Job 35

King James Version with Apocrypha

Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition

1Elihu spake moreover, and said,

1ΥΠΟΛΑΒΩΝ δὲ Ἐλιοὺς λέγει·

2Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than God’s?

2τί τοῦτο ἡγήσω ἐν κρίσει; σὺ τίς εἶ ὅτι εἶπας· δίκαιός εἰμι ἔναντι Κυρίου;

3For thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee? and , What profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin?

3ἐγώ σοι δώσω ἀπόκρισιν καὶ τοῖς τρισὶ φίλοις σου.

4I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee.

4ἀνάβλεψον εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ ἰδέ, κατάμαθε δὲ νέφη ὡς ὑψηλὰ ἀπὸ σοῦ.

5Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds which are higher than thou.

5εἰ ἥμαρτες, τί πράξεις; εἰ δὲ καὶ πολλὰ ἠνόμησας, τί δύνασαι ποιῆσαι;

6If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?

no verse 6 in this text

7If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? or what receiveth he of thine hand?

7ἐπεὶ δὲ οὖν δικαιος εἶ, τί δώσεις αὐτῷ; ἢ τί ἐκ χειρός σου λήψεται;

8Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art; and thy righteousness may profit the son of man.

8ἀνδρὶ τῷ ὁμοίῳ σου ἡ ἀσέβειά σου, καὶ υἱῷ ἀνθρώπου ἡ δικαιοσύνη σου.

9By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to cry: they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty.

9ἀπὸ πλήθους συκοφαντούμενοι κεκράξονται, βοήσονται ἀπὸ βραχίονος πολλῶν.

10But none saith, Where is God my maker, who giveth songs in the night;

10καὶ οὐκ εἶπε· ποῦ ἐστιν ὁ Θεὸς ὁ ποιήσας με, ὁ κατατάσσων φυλακὰς νυκτερινάς,

11Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven?

11ὁ διορίζων με ἀπὸ τετραπόδων γῆς, ἀπὸ δὲ πετεινῶν οὐρανοῦ;

12There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride of evil men.

12ἐκεῖ κεκράξονται, καὶ οὐ μὴ εἰσακούσῃ καὶ ἀπὸ ὕβρεως πονηρῶν.

13Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.

13ἄτοπα γὰρ οὐ βούλεται ἰδεῖν ὁ Κύριος, αὐτὸς γὰρ ὁ Παντοκράτωρ

14Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, yet judgment is before him; therefore trust thou in him.

14ὁρατής ἐστι τῶν συντελούντων τὰ ἄνομα καὶ σώσει με. κρίθητι δὲ ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ, εἰ δύνασαι αὐτὸν αἰνέσαι, ὥς ἐστι.

15But now, because it is not so , he hath visited in his anger; yet he knoweth it not in great extremity:

15καὶ νῦν ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἐπισκεπτόμενος ὀργὴν αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἔγνω παράπτωμά τι σφόδρα·

16Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplieth words without knowledge.

16καὶ Ἰὼβ ματαίως ἀνοίγει τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ, ἐν ἀγνωσίᾳ ρήματα βαρύνει.
