LXX Brenton's Greek Septuagint
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Οὐ μὴν δὲ ἀλλὰ ἄκουσου Ἰὼβ τὰ ῥήματά μου, καὶ λαλιὰν ἐνωτίζου μου.
1 “However, Job, please hear my speech, and listen to all my words.
2 γὰρ ἤνοιξα τὸ στόμα μου, καὶ ἐλάλησεν ἡ γλῶσσά μου.
2 See now, I have opened my mouth. My tongue has spoken in my mouth.
3 Καθαρά μου ἡ καρδία ῥήμασι, σύνεσις δὲ χειλέων μου καθαρὰ νοήσει.
3 My words will utter the uprightness of my heart. That which my lips know they will speak sincerely.
4 Πνεῦμα θεῖον τὸ ποιῆσάν με, πνοὴ δὲ παντοκράτορος ἡ διδάσκουσά με.
4 The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.
5 Ἐὰν δύνῃ, δός μοι ἀπόκρισιν, πρὸς ταῦτα ὑπόμεινον, στῆθι κατʼ ἐμὲ, καὶ ἐγὼ κατὰ σέ.
5 If you can, answer me. Set your words in order before me, and stand up.
6 Ἐκ πηλοῦ διήρτισαι σὺ ὡς καὶ ἐγὼ, ἐκ τοῦ αὐτοῦ διηρτίσμεθα.
6 Behold, I am toward God even as you are. I am also formed out of the clay.
7 Οὐχ ὁ φόβος μου σὲ στροβήσει, οὐδὲ ἡ χείρ μου βαρεῖα ἔσται ἐπὶ σοί.
7 Behold, my terror will not make you afraid, neither will my pressure be heavy on you.
8 Πλὴν εἶπας ἐν ὠσί μου· φωνὴν ῥημάτων σου ἀκήκοα·
8 “Surely you have spoken in my hearing, I have heard the voice of your words, saying,
9 διότι λέγεις, καθαρός εἰμι οὐχ ἁμαρτών, ἄμεμπτός εἰμι, οὐ γὰρ ἠνόμησα·
9 ‘I am clean, without disobedience. I am innocent, neither is there iniquity in me.
10 Μέμψιν δὲ κατʼ ἐμοῦ εὗρεν· ἥγηται δέ με ὥσπερ ὑπεναντίον.
10 Behold, he finds occasions against me. He counts me for his enemy.
11 Ἔθετο δὲ ἐν ξύλῳ τὸν πόδα μου, ἐφύλαξε δέ μου πάσας τὰς ὁδούς.
11 He puts my feet in the stocks. He marks all my paths.’
12 Πῶς γὰρ λέγεις, δίκαιός εἰμι, καὶ οὐκ ἐπακήκοέ μου; αἰώνιος γάρ ἐστιν ὁ ἐπάνω βροτῶν.
12 “Behold, I will answer you. In this you are not just, for God is greater than man.
13 Λέγεις δέ, διατί τῆς δίκης μου οὐκ ἐπακήκοέ μου πᾶν ῥῆμα;
13 Why do you strive against him, because he doesn’t give account of any of his matters?
14 Ἐν γὰρ τῷ ἅπαξ λαλήσαι ὁ Κύριος, ἐν δὲ τῷ δευτέρῳ.
14 For God speaks once, yes twice, though man pays no attention.
15 ἐνύπνιον ἢ ἐν μελέτῃ νυκτερινῇ, ὡς ὅταν ἐπιπίπτῃ δεινὸς φόβος ἐπʼ ἀνθρώπους, ἐπὶ νυσταγμάτων ἐπὶ κοίτης·
15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on men, in slumbering on the bed,
16 Τότε ἀνακαλύπτει νοῦν ἀνθρώπων, ἐν εἴδεσι φόβου τοιούτοις αὐτοὺς ἐξεφόβησεν.
16 then he opens the ears of men, and seals their instruction,
17 Ἀποστρέψαι ἄνθρωπον ἀπὸ ἀδικίας, τὸ δὲ σῶμα αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ πτώματος ἐῤῥύσατο.
17 that he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.
18 Ἐφείσατο δὲ τῆς ψυχῆς αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ θανάτου, καὶ μὴ πεσεῖν αὐτὸν ἐν πολέμῳ.
18 He keeps back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.
19 Πάλιν δὲ ἤλεγξεν αὐτὸν ἐπὶ μαλακίᾳ ἐπὶ κοίτης, καὶ πλῆθος ὀστῶν αὐτοῦ ἐνάρκησε.
19 “He is chastened also with pain on his bed, with continual strife in his bones,
20 Πᾶν δὲ βρωτὸν σίτου οὐ μὴ δύνηται προσδέξασθαι, καὶ ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ βρῶσιν ἐπιθυμήσει·
20 so that his life abhors bread, and his soul dainty food.
21 ἕως ἂν σαπῶσιν αὐτοῦ αἱ σάρκες, καὶ ἀποδείξῃ τὰ ὀστᾶ αὐτοῦ κένα.
21 His flesh is so consumed away that it can’t be seen. His bones that were not seen stick out.
22 Ἤγγισε δὲ εἰς θάνατον ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ, ἡ δὲ ζωὴ αὐτοῦ ἐν ᾅδῃ·
22 Yes, his soul draws near to the pit, and his life to the destroyers.
23 Ἐὰν ὦσι χιλιοι αγγελοι θανατηφόροι, εἷς αὐτῶν οὐ μὴ τρώσῃ αὐτόν· ἐὰν νοήσῃ τῇ καρδίᾳ ἐπιστραφῆναι πρὸς Κύριον, ἀναγγείλῃ δὲ ἀνθρώπῳ τὴν ἑαυτοῦ μέμψιν, τὴν δὲ ἄνοιαν αὐτοῦ δείξῃ,
23 “If there is beside him an angel, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to show to man what is right for him,
24 ἀνθέξεται τοῦ μὴ πεσεῖν εἰς θάνατον· ἀνανεώσει δὲ αὐτοῦ τὸ σῶμα ὥσπερ ἀλοιφὴν ἐπὶ τοίχου, τὰ δὲ ὀστᾶ αὐτοῦ ἐμπλήσει μυελοῦ·
24 then God is gracious to him, and says, ‘Deliver him from going down to the pit, I have found a ransom.’
25 Ἁπαλυνεῖ δὲ αὐτοῦ τὰς σάρκας ὥσπερ νηπίου, ἀποκαταστήσει δὲ αὐτὸν ἀνδρωθέντα ἐν ἀνθρώποις.
25 His flesh will be fresher than a child’s. He returns to the days of his youth.
26 Εὐξάμενος δὲ πρὸς Κύριον καὶ δεκτὰ αὐτῷ ἔσται, εἰσελεύσεται προσώπῳ ἱλαρῷ σὺν ἐξηγορίᾳ· ἀποδώσει δὲ ἀνθρώποις δικαιοσύνην.
26 He prays to God, and he is favorable to him, so that he sees his face with joy. He restores to man his righteousness.
27 Εἶτα τότε ἀπομέμψεται ἄνθρωπος αὐτὸς ἑαυτῷ, λέγων, οἷα συνετέλουν; καὶ οὐκ ἄξια ἤτασέ με ὧν ἥμαρτον.
27 He sings before men, and says, ‘I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it didn’t profit me.
28 Σῶσον ψυχήν μου τοῦ μὴ ἐλθεῖν εἰς διαφθορὰν, καὶ ἡ ζωή μου φῶς ὄψεται.
28 He has redeemed my soul from going into the pit. My life will see the light.’
29 Ἰδοὺ ταῦτα πάντα ἐργᾶται ὁ ἰσχυρὸς ὁδοὺς τρεῖς μετὰ ἀνδρός.
29 “Behold, God does all these things, twice, yes three times, with a man,
30 Καὶ ἐῤῥύσατο τὴν ψυχήν μου ἐκ θανάτου, ἵνα ἡ ζωή μου ἐν φωτὶ αἰνῇ αὐτόν.
30 to bring back his soul from the pit, that he may be enlightened with the light of the living.
31 Ἐνωτίζου Ἰὼβ καὶ ἄκουέ μου· κώφευσον, καὶ ἐγώ εἰμι λαλήσω.
31 Mark well, Job, and listen to me. Hold your peace, and I will speak.
32 Εἰ εἰσί σοι λόγοι, ἀποκρίθητί μοι· λάλησον, θέλω γὰρ δικαιωθῆναί σε.
32 If you have anything to say, answer me. Speak, for I desire to justify you.
33 Εἰ μὴ, σὺ ἄκουσόν μου, κώφευσον καὶ διδάξω σε.
33 If not, listen to me. Hold your peace, and I will teach you wisdom.”

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).

    Job, too, says, The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.
