1 Ѿвѣща́въ же і҆́ѡвъ, речѐ:
1 Then Job answered,
2 вои́стиннꙋ вѣ́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ та́кѡ є҆́сть: ка́кѡ бо бꙋ́детъ пра́веденъ человѣ́къ ᲂу҆ гдⷭ҇а;
2 “Truly I know that it is so, but how can man be just with God?
3 а҆́ще бо восхо́щетъ сꙋди́тисѧ съ ни́мъ, не послꙋ́шаетъ є҆гѡ̀, да не пререче́тъ ко є҆ди́номꙋ словесѝ є҆гѡ̀ ѿ ты́сѧщи.
3 If he is pleased to contend with him, he can’t answer him one time in a thousand.
4 Премⷣръ бо є҆́сть мы́слїю, крѣ́покъ же и҆ вели́къ: кто̀ же́стокъ бы́въ проти́вꙋ є҆гѡ̀, пребы́сть;
4 God is wise in heart, and mighty in strength. Who has hardened himself against him and prospered?
5 Ѡ҆бетша́ѧй го́ры, и҆ не вѣ́дѧтъ, превраща́ѧй ѧ҆̀ гнѣ́вомъ:
5 He removes the mountains, and they don’t know it, when he overturns them in his anger.
6 трѧсы́й поднебе́снꙋю и҆з̾ ѡ҆снова́нїй, столпи́ же є҆ѧ̀ коле́блютсѧ:
6 He shakes the earth out of its place. Its pillars tremble.
7 гл҃ѧй со́лнцꙋ, и҆ не восхо́дитъ, ѕвѣ́зды же печа́тствꙋетъ:
7 He commands the sun and it doesn’t rise, and seals up the stars.
8 простры́й є҆ди́нъ не́бо и҆ ходѧ́й но мо́рю, ꙗ҆́кѡ по землѝ:
8 He alone stretches out the heavens, and treads on the waves of the sea.
9 творѧ́й плїа̑ды и҆ є҆спе́ра, и҆ а҆рктꙋ́ра и҆ сокрѡ́вища ю҆́жнаѧ:
9 He makes the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades, and the rooms of the south.
10 творѧ́й вє́лїѧ и҆ неизслѣ́дѡваннаѧ, сла̑внаѧ же и҆ и҆зрѧ̑днаѧ, и҆̀мже нѣ́сть числа̀.
10 He does great things past finding out; yes, marvelous things without number.
11 А҆́ще прїи́детъ ко мнѣ̀, не и҆́мамъ ви́дѣти: и҆ а҆́ще мимои́детъ менє̀, ника́кѡ ᲂу҆разꙋмѣ́хъ.
11 Behold, he goes by me, and I don’t see him. He passes on also, but I don’t perceive him.
12 А҆́ще во́зметъ, кто̀ возврати́тъ; и҆лѝ кто̀ рече́тъ є҆мꙋ̀: что̀ сотвори́лъ є҆сѝ;
12 Behold, he snatches away. Who can hinder him? Who will ask him, ‘What are you doing?’
13 Са́мъ бо ѿвраща́етъ гнѣ́въ, слѧко́шасѧ под̾ ни́мъ ки́ти поднебе́снїи.
13 “God will not withdraw his anger. The helpers of Rahab stoop under him.
14 А҆́ще же мѧ̀ ᲂу҆слы́шитъ, и҆лѝ разсꙋ́дитъ глаго́лы моѧ̑;
14 How much less will I answer him, and choose my words to argue with him?
15 А҆́ще бо и҆ пра́веденъ бꙋ́дꙋ, не ᲂу҆слы́шитъ менѐ, сꙋдꙋ̀ є҆гѡ̀ помолю́сѧ:
15 Though I were righteous, yet I wouldn’t answer him. I would make supplication to my judge.
16 а҆́ще же воззовꙋ̀, и҆ ᲂу҆слы́шитъ мѧ̀, не и҆мꙋ̀ вѣ́ры, ꙗ҆́кѡ ᲂу҆слы́ша гла́съ мо́й.
16 If I had called, and he had answered me, yet I wouldn’t believe that he listened to my voice.
17 Да не мгло́ю мѧ̀ потреби́тъ, мнѡ́га же мѝ сотрє́нїѧ сотворѝ всꙋ́е,
17 For he breaks me with a storm, and multiplies my wounds without cause.
18 не ѡ҆ставлѧ́етъ бо мѧ̀ ѿдохнꙋ́ти, и҆спо́лни же мѧ̀ го́рести.
18 He will not allow me to catch my breath, but fills me with bitterness.
19 Поне́же си́ленъ є҆́сть крѣ́постїю: кто̀ ᲂу҆̀бо сꙋдꙋ̀ є҆гѡ̀ воспроти́витсѧ;
19 If it is a matter of strength, behold, he is mighty! If of justice, ‘Who,’ says he, ‘will summon me?’
20 А҆́ще бо бꙋ́дꙋ пра́веденъ, ᲂу҆ста̀ моѧ̑ нечє́стїѧ сотворѧ́тъ: а҆́ще же бꙋ́дꙋ непоро́ченъ, стро́потенъ бꙋ́дꙋ.
20 Though I am righteous, my own mouth will condemn me. Though I am blameless, it will prove me perverse.
21 А҆́ще бо нече́стїе сотвори́хъ, не вѣ́мъ дꙋше́ю мое́ю: ѻ҆ба́че ѿе́млетсѧ мѝ живо́тъ.
21 I am blameless. I don’t respect myself. I despise my life.
22 Тѣ́мже рѣ́хъ: вели́ка и҆ си́льна гꙋби́тъ гнѣ́въ.
22 “It is all the same. Therefore I say he destroys the blameless and the wicked.
23 Ꙗ҆́кѡ лꙋка́вїи сме́ртїю лю́тою поги́бнꙋтъ, ѻ҆ба́че пра́вєднымъ посмѣва́ютсѧ.
23 If the scourge kills suddenly, he will mock at the trial of the innocent.
24 Пре́дана є҆́сть землѧ̀ въ рꙋ́цѣ нечести́вагѡ, ли́ца сꙋді́й є҆ѧ̀ покрыва́етъ: а҆́ще же не са́мъ є҆́сть, кто̀ є҆́сть;
24 The earth is given into the hand of the wicked. He covers the faces of its judges. If not he, then who is it?
25 Житїе́ же моѐ є҆́сть легча́е скороте́чца: ѿбѣго́ша и҆ не ви́дѣша.
25 “Now my days are swifter than a runner. They flee away. They see no good.
26 И҆лѝ є҆́сть кораблє́мъ слѣ́дъ пꙋтѝ, и҆лѝ ѻ҆рла̀ летѧ́ща, и҆́щꙋща ꙗ҆́ди;
26 They have passed away as the swift ships, as the eagle that swoops on the prey.
27 А҆́ще бо рекꙋ̀: забꙋ́дꙋ глаго́лѧ, прини́кнꙋвъ лице́мъ воздохнꙋ̀,
27 If I say, ‘I will forget my complaint, I will put off my sad face, and cheer up,’
28 трѧсꙋ́сѧ всѣ́ми ᲂу҆десы̀: вѣ́мъ бо, ꙗ҆́кѡ не безви́нна мѧ̀ ѡ҆ста́виши.
28 I am afraid of all my sorrows. I know that you will not hold me innocent.
29 А҆́ще же нечести́въ є҆́смь, почто̀ не ᲂу҆мро́хъ;
29 I will be condemned. Why then do I labor in vain?
30 А҆́ще бо и҆змы́юсѧ снѣ́гомъ и҆ ѡ҆чи́щꙋсѧ рꙋка́ми чи́стыми,
30 If I wash myself with snow, and cleanse my hands with lye,
31 дово́льнѡ во скве́рнѣ ѡ҆мочи́лъ мѧ̀ є҆сѝ, возгнꙋша́сѧ же мно́ю ѻ҆де́жда моѧ̀.
31 yet you will plunge me in the ditch. My own clothes will abhor me.
32 Нѣ́си бо человѣ́къ, ꙗ҆́коже а҆́зъ, є҆мꙋ́же противопрю́сѧ, да прїи́демъ вкꙋ́пѣ на сꙋ́дъ.
32 For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, that we should come together in judgment.
33 Ѽ, дабы̀ хода́тай на́мъ бы́лъ, и҆ ѡ҆блича́ѧй и҆ разслꙋ́шаѧй междꙋ̀ ѻ҆бѣ́ма.
33 There is no umpire between us, that might lay his hand on us both.
34 Да ѿи́метъ ѿ менє̀ же́злъ, стра́хъ же є҆гѡ̀ да не смꙋща́етъ менѐ:
34 Let him take his rod away from me. Let his terror not make me afraid;
35 и҆ не ᲂу҆бою́сѧ, но возглаго́лю, и҆́бо та́кѡ не вѣ́мъ са́мъ себѐ.
35 then I would speak, and not fear him, for I am not so in myself.

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 9:24 Augustine of Hippo, Tractates on the Gospel of John (Chapter VII — 1-13)

    That which a certain scripture says: "The earth was delivered into the hands of the ungodly." The flesh was given into the power of the Jews; and this that thereby the bag, as it were, might be rent asunder, whence our purchase-price might run out.

  2. Quotes verse 9:8 Cyril of Jerusalem, Catechetical Lectures (Lecture XI)

    And this Job said mystically, Which alone spread out the heaven, and walketh upon the sea as on firm ground; signifying to those who understand that He who when present here walked upon the sea is also He who aforetime made the heavens.

  3. Quotes verse 9:24 Augustine of Hippo, Expositions on the Psalms (Psalm XXXVII)

    "The earth is given into the hands of the wicked." What is meant by "earth" being "given into the hands of the ungodly"?

  4. Quotes verse 9:24 Augustine of Hippo, Expositions on the Psalms (Psalm XXXVIII)

    "I slept," because "I have power to lay down My life, and I have power to take it again." "I laid Me down and slept, and rose up again." Rage then the Jews; be "the earth given into the hands of the wicked," be the flesh left to the hands of persecutors, let them on wood suspend it, with nails …
