King James Version with Apocrypha
Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
1ΥΠΟΛΑΒΩΝ δὲ Ἐλιφὰζ ὁ Θαιμανίτης λέγει·
2If we assay to commune with thee, wilt thou be grieved? but who can withhold himself from speaking?
2μὴ πολλάκις σοι λελάληται ἐν κόπῳ; ἰσχὺν δὲ ρημάτων σου τίς ὑποίσει;
3Behold, thou hast instructed many, and thou hast strengthened the weak hands.
3εἰ γὰρ σὺ ἐνουθέτησας πολλοὺς καὶ χεῖρας ἀσθενοῦς παρεκάλεσας,
4Thy words have upholden him that was falling, and thou hast strengthened the feeble knees.
4ἀσθενοῦντάς τε ἐξανέστησας ρήμασι, γόνασί τε ἀδυνατοῦσι θάρσος περιέθηκας,
5But now it is come upon thee, and thou faintest; it toucheth thee, and thou art troubled.
5νῦν δὲ ἥκει ἐπὶ σὲ πόνος καὶ ἥψατό σου, σὺ ἐσπούδασας.
6Is not this thy fear, thy confidence, thy hope, and the uprightness of thy ways?
6πότερον οὐχ ὁ φόβος σού ἐστιν ἐν ἀφροσύνῃ καὶ ἡ ἐλπίς σου καὶ ἡ κακία τῆς ὁδοῦ σου;
7Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished, being innocent? or where were the righteous cut off?
7μνήσθητι οὖν, τίς καθαρὸς ὢν ἀπώλετο ἢ πότε ἀληθινοὶ ὁλόρριζοι ἀπώλοντο;
8Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same.
8καθ᾿ ὃν τρόπον εἶδον τοὺς ἀροτριῶντας τὰ ἄτοπα, οἱ δὲ σπείροντες αὐτὰ ὀδύνας θεριοῦσιν ἑαυτοῖς.
9By the blast of God they perish, and by the breath of his nostrils are they consumed.
9ἀπὸ προστάγματος Κυρίου ἀπολοῦνται, ἀπὸ δὲ πνεύματος ὀργῆς αὐτοῦ ἀφανισθήσονται.
10The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, and the teeth of the young lions, are broken.
10σθένος λέοντος, φωνὴ δὲ λεαίνης, γαυρίαμα δὲ δρακόντων ἐσβέσθη·
11The old lion perisheth for lack of prey, and the stout lion’s whelps are scattered abroad.
11μυρμηκολέων ὤλετο παρὰ τὸ μὴ ἔχειν βοράν, σκύμνοι δὲ λεόντων ἔλιπον ἀλλήλους.
12Now a thing was secretly brought to me, and mine ear received a little thereof.
12εἰ δέ τι ρῆμα ἀληθινὸν ἐγεγόνει ἐν λόγοις σου, οὐθὲν ἄν σοι τούτων κακὸν ἀπήντησε. πότερον οὐ δέξεταί μου τὸ οὖς ἐξαίσια παρ᾿ αὐτοῦ;
13In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falleth on men,
13φόβοι δὲ καὶ ἠχὼ νυκτερινή, ἐπιπίπτων φόβος ἐπ᾿ ἀνθρώπους,
14Fear came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones to shake.
14φρίκη δέ μοι συνήντησε καὶ τρόμος καὶ μεγάλως μου τὰ ὀστᾶ διέσεισε,
15Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up:
15καὶ πνεῦμα ἐπὶ πρόσωπόν μου ἐπῆλθεν, ἔφριξαν δέ μου τρίχες καὶ σάρκες.
16It stood still, but I could not discern the form thereof: an image was before mine eyes, there was silence, and I heard a voice, saying ,
16ἀνέστην, καὶ οὐκ ἐπέγνων· εἶδον, καὶ οὐκ ἦν μορφὴ πρὸ ὀφθαλμῶν μου, ἀλλ᾿ ἢ αὔραν καὶ φωνὴν ἤκουον·
17Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be more pure than his maker?
17τί γάρ; μὴ καθαρὸς ἔσται βροτὸς ἐναντίον τοῦ Κυρίου ἢ ἀπὸ τῶν ἔργων αὐτοῦ ἄμεμπτος ἀνήρ;
18Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his angels he charged with folly:
18εἰ κατὰ παίδων αὐτοῦ οὐ πιστεύει, κατὰ δὲ ἀγγέλων αὐτοῦ σκολιόν τι ἐπενόησε,
19How much less in them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, which are crushed before the moth?
19τοὺς δὲ κατοικοῦντας οἰκίας πηλίνας, ἐξ ὧν καὶ αὐτοὶ ἐκ τοῦ αὐτοῦ πηλοῦ ἐσμεν, ἔπαισεν αὐτοὺς σητὸς τρόπον·
20They are destroyed from morning to evening: they perish for ever without any regarding it .
20καὶ ἀπὸ πρωΐθεν μέχρις ἑσπέρας οὐκέτι εἰσί, παρὰ τὸ μὴ δύνασθαι αὐτοὺς ἑαυτοῖς βοηθῆσαι ἀπώλοντο.
21Doth not their excellency which is in them go away? they die, even without wisdom.
21ἐνεφύσησε γὰρ αὐτοῖς καὶ ἐξηράνθησαν, ἀπώλοντο παρὰ τὸ μὴ ἔχειν αὐτοὺς σοφίαν.
