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 Ѿвѣща́ же є҆лїфа́зъ ѳемані́тинъ, глаго́лѧ:
1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered,
2 є҆да̀ мно́жицею глаго́лано тѝ бы́сть въ трꙋдѣ̀; тѧ́жести же глагѡ́лъ твои́хъ кто̀ стерпи́тъ;
2 “If someone ventures to talk with you, will you be grieved? But who can withhold himself from speaking?
3 а҆́ще бо ты̀ наꙋчи́лъ є҆сѝ мнѡ́ги и҆ рꙋ́цѣ немощны́хъ ᲂу҆тѣ́шилъ є҆сѝ,
3 Behold, you have instructed many, you have strengthened the weak hands.
4 немѡщны́ѧ же воздви́глъ є҆сѝ словесы̀, колѣ́нѡмъ же немѡщны́мъ си́лꙋ ѡ҆бложи́лъ є҆сѝ.
4 Your words have supported him who was falling, you have made the feeble knees firm.
5 Нн҃ѣ же прїи́де на тѧ̀ болѣ́знь и҆ коснꙋ́сѧ тебє̀, ты́ же возмꙋти́лсѧ є҆сѝ.
5 But now it has come to you, and you faint. It touches you, and you are troubled.
6 Є҆да̀ стра́хъ тво́й є҆́сть не въ безꙋ́мїи, и҆ наде́жда твоѧ̀ и҆ ѕло́ба пꙋтѝ твоегѡ̀;
6 Isn’t your piety your confidence? Isn’t the integrity of your ways your hope?
7 Помѧнѝ ᲂу҆̀бо, кто̀ чи́стъ сы́й поги́бе; и҆лѝ когда̀ и҆́стиннїи всѝ и҆з̾ ко́рене погибо́ша;
7 “Remember, now, who ever perished, being innocent? Or where were the upright cut off?
8 Ꙗ҆́коже ви́дѣхъ ѡ҆рю́щихъ неподѡ́бнаѧ, сѣ́ющїи же ѧ҆̀ бѡлѣ́зни по́жнꙋтъ себѣ̀,
8 According to what I have seen, those who plow iniquity and sow trouble, reap the same.
9 ѿ повелѣ́нїѧ гдⷭ҇нѧ поги́бнꙋтъ, ѿ дх҃а же гнѣ́ва є҆гѡ̀ и҆сче́знꙋтъ.
9 By the breath of God they perish. By the blast of his anger are they consumed.
10 Си́ла льво́ва, гла́съ же льви́цы, весе́лїе же ѕмїє́въ ᲂу҆гасѐ:
10 The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, the teeth of the young lions, are broken.
11 мраволе́въ поги́бе, зане́же не и҆мѣ́ѧше бра́шна, скѵ́мни же львѡ́вы ѡ҆ста́виша дрꙋ́гъ дрꙋ́гꙋ.
11 The old lion perishes for lack of prey. The cubs of the lioness are scattered abroad.
12 А҆́ще же глаго́лъ кі́й и҆́стиненъ бѣ̀ во словесѣ́хъ твои́хъ, нико́еже бы̀ ѿ си́хъ тѧ̀ срѣ́тило ѕло̀. не прїи́метъ ли ᲂу҆́хо моѐ преди́вныхъ ѿ негѡ̀;
12 “Now a thing was secretly brought to me. My ear received a whisper of it.
13 Стра́хомъ же и҆ гла́сомъ нощны́мъ, напа́дающь стра́хъ на человѣ́ки,
13 In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falls on men,
14 ᲂу҆́жасъ же мѧ̀ срѣ́те и҆ тре́петъ, и҆ ѕѣлѡ̀ кѡ́сти моѧ̑ стрѧсѐ:
14 fear came on me, and trembling, which made all my bones shake.
15 и҆ дꙋ́хъ на лице́ ми на́йде: ᲂу҆страши́шасѧ же мѝ власѝ и҆ плѡ́ти,
15 Then a spirit passed before my face. The hair of my flesh stood up.
16 воста́хъ и҆ не разꙋмѣ́хъ, ви́дѣхъ, и҆ не бѣ̀ ѡ҆бли́чїѧ пред̾ ѻ҆чи́ма мои́ма, но то́кмѡ дꙋ́хъ ти́хъ и҆ гла́съ слы́шахъ:
16 It stood still, but I couldn’t discern its appearance. A form was before my eyes. Silence, then I heard a voice, saying,
17 что́ бо; є҆да̀ чи́стъ бꙋ́детъ человѣ́къ пред̾ бг҃омъ; и҆лѝ въ дѣ́лѣхъ свои́хъ без̾ поро́ка мꙋ́жъ;
17 ‘Shall mortal man be more just than God? Shall a man be more pure than his Maker?
18 а҆́ще рабѡ́мъ свои̑мъ не вѣ́рꙋетъ, и҆ во а҆́гг҃лѣхъ свои́хъ стро́потно что̀ ᲂу҆смотрѣ̀,
18 Behold, he puts no trust in his servants. He charges his angels with error.
19 живꙋ́щихъ же въ бре́нныхъ хра́минахъ, ѿ ни́хже и҆ мы̀ са́ми ѿ тогѡ́жде бре́нїѧ є҆смы̀, поразѝ, ꙗ҆́коже мо́лїе,
19 How much more those who dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed before the moth!
20 и҆ ѿ ᲂу҆́тра да́же до ве́чера ктомꙋ̀ не сꙋ́ть: зане́же не мого́ша себѣ̀ помощѝ, погибо́ша:
20 Between morning and evening they are destroyed. They perish forever without any regarding it.
21 дхнꙋ́ бо на нѧ̀, и҆ и҆зсхо́ша, и҆ поне́же не и҆мѣ́ѧхꙋ премꙋ́дрости, погибо́ша.
21 Isn’t their tent cord plucked up within them? They die, and that without wisdom.’
