1When Job answered, and said:
1ΥΠΟΛΑΒΩΝ δὲ Ἰὼβ λέγει·
2Are you then men alone, and shall wisdom die with you?
2εἶτα ὑμεῖς ἐστε ἄνθρωποι· ἦ μεθ᾿ ὑμῶν τελευτήσει σοφία.
3I also have a heart as well as you: for who is ignorant of these things, which you know?
3κἀμοὶ μὲν καρδία καθ᾿ ὑμᾶς ἐστι·
4He that is mocked by his friends as I, shall call upon God and he will hear him: for the simplicity of the just man is laughed to scorn.
4δίκαιος γὰρ ἀνὴρ καὶ ἄμεμπτος ἐγεννήθη εἰς χλεύασμα·
5The lamp despised in the thoughts of the rich, is ready for the time appointed.
5εἰς χρόνον γὰρ τακτὸν ἡτοίμαστο πεσεῖν ὑπὸ ἄλλων, οἴκους τε αὐτοῦ ἐκπορθεῖσθαι ὑπὸ ἀνόμων. οὐ μὴν δὲ ἀλλὰ μηδεὶς πεποιθέτω πονηρὸς ὢν ἀθῷος ἔσεσθαι,
6The tabernacles of robbers abound, and they provoke God boldly; whereas it is he that hath given all into their hands:
6ὅσοι παροργίζουσι τὸν Κύριον, ὡς οὐχὶ καὶ ἔτασις αὐτῶν ἔσται.
7But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee: and the birds of the air, and they shall tell thee.
7ἀλλὰ δὴ ἐρώτησον τετράποδα ἐάν σοι εἴπωσι, πετεινὰ δὲ οὐρανοῦ ἐάν σοι ἀπαγγείλωσιν·
8Speak to the earth, and it shall answer thee: and the fishes of the sea shall tell.
8ἐκδιήγησαι γῇ, ἐάν σοι φράσῃ, καὶ ἐξηγήσονταί σοι οἱ ἰχθύες τῆς θαλάσσης.
9Who is ignorant that the hand of the Lord hath made all these things?
9τίς οὖν οὐκ ἔγνω ἐν πᾶσι τούτοις ὅτι χεὶρ Κυρίου ἐποίησε ταῦτα;
10In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the spirit of all flesh of man.
10εἰ μὴ ἐν χειρὶ αὐτοῦ ψυχὴ πάντων ζώντων καὶ πνεῦμα παντὸς ἀνθρώπου;
11Doth not the ear discern words, and the palate of him that eateth, the taste?
11οὖς μὲν γὰρ ρήματα διακρίνει, λάρυγξ δὲ σῖτα γεύεται.
12In the ancient is wisdom, and in length of days prudence.
12ἐν πολλῷ χρόνῳ σοφία, ἐν δὲ πολλῷ βίῳ ἐπιστήμη.
13With him is wisdom and strength, he hath counsel and understanding.
13παρ᾿ αὐτῷ σοφία καὶ δύναμις, αὐτῷ βουλὴ καὶ σύνεσις.
14If he pull down, there is no man that can build up: if he shut up a. man, there is none that can open.
14ἐὰν καταβάλῃ, τίς οἰκοδομήσει; ἐὰν κλείσῃ κατ᾿ ἀνθρώπων, τίς ἀνοίξει;
15If he withhold the waters, all things shall be dried up: and if he send them out, they shall overturn the earth.
15ἐὰν κωλύσῃ τὸ ὕδωρ, ξηρανεῖ τὴν γῆν· ἐὰν δὲ ἐπαφῇ, ἀπώλεσεν αὐτὴν καταστρέψας.
16With him is strength and wisdom: he knoweth both the deceiver, and him that is deceived.
16παρ᾿ αὐτῷ κράτος καὶ ἰσχύς, αὐτῷ ἐπιστήμη καὶ σύνεσις.
17He bringeth counsellors to a foolish end, and judges to insensibility.
17διάγων βουλευτὰς αἰχμαλώτους, κριτὰς δὲ γῆς ἐξέστησε.
18He looseth the belt of kings, and girdeth their loins with a cord.
18καθιζάνων βασιλεῖς ἐπὶ θρόνους καὶ περιέδησε ζώνῃ ὀσφύας αὐτῶν.
19He leadeth away priests without glory, and overthroweth nobles.
19ἐξαποστέλλων ἱερεῖς αἰχμαλώτους, δυνάστας δὲ γῆς κατέστρεψε.
20He changeth the speech of the true speakers, and taketh away the doctrine of the aged.
20διαλλάσσων χείλη πιστῶν, σύνεσιν δὲ πρεσβυτέρων ἔγνω.
21He poureth contempt upon princes, and relieveth them that were oppressed.
21ἐκχέων ἀτιμίαν ἐπ᾿ ἄρχοντας, ταπεινοὺς δὲ ἰάσατο.
22He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth up to light the shadow of death.
22ἀνακαλύπτων βαθέα ἐκ σκότους, ἐξήγαγε δὲ εἰς φῶς σκιὰν θανάτου.
23He multiplieth nations, and destroyeth them, and restoreth them again after they were overthrown.
23πλανῶν ἔθνη καὶ ἀπολλύων αὐτά, καταστρωνύων ἔθνη καὶ καθοδηγῶν αὐτά.
24He changeth the heart of the princes of the people of the earth, and deceiveth them that they walk in vain where there is no way.
24διαλλάσσων καρδίας ἀρχόντων γῆς, ἐπλάνησε δὲ αὐτοὺς ἐν ὁδῷ, ᾗ οὐκ ᾔδεισαν.
25They shall grope as in the dark, and not in the light, and he shall make them stagger like men that are drunk.
25ψηλαφήσαισαν σκότος καὶ μὴ φῶς, πλανηθείησαν δὲ ὥσπερ ὁ μεθύων.
