1 A Jov odgovori i reče: 2 Još je tužnjava moja odmet? A nevolja je moja teža od uzdaha mojih. 3 O, kad bih znao kako bih našao Boga! Da otidem do prestola Njegovog, 4 Da razložim pred Njim parbu svoju, i usta svoja napunim razloga, 5 Da znam šta bi mi odgovorio, i razumem šta bi mi rekao. 6 Bi li se prema velikoj svojoj sili preo sa mnom? Ne; nego bi mi pomogao. 7 Onde bi se pravedan čovek mogao pravdati s Njim, i oslobodio bih se za svagda od svog sudije. 8 Gle, ako pođem napred, nema Ga; ako li natrag, ne nahodim Ga; 9 Ako na levo radi, ne vidim Ga; ako na desno, zaklonio se, ne mogu Ga videti. 10 Ali On zna put moj; kad me okuša, izaći ću kao zlato. 11 Po stopama je Njegovim stupala noga moja; puta Njegova držao sam se, i ne zađoh. 12 Od zapovesti usta Njegovih nisam odstupao; čuvao sam reči usta Njegovih više nego svoj užitak. 13 Ali kad On šta naumi, ko će Ga odvratiti? Šta duša Njegova zaželi, ono čini. 14 I izvršiće šta je naumio za me; i toga ima u Njega mnogo. 15 Zato sam se uplašio od Njega; i kad to mislim, strah me je od Njega. 16 Bog je rastopio srce moje, Svemogući me je uplašio. 17 Što ne pogiboh pre mraka? I što ne sakri mrak ispred mene?

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).
Place there is none; we go both "backward" and "forward," and there is no place.
