1Job also added, taking up his parable, and said:
1ΕΤΙ δὲ προσθεὶς Ἰὼβ εἶπε τῷ προοιμίῳ·
2As God liveth, who hath taken away my judgment, and the Almighty, who hath brought my soul to bitterness,
2ζῇ ὁ Θεός, ὃς οὕτω με κέκρικε, καὶ ὁ Παντοκράτωρ ὁ πικράνας μου τὴν ψυχήν.
3As long as breath remaineth in me, and the spirit of God in my nostrils,
3ἦ μὴν ἔτι τῆς πνοῆς μου ἐνούσης, πνεῦμα δὲ θεῖον τὸ περιόν μοι ἐν ρινί,
4My lips shall not speak iniquity, neither shall my tongue contrive lying.
4μὴ λαλήσειν τὰ χείλη μου ἄνομα, οὐδὲ ἡ ψυχή μου μελετήσει ἄδικα
5God forbid that I should judge you to be just: till I die I will not depart from my innocence.
5μή μοι εἴη δικαίους ὑμᾶς ἀποφῆναι, ἕως ἂν ἀποθάνω, οὐ γὰρ ἀπολλάξω μου τὴν ἀκακίαν μου.
6My justification, which I have begun to hold, I will not forsake: for my heart doth not reprehend me in all my life.
6δικαιοσύνῃ δὲ προσέχων οὐ μὴν προῶμαι, οὐ γὰρ σύνοιδα ἐμαυτῷ ἄτοπα πράξας.
7Let my enemy be as the ungodly, and my adversary as the wicked one.
7οὐ μὴν δὲ ἀλλὰ εἴησαν οἱ ἐχθροί μου ὥσπερ ἡ καταστροφὴ τῶν ἀσεβῶν, καὶ οἱ ἐπ᾿ ἐμὲ ἐπανιστάμενοι, ὥσπερ ἡ ἀπώλεια τῶν παρανόμων.
8For what is the hope of the hypocrite if through covetousness he take by violence, and God deliver not his soul?
8καὶ τίς γάρ ἐστιν ἐλπὶς ἀσεβεῖ ὅτι ἐπέχει; πεποιθὼς ἐπὶ Κύριον ἄρα σωθήσεται;
9Will God hear his cry, when distress shall come upon him?
9ἦ τὴν δέησιν αὐτοῦ εἰσακούσεται ὁ Θεός; ἢ ἐπελθούσης αὐτῷ ἀνάγκης
10Or can he delight himself in the Almighty, and call upon God at all times?
10μὴ ἔχει τινὰ παρρησίαν ἔναντι αὐτοῦ; ἢ ὡς ἐπικαλεσαμένου αὐτοῦ εἰσακούσεται αὐτοῦ,
11I will teach you by the hand of God, what the Almighty hath, and I will not conceal it.
11ἀλλὰ δὴ ἀναγγελῶ ὑμῖν τί ἐστιν ἐν χειρὶ Κυρίου, ἅ ἐστι παρὰ Παντοκράτορι, οὐ ψεύσομαι.
12Behold you all know it, and why do you speak vain things without cause?
12ἰδοὺ πάντες οἴδατε ὅτι κενὰ κενοῖς ἐπιβάλλετε.
13This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the inheritance of the violent, which they shall receive of the Almighty.
13αὕτη ἡ μερὶς ἀνθρώπου ἀσεβοῦς παρὰ Κυρίου, κτῆμα δὲ δυναστῶν ἐλεύσεται παρὰ Παντοκράτορος ἐπ᾿ αὐτούς.
14If his sons be multiplied, they shall be for the sword, and his grandsons shall not be filled with bread.
14ἐὰν δὲ πολλοὶ γένωνται οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ, εἰς σφαγὴν ἔσονται· ἐὰν δὲ καὶ ἀνδρωθῶσι, προσαιτήσουσιν·
15They that shall remain of him, shall be buried in death, and his widows shall not weep.
15οἱ δὲ περιόντες αὐτοῦ ἐν θανάτῳ τελευτήσουσι, χήρας δὲ αὐτῶν οὐδεὶς ἐλεήσει.
16If he shall heap together silver as earth, and prepare raiment as clay,
16ἐὰν συναγάγῃ ὥσπερ γῆν ἀργύριον, ἴσα δὲ πηλῷ ἑτοιμάσῃ χρυσίον,
17He shall prepare indeed, but the just man shall be clothed with it: and the innocent shall divide the silver.
17ταῦτα πάντα δίκαιοι περιποιήσονται, τὰ δὲ χρήματα αὐτοῦ ἀληθινοὶ καθέξουσιν.
18He hath built his house as a moth, and as a keeper he hath made a booth.
18ἀπέβη δὲ οἱ οἶκος αὐτοῦ ὥσπερ σῆτες καὶ ὥσπερ ἀράχνη.
19The rich man when he shall sleep shall take away nothing with him: he shall open his eyes and find nothing.
19πλούσιος κοιμηθήσεται καὶ οὐ προσθήσει, ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ διήνοιξε, καὶ οὐκ ἔστι.
20Poverty like water shall take hold on him, a tempest shall oppress him in the night.
20συνήντησαν αὐτῷ ὥσπερ ὕδωρ αἱ ὀδύναι, νυκτὶ δὲ ὑφείλετο αὐτὸν γνόφος·
21A burning wind shall take him up, and carry him away, and as a whirlwind shall snatch him from his place.
21ἀναλήψεται δὲ αὐτὸν καύσων καὶ ἀπελεύσεται, καὶ λικμήσει αὐτὸν ἐκ τοῦ τόπου αὐτοῦ.
22And he shall cast upon him, and shall not spare: out of his hand he would willingly flee.
22καὶ ἐπιρρίψει ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸν καὶ οὐ φείσεται, ἐκ χειρὸς αὐτοῦ φυγῇ φεύξεται.
23He shall clasp his hands upon him, and shall hiss at him, beholding his place.
23κροτήσει ἐπ᾿ αὐτοὺς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ καὶ συριεῖ αὐτὸν ἐκ τοῦ τόπου αὐτοῦ.
