Notes on this text (1)

1 Μετὰ τοῦτο ἤνοιξεν Ἰὼβ τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ, 2 καὶ κατηράσατο τὴν ἡμέραν αὐτοῦ, λέγων, 3 Ἀπόλοιτο ἡ ἡμέρα ἐν ᾗ ἐγεννήθην, καὶ ἡ νὺξ ἐκείνη ᾗ εἶπαν, Ἰδοὺ ἄρσεν. 4 Ἡ νὺξ ἐκείνη εἴη σκότος, καὶ μὴ ἀναζητήσαι αὐτὴν ὁ Κύριος ἄνωθεν, μηδὲ ἔλθοι εἰς αὐτὴν φέγγος· 5 Ἐκλάβοι δὲ αὐτὴν σκότος καὶ σκιὰ θανάτου, ἐπέλθοι ἐπʼ αὐτὴν γνόφος· 6 καταραθείη ἡ ἡμέρα καὶ ἡ νὺξ ἐκείνη, ἀπενέγκοιτο αὐτὴν σκότος· μὴ εἴη εἰς ἡμέρας ἐνιαυτοῦ, μηδὲ ἀριθμηθείη εἰς ἡμέρας μηνῶν. 7 Ἀλλὰ ἡ νὺξ ἐκείνη εἴη ὀδύνη, καὶ μὴ ἔλθοι ἐπʼ αὐτὴν εὐφροσύνη, μηδὲ χαρμονή· 8 Ἀλλὰ καταράσαιτο αὐτὴν ὁ καταρώμενος τὴν ἡμέραν ἐκείνην, ὁ μέλλων τὸ μέγα κῆτος χειρώσασθαι. 9 Σκοτωθείη τὰ ἄστρα τῆς νυκτὸς ἐκείνης· ὑπομείναι, καὶ εἰς φωτισμὸν μὴ ἔλθοι, καὶ μὴ ἴδοι Ἑωσφόρον ἀνατέλλοντα. 10 Ὅτι οὐ συνέκλεισε πύλας γαστρὸς μητρός μου, ἀπήλλαξε γὰρ ἂν πόνον ἀπὸ ὀφθαλμῶν μου. 11 Διατί γὰρ ἐν κοιλίᾳ οὐκ ἐτελεύτησα; ἐκ γαστρὸς δὲ ἐξῆλθον, καὶ οὐκ εὐθὺς ἀπωλόμην; 12 Ἱνατί δὲ συνήντησάν μοι τὰ γόνατα; ἱνατί δὲ μαστοὺς ἐθήλασα; 13 νῦν ἂν κοιμηθεὶς ἡσύχασα, ὑπνώσας δὲ ἀνεπαυσάμην 14 Νῦν ἂν κοιμηθεὶς ἡσύχασα, ὑπνώσας δὲ ἀνεπαυσάμην μετὰ βασιλέων βουλευτῶν γῆς οἳ ἐγαυριῶντο ἐπὶ ξίφεσιν, 15 ἢ μετὰ ἀρχόντων, ὧν πολὺς ὁ χρυσός, οἳ ἔπλησαν τοὺς οἴκους αὐτῶν ἀργυρίου· 16 Ἢ ὥσπερ ἔκτρωμα ἐκπορευόμενον ἐκ μήτρας μητρὸς, ἢ ὥσπερ νήπιοι, οἳ οὐκ εἶδον φῶς· 17 Ἐκεῖ ἀσεβεῖς ἐξέκαυσαν θυμὸν ὀργῆς, ἐκεῖ ἀνεπαύσαντο κατάκοποι τῷ σώματι. 18 Ὁμοθυμαδὸν δὲ οἱ αἰώνιοι οὐκ ἤκουσαν φωνὴν φορολόγου. 19 Μικρὸς καὶ μέγας ἐκεῖ ἐστι, καὶ θεράπων δεδοικὼς τὸν κύριον αὐτοῦ. 20 Ἱνατί γὰρ δέδοται τοῖς ἐν πικρίᾳ φῶς; ζωὴ δὲ ταῖς ἐν ὀδύναις ψυχαῖς, 21 οἳ ἱμείρονται τοῦ θανάτου, καὶ οὐ τυγχάνουσιν ἀνορύσσοντες ὥσπερ θησαυροὺς, 22 περιχαρεῖς δὲ ἐγένοντο ἐὰν κατατύχωσι; 23 Θάνατος ἀνδρὶ ἀνάπαυμα, συνέκλεισεν γὰρ ὁ Θεὸς κατʼ αὐτοῦ. 24 Πρὸ γὰρ τῶν σίτων μου στεναγμὸς ἥκει, δακρύω δὲ ἐγὼ συνεχόμενος φόβῳ. 25 Φόβος γὰρ ὃν ἐφρόντισα ἦλθέ μοι, καὶ ὃν ἐδεδοίκειν, συνήντησέν μοι. 26 Οὔτε εἰρήνευσα, οὔτε ἡσύχασα, οὔτε ἀνεπαυσάμην, ἦλθε δέ μοι ὀργή·

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 3:25 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily XXXIII)

    And this he declared, when he said, "For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me; and that which I was afraid of is come unto me."
