Notes on this text (3)
- Church Slavonic in its traditional (Synodal) spelling, with accents, breathings and titlo abbreviations, shown in the Ponomar font (SIL Open Font License).
- Exodus 36–39 follow the Septuagint's order; the digital source has no verse divisions there, so Exodus 36:8–end and chapters 37, 38 and 39 each appear as one block.
- Not shown: the lectionary pericope numbers (зача́ло) and the marginal glosses of the digital source. The Prayer of Manasseh stands at the end of 2 Chronicles (36:24), as in the Slavonic Bible; the prologue of Sirach and the opening verse of Lamentations are joined to verse 1.

1 Ѿвѣща́въ же і҆́ѡвъ, речѐ:
1 Then Job answered,
2 слы́шахъ сицєва́ѧ мнѡ́га, ᲂу҆тѣ́шителїе ѕѡ́лъ всѝ.
2 “I have heard many such things. You are all miserable comforters!
3 Что́ бо; є҆да̀ чи́нъ є҆́сть во словесѣ́хъ вѣ́тра; и҆лѝ кꙋ́ю тѝ па́кость сотвори́тъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѿвѣща́еши;
3 Shall vain words have an end? Or what provokes you that you answer?
4 И҆ а҆́зъ ꙗ҆́коже вы̀ возглаго́лю: а҆́ще бы дꙋша̀ ва́ша подлежа́ла вмѣ́стѡ моеѧ̀, тогда̀ наскочи́лъ бы́хъ на вы̀ словесы̀, покива́ю же на вы̀ главо́ю мое́ю.
4 I also could speak as you do. If your soul were in my soul’s place, I could join words together against you, and shake my head at you,
5 Бꙋ́ди же крѣ́пость во ᲂу҆стѣ́хъ мои́хъ, движе́нїѧ же ᲂу҆сте́нъ не пощажꙋ̀.
5 but I would strengthen you with my mouth. The solace of my lips would relieve you.
6 А҆́ще бо возглаго́лю, не возболю́ ли ꙗ҆́звою; а҆́ще же и҆ ᲂу҆молчꙋ̀, чи́мъ ме́ньше ᲂу҆ѧ́звенъ бꙋ́дꙋ;
6 “Though I speak, my grief is not subsided. Though I forbear, what am I eased?
7 Нн҃ѣ же преꙋтрꙋжде́на мѧ̀ сотворѝ, бꙋ́ѧ, согни́вша, и҆ ꙗ҆́тъ мѧ̀.
7 But now, God, you have surely worn me out. You have made all my company desolate.
8 Въ послꙋ́шество бы́хъ, и҆ воста̀ во мнѣ̀ лжа̀ моѧ̀, проти́внѡ лицꙋ̀ моемꙋ̀ ѿвѣща̀.
8 You have shriveled me up. This is a witness against me. My leanness rises up against me. It testifies to my face.
9 Гнѣ́венъ бы́въ низложи́ мѧ, возскрежета̀ зꙋбы̀ на мѧ̀, стрѣ́лы разбо́йникѡвъ є҆гѡ̀ нападо́ша на мѧ̀.
9 He has torn me in his wrath and persecuted me. He has gnashed on me with his teeth. My adversary sharpens his eyes on me.
10 Ѻ҆строто́ю ѻ҆че́съ наскака̀, мече́мъ порази́ мѧ въ колѣ̑на: вкꙋ́пѣ же потеко́ша на мѧ̀:
10 They have gaped on me with their mouth. They have struck me on the cheek reproachfully. They gather themselves together against me.
11 предаде́ бо мѧ̀ гдⷭ҇ь въ рꙋ́ки непра́ведныхъ, нечести̑вымъ же пове́рже мѧ̀.
11 God delivers me to the ungodly, and casts me into the hands of the wicked.
12 Ми́рствꙋюща разсы́па мѧ̀, взѧ́въ мѧ̀ за власы̀ ѡ҆борва̀, поста́ви мѧ̀ а҆́ки примѣ́тꙋ.
12 I was at ease, and he broke me apart. Yes, he has taken me by the neck, and dashed me to pieces. He has also set me up for his target.
13 Ѡ҆быдо́ша мѧ̀ ко́пїѧми бодꙋ́ще во и҆сте́сы моѧ̑, не щадѧ́ще: и҆злїѧ́ша на зе́млю же́лчь мою̀,
13 His archers surround me. He splits my kidneys apart, and does not spare. He pours out my bile on the ground.
14 низложи́ша мѧ̀ трꙋ́пъ на трꙋ́пъ, теко́ша ко мнѣ̀ могꙋ́щїи,
14 He breaks me with breach on breach. He runs at me like a giant.
15 вре́тище соши́ша на ко́жꙋ мою̀, и҆ мо́щь моѧ̀ на землѝ ᲂу҆гасѐ.
15 I have sewed sackcloth on my skin, and have thrust my horn in the dust.
16 Чре́во моѐ сгорѣ̀ ѿ пла́ча, на вѣ́ждахъ же мои́хъ стѣ́нь сме́ртнаѧ,
16 My face is red with weeping. Deep darkness is on my eyelids,
17 непра́ведно же ни є҆ди́но бѣ̀ въ рꙋкꙋ̀ моє́ю: моли́тва же моѧ̀ чиста̀.
17 although there is no violence in my hands, and my prayer is pure.
18 Землѐ, да не покры́еши над̾ кро́вїю пло́ти моеѧ̀, нижѐ да бꙋ́детъ мѣ́сто во́плю моемꙋ̀.
18 “Earth, don’t cover my blood. Let my cry have no place to rest.
19 И҆ нн҃ѣ сѐ, на нб҃сѣ́хъ по́слꙋхъ мо́й, свидѣ́тель же мѝ во вы́шнихъ.
19 Even now, behold, my witness is in heaven. He who vouches for me is on high.
20 Да прїи́детъ моѧ̀ мольба̀ ко гдⷭ҇ꙋ, пред̾ ни́мже да ка́плетъ ѻ҆́ко моѐ.
20 My friends scoff at me. My eyes pour out tears to God,
21 Бꙋ́ди же ѡ҆бличе́нїе мꙋ́жꙋ пред̾ гдⷭ҇емъ, и҆ сы́нꙋ человѣ́ческомꙋ ко бли́жнемꙋ є҆гѡ̀.
21 that he would maintain the right of a man with God, of a son of man with his neighbor!
22 Лѣ̑та же и҆зочтє́наѧ прїидо́ша, и҆ пꙋте́мъ, и҆́мже не возвращꙋ́сѧ, пойдꙋ̀.
22 For when a few years have come, I will go the way of no return.
