1320 mijn vlees H433 God H2372 H8799 aanschouwen;

27 H834 Denwelken H589 ik H2372 H8799 voor mij aanschouwen zal H5869 , en mijn ogen H7200 H8804 zien zullen H3808 , en niet H2114 H8801 een vreemde H3629 ; mijn nieren H3615 H8804 verlangen H2436 zeer in mijn schoot.

28 H3588 Voorwaar H559 H8799 , gij zoudt zeggen H4100 : Waarom H7291 H8799 vervolgen wij H8328 hem? Nademaal de wortel H1697 der zaak H4672 H8738 in mij gevonden wordt.

29 H1481 H8798 Schroomt u H4480 H6440 vanwege H2719 het zwaard H3588 ; want H2534 de grimmigheid H5771 is [over] de misdaden H2719 des zwaards H4616 ; opdat H3045 H8799 gij weet H1779 H8675 H1779 , dat er een gericht zij.

Giguet⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ ¶ Et Job reprenant dit: ² Jusqu’à quand fatiguerez-vous mon âme et me tuerez-vous de vos discours? ³ Sachez seulement que le Seigneur m’a traité de la sorte. Persuadez-moi, et ne vous attachez pas tant à me faire honte. ⁴ Dis-moi donc quelque chose que j’ignore, sans quoi je m’égarerai en mes réponses, et elles manqueront d’à propos. ⁵ Cessez, car vous vous grandissez pour m’assaillir, et vous m’accablez d’outrages. ⁶ Mais ne perdez donc pas de vue que c’est le Seigneur qui m’a troublé, et qu’il a élevé contre moi ses murailles. ⁷ De vos injures je ne ferais que rire, et je ne dirais mot; quand je crierais, je n’obtiendrais pas de jugement. ⁸ ¶ Mais des remparts m’étreignent et je ne puis les traverser, et l’obscurité règne devant moi. ⁹ Le Seigneur m’a ravi toute gloire, il a ôté la couronne que je portais sur la tête. ¹⁰ Il m’a tiraillé dans tous les sens et j’ai succombé; il a abattu comme un arbre toute mon espérance. ¹¹ Il a déployé contre moi une colère terrible; il m’a regardé comme un ennemi. ¹² Ses épreuves me sont venues toutes ensemble; ses embuscades étaient placées sur toutes mes voies. ¹³ Mes frères se sont éloignés; ils m’ont préféré des inconnus; mes amis n’ont eu aucune compassion. ¹⁴ Mes plus proches m’ont laissé sans soins; et ceux qui savaient mon nom l’ont oublié. ¹⁵ Mes voisins, les servantes de ma maison; je suis un étranger pour eux. ¹⁶ J’ai appelé mon serviteur, il n’est point venu; ma bouche est devenue suppliante. ¹⁷ J’ai imploré ma femme, j’ai demandé les fils de mes concubines en les flattant, ¹⁸ Ils m’ont répudié pour toujours; si je me relève, ils se récrient contre moi. ¹⁹ J’ai été pour eux un objet d’horreur pour ceux qui m’ont vu; j’ai pour ennemis ceux que j’avais aimés. ²⁰ Mes chairs sous ma peau pourrissent, mes os sont entre les dents qui les rongent. ²¹ Ayez pitié de moi, ayez pitié de moi, ô mes amis, car c’est la main du Seigneur qui m’a touché. ²² Pourquoi me poursuivez-vous comme me poursuit le Seigneur? Voulez-vous vous repaître de ma chair? ²³ ¶ ²⁴ ²⁵ ²⁶ ²⁷ ²⁸ ²⁹

DarbyFR⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹
Et Job répondit et dit: ² Jusques à quand affligerez-vous mon âme, et m'accablerez-vous de paroles? ³ Voilà dix fois que vous m'avez outragé, vous n'avez pas honte de m'étourdir. ⁴ Mais si vraiment j'ai erré, mon erreur demeure avec moi. ⁵ Si réellement vous voulez vous élever contre moi et faire valoir mon opprobre contre moi, ⁶ Sachez donc que c'est +Dieu qui me renverse et qui m'entoure de son filet. ⁷ Voici, je crie à la violence, et je ne suis pas exaucé; je pousse des cris, et il n'y a pas de jugement. ⁸
Il a fermé mon chemin et je ne puis passer, et il a mis des ténèbres sur mes sentiers; ⁹ Il m'a dépouillé de ma gloire et a ôté la couronne de dessus ma tête; ¹⁰ Il m'a détruit de tous côtés, et je m'en vais; il a arraché mon espérance comme un arbre. ¹¹ Il a allumé contre moi sa colère, et il m'a tenu pour l'un de ses ennemis. ¹² Ses troupes sont venues ensemble, et elles ont dressé en chaussée leur chemin contre moi et se sont campées autour de ma tente. ¹³ Il a éloigné de moi mes frères, et ceux de ma connaissance me sont devenus entièrement étrangers; ¹⁴ Mes proches m'ont délaissé, et ceux que je connaissais m'ont oublié. ¹⁵ Ceux qui séjournent dans ma maison et mes servantes me tiennent pour un étranger; je suis à leurs yeux comme un homme du dehors. ¹⁶ J'ai appelé mon serviteur, et il n'a pas répondu; de ma bouche je l'ai supplié. ¹⁷ Mon haleine est étrangère à ma femme, et ma supplication, aux fils du sein de ma mère. ¹⁸ Même les petits enfants me méprisent; je me lève, et ils parlent contre moi. ¹⁹ Tous les hommes de mon intimité m'ont en horreur, et ceux que j'aimais se sont tournés contre moi. ²⁰ Mes os s'attachent à ma peau et à ma chair, et j'ai échappé avec la peau de mes dents! ²¹ Ayez pitié de moi, ayez pitié de moi, vous mes amis! car la main de +Dieu m'a atteint. ²² Pourquoi, comme *Dieu, me poursuivez-vous et n'êtes-vous pas rassasiés de ma chair? ²³
Oh! si seulement mes paroles étaient écrites! si seulement elles étaient inscrites dans un livre, ²⁴ Avec un style de fer et du plomb, et gravées dans le roc pour toujours! ²⁵ Et moi, je sais que mon rédempteur est vivant, et que, le dernier, il sera debout sur la terre; ²⁶ Et après ma peau, ceci sera détruit, et de ma chair je verrai +Dieu, ²⁷ Que je verrai, moi, pour moi-même; et mes yeux le verront, et non un autre: -mes reins se consument dans mon sein. ²⁸ Si vous dites: Comment le poursuivrons-nous? et que la racine de la chose se trouve en moi, ²⁹ Tremblez pour vous-mêmes devant l'épée! car l'épée est l'instrument de la fureur contre les iniquités; afin que vous sachiez qu'il y a un jugement!

Martin⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Mais Job répondit, et dit : ² Jusqu'à quand affligerez-vous mon âme, et m'accablerez-vous de paroles ? ³ Vous avez déjà par dix fois tâché de me couvrir de confusion. N'avez-vous point honte de vous roidir ainsi contre moi ? ⁴ Mais quand il serait vrai que j'aurais péché, la faute serait pour moi. ⁵ Mais si absolument vous voulez parler avec hauteur contre moi, et me reprocher mon opprobre; ⁶ Sachez donc que c'est Dieu qui m'a renversé, et qui a tendu son filet autour de moi. ⁷ Voici je crie pour la violence qui m'est faite, et je ne suis point exaucé; je m'écrie, et il n'y a point de jugement. ⁸ Il a fermé son chemin, tellement que je ne saurais passer; et il a mis les ténèbres sur mes sentiers. ⁹ Il m'a dépouillé de ma gloire, il m'a ôté la couronne de dessus la tête. ¹⁰ Il m'a détruit de tous côtés, et je m'en vais; il a fait disparaître mon espérance comme celle d'un arbre que l'on arrache. ¹¹ Il s'est enflammé de colère contre moi, et m'a traité comme un de ses ennemis. ¹² Ses troupes sont venues ensemble, et elles ont dressé leur chemin contre moi, et se sont campées autour de ma tente. ¹³ Il a fait retirer loin de moi mes frères; et ceux qui me connaissaient se sont fort éloignés de moi. ¹⁴ Mes proches m'ont abandonné, et ceux que je connaissais m'ont oublié. ¹⁵ Ceux qui demeuraient dans ma maison et mes servantes, m'ont tenu pour un inconnu, et m'ont réputé comme étranger. ¹⁶ J'ai appelé mon serviteur, mais il ne m'a point répondu, quoique je l'aie supplié de ma propre bouche. ¹⁷ Mon haleine est devenue odieuse à ma femme; quoique je la supplie par les enfants de mon ventre. ¹⁸ Même les petits me méprisent, et si je me lève ils parlent contre moi. ¹⁹ Tous ceux à qui je déclarais mes secrets, m'ont en abomination; et tous ceux que j'aimais se sont tournés contre moi. ²⁰ Mes os sont attachés à ma peau et à ma chair, et il ne me reste d'entier que la peau de mes dents. ²¹ Ayez pitié de moi, ayez pitié de moi, vous mes amis; car la main de Dieu m'a frappé. ²² Pourquoi me poursuivez-vous comme le Dieu Fort me poursuit, sans pouvoir vous rassasier de ma chair ? ²³ Plût à Dieu que maintenant mes discours fussent écrits! Plût à Dieu qu'ils fussent gravés dans un livre; ²⁴ Avec une touche de fer, et sur du plomb, et qu'ils fussent taillés sur une pierre de roche à perpétuité! ²⁵ Car je sais que mon Rédempteur est vivant, et qu'il demeurera le dernier sur la terre. ²⁶ Et lorsqu'après ma peau ceci aura été rongé, je verrai Dieu de ma chair, ²⁷ Je le verrai moi-même, et mes yeux le verront, et non un autre. Mes reins se consument dans mon sein. ²⁸ Vous devriez plutôt dire : Pourquoi le persécutons-nous ? puisque le fondement de mes paroles se trouve en moi. ²⁹ Ayez peur de l'épée; car la fureur avec laquelle vous me persécutez, est du nombre des iniquités qui attirent l'épée; c'est pourquoi sachez qu'il y a un jugement.

Segond⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Job prit la parole et dit: ² Jusques à quand affligerez-vous mon âme, Et m'écraserez-vous de vos discours? ³ Voilà dix fois que vous m'outragez; N'avez-vous pas honte de m'étourdir ainsi? ⁴ Si réellement j'ai péché, Seul j'en suis responsable. ⁵ Pensez-vous me traiter avec hauteur? Pensez-vous démontrer que je suis coupable? ⁶ Sachez alors que c'est Dieu qui me poursuit, Et qui m'enveloppe de son filet. ⁷ Voici, je crie à la violence, et nul ne répond; J'implore justice, et point de justice! ⁸ Il m'a fermé toute issue, et je ne puis passer; Il a répandu des ténèbres sur mes sentiers. ⁹ Il m'a dépouillé de ma gloire, Il a enlevé la couronne de ma tête. ¹⁰ Il m'a brisé de toutes parts, et je m'en vais; Il a arraché mon espérance comme un arbre. ¹¹ Il s'est enflammé de colère contre moi, Il m'a traité comme l'un de ses ennemis. ¹² Ses troupes se sont de concert mises en marche, Elles se sont frayé leur chemin jusqu'à moi, Elles ont campées autour de ma tente. ¹³ Il a éloigné de moi mes frères, Et mes amis se sont détournés de moi; ¹⁴ Je suis abandonné de mes proches, Je suis oublié de mes intimes. ¹⁵ Je suis un étranger pour mes serviteurs et mes servantes, Je ne suis plus à leurs yeux qu'un inconnu. ¹⁶ J'appelle mon serviteur, et il ne répond pas; Je le supplie de ma bouche, et c'est en vain. ¹⁷ Mon humeur est à charge à ma femme, Et ma plainte aux fils de mes entrailles. ¹⁸ Je suis méprisé même par des enfants; Si je me lève, je reçois leurs insultes. ¹⁹ Ceux que j'avais pour confidents m'ont en horreur, Ceux que j'aimais se sont tournés contre moi. ²⁰ Mes os sont attachés à ma peau et à ma chair; Il ne me reste que la peau des dents. ²¹ Ayez pitié, ayez pitié de moi, vous, mes amis! Car la main de Dieu m'a frappé. ²² Pourquoi me poursuivre comme Dieu me poursuit? Pourquoi vous montrer insatiables de ma chair? ²³ Oh! je voudrais que mes paroles fussent écrites, Qu'elles fussent écrites dans un livre; ²⁴ Je voudrais qu'avec un burin de fer et avec du plomb Elles fussent pour toujours gravées dans le roc... ²⁵ Mais je sais que mon rédempteur est vivant, Et qu'il se lèvera le dernier sur la terre. ²⁶ Quand ma peau sera détruite, il se lèvera; Quand je n'aurai plus de chair, je verrai Dieu. ²⁷ Je le verrai, et il me sera favorable; Mes yeux le verront, et non ceux d'un autre; Mon âme languit d'attente au dedans de moi. ²⁸ Vous direz alors: Pourquoi le poursuivions-nous? Car la justice de ma cause sera reconnue. ²⁹ Craignez pour vous le glaive: Les châtiments par le glaive sont terribles! Et sachez qu'il y a un jugement.

17 H7307 Mon humeur H2114 est à charge H8804 H802 à ma femme H2589 , Et ma plainte H8800 H1121 aux fils H990 de mes entrailles.

18 H3988 Je suis méprisé H8804 H5759 même par des enfants H6965 ; Si je me lève H8799 H1696 , je reçois leurs insultes H8762 .

19 H5475 Ceux que j’avais pour confidents H4962 H8581 m’ont en horreur H8765 H157 , Ceux que j’aimais H8804 H2015 se sont tournés H8738 contre moi.

20 H6106 Mes os H1692 sont attachés H8804 H5785 à ma peau H1320 et à ma chair H4422 ; Il ne me reste H8691 H5785 que la peau H8127 des dents.

21 H2603 Ayez pitié H8798 H2603 , ayez pitié H8798 H7453 de moi, vous, mes amis H3027 ! Car la main H433 de Dieu H5060 m’a frappé H8804 .

22 H7291 Pourquoi me poursuivre H8799 H410 comme Dieu H7646 me poursuit ? Pourquoi vous montrer insatiables H8799 H1320 de ma chair ?

23 H5414 ¶ Oh H8799 H4405 ! je voudrais que mes paroles H3789 fussent écrites H8735 H645 H5414 , H8799 H2710 Qu’elles fussent écrites H8714 H5612 dans un livre ;

24 H5842 Je voudrais qu’avec un burin H6697 de fer H5777 et avec du plomb H5703 Elles fussent pour toujours H2672 gravées H8735 H1270 dans le roc …

25 H3045 Mais je sais H8804 H1350 que mon rédempteur H8802 H2416 est vivant H6965 , Et qu’il se lèvera H8799 H314 le dernier H6083 sur la terre.

26 H310 Quand H5785 ma peau H5362 sera détruite H8765 H1320 , il se lèvera ; Quand je n’aurai plus de chair H2372 , je verrai H8799 H433 Dieu.

27 H2372 Je le verrai H8799 H5869 , et il me sera favorable ; Mes yeux H7200 le verront H8804 H2114 , et non ceux d’un autre H8801 H3629 ; Mon âme H3615 languit H8804 H2436 d’attente au dedans de moi.

28 H559 Vous direz H8799 H7291 alors : Pourquoi le poursuivions H8799 H8328 -nous ? Car la justice H1697 de ma cause H4672 sera reconnue H8738 .

29 H1481 Craignez H8798 H2719 pour vous le glaive H5771 : Les châtiments H6440 par H2719 le glaive H2534 sont terribles H3045 ! Et sachez H8799 H1779 qu’il y a un jugement H8675 H1779 .

SE⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Y respondió Job, y dijo: ² ¿Hasta cuándo angustiaréis mi alma, y me moleréis con palabras? ³ Ya me habéis vituperado diez veces; ¿no os avergonzáis de descomediros delante de mí? ⁴ Sea así que realmente haya yo errado, conmigo se quedará mi yerro. ⁵ Mas si vosotros os engrandeciéreis contra mí, y redarguyeres mi oprobio contra mí, ⁶ sabed ahora que Dios me ha derribado, y me ha envuelto en su red. ⁷ He aquí yo clamaré agravio, y no seré oído; daré voces, y no habrá juicio. ⁸ Cercó de vallado mi camino, y no pasaré; y sobre mis veredas puso tinieblas. ⁹ Me quitó mi honra, y quitó la corona de mi cabeza. ¹⁰ Me arrancó por todos lados, y me sequé; y ha hecho pasar mi esperanza como árbol arrancado. ¹¹ E hizo inflamar contra mí su furor, y me contó para sí entre sus enemigos. ¹² Vinieron sus ejércitos a una, y trillaron sobre mí su camino, y asentaron campamento en derredor de mi tienda. ¹³ Hizo alejar de mí mis hermanos, y ciertamente mis conocidos se extrañaron de mí. ¹⁴ Mis parientes se detuvieron, y mis conocidos se olvidaron de mí. ¹⁵ Los moradores de mi casa y mis criadas me tuvieron por extraño; forastero fui yo en sus ojos. ¹⁶ Llamé a mi siervo, y no respondió; de mi propia boca le suplicaba. ¹⁷ Mi espíritu vino a ser extraño a mi mujer, aunque por los hijos de mis entrañas le rogaba. ¹⁸ Aun los muchachos me menospreciaron; levantándome, hablaban contra mí. ¹⁹ Todos mis íntimos amigos me aborrecieron; y los que yo amaba, se tornaron contra mí. ²⁰ Mi piel y mi carne se pegaron a mis huesos; y he escapado con la piel de mis dientes. ²¹ Oh vosotros mis amigos, tened compasión de mí, tened compasión de mí; porque la mano de Dios me ha tocado. ²² ¿Por qué me perseguís como Dios, y no os saciáis de mis carnes? ²³ Quién diese ahora que mis palabras fuesen escritas!

ReinaValera⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Y RESPONDIO Job, y dijo: ² ¿Hasta cuándo angustiaréis mi alma, Y me moleréis con palabras? ³ Ya me habéis vituperado diez veces: ¿No os avergonzáis de descomediros delante de mí? ⁴ Sea así que realmente haya yo errado, Conmigo se quedará mi yerro. ⁵ Mas si vosotros os engrandeciereis contra mí, Y adujereis contra mí mi oprobio, ⁶ Sabed ahora que Dios me ha trastornado, Y traído en derredor su red sobre mí. ⁷ He aquí yo clamaré agravio, y no seré oído: Daré voces, y no habrá juicio. ⁸ Cercó de vallado mi camino, y no pasaré; Y sobre mis veredas puso tinieblas. ⁹ Hame despojado de mi gloria, Y quitado la corona de mi cabeza. ¹⁰ Arruinóme por todos lados, y perezco; Y ha hecho pasar mi esperanza como árbol arrancado. ¹¹ E hizo inflamar contra mí su furor, Y contóme para sí entre sus enemigos. ¹² Vinieron sus ejércitos á una, y trillaron sobre mí su camino, Y asentaron campo en derredor de mi tienda. ¹³ Hizo alejar de mí mis hermanos, Y positivamente se extrañaron de mí mis conocidos. ¹⁴ Mis parientes se detuvieron, Y mis conocidos se olvidaron de mí. ¹⁵ Los moradores de mi casa y mis criadas me tuvieron por extraño; Forastero fuí yo en sus ojos. ¹⁶ Llamé á mi siervo, y no respondió; De mi propia boca le suplicaba. ¹⁷ Mi aliento vino á ser extraño á mi mujer, Aunque por los hijos de mis entrañas le rogaba. ¹⁸ Aun los muchachos me menospreciaron: En levantándome, hablaban contra mí. ¹⁹ Todos mis confidentes me aborrecieron; Y los que yo amaba, se tornaron contra mí. ²⁰ Mi cuero y mi carne se pegaron á mis huesos; Y he escapado con la piel de mis dientes. ²¹ Oh vosotros mis amigos, tened compasión de mí, tened compasión de mí; Porque la mano de Dios me ha tocado. ²² ¿Por qué me perseguís como Dios, Y no os hartáis de mis carnes? ²³ Quién diese ahora que mis palabras fuesen escritas!

Albanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Atëherë Jobi u përgjigj dhe tha: ² "Deri kur do të hidhëroni shpirtin tim dhe do të më mundoni me ligjëratat tuaja? ³ U bënë dhjetë herë që më përqeshni dhe nuk keni turp që më fyeni. ⁴ Edhe sikur të ishte e vërtetë që kam gabuar, gabimi im më përket vetëm mua. ⁵ Por në rast se doni pikërisht të bëheni kryelartë me mua duke më qortuar për objektin e turpit tim, ⁶ mësoni atëherë që Perëndia më ka trajtuar në mënyrë të padrejtë dhe më ka zënë në rrjetat e tij. ⁷ Ja, unë bërtas: "Dhunë!", por nuk kam asnjë përgjigje; bërtas për ndihmë, por drejtësi nuk ka! ⁸ Më ka prerë rrugën dhe kështu nuk mund të kaloj; përhapi terrin në rrugën time. ⁹ Më ka zhveshur nga nderi im dhe më ka hequr nga koka kurorën. ¹⁰ Më ka shkatërruar nga të gjitha anët dhe unë po shkoj; e ka shkulur si një dru shpresën time. ¹¹ Zemërimi i tij kundër meje është, ndezur dhe më konsideron si armik të tij. ¹² Ushtarët e tij kanë ardhur të gjithë së bashku dhe kanë ndërtuar rrugën e tyre kundër meje; kanë ngritur kampin e tyre rreth çadrës sime. ¹³ Ai ka larguar nga unë vëllezërit e mi, dhe të njohurit e mi janë bërë plotësisht të huaj me mua. ¹⁴ Farefisi im më ka braktisur dhe miqtë e mi të ngushtë më kanë harruar. ¹⁵ Shërbëtorët dhe shërbëtoret e mi më trajtojnë si një njeri të huaj, në sytë e tyre jam një i huaj. ¹⁶ Thërras shërbëtorin tim, por ai nuk përgjigjet; duhet t'i lutem me gojën time. ¹⁷ Fryma ime është e neveritshme për gruan time, dhe jam i neveritshëm edhe për fëmijët e barkut tim. ¹⁸ Edhe fëmijët më përçmojnë; në rast se provoj të ngrihem, flasin kundër meje. ¹⁹ Tërë miqtë më të ngushtë kanë lemeri prej meje, edhe ata që doja janë ngritur kundër meje. ²⁰ Kockat e mia i ngjiten lëkurës sime dhe mishit tim dhe nuk më ka mbetur veç se lëkura e dhëmbëve. ²¹ Mëshiromëni, mëshiromëni, të paktën ju, miqtë e mi, sepse dora e Perëndisë më ka goditur. ²² Pse më persekutoni si bën Perëndia dhe nuk ngopeni kurrë me mishin tim? ²³ Ah sikur fjalët e mia të ishin të shkruara; ah sikur të kishin zënë vend në një libër; ²⁴ sikur të ishin të gdhendura përjetë mbi një shkëmb me një stil prej hekuri dhe me plumb! ²⁵ Por unë e di që Shpëtimtari im jeton dhe që në fund do të ngrihet mbi tokë. ²⁶ Mbas shkatërrimit të lëkurës sime, në mishin tim do të shoh Perëndinë. ²⁷ Do ta shoh unë vetë; sytë e mi do ta sodisin, dhe jo një tjetër. Po më shkrihet zemra. ²⁸ Në rast se thoni: "Pse e persekutojmë?"; kur rrënja e këtyre të këqijave ndodhet tek unë, ²⁹ ju druani për veten tuaj shpatën, sepse zemërimi sjell ndëshkimin e shpatës, me qëllim që të dini që ekziston një gjykim".

RST⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ И отвечал Иов и сказал: ² доколе будете мучить душу мою и терзать меня речами? ³ Вот, уже раз десять вы срамили меня и не стыдитесь теснить меня. ⁴ Если я и действительно погрешил, то погрешность моя при мне остается. ⁵ Если же вы хотите повеличаться надо мною и упрекнуть меня позором моим, ⁶ то знайте, что Бог ниспроверг меня и обложил меня Своею сетью. ⁷ Вот, я кричу: обида! и никто не слушает; вопию, и нет суда. ⁸ Он преградил мне дорогу, и не могу пройти, и на стези мои положилтьму. ⁹ Совлек с меня славу мою и снял венец с головы моей. ¹⁰ Кругом разорил меня, и я отхожу; и, как дерево, Он исторг надежду мою. ¹¹ Воспылал на меня гневом Своим и считает меня между врагами Своими. ¹² Полки Его пришли вместе и направили путь свой ко мне и расположились вокруг шатра моего. ¹³ Братьев моих Он удалил от меня, и знающие меня чуждаются меня. ¹⁴ Покинули меня близкие мои, и знакомые мои забыли меня. ¹⁵ Пришлые в доме моем и служанки мои чужим считают меня; посторонним стал я в глазах их. ¹⁶ Зову слугу моего, и он не откликается; устами моими я должен умолять его. ¹⁷ Дыхание мое опротивело жене моей, и я должен умолять ее ради детей чрева моего. ¹⁸ Даже малые дети презирают меня: поднимаюсь, и они издеваются надо мною. ¹⁹ Гнушаются мною все наперсники мои, и те, которых я любил, обратились против меня. ²⁰ Кости мои прилипли к коже моей и плоти моей, и я остался только с кожею около зубов моих. ²¹ Помилуйте меня, помилуйте меня вы, друзья мои, ибо рука Божия коснулась меня. ²² Зачем и вы преследуете меня, как Бог, и плотью моею не можете насытиться? ²³ О, если бы записаны были слова мои! Если бы начертаны были они в книге ²⁴ резцом железным с оловом, – на вечное время на камне вырезаны были! ²⁵ А я знаю, Искупитель мой жив, и Он в последний день восставит изпраха распадающуюся кожу мою сию, ²⁶ и я во плоти моей узрю Бога. ²⁷ Я узрю Его сам; мои глаза, не глаза другого, увидят Его. Истаевает сердце мое в груди моей! ²⁸ Вам надлежало бы сказать: зачем мы преследуем его? Как будто корень зла найден во мне. ²⁹ Убойтесь меча, ибо меч есть отмститель неправды, и знайте, чтоесть суд.

Arabic⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ فاجاب ايوب وقال ² حتى متى تعذبون نفسي وتسحقونني بالكلام. ³ هذه عشر مرات اخزيتموني. لم تخجلوا من ان تحكروني. ⁴ وهبني ضللت حقا. عليّ تستقر ضلالتي. ⁵ ان كنتم بالحق تستكبرون عليّ فثبتوا عليّ عاري. ⁶ فاعلموا اذا ان الله قد عوّجني ولف عليّ احبولته. ⁷ ها اني اصرخ ظلما فلا أستجاب. ادعو وليس حكم. ⁸ قد حوّط طريقي فلا اعبر وعلى سبلي جعل ظلاما. ⁹ ازال عني كرامتي ونزع تاج راسي. ¹⁰ هدمني من كل جهة فذهبت. وقلع مثل شجرة رجائي. ¹¹ واضرم عليّ غضبه وحسبني كاعدائه. ¹² معا جاءت غزاته واعدّوا عليّ طريقهم وحلّوا حول خيمتي. ¹³ قد ابعد عني اخوتي. ومعارفي زاغوا عني. ¹⁴ اقاربي قد خذلوني والذين عرفوني نسوني. ¹⁵ نزلاء بيتي وامائي يحسبونني اجنبيا. صرت في اعينهم غريبا. ¹⁶ عبدي دعوت فلم يجب. بفمي تضرعت اليه. ¹⁷ نكهتي مكروهة عند امرأتي وخممت عند ابناء احشائي. ¹⁸ الاولاد ايضا قد رذلوني. اذا قمت يتكلمون عليّ. ¹⁹ كرهني كل رجالي والذين احببتهم انقلبوا عليّ. ²⁰ عظمي قد لصق بجلدي ولحمي ونجوت بجلد اسناني. ²¹ تراءفوا تراءفوا انتم عليّ يا اصحابي لان يد الله قد مسّتني. ²² لماذا تطاردونني كما الله ولا تشبعون من لحمي ²³ ليت كلماتي الآن تكتب. يا ليتها رسمت في سفر ²⁴ ونقرت الى الابد في الصخر بقلم حديد وبرصاص. ²⁵ اما انا فقد علمت ان وليّي حيّ والآخر على الارض يقوم ²⁶ وبعد ان يفنى جلدي هذا وبدون جسدي ارى الله ²⁷ الذي اراه انا لنفسي وعيناي تنظران وليس آخر. الى ذلك تتوق كليتاي في جوفي. ²⁸ فانكم تقولون لماذا نطارده. والكلام الاصلي يوجد عندي. ²⁹ خافوا على انفسكم من السيف لان الغيظ من آثام السيف. لكي تعلموا ما هو القضاء

Bulgarian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Тогава Йов отговори и каза: ² Докога ще измъчвате душата ми и с думи ще ме съкрушавате? ³ Вече десет пъти стана да ме укорявате, не се срамувате да ме обиждате. ⁴ И ако наистина съм съгрешил, грешката ми с мен остава. ⁵ Ако наистина ще се големеете против мен и ще хвърляте против мен позора ми, ⁶ знайте тогава, че Бог е изкривил правото ми и с мрежата Си ме е заобиколил. ⁷ Ето, аз викам: Неправда! — но няма кой да ме чуе; крещя за помощ, но няма правосъдие. ⁸ Той е преградил пътя ми, така че не мога да мина, и е сложил тъмнина в пътеките ми. ⁹ Съблякъл ме е от славата ми и е отнел венеца от главата ми. ¹⁰ Отвсякъде ме съкрушава и аз преминавам; и е изкоренил надеждата ми като дърво. ¹¹ Разпалил е и яростта Си против мен, счита ме като един от враговете Си. ¹² Полковете Му настъпват заедно и построяват пътя си срещу мен, разполагат се на стан около шатрата ми. ¹³ Отдалечил е от мен братята ми и познатите ми напълно се отчуждиха от мен. ¹⁴ Роднините ми ме оставиха и близките ми ме забравиха. ¹⁵ Домашните ми и слугините ми ме считат за чужд, в очите им съм чужденец. ¹⁶ Викам слугата си, но той не отговаря, моля го с устата си. ¹⁷ Дъхът ми е противен на жена ми и молбите ми — на децата на майчината ми утроба. ¹⁸ Дори и малките деца ме презират, ставам и те говорят против мен. ¹⁹ Всичките ми близки се отвращават от мен и онези, които обичам, се обърнаха против мен. ²⁰ Костите ми залепват за кожата ми и плътта ми, отървах се само с кожата на зъбите си. ²¹ Съжалете ме, съжалете ме, вие, приятели мои, защото Божията ръка до мен се допря! ²² Защо ме преследвате като Бог и не се насищате с плътта ми? ²³ О, да се напишеха думите ми! Да се запишеха в книга! ²⁴ Да бяха издълбани на скала навеки с желязна писалка и олово! ²⁵ Защото зная, че е жив Изкупителят ми, и че в последното време ще застане на земята. ²⁶ И след като изтлее кожата ми, пак от плътта си ще видя Бога, ²⁷ когото сам аз ще видя и моите очите ще гледат, но не като чужденец. Вътрешностите ми вътре в мен топят се. ²⁸ Като казвате: Как ще го гоним? — и че коренът на това се намира в мен — ²⁹ тогава бойте се от меча, защото гневът носи наказанието на меча, за да познаете, че има съд.

Croatian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Job progovori i reče: ² "TÓa dokle ćete mučit' dušu moju, dokle ćete me riječima satirat'? ³ Već deseti put pogrdiste mene i stid vas nije što me zlostavljate. ⁴ Pa ako sam zastranio doista, na meni moja zabluda ostaje. ⁵ Mislite li da ste me nadjačali i krivnju moju da ste dokazali? ⁶ Znajte: Bog je to mene pritisnuo i svojom me je on stegnuo mrežom. ⁷ Vičem: 'Nasilje!' - nema odgovora; vapijem - ali za me pravde nema. ⁸ Sa svih strana put mi je zagradio, sve staze moje u tminu zavio. ⁹ Slavu je moju sa mene skinuo, sa moje glave strgnuo je krunu. ¹⁰ Podsijeca me odasvud te nestajem; k'o drvo, nadu mi je iščupao. ¹¹ Raspalio se gnjev njegov na mene i svojim me drži neprijateljem. ¹² U bojnom redu pristižu mu čete, putove proti meni nasipaju, odasvud moj opkoljavaju šator. ¹³ Od mene su se udaljila braća, otuđili se moji poznanici. ¹⁴ Nestade bližnjih mojih i znanaca, gosti doma mog zaboraviše me. ¹⁵ Sluškinjama sam svojim kao stranac, neznanac sam u njihovim očima. ¹⁶ Slugu zovnem, a on ne odgovara i za milost ga moram zaklinjati. ¹⁷ Mojoj je ženi dah moj omrznuo, gadim se djeci vlastite utrobe. ¹⁸ I deranima na prezir tek služim, ako se dignem, rugaju se meni. ¹⁹ Pouzdanicima sam svojim mrzak, protiv mene su oni koje ljubljah. ²⁰ Kosti mi se za kožu prilijepiše, osta mi jedva koža oko zuba. ²¹ Smilujte mi se, prijatelji moji, jer Božja me je ruka udarila. ²² Zašto da me k'o Bog sam progonite, zar se niste moga nasitili mesa? ²³ O, kad bi se riječi moje zapisale i kad bi se u mjed tvrdu urezale; ²⁴ kad bi se željeznim dlijetom i olovom u spomen vječan u stijenu uklesale! ²⁵ Ja znadem dobro: moj Izbavitelj živi i posljednji će on nad zemljom ustati. ²⁶ A kad se probudim, k sebi će me dići: iz svoje ću puti tad vidjeti Boga. ²⁷ Njega ja ću kao svojega gledati, i očima mojim neće biti stranac: za njime srce mi čezne u grudima. ²⁸ Kad kažete: 'Kako ćemo ga goniti? Koji ćemo razlog protiv njega naći?', ²⁹ mača tad se bojte: grijehu mač je kazna. Saznat ćete tada da imade suda!"

BKR⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Tedy odpověděv Job, řekl: ² Dokudž trápiti budete duši mou, a dotírati na mne řečmi svými? ³ Již na desetkrát zhaněli jste mne, aniž se stydíte, že se zatvrzujete proti mně. ⁴ Ale nechť jest tak, že jsem zbloudil, při mně zůstane blud můj. ⁵ Jestliže se pak vždy proti mně siliti chcete, a obviňujíc mne, za pomoc sobě bráti proti mně potupu mou: ⁶ Tedy vězte, že Bůh podvrátil mne, a sítí svou otáhl mne. ⁷ Nebo aj, volám-li pro nátisk, nemám vyslyšení; křičím-li, není rozsouzení. ⁸ Cestu mou zapletl tak, abych nikoli projíti nemohl, a stezky mé temnostmi zastřel. ⁹ Slávu mou se mne strhl, a sňal korunu s hlavy mé. ¹⁰ Zpodvracel mne všudy vůkol, abych zahynul, a vyvrátil jako strom naději mou. ¹¹ Nadto zažžel proti mně prchlivost svou, a přičtl mne mezi nepřátely své. ¹² Pročež přitáhše houfové jeho, učinili sobě ke mně cestu, a vojensky se položili okolo stanu mého. ¹³ Bratří mé ode mne vzdálil, a známí moji všelijak se mne cizí. ¹⁴ Opustili mne příbuzní moji, a známí moji zapomenuli se na mne. ¹⁵ Podruhové domu mého a děvky mé za cizího mne mají, cizozemec jsem před očima jejich. ¹⁶ Na služebníka svého volám, ale neozývá se, i když ho ústy svými pěkně prosím. ¹⁷ Dýchání mého štítí se manželka má, ačkoli pokorně jí prosím, pro dítky života mého. ¹⁸ Nadto i ti nejšpatnější pohrdají mnou; i když povstanu, utrhají mi. ¹⁹ V ošklivost mne sobě vzali všickni rádcové moji, a ti, kteréž miluji, obrátili se proti mně. ²⁰ K kůži mé jako k masu mému přilnuly kosti mé, kůže při zubích mých toliko v cele zůstala. ²¹ Slitujte se nade mnou, slitujte se nade mnou, vy přátelé moji; nebo ruka Boží se mne dotkla. ²² Proč mi se protivíte tak jako Bůh silný, a masem mým nemůžte se nasytiti? ²³ Ó kdyby nyní sepsány byly řeči mé, ó kdyby v knihu vepsány byly, ²⁴ Anobrž rafijí železnou a olovem na věčnost na skále aby vyryty byly. ²⁵ Ačkoli já vím, že vykupitel můj živ jest, a že v den nejposlednější nad prachem se postaví. ²⁶ A ač by kůži mou i tělo červi zvrtali, však vždy v těle svém uzřím Boha. ²⁷ Kteréhož já uzřím sobě, a oči mé spatří jej, a ne jiný, jakkoli zhynula ledví má u vnitřnosti mé. ²⁸ Ješto byste říci měli: I pročež ho trápíme? poněvadž základ dobré pře při mně se nalézá. ²⁹ Bojte se meče, nebo pomsta za nepravosti jest meč, a vězte, žeť bude soud.

Danish⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Men Job svarede og sagde: ² Hvor længe ville I bedrøve min Sjæl og knuse mig med Ord? ³ I have nu ti Gange forhaanet mig, I skammede eder ikke ved at overdøve mig. ⁴ Og sandelig, om jeg end har faret vild, da bliver jo min Vildfarelse hos mig selv. ⁵ Dersom I virkelig vilde ophøje eder imod mig og overbevise mig om min Skam, ⁶ saa forstaar dog, at Gud har forvendt min Sag og har ladet sit Garn omringe mig. ⁷ Se, jeg raaber over Vold, og jeg faar ikke Svar jeg skriger, og der er ingen Ret. ⁸ Han satte Gærde for min Vej, at jeg ikke kan komme over, og han lagde Mørkhed over mine Stier. ⁹ Han afførte mig min Ære og bort tog mit Hoveds Krone. ¹⁰ Han nedbrød mig trindt omkring, og jeg for bort; han oprykkede mit Haab som et Træ; ¹¹ og han optændte sin Vrede imod mig og agtede mig over for sig som sine Fjender. ¹² Hans Tropper kom til Hobe og banede sig Vej imod mig, og de lejrede sig trindt omkring mit Telt. ¹³ Han fjernede mine Brødre fra mig, og de, som kende mig, holde sig aldeles fremmede for mig. ¹⁴ Mine nærmeste have forladt mig, og mine Kyndinge have, glemt mig. ¹⁵ De, som bo hos mig i mit Hus, og mine Tjenestepiger agte mig som en fremmed, jeg er bleven en Udlænding for deres Øjne. ¹⁶ Jeg kaldte ad min Tjener, og han svarede ikke; med egen Mund maatte jeg bede ham bønligt. ¹⁷ Min Aand er bleven fremmed for min Hustru og min Kærlighed for min Moders Sønner. ¹⁸ Endogsaa Børn foragte mig; staar jeg op, tale de imod mig. ¹⁹ Alle de Mænd, som vare i min Fortrolighed, have vederstyggelighed til mig, og de, som jeg elskede, have vendt sig imod mig. ²⁰ Mine Ben hænge ved min Hud og ved mit Kød, og jeg er netop undsluppen med mine Tænders Hud. ²¹ Forbarmer eder over mig, forbarmer eder over mig, I, mine Venner! thi Guds Haand har rørt mig. ²² Hvi forfølge I mig, ligesom Gud, og kunne ikke mættes af mit Kød? ²³ Gid dog mine Ord maatte blive opskrevne, gid de maatte blive prentede i en Bog, ²⁴ ja, maatte de med; en Jernstil og med Bly blive indhuggede i en Klippe til evig Tid! ²⁵ Og jeg ved, at min Genløser lever, og at han som den sidste skal. staa op over Støvet. ²⁶ Og naar min Hud, saaledes sønderslidt, er borte, og jeg er blottet for mit Kød, skal jeg skue Gud, ²⁷ hvem jeg skal skue som den, der er for mig, og hvem mine Øjne skulle se, og ikke en fremmed; mine Nyrer forsmægte i mit Indre. ²⁸ Naar I sige: Hvor skulle vi dog forfølge ham! - og Sagens Rod skal være funden i mig -. ²⁹ Da frygter for Sværdet; thi Vreden rammer Misgerninger, som fortjene Sværdet; paa det I skulle vide, at der er Dom til.

6 H645 就該 H3045 知道 H433 是神 H5791 傾覆 H4686 我，用網羅 H5362 圍繞我。

7 H2555 我因委曲 H6817 呼叫 H6030 ，卻不蒙應允 H7768 ；我呼求 H4941 ，卻不得公斷。

8 H1443 神用籬笆攔住 H734 我的道路 H5674 ，使我不得經過 H7760 ；又使 H5410 我的路徑 H2822 黑暗。

9 H6584 他剝去 H3519 我的榮光 H5493 ，摘去 H7218 我頭上 H5850 的冠冕。

10 H5439 他在四圍 H5422 攻擊 H3212 我，我便歸於死亡 H8615 ，將我的指望 H6086 如樹 H5265 拔出來。

11 H639 他的忿怒 H2734 向我發作 H2803 ，以我為 H6862 敵人。

Finnish⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Mutta Job vastasi ja sanoi: ² Kuinka kauvan te vaivaatte minun sieluani? ja runtelette minua sanoilla? ³ Te olette nyt kymmenen kertaa pilkanneet minua; ja ette häpee minua niin vaivata. ⁴ Jos minä erehdyn, niin minä itselleni erehdyn. ⁵ Mutta te tosin nousette minua vastaan, ja soimaatte minun pilkkaani. ⁶ Niin tietäkäät nyt, että Jumala hukuttaa minun, ja on piirittänyt minun verkkoihinsa. ⁷ Katso, ehkä minä vielä väkivallan tähden huutaisin, niin ei kuitenkaan kuulla minua: jos minä parkuisin, niin ei tässä ole oikeutta. ⁸ Hän on aidannat minun tieni, etten minä taida sitä käydä, ja pannut pimeyden minun poluilleni. ⁹ Hän on riisunut minun kunniani minulta, ja ottanut pois kruunun minun päästäni. ¹⁰ Hän on maahan kukistanut minun joka kulmalta, ja laskenut minun menemään; ja on reväissyt ylös minun toivoni niinkuin puun. ¹¹ Hän on hirmuisesti vihastunut minun päälleni, ja pitää minun vihamiehenänsä. ¹² Hänen sotajoukkonsa ovat kokoontuneet, ja asettaneet tiensä minua kohden, ja piirittäneet minun majani. ¹³ Hän on eroittanut minun veljeni kauvas minusta, ja minun tuttavani ovat minulle muukalaisiksi tulleet. ¹⁴ Minun lähimmäiseni piiloivat minua, ja minun ystäväni ovat unhottaneet minun. ¹⁵ Minun huonekuntalaiseni ja piikani pitävät minua vieraana, minä olen tuntemattomaksi tullut heidän silmäinsä edessä. ¹⁶ Minä huusin palveliaani, ja ei hän vastannut minua: minun täytyy rukoilla häntä omalla suullani. ¹⁷ Minun emäntäni vieroi minun henkeäni, ja minun täytyy palvella omia lapsiani. ¹⁸ Ja nuoretkin lapset minun katsovat ylön: jos minä nousen, niin he puhuvat minua vastaan. ¹⁹ Kaikki uskolliset ystäväni kauhistuvat minua; ja joita minä rakastin, ovat kääntäneet itsensä minua vastaan. ²⁰ Minun luuni tarttuivat minun nahkaani ja lihaani, ja en minä taida nahallani peittää hampaitani. ²¹ Armahtakaat minun päälleni, armahtakaat minun päälleni, te minun ystäväni! sillä Jumalan käsi on minuun sattunut! ²² Miksi te vainootte minua niinkuin Jumalakin, ja ette taida minun lihastani ravittaa? ²³ Jospa minun puheeni kirjoitettaisiin! jospa ne kirjaan pantaisiin, ja painettaisiin! ²⁴ Raudalla kaivettaisiin lyijy ijankaikkiseksi muistoksi kiveen. ²⁵ Sillä minä tiedän minun Lunastajani elävän: ja hän on tästälähin maan päällä seisova. ²⁶ Ja vaikka vihdoin minun nahkani ja tämä (ruumis) lakastuu, saan minä kuitenkin minun lihassani nähdä Jumalan. ²⁷ Hänen minä olen minulleni näkevä, ja minun silmäni katsovat häntä, ja ei kenkään outo. Minun munaskuuni ovat kuluneet minun helmassani. ²⁸ Tosin teidän pitäis sanoman: Miksi me vainoamme häntä? sillä tämän puheen perustus löytyy minun tykönäni. ²⁹ Peljätkäät siis miekkaa, sillä viha on pahain töiden kostomiekka, että te tietäisitte kurituksen tulevan.

FinnishPR⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Job vastasi ja sanoi: ² "Kuinka kauan te vaivaatte minun sieluani ja runtelette minua sanoillanne? ³ Jo kymmenenkin kertaa olette minua häväisseet, häpeämättä te minua rääkkäätte. ⁴ Olenko todella hairahtunut, yöpyykö hairahdukseni minun luonani? ⁵ Tahi voitteko todella ylvästellä minua vastaan ja todistaa minun ansainneen häpeäni? ⁶ Tietäkää siis, että Jumala on tehnyt minulle vääryyttä ja on kietonut minut verkkoonsa. ⁷ Katso, minä huudan: 'Väkivaltaa!' enkä saa vastausta; huudan apua, mutta ei ole mitään oikeutta. ⁸ Hän on aidannut tieni, niin etten pääse ylitse, ja on levittänyt pimeyden poluilleni. ⁹ Hän on riisunut minulta kunniani ja ottanut kruunun minun päästäni. ¹⁰ Hän repi minut maahan joka puolelta, niin että olen mennyttä, ja hän tempasi irti toivoni niinkuin puun. ¹¹ Hän päästi vihansa syttymään minua vastaan ja piti minua vihollisenansa. ¹² Hänen sotajoukkonsa tulivat yhdessä ja tekivät tiensä minua vastaan ja leiriytyivät minun majani ympärille. ¹³ Veljeni hän on minusta loitontanut; tuttavani ovat minusta aivan vieraantuneet. ¹⁴ Läheiseni ovat minusta luopuneet, ja uskottuni ovat unhottaneet minut. ¹⁵ Ne, jotka talossani majailevat, ja palvelijattareni pitävät minua muukalaisena, minä olen tullut vieraaksi heidän silmissään. ¹⁶ Minä kutsun palvelijaani, eikä hän vastaa; minun suuni täytyy nöyrästi rukoilla häntä. ¹⁷ Hengitykseni on vastenmielinen vaimolleni, hajuni on äitini pojista ilkeä. ¹⁸ Poikasetkin halveksivat minua; kun nousen, niin he puhuvat minusta pilkkojaan. ¹⁹ Kaikki seuratoverini inhoavat minua, ja ne, joita minä rakastin, ovat kääntyneet minua vastaan. ²⁰ Luuni ovat tarttuneet nahkaani, ihooni, eikä minusta ole enää kuin ikenet jäljellä. ²¹ Armahtakaa minua, armahtakaa, te, minun ystäväni, sillä Jumalan käsi on minuun koskenut. ²² Miksi vainoatte minua niinkuin Jumala, ettekä saa kylläänne minun lihastani? ²³ Oi, jospa minun sanani kirjoitettaisiin muistiin, jospa ne piirrettäisiin kirjaan, ²⁴ rautataltalla ja lyijyllä hakattaisiin kallioon ikuisiksi ajoiksi! ²⁵ Mutta minä tiedän lunastajani elävän, ja viimeisenä hän on seisova multien päällä. ²⁶ Ja sittenkuin tämä nahka on yltäni raastettu ja olen ruumiistani irti, saan minä nähdä Jumalan. ²⁷ Hänet olen minä näkevä apunani; minun silmäni saavat nähdä hänet-eikä vieraana. Munaskuuni hiukeavat sisimmässäni. ²⁸ Kun sanotte: 'Kuinka vainoammekaan häntä!' -minusta muka löydetään asian juuri- ²⁹ niin peljätkää miekkaa, sillä viha on kohtaava miekanalaisia pahoja töitä, tietääksenne, että tuomari on."

Li fè m' pèdi tout byen m'. ¹⁰ Li minen m' tout jan. M'ap deperi. Li wete tout espwa m'. Mwen tankou yon pyebwa yo derasinen. ¹¹ Bondye ankòlè nèt sou mwen.

Yo sènen m' anndan lakay mwen. ¹³ Bondye fè frè m' yo renka kò yo sou mwen. Zanmi m' yo kouri pou mwen. ¹⁴ Tout fanmi mwen yo, tout bon zanmi m' yo disparèt.

Hungarian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Felele pedig Jób, és monda: ² Meddig búsítjátok még a lelkemet, és kínoztok engem beszéddel? ³ Tízszer is meggyaláztatok már engem; nem pirultok, hogy így erõsködtök ellenem? ⁴ Még ha csakugyan tévedtem is, tévedésem énmagamra hárul. ⁵ Avagy csakugyan pöffeszkedni akartok ellenem, és feddõdni az én gyalázatom felett? ⁶ Tudjátok meg hát, hogy Isten alázott meg engem, és az õ hálójával õ vett engem körül. ⁷ Ímé, kiáltozom az erõszak miatt, de meg nem hallgattatom, segélyért kiáltok, de nincsen igazság. ⁸ Utamat úgy elgátolta, hogy nem mehetek át rajta, és az én ösvényemre sötétséget vetett. ⁹ Tisztességembõl kivetkõztetett, és fejemnek koronáját elvevé. ¹⁰ Megronta köröskörül, hogy elveszszek, és reménységemet, mint a fát, letördelé. ¹¹ Felgerjesztette haragját ellenem, és úgy bánt velem, mint ellenségeivel. ¹² Seregei együtt jövének be és utat csinálnak ellenem, és az én sátorom mellett táboroznak. ¹³ Atyámfiait távol ûzé mellõlem, barátaim egészen elidegenedtek tõlem. ¹⁴ Rokonaim visszahúzódtak, ismerõseim pedig elfelejtkeznek rólam. ¹⁵ Házam zsellérei és szolgálóim idegennek tartanak engem, jövevény lettem elõttök. ¹⁶ Ha a szolgámat kiáltom, nem felel, még ha könyörgök is néki. ¹⁷ Lehelletem idegenné lett házastársam elõtt, s könyörgésem az én ágyékom magzatai elõtt. ¹⁸ Még a kisdedek is megvetnek engem, ha fölkelek, ellenem szólnak nékem. ¹⁹ Megútált minden meghitt emberem; a kiket szerettem, azok is ellenem fordultak. ²⁰ Bõrömhöz és húsomhoz ragadt az én csontom, csak fogam húsával menekültem meg. ²¹ Könyörüljetek rajtam, könyörüljetek rajtam, oh ti barátaim, mert az Isten keze érintett engem! ²² Miért üldöztök engem úgy, mint az Isten, és mért nem elégesztek meg a testemmel? ²³ Oh, vajha az én beszédeim leirattatnának, oh, vajha könyvbe feljegyeztetnének! ²⁴ Vasvesszõvel és ónnal örökre kõsziklába metszetnének! ²⁵ Mert én tudom, hogy az én megváltóm él, és utoljára az én porom felett megáll. ²⁶ És miután ezt a bõrömet megrágják, testem nélkül látom meg az Istent. ²⁷ A kit magam látok meg magamnak; az én szemeim látják meg, nem más. Az én veséim megemésztettek én bennem; ²⁸ Mert ezt mondjátok: Hogyan fogjuk õt üldözni! [látva,] hogy a dolog gyökere én bennem rejlik. ²⁹ Féljetek a fegyvertõl, mert a fegyver a bûnök miatt való büntetés, hogy megtudjátok, hogy van ítélet!

Indonesian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Tetapi Ayub menjawab, "Mengapa aku terus kamu kecam, dan kamu siksa dengan perkataan? ² (19:1) ³ Berkali-kali kamu menghina aku, dan kamu aniaya aku tanpa rasa malu. ⁴ Seandainya salah perbuatanku, itu tidak merugikan kamu. ⁵ Kamu pikir dirimu lebih baik daripadaku; susahku kamu anggap bukti kesalahanku. ⁶ Ketahuilah bahwa aku sedang disiksa Allah, dan ditangkap dalam perangkap-Nya. ⁷ Aku meronta karena kekejaman-Nya itu, tetapi tidak seorang pun yang memperhatikan aku. "Di mana keadilan," teriakku, tetapi tak ada yang mendengar aku. ⁸ Allah menutup jalanku, aku tak dapat lewat, lorong-lorongku dibuat-Nya gelap pekat. ⁹ Ia merampas hartaku semua, dan nama baikku dirusakkan-Nya. ¹⁰ Ia menghantam aku dari segala jurusan, seperti orang mencabut akar dari tanaman, lalu membiarkannya merana dan layu, begitulah direnggut-Nya segala harapanku. ¹¹ Murka Allah kepadaku menyala-nyala; aku dianggap-Nya sebagai musuh-Nya. ¹² Pasukan-Nya menyerbu tanpa dapat dibendung; jalanku dihalangi, dan kemahku dikepung. ¹³ Sanak saudaraku dijauhkan-Nya daripadaku; aku menjadi orang asing bagi semua kenalanku. ¹⁴ Kaum kerabatku semua menjauhkan diri; teman-temanku tak ingat kepadaku lagi. ¹⁵ Hamba perempuanku lupa siapa aku, tuan mereka; dianggapnya aku orang yang belum dikenalnya. ¹⁶ Kupanggil hambaku, tapi ia tak menyahut, meskipun kubujuk dia dengan lembut. ¹⁷ Istriku muak mencium bau napasku, saudara kandungku tak sudi mendekatiku. ¹⁸ Aku dihina oleh anak-anak di jalan; jika aku berdiri, aku ditertawakan. ¹⁹ Melihat aku, teman karibku merasa ngeri; aku ditinggalkan mereka yang kukasihi. ²⁰ Tubuhku tinggal kulit pembalut tulang; hampir saja aku mati dan nyawaku melayang. ²¹ Hai kawan-kawanku, kasihanilah aku, sebab tangan Allah memukul aku. ²² Allah terus menekan aku; mengapa kamu tiru Dia? Belum puaskah kamu menyiksa? ²³ Ah, kiranya kata-kataku dicatat, sehingga akan selalu diingat; ²⁴ kiranya dengan besi dipahat pada batu, supaya bertahan sepanjang waktu. ²⁵ Aku tahu bahwa di surga ada Pembelaku; akhirnya Ia akan datang menolong aku. ²⁶ Meskipun kulitku luka-luka dan pecah, tapi selama aku bertubuh, akan kupandang Allah. ²⁷ Dengan mataku sendiri Dia akan kulihat, dan bagiku Dia menjadi sahabat. Hatiku hancur sebab kamu berkata, ²⁸ 'Bagaimana caranya kita mendakwanya?' Kamu mencari alasan untuk membuat perkara. ²⁹ Tetapi, kini takutlah kepada pedang! Sebab Allah murka dan menghukum orang berdosa; maka tahulah kamu, bahwa ada Allah yang mengadili manusia."

Italian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ E GIOBBE rispose, e disse: ² Infino a quando addoglierete voi l’anima mia, E mi triterete con parole? ³ Già dieci volte voi mi avete fatta onta; Non vi vergognate voi di procedere così stranamente meco? ⁴ Ma pure, sia così certamente che io abbia fallito, Il mio fallo dimorerà meco. ⁵ Se pur volete innalzarvi sopra a me, E volete rimproverarmi il mio vituperio, ⁶ Sappiate ora che Iddio mi ha sovvertito, E ch’egli mi ha intorniato della sua rete. ⁷ Ecco, io grido violenza, e non sono esaudito; Io sclamo, e non mi si fa ragione. ⁸ Egli ha abbarrata la mia via sì che io non posso passare; Ed ha poste le tenebre sopra i miei sentieri. ⁹ Egli mi ha spogliato della mia gloria, E mi ha tolta la corona del mio capo. ¹⁰ Egli mi ha disfatto d’ogn’intorno, sì che io me ne vo via; Ed ha fatta dileguar la mia speranza, come quella di un albero; ¹¹ Ed ha accesa la sua ira contro a me, E mi ha reputato per uno de’ suoi nemici. ¹² Le sue schiere son venute tutte insieme, E si hanno spianata la via contro a me, E si sono accampate intorno al mio tabernacolo. ¹³ Egli ha allontanati d’appresso a me i miei fratelli; I miei conoscenti si son del tutto alienati da me. ¹⁴ I miei prossimi se ne son rimasti, Ed i miei conoscenti mi hanno dimenticato. ¹⁵ I miei famigliari, e le mie serventi, mi tengono per istraniero; Io paio loro un forestiere. ¹⁶ Io chiamo il mio servitore, ed egli non risponde, Quantunque io lo preghi di mia bocca. ¹⁷ Il mio fiato è divenuto stranio alla mia moglie, Benchè io la supplichi per li figliuoli del mio ventre. ¹⁸ Fino a’ piccoli fanciulli mi disdegnano; Se io mi levo, sparlano di me. ¹⁹ Tutti i miei consiglieri segreti mi abbominano; E quelli che io amava si son rivolti contro a me. ²⁰ Le mie ossa sono attaccate alla mia pelle ed alla mia carne; E non mi è rimasto altro di salvo che la pelle d’intorno a’ miei denti. ²¹ Abbiate pietà di me, abbiate pietà di me, o voi amici miei; Perciocchè la mano del Signore mi ha toccato. ²² Perchè mi perseguitate voi come Iddio, E non vi saziate della mia carne? ²³ Oh! fosser pur ora scritti i miei ragionamenti! Oh! fosser pure stampati in un libro! ²⁴ Oh! fossero in sempiterno intagliati con uno scarpello di ferro E con del piombo, sopra un sasso! ²⁵ Ora, quant’è a me, io so che il mio Redentore vive, E che nell’ultimo giorno egli si leverà sopra la polvere; ²⁶ E quantunque, dopo la mia pelle, questo corpo sia roso, Pur vedrò con la carne mia Iddio; ²⁷ Il quale io vedrò, gli occhi miei lo vedranno, e non un altro; Le mie reni si consumano in me. ²⁸ Anzi dovreste dire: Perchè lo perseguitiamo noi? Poichè la radice della parola si ritrova in me. ²⁹ Temiate della spada; Perciocchè il supplicio dell’iniquità è la spada; Acciocchè sappiate che vi è un giudicio.

ItalianRiveduta⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Allora Giobbe rispose e disse: ² "Fino a quando affliggerete l’anima mia e mi tormenterete coi vostri discorsi? ³ Son già dieci volte che m’insultate, e non vi vergognate di malmenarmi. ⁴ Dato pure ch’io abbia errato, il mio errore concerne me solo. ⁵ Ma se proprio volete insuperbire contro di me e rimproverarmi la vergogna in cui mi trovo, ⁶ allora sappiatelo: chi m’ha fatto torto e m’ha avvolto nelle sue reti è Dio. ⁷ Ecco, io grido: "Violenza!" e nessuno risponde; imploro aiuto, ma non c’è giustizia! ⁸ Dio m’ha sbarrato la via e non posso passare, ha coperto di tenebre il mio cammino. ⁹ M’ha spogliato della mia gloria, m’ha tolto dal capo la corona. ¹⁰ M’ha demolito a brano a brano, e io me ne vo! ha sradicata come un albero la mia speranza. ¹¹ Ha acceso l’ira sua contro di me, e m’ha considerato come suo nemico. ¹² Le sue schiere son venute tutte insieme, si sono spianata la via fino a me, han posto il campo intorno alla mia tenda. ¹³ Egli ha allontanato da me i miei fratelli, i miei conoscenti si son del tutto alienati da me. ¹⁴ M’hanno abbandonato i miei parenti, gl’intimi miei m’hanno dimenticato. ¹⁵ I miei domestici e le mie serve mi trattan da straniero; agli occhi loro io sono un estraneo. ¹⁶ Chiamo il mio servo, e non risponde, devo supplicarlo con la mia bocca. ¹⁷ Il mio fiato ripugna alla mia moglie, faccio pietà a chi nacque dal seno di mia madre. ¹⁸ Perfino i bimbi mi sprezzano; se cerco d’alzarmi mi scherniscono. ¹⁹ Tutti gli amici più stretti m’hanno in orrore, e quelli che amavo mi si son vòlti contro. ²⁰ Le mie ossa stanno attaccate alla mia pelle, alla mia carne, non m’è rimasto che la pelle de’ denti. ²¹ Pietà, pietà di me, voi, miei amici! ché la man di Dio m’ha colpito. ²² Perché perseguitarmi come fa Dio? Perché non siete mai sazi della mia carne? ²³ Oh se le mie parole fossero scritte! se fossero consegnate in un libro! ²⁴ se con lo scalpello di ferro e col piombo fossero incise nella roccia per sempre!… ²⁵ Ma io so che il mio Vindice vive, e che alla fine si leverà sulla polvere. ²⁶ E quando, dopo la mia pelle, sarà distrutto questo corpo, senza la mia carne, vedrò Iddio. ²⁷ Io lo vedrò a me favorevole; lo contempleranno gli occhi miei, non quelli d’un altro… il cuore, dalla brama, mi si strugge in seno! ²⁸ Se voi dite: Come lo perseguiteremo, come troveremo in lui la causa prima dei suoi mali? ²⁹ Temete per voi stessi la spada, ché furiosi sono i castighi della spada affinché sappiate che v’è una giustizia".

PBG⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ A odpowiadając Ijob rzekł: ² Dokądże trapić będziecie duszę moję, a nacierać na mię mowami swemi? ³ Już dziesięćkroć zawstydziliście mię, i nie wstydże was, że się tak zatwardzacie przeciwko mnie? ⁴ A niech tak będzie, żem zbłądził; przy mnie zostanie błąd mój. ⁵ A jeźli się przeciw mnie wynosicie, a obwiniacie mię pohańbieniem mojem, ⁶ Wiedzcież, żeć mię Bóg odwrócił, i siecią swoją obtoczył mię. ⁷ Oto, wołamli o krzywdę, nie bywam wysłuchany; krzyczęli, niemasz sądu. ⁸ Drogę moję zagrodził, żebym przejść nie mógł, a na ścieszce mojej ciemności położył. ⁹ Z sławy mojej złupił mię, i zdjął koronę z głowy mojej. ¹⁰ Popsuł mię zewsząd, abym zaginął, a wyrwał jako drzewo nadzieję moję. ¹¹ Nadto zapalił się na mię gniew jego, a policzył mię w poczet nieprzyjaciół swoich. ¹² Przyszły razem hufy jego, i utorowały przeciwko mnie drogę swoję, i obległy w około namiot mój. ¹³ Braci moich odemnie oddalił, a znajomi moi stronią odemnie. ¹⁴ Opuścili mię bliscy moi, a znajomi moi zapomnieli mię. ¹⁵ Komornicy domu mego, i służebnice moje mają mię za obcego, cudzoziemcem stałem się w oczach ich. ¹⁶ Wołamli na sługę mego, nie ozywa mi się, chociaż go proszę ustami memi. ¹⁷ Tchem moim brzydzi się żona moja, choć proszę przez synów żywota mego. ¹⁸ I najlichsi pogardzają mną, a gdy powstaję, urągają mi. ¹⁹ Brzydzą się mną wszyscy najwierniejsi moi, a którychem umiłował, stali mi się przeciwnymi. ²⁰ Do skóry mojej, jako do ciała mego przyschła kość moja; skóra tylko została około zębów moich. ²¹ Zmiłujcie się nademną, zmiłujcie się nademną, wy przyjaciele moi! bo ręka Boża dotknęła mię. ²² Czemuż mię prześladujecie, jako Bóg, a ciała mego nie możecie się nasycić? ²³ Oby teraz napisane były słowa moje! oby je na księgach wyrysowano! ²⁴ Oby rylcem żelaznym i ołowiem na wieczną pamiątkę na kamieniu wydrążone były! ²⁵ Aczci ja wiem, iż Odkupiciel mój żyje, a iż w ostateczny dzień nad prochem stanie. ²⁶ A choć ta skóra moja roztoczona będzie, przecież w ciele mojem oglądam Boga; ²⁷ Którego ja sam oglądam, i oczy moje ujrzą go, a nie inny; choć zniszczały nerki moje we wnętrznościach moich. ²⁸ Przeczże nie mówicie: Czemuż go prześladujemy? gdyż się przy mnie znajduje grunt dobrej sprawy. ²⁹ Ulęknijcie się sami miecza, bo pomsta nieprawości jest miecz; a wiedzcie, że będzie sąd.

Portuguese⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Então Job respondeu: ² Até quando afligireis a minha alma, e me atormentareis com palavras? ³ Já dez vezes me haveis humilhado; não vos envergonhais de me maltratardes? ⁴ Embora haja eu, na verdade, errado, comigo fica o meu erro. ⁵ Se deveras vos quereis engrandecer contra mim, e me incriminar pelo meu opróbrio, ⁶ sabei então que Deus é o que transtornou a minha causa, e com a sua rede me cercou. ⁷ Eis que clamo: Violência! mas não sou ouvido; grito: Socorro! mas não há justiça. ⁸ com muros fechou ele o meu caminho, de modo que não posso passar; e pôs trevas nas minhas veredas. ⁹ Da minha honra me despojou, e tirou-me da cabeça a coroa. ¹⁰ Quebrou-me de todos os lados, e eu me vou; arrancou a minha esperança, como a, uma árvore. ¹¹ Acende contra mim a sua ira, e me considera como um de seus adversários. ¹² Juntas as suas tropas avançam, levantam contra mim o seu caminho, e se acampam ao redor da minha tenda. ¹³ Ele pôs longe de mim os meus irmãos, e os que me conhecem tornaram-se estranhos para mim. ¹⁴ Os meus parentes se afastam, e os meus conhecidos se esquecem de, mim. ¹⁵ Os meus domésticos e as minhas servas me têm por estranho; vim a ser um estrangeiro aos seus olhos. ¹⁶ Chamo ao meu criado, e ele não me responde; tenho que suplicar-lhe com a minha boca. ¹⁷ O meu hálito é intolerável à minha mulher; sou repugnante aos filhos de minha mãe. ¹⁸ Até os pequeninos me desprezam; quando me levanto, falam contra mim. ¹⁹ Todos os meus amigos íntimos me abominam, e até os que eu amava se tornaram contra mim. ²⁰ Os meus ossos se apegam à minha pele e à minha carne, e só escapei com a pele dos meus dentes. ²¹ Compadecei-vos de mim, amigos meus; compadecei-vos de mim; pois a mão de Deus me tocou. ²² Por que me perseguis assim como Deus, e da minha carne não vos fartais? ²³ Oxalá que as minhas palavras fossem escritas! Oxalá que fossem gravadas num livro! ²⁴ Que, com pena de ferro, e com chumbo, fossem para sempre esculpidas na rocha! ²⁵ Pois eu sei que o meu Redentor vive, e que por fim se levantará sobre a terra. ²⁶ E depois de consumida esta minha pele, então fora da minha carne verei a Deus; ²⁷ vê-lo-ei ao meu lado, e os meus olhos o contemplarão, e não mais como adversário. O meu coração desfalece dentro de mim! ²⁸ Se disserdes: Como o havemos de perseguir! e que a causa deste mal se acha em mim, ²⁹ temei vós a espada; porque o furor traz os castigos da espada, para saberdes que há um juízo.

Norwegian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Da tok Job til orde og sa: ² Hvor lenge vil I bedrøve min sjel og knuse mig med ord? ³ Det er nu tiende gang I håner mig og ikke skammer eder ved å krenke mig. ⁴ Har jeg virkelig faret vill, da blir min villfarelse min egen sak. ⁵ Vil I virkelig ophøie eder over mig og vise mig at min vanære har rammet mig med rette? ⁶ Så vit da at Gud har gjort mig urett og satt sitt garn omkring mig! ⁷ Se, jeg roper: Vold! - men jeg får intet svar; jeg skriker om hjelp, men det er ingen rett å få. ⁸ Min vei har han stengt, så jeg ikke kommer frem, og over mine stier legger han mørke. ⁹ Min ære har han avklædd mig og tatt bort kronen fra mitt hode. ¹⁰ Han bryter mig ned på alle kanter, så jeg går til grunne, og han rykker op mitt håp som et tre. ¹¹ Han lar sin vrede brenne mot mig og akter mig som sin fiende. ¹² Hans hærflokker kommer alle sammen og rydder sig vei mot mig, og de leirer sig rundt om mitt telt. ¹³ Mine brødre har han drevet langt bort fra mig, og mine kjenninger er blitt aldeles fremmede for mig. ¹⁴ Mine nærmeste holder sig borte, og mine kjente har glemt mig. ¹⁵ Mine husfolk og mine tjenestepiker akter mig for en fremmed; jeg er en utlending i deres øine. ¹⁶ Kaller jeg på min tjener, så svarer han ikke; med egen munn må jeg bønnfalle ham. ¹⁷ Min ånde er motbydelig for min hustru, og min vonde lukt for min mors sønner. ¹⁸ Endog barn forakter mig; vil jeg reise mig, så taler de mot mig. ¹⁹ Alle mine nærmeste venner avskyr mig, og de jeg elsket, har vendt sig mot mig. ²⁰ Mine ben trenger ut gjennem min hud og mitt kjøtt, og bare tannhinnen er ennu urørt på mig. ²¹ Forbarm eder, forbarm eder over mig, I mine venner! For Guds hånd har rørt ved mig. ²² Hvorfor forfølger I mig likesom Gud og blir ikke mette av mitt kjøtt? ²³ Men gid mine ord måtte bli opskrevet! Gid de måtte bli optegnet i en bok, ²⁴ ja, med jerngriffel og bly for evig bli hugget inn i sten! ²⁵ Men jeg - jeg vet min gjenløser lever, og som den siste skal han stå frem på støvet. ²⁶ Og efterat denne min hud er blitt ødelagt, skal jeg ut fra mitt kjød skue Gud, ²⁷ han som jeg skal skue, mig til gode, han som mine øine skal se og ikke nogen fremmed - mine nyrer tæres bort i mitt liv*. / {* av lengsel herefter, 2KO 5, 2.} ²⁸ Når I sier: Hvor vi skal forfølge ham! - I har jo funnet skylden hos mig - ²⁹ så frykt for sverdet! For vrede er en synd som er hjemfalt til sverd. Dette sier jeg forat I skal tenke på at det kommer en dom.

Romanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Iov a luat cuvîntul şi a zis: ² ,,Pînă cînd îmi veţi întrista sufletul, şi mă veţi zdrobi cu cuvîntările voastre? ³ Iată că de zece ori m'aţi batjocorit; nu vă este ruşine să vă purtaţi aşa? ⁴ Dacă am păcătuit cu adevărat, numai eu sînt răspunzător de aceasta. ⁵ Credeţi că mă puteţi lua de sus? Credeţi că mi-aţi dovedit că sînt vinovat? ⁶ Atunci să ştiţi că Dumnezeu mă urmăreşte, şi mă înveleşte cu laţul Lui. ⁷ Iată, ţip de silnicie, şi nimeni nu răspunde; cer dreptate, şi dreptate nu este! ⁸ Mi -a tăiat orice ieşire, şi nu pot trece; a răspîndit întunerec pe cărările mele. ⁹ M'a despoiat de slava mea, mi -a luat cununa de pe cap, ¹⁰ m'a zdrobit din toate părţile, şi pier; mi -a smuls nădejdea ca pe un copac. ¹¹ S'a aprins de mînie împotriva mea, S'a purtat cu mine ca şi cu un vrăjmaş. ¹² Oştile Lui au pornit deodată înainte, şi-au croit drum pînă la mine, şi au tăbărît în jurul cortului meu. ¹³ A depărtat pe fraţii mei dela mine, şi prietenii mei s'au înstrăinat de mine. ¹⁴ Rudele mele m'au părăsit, şi cei mai deaproape ai mei m'au uitat. ¹⁵ Casnicii mei şi slugile mele mă privesc ca pe un străin, în ochii lor sînt un necunoscut. ¹⁶ Chem pe robul meu, şi nu răspunde; îl rog cu gura mea, şi degeaba. ¹⁷ Suflarea mea a ajuns nesuferită nevestei mele, şi duhoarea mea a ajuns nesuferită fiilor mamei mele. ¹⁸ Pînă şi copiii mă dispreţuiesc: dacă mă scol, ei mă ocărăsc. ¹⁹ Aceia în cari mă încredeam mă urăsc, aceia pe cari îi iubeam s'au întors împotriva mea. ²⁰ Oasele mi se ţin de piele şi de carne; nu mi -a mai rămas decît pielea de pe dinţi. ²¹ Fie-vă milă, fie-vă milă de mine, prietenii mei! Căci mîna lui Dumnezeu m'a lovit. ²² Dece mă urmăriţi ca Dumnezeu? Şi nu vă mai săturaţi de carnea mea? ²³ Oh! aş vrea ca vorbele mele să fie scrise, să fie scrise într'o carte; ²⁴ aş vrea să fie săpate cu un priboi de fier şi cu plumb în stîncă pe vecie... ²⁵ Dar ştiu că Răscumpărătorul meu este viu, şi că se va ridica la urmă pe pămînt. ²⁶ Chiar dacă mi se va nimici pielea, şi chiar dacă nu voi mai avea carne, voi vedea totuş pe Dumnezeu. ²⁷ Îl voi vedea şi-mi va fi binevoitor; ochii mei Îl vor vedea, şi nu ai altuia. Sufletul meu tînjeşte de dorul acesta înlăuntrul meu. ²⁸ Atunci veţi zice:,Pentruce -l urmăream noi?` Căci dreptatea pricinii mele va fi cunoscută. ²⁹ Temeţi-vă de sabie: căci pedepsele date cu sabia sînt grozave! Şi să ştiţi că este o judecată.``

Ukrainian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ А Йов відповів та й сказав: ² Аж доки смутити ви будете душу мою, та душити словами мене? ³ Десять раз це мене ви соромите, гнобити мене не стидаєтесь!... ⁴ Якщо справді зблудив я, то мій гріх при мені позостане. ⁵ Чи ви величаєтесь справді над мною, і виказуєте мою ганьбу на мене? ⁶ Знайте тоді, що Бог скривдив мене, і тенета Свої розточив надо мною! ⁷ Ось ґвалт! я кричу, та не відповідає ніхто, голошу, та немає суду!... ⁸ Він дорогу мою оточив і я не перейду, Він поклав на стежки мої темряву! ⁹ Він стягнув з мене славу мою і вінця зняв мені з голови! ¹⁰ Звідусіль Він ламає мене, і я йду, надію мою, як те дерево, вивернув Він... ¹¹ І на мене Свій гнів запалив, і зарахував Він мене до Своїх ворогів: ¹² полки Його разом приходять, і торують на мене дорогу свою, і таборують навколо намету мого... ¹³ Віддалив Він від мене братів моїх, а знайомі мої почужіли для мене, ¹⁴ мої ближні відстали, і забули про мене знайомі мої... ¹⁵ Мешканці дому мого, і служниці мої за чужого вважають мене, чужаком я став в їхніх очах... ¹⁶ Я кличу свойого раба і він відповіді не дає, хоч своїми устами благаю його... ¹⁷ Мій дух став бридкий для моєї дружини, а мій запах синам моєї утроби... ¹⁸ Навіть діти малі зневажають мене, коли я встаю, то глузують із мене... ¹⁹ Мої всі повірники бридяться мною, а кого я кохав обернулись на мене... ²⁰ До шкіри моєї й до тіла мого приліпилися кості мої, ще біля зубів лиш зосталася шкіра моя... ²¹ Змилуйтеся надо мною, о, змилуйтеся надо мною ви, ближні мої, бо Божа рука доторкнулась мене!... ²² Чого ви мене переслідуєте, немов Бог, і не насичуєтесь моїм тілом? ²³ О, коли б записати слова мої, о, коли б були в книжці вони позазначувані, ²⁴ коли б рильцем залізним та оливом в скелі навіки вони були витесані! ²⁵ Та я знаю, що мій Викупитель живий, і останнього дня Він підійме із пороху ²⁶ цю шкіру мою, яка розпадається, і з тіла свойого я Бога побачу, ²⁷ сам я побачу Його, й мої очі побачать, а не очі чужі... Тануть нирки мої в моїм нутрі!... ²⁸ Коли скажете ви: Нащо будемо гнати його, коли корень справи знаходиться в ньому! ²⁹ то побійтесь меча собі ви, бо гнів за провину то меч, щоб ви знали, що є ще Суддя!...
