1 Ѿвѣща́въ же є҆лїꙋ́съ, речѐ:
1 Moreover Elihu answered,
2 послꙋ́шайте менѐ, премꙋ́дрїи: свѣ́дꙋщїи, внꙋши́те (꙳до́брое),
2 “Hear my words, you wise men. Give ear to me, you who have knowledge.
3 ꙗ҆́кѡ ᲂу҆́хо словеса̀ и҆скꙋша́етъ, горта́нь же вкꙋша́етъ бра́шна.
3 For the ear tries words, as the palate tastes food.
4 Сꙋ́дъ и҆збере́мъ себѣ̀, ᲂу҆разꙋмѣ́емъ посредѣ̀ себє̀, что̀ лꙋ́чшее.
4 Let us choose for us that which is right. Let us know among ourselves what is good.
5 Ꙗ҆́кѡ речѐ і҆́ѡвъ: првⷣнъ є҆́смь, гдⷭ҇ь ѿѧ́тъ мѝ сꙋ́дъ,
5 For Job has said, ‘I am righteous, God has taken away my right.
6 солга́ же сꙋдꙋ̀ моемꙋ̀: наси́льна стрѣла̀ моѧ̀ без̾ непра́вды.
6 Notwithstanding my right I am considered a liar. My wound is incurable, though I am without disobedience.’
7 Кто̀ мꙋ́жъ, ꙗ҆́коже і҆́ѡвъ, пїѧ́й порꙋга́нїе, ꙗ҆́коже во́дꙋ,
7 What man is like Job, who drinks scorn like water,
8 не согрѣша́ѧ, нижѐ нече́ствовавъ, нижѐ приѡбщи́всѧ къ творѧ́щымъ беззакѡ́нїѧ, є҆́же ходи́ти съ нечести́выми;
8 who goes in company with the workers of iniquity, and walks with wicked men?
9 Не рцы́ бо, ꙗ҆́кѡ нѣ́сть посѣще́нїѧ мꙋ́жеви, и҆ посѣще́нїѧ є҆мꙋ̀ ѿ гдⷭ҇а.
9 For he has said, ‘It profits a man nothing that he should delight himself with God.’
10 Тѣ́мже, разꙋми́вїи се́рдцемъ, послꙋ́шайте менѐ, не бꙋ́ди мѝ пред̾ гдⷭ҇емъ нече́ствовати и҆ пред̾ вседержи́телемъ возмꙋти́ти пра́вдꙋ:
10 “Therefore listen to me, you men of understanding: far be it from God, that he should do wickedness, from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity.
11 но воздае́тъ человѣ́кови, ꙗ҆́коже твори́тъ кі́йждо и҆́хъ, и҆ на стезѝ мꙋ́жестѣй ѡ҆брѧ́щетъ и҆̀.
11 For the work of a man he will give to him, and cause every man to find according to his ways.
12 Мни́ши же гдⷭ҇а нелѣ̑паѧ сотвори́ти, и҆лѝ вседержи́тель смѧте́тъ сꙋ́дъ, и҆́же сотворѝ зе́млю;
12 Yes surely, God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert justice.
13 Кто́ же є҆́сть творѧ́й поднебе́снꙋю и҆ ꙗ҆̀же въ не́й всѧ́чєскаѧ;
13 Who put him in charge of the earth? Or who has appointed him over the whole world?
14 А҆́ще бо восхо́щетъ запрети́ти и҆ дꙋ́хъ ᲂу҆ себє̀ ᲂу҆держа́ти,
14 If he set his heart on himself, if he gathered to himself his spirit and his breath,
15 ᲂу҆́мретъ всѧ́ка пло́ть вкꙋ́пѣ, всѧ́къ же человѣ́къ въ зе́млю по́йдетъ, ѿню́дꙋже и҆ со́зданъ бы́сть.
15 all flesh would perish together, and man would turn again to dust.
16 А҆́ще же не ᲂу҆вѣща́ешисѧ, послꙋ́шай си́хъ, внꙋшѝ гла́съ глагѡ́лъ.
16 “If now you have understanding, hear this. Listen to the voice of my words.
17 Ви́ждь ты̀ ненави́дѧщаго беззакѡ́ннаѧ и҆ гꙋбѧ́щаго лꙋка̑выѧ, сꙋ́ща, вѣ́чна, првⷣна.
17 Should even one who hates justice govern? Will you condemn him who is righteous and mighty,
18 Нечести́въ є҆́сть глаго́лѧй царе́ви, зако́нъ престꙋпа́еши, нечести́вѣйше, кнѧзє́мъ:
18 who says to a king, ‘Vile!’ or to nobles, ‘Wicked!’?
19 и҆́же не постыдѣ́сѧ лица̀ честна́гѡ, нижѐ вѣ́сть че́сть возложи́ти си̑льнымъ, ᲂу҆диви́тисѧ ли́цамъ и҆́хъ.
19 He doesn’t respect the persons of princes, nor respect the rich more than the poor, for they all are the work of his hands.
20 Тще́ же и҆̀мъ сбꙋ́детсѧ, є҆́же возопи́ти и҆ моли́ти мꙋ́жа: занѐ ᲂу҆потреби́ша беззако́ннѡ, безче́стѧще немощны́хъ.
20 In a moment they die, even at midnight. The people are shaken and pass away. The mighty are taken away without a hand.
21 То́й бо зри́тель є҆́сть дѣ́лъ человѣ́ческихъ, ᲂу҆таи́сѧ же ѿ негѡ̀ ничто́же ѿ тѣ́хъ, ꙗ҆̀же творѧ́тъ:
21 “For his eyes are on the ways of a man. He sees all his goings.
22 нижѐ бꙋ́детъ мѣ́сто ᲂу҆кры́тисѧ творѧ́щымъ беззакѡ́ннаѧ:
22 There is no darkness, nor thick gloom, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.
23 ꙗ҆́кѡ не на мꙋ́жа положи́тъ є҆щѐ.
23 For he doesn’t need to consider a man further, that he should go before God in judgment.
24 Гдⷭ҇ь бо всѣ́хъ ви́дитъ, постиза́ѧй неизслѣ̑днаѧ, сла̑внаѧ же и҆ и҆зрѧ̑днаѧ, и҆̀мже нѣ́сть числа̀,
24 He breaks mighty men in pieces in ways past finding out, and sets others in their place.
25 свѣ́дый и҆́хъ дѣла̀, и҆ ѡ҆брати́тъ но́щь, и҆ смирѧ́тсѧ.
25 Therefore he takes knowledge of their works. He overturns them in the night, so that they are destroyed.
26 Оу҆гаси́ же нечести̑выѧ, ви́дими же пред̾ ни́мъ:
26 He strikes them as wicked men in the open sight of others;
27 ꙗ҆́кѡ ᲂу҆клони́шасѧ ѿ зако́на бж҃їѧ, ѡ҆правда́нїй же є҆гѡ̀ не позна́ша,
27 because they turned away from following him, and wouldn’t pay attention to any of his ways,
28 є҆́же вознестѝ къ немꙋ̀ во́пль ни́щихъ, и҆ во́пль ᲂу҆бо́гихъ ᲂу҆слы́шитъ.
28 so that they caused the cry of the poor to come to him. He heard the cry of the afflicted.
29 И҆ то́й тишинꙋ̀ пода́стъ, и҆ кто̀ ѡ҆сꙋ́дитъ; и҆ сокры́етъ лицѐ, и҆ кто̀ ᲂу҆́зритъ є҆го̀; и҆ на ꙗ҆зы́къ, и҆ на человѣ́ка вкꙋ́пѣ,
29 When he gives quietness, who then can condemn? When he hides his face, who then can see him? He is over a nation or a man alike,
30 и҆́же поставлѧ́етъ царе́мъ человѣ́ка лицемѣ́ра за стропти́вость люді́й.
30 that the godless man may not reign, that there be no one to ensnare the people.
31 Ꙗ҆́кѡ къ крѣ́пкомꙋ глаго́лѧй: взѧ́хъ, не ѿимꙋ̀ вмѣ́стѡ зало́га:
31 “For has any said to God, ‘I am guilty, but I will not offend any more.
32 без̾ менє̀ ᲂу҆зрю̀, ты̀ покажи́ ми: а҆́ще непра́вдꙋ содѣ́лахъ, не и҆́мамъ приложи́ти.
32 Teach me that which I don’t see. If I have done iniquity, I will do it no more’?
33 Є҆да̀ ѿ тебє̀ и҆стѧ́жетъ ю҆̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ ты̀ ѿри́неши, ꙗ҆́кѡ ты̀ и҆збере́ши, а҆ не а҆́зъ ли; и҆ что̀ разꙋмѣ́еши; глаго́ли.
33 Shall his recompense be as you desire, that you refuse it? For you must choose, and not I. Therefore speak what you know.
34 Тѣ́мже смы́сленнїи се́рдцемъ рекꙋ́тъ сїѧ̑, мꙋ́жъ же премꙋ́дръ ᲂу҆слы́ша глаго́лъ мо́й.
34 Men of understanding will tell me, yes, every wise man who hears me:
35 І҆́ѡвъ же не въ ра́зꙋмѣ глаго́лаше, словеса́ же є҆гѡ̀ не въ хи́трости.
35 ‘Job speaks without knowledge. His words are without wisdom.’
36 Ѻ҆ба́че навы́кни, і҆́ѡве, не да́ждь є҆щѐ ѿвѣ́та, ꙗ҆́коже немꙋ́дрїи:
36 I wish that Job were tried to the end, because of his answering like wicked men.
37 да не приложи́мъ на грѣхѝ на́шѧ: беззако́нїе же на на́съ вмѣни́тсѧ, мнѡ́гаѧ глаго́лющихъ словеса̀ на гдⷭ҇а.
37 For he adds rebellion to his sin. He claps his hands among us, and multiplies his words against God.”

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Quotes verse 34:30 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book V, Chapters 19–20)

    in another place it is most unambiguously said of God, that He "maketh the man who is an hypocrite to reign on account of the perver sity of the people." Wherefore, though I have, according to my ability, shown for what reason God, who alone is true and just, helped forward the Romans, who were good according to a certain …
