King James Version with Apocrypha
Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,
1ΥΠΟΛΑΒΩΝ δὲ Σωφὰρ ὁ Μιναῖος λέγει·
2Should not the multitude of words be answered? and should a man full of talk be justified?
2ὁ τὰ πολλὰ λέγων, καὶ ἀντακούσεται· ἢ καὶ ὁ εὔλαλος οἴεται εἶναι δίκαιος; εὐλογημένος γεννητὸς γυναικὸς ὀλιγόβιος.
3Should thy lies make men hold their peace? and when thou mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed?
3μὴ πολὺς ἐν ρήμασι γίνου, οὐ γάρ ἐστιν ὁ ἀντικρινόμενός σοι·
4For thou hast said, My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in thine eyes.
4μὴ γὰρ λέγε ὅτι καθαρός εἰμι τοῖς ἔργοις καὶ ἄμεμπτος ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ.
5But oh that God would speak, and open his lips against thee;
5ἀλλὰ πῶς ἂν ὁ Κύριος λαλήσαι πρός σε, καὶ ἀνοίξει χείλη αὐτοῦ μετὰ σοῦ;
6And that he would shew thee the secrets of wisdom, that they are double to that which is! Know therefore that God exacteth of thee less than thine iniquity deserveth .
6εἶτα ἀναγγελεῖ σοι δύναμιν σοφίας, ὅτι διπλοῦς ἔσται τῶν κατά σέ· καὶ τότε γνώσῃ ὅτι ἄξιά σοι ἀπέβη ἀπὸ Κυρίου ὧν ἡμάρτηκας.
7Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection?
7ἦ ἴχνος Κυρίου εὑρήσεις ἢ εἰς τὰ ἔσχατα ἀφίκου, ἃ ἐποίησεν ὁ Παντοκράτωρ;
8It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know?
8ὑψηλὸς ὁ οὐρανός, καὶ τί ποιήσεις; βαθύτερα δὲ τῶν ἐν ᾃδου τί οἶδας;
9The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.
9ἢ μακρότερα μέτρου γῆς ἢ εὔρους θαλάσσης;
10If he cut off, and shut up, or gather together, then who can hinder him?
10ἐὰν δὲ καταστρέψῃ τὰ πάντα, τίς ἐρεῖ αὐτῷ· τί ἐποίησας;
11For he knoweth vain men: he seeth wickedness also; will he not then consider it ?
11αὐτὸς γὰρ οἶδεν ἔργα ἀνόμων, ἰδὼν δὲ ἄτοπα οὐ παρόψεται.
12For vain man would be wise, though man be born like a wild ass’s colt.
12ἄνθρωπος δὲ ἄλλως νήχεται λόγοις, βροτὸς δὲ γεννητὸς γυναικὸς ἴσα ὄνῳ ἐρημίτῃ.
13If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine hands toward him;
13εἰ γὰρ σὺ καθαρὰν ἔθου τὴν καρδίαν σου, ὑπτιάζεις δὲ χεῖρας πρὸς αὐτόν,
14If iniquity be in thine hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in thy tabernacles.
14εἰ ἄνομόν τί ἐστιν ἐν χερσί σου, πόρρω ποίησον αὐτὸ ἀπὸ σοῦ, ἀδικία δὲ ἐν διαίτῃ σου μὴ αὐλισθήτω.
15For then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; yea, thou shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear:
15οὕτως γὰρ ἀναλάμψει σου τὸ πρόσωπον ὥσπερ ὕδωρ καθαρόν, ἐκδύσῃ δὲ ρύπον, καὶ οὐ μὴ φοβηθῇς·
16Because thou shalt forget thy misery, and remember it as waters that pass away:
16καὶ τὸν κόπον ἐπιλήσῃ ὥσπερ κῦμα παρελθὸν καὶ οὐ πτοηθήσῃ.
17And thine age shall be clearer than the noonday; thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning.
17ἡ δὲ εὐχή σου ὥσπερ ἑωσφόρος, ἐκ δὲ μεσημβρίας ἀνατελεῖ σοι ζωή·
18And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; yea, thou shalt dig about thee, and thou shalt take thy rest in safety.
18πεποιθώς τε ἔσῃ ὅτι ἔστι σοι ἐλπίς, ἐκ δὲ μερίμνης καὶ φροντίδος ἀναφανεῖταί σοι εἰρήνη.
19Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; yea, many shall make suit unto thee.
19ἡσυχάσεις γάρ, καὶ οὐ ἔσται ὁ πολεμῶν σε· μεταβαλόμενοι δὲ πολλοί σου δεηθήσονται.
20But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not escape, and their hope shall be as the giving up of the ghost.
20σωτηρία δὲ αὐτοὺς ἀπολείψει· ἡ γὰρ ἐλπὶς αὐτῶν ἀπώλεια, ὀφθαλμοὶ δὲ ἀσεβῶν τακήσονται.
