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 ко гдⷭ҇ꙋ:
1 Then Job answered Yahweh:
2 вѣ́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ всѧ̑ мо́жеши, невозмо́жно же тебѣ̀ ничто́же.
2 “I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be restrained.
3 Кто́ є҆сть таѧ́й ѿ тебє̀ совѣ́тъ, щадѧ́й же словеса̀ и҆ ѿ тебє̀ мни́тсѧ ᲂу҆таи́ти; кто́ же возвѣсти́тъ мѝ, и҆́хже не вѣ́дѣхъ, вє́лїѧ и҆ ди̑внаѧ, и҆́хже не зна́хъ;
3 You asked, ‘Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge?’ therefore I have uttered that which I didn’t understand, things too wonderful for me, which I didn’t know.
4 Послꙋ́шай же менѐ, гдⷭ҇и, да и҆ а҆́зъ возглаго́лю: вопрошꙋ́ же тѧ̀, ты́ же мѧ̀ наꙋчѝ:
4 You said, ‘Listen, now, and I will speak; I will question you, and you will answer me.’
5 слꙋ́хомъ ᲂу҆́бѡ ᲂу҆́ха слы́шахъ тѧ̀ пе́рвѣе, нн҃ѣ же ѻ҆́ко моѐ ви́дѣ тѧ̀:
5 I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees you.
6 тѣ́мже ᲂу҆кори́хъ себѐ са́мъ, и҆ и҆ста́ѧхъ, и҆ мню̀ себѐ зе́млю и҆ пе́пелъ.
6 Therefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.”
7 Бы́сть же є҆гда̀ и҆згл҃а гдⷭ҇ь всѧ̑ гл҃го́лы сїѧ̑ і҆́ѡвꙋ, речѐ гдⷭ҇ь ко є҆лїфа́зꙋ ѳемані́тинꙋ: согрѣши́лъ є҆сѝ ты̀ и҆ ѻ҆́ба дрꙋ́зїе твоѝ: не глаго́ласте бо предо мно́ю ничто́же и҆́стинно, ꙗ҆́коже ра́бъ моѝ і҆́ѡвъ:
7 It was so, that after Yahweh had spoken these words to Job, Yahweh said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My wrath is kindled against you, and against your two friends; for you have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has.
8 нн҃ѣ же возми́те се́дмь тельцє́въ и҆ се́дмь ѻ҆внѡ́въ и҆ и҆ди́те ко рабꙋ̀ моемꙋ̀ і҆́ѡвꙋ, и҆ сотвори́тъ же́ртвꙋ ѡ҆ ва́съ: і҆́ѡвъ же ра́бъ мо́й помо́литсѧ ѡ҆ ва́съ, поне́же то́чїю лицѐ є҆гѡ̀ прїимꙋ̀: а҆́ще бо не є҆гѡ̀ ра́ди, погꙋби́лъ бы́хъ ᲂу҆́бѡ ва́съ: не глаго́ласте бо и҆́стины на раба̀ моего̀ і҆́ѡва.
8 Now therefore, take to yourselves seven bulls and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you, for I will accept him, that I not deal with you according to your folly. For you have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has.”
9 Ѿи́де же є҆лїфа́зъ ѳемані́тинъ и҆ валда́дъ саѵхе́йскїй и҆ сѡфа́ръ мїне́йскїй и҆ сотвори́ша, ꙗ҆́коже повелѣ̀ и҆̀мъ гдⷭ҇ь. И҆ ѿпꙋстѝ грѣхѝ и҆̀мъ і҆́ѡва ра́ди.
9 So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went and did what Yahweh commanded them, and Yahweh accepted Job.
10 Гдⷭ҇ь же возрастѝ і҆́ѡва: молѧ́щꙋсѧ же є҆мꙋ̀ и҆ ѡ҆ дрꙋзѣ́хъ свои́хъ, ѿпꙋстѝ и҆̀мъ грѣхѝ и҆́хъ, и҆ дадѐ гдⷭ҇ь сꙋгꙋ̑баѧ, є҆ли̑ка бѧ́хꙋ пре́жде і҆́ѡвꙋ во ᲂу҆сꙋгꙋбле́нїе.
10 Yahweh restored Job’s prosperity when he prayed for his friends. Yahweh gave Job twice as much as he had before.
11 Оу҆слы́шаша же всѝ бра́тїѧ є҆гѡ̀ и҆ сєстры̀ є҆гѡ̀ всѧ̑ слꙋчи̑вшаѧсѧ є҆мꙋ̀, и҆ прїидо́ша къ немꙋ̀, и҆ всѝ є҆ли́цы зна́хꙋ є҆го̀ пе́рвѣе: ꙗ҆́дше же и҆ пи́вше ᲂу҆ негѡ̀, ᲂу҆тѣ́шиша є҆го̀ и҆ диви́шасѧ ѡ҆ всѣ́хъ, ꙗ҆̀же наведѐ на́нь бг҃ъ: даде́ же є҆мꙋ̀ кі́йждо а҆́гницꙋ є҆ди́нꙋ и҆ четы́ре дра̑хмы зла́та назна́менована.
11 Then all his brothers, all his sisters, and all those who had been of his acquaintance before, came to him and ate bread with him in his house. They comforted him, and consoled him concerning all the evil that Yahweh had brought on him. Everyone also gave him a piece of money, and everyone a ring of gold.
12 Гдⷭ҇ь же блгⷭ҇вѝ послѣ̑днѧѧ і҆́ѡвлѧ, не́же прє́жнѧѧ: бѧ́хꙋ же ско́ти є҆гѡ̀, ѻ҆ве́цъ четырена́десѧть ты́сѧщъ, вельблю́дѡвъ ше́сть ты́сѧщъ, сꙋпрꙋ̑гъ волѡ́въ ты́сѧща, ѻ҆сли́цъ ста́дныхъ ты́сѧща.
12 So Yahweh blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning. He had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, one thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand female donkeys.
13 Роди́шажесѧ є҆мꙋ̀ сы́нове се́дмь и҆ дщє́ри трѝ:
13 He had also seven sons and three daughters.
14 и҆ наречѐ пе́рвꙋю ᲂу҆́бѡ де́нь, вторꙋ́ю же кассі́ю, тре́тїю же а҆малѳе́евъ ро́гъ:
14 He called the name of the first, Jemimah; and the name of the second, Keziah; and the name of the third, Keren Happuch.
15 и҆ не ѡ҆брѣто́шасѧ подѡ́бны въ лѣ́потѣ дще́ремъ і҆́ѡвлєвымъ въ поднебе́снѣй: даде́ же и҆̀мъ ѻ҆те́цъ наслѣ́дїе въ бра́тїи и҆́хъ.
15 In all the land were no women found so beautiful as the daughters of Job. Their father gave them an inheritance among their brothers.
16 Поживе́ же і҆́ѡвъ по ꙗ҆́звѣ лѣ́тъ сто̀ се́дмьдесѧтъ, всѣ́хъ же лѣ́тъ поживѐ двѣ́сти четы́редесѧть ѻ҆́смь. И҆ ви́дѣ і҆́ѡвъ сы́ны своѧ̑ и҆ сы́ны сынѡ́въ свои́хъ, да́же до четве́ртагѡ ро́да.
16 After this Job lived one hundred forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons’ sons, to four generations.
17 И҆ сконча́сѧ і҆́ѡвъ ста́ръ и҆ и҆спо́лнь дні́й. Пи́сано же є҆́сть па́ки воста́ти є҆мꙋ̀, съ ни́миже гдⷭ҇ь возста́витъ и҆̀. Та́кѡ толкꙋ́етсѧ ѿ сѵ́рскїѧ кни́ги: въ землѝ ᲂу҆́бѡ живы́й а҆ѵсїтїді́йстѣй, на предѣ́лѣхъ і҆дꙋме́и и҆ а҆раві́и: пре́жде же бѧ́ше и҆́мѧ є҆мꙋ̀ і҆ѡва́въ: взе́мъ же женꙋ̀ а҆ра́влѧныню, родѝ сы́на, є҆мꙋ́же и҆́мѧ є҆ннѡ́нъ: бѣ́ же то́й ѻ҆тца̀ ᲂу҆́бѡ заре́ѳа, и҆са́ѵовыхъ сынѡ́въ сы́нъ, ма́тере же восо́рры, ꙗ҆́коже бы́ти є҆мꙋ̀ пѧ́томꙋ ѿ а҆враа́ма. И҆ сі́и ца́рїе ца́рствовавшїи во є҆дѡ́мѣ, є҆́юже и҆ то́й ѡ҆блада́ше страно́ю: пе́рвый вала́къ сы́нъ веѡ́ровъ, и҆ и҆́мѧ гра́дꙋ є҆гѡ̀ деннава̀: по вала́цѣ же і҆ѡва́въ, нарица́емый і҆́ѡвъ: по се́мъ а҆сѡ́мъ бы́вшїй во́ждь ѿ ѳеманїтїді́йскїѧ страны̀: по се́мъ а҆да́дъ, сы́нъ вара́довъ, и҆́же и҆зсѣчѐ мадїа́ма на по́ли мѡа́вли, и҆ и҆́мѧ гра́дꙋ є҆гѡ̀ геѳе́мъ. Прише́дшїи же къ немꙋ̀ дрꙋ́зїе, є҆лїфа́зъ (сы́нъ сѡфа́нь) ѿ сынѡ́въ и҆са́ѵовыхъ, ца́рь ѳемані́йскїй, валда́дъ (сы́нъ а҆мнѡ́на хова́рскагѡ) саѵхе́йскїй власти́тель, сѡфа́ръ мїне́йскїй ца́рь.
17 So Job died, being old and full of days.

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).
… of the holy Job while yet in this mortal body, when he says to God, "I have heard of Thee by the hearing of the ear; but now mine eye seeth Thee: wherefore I abhor myself, and melt away, and count myself dust and ashes;" although there is no reason why we should not understand this of the eye of …

… hearing such things, I being nothing?" And again, "I have heard of Thee before, as far as hearing of the ear; but now mine eye hath seen Thee; wherefore I have made myself vile, and have melted away; and I accounted myself earth and ashes." This fortitude then, this moderation, of him that was before law and grace, let us …
