1 И отвечал Иов и сказал:
1 Then Job answered,
2 подлинно, только вы люди, и с вами умрет мудрость!
2 “No doubt, but you are the people, and wisdom will die with you.
3 И у меня есть сердце, как у вас; не ниже я вас; и кто не знает того же?
3 But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you. Yes, who doesn’t know such things as these?
4 Посмешищем стал я для друга своего, я, который взывал к Богу, и которому Он отвечал, посмешищем — человек праведный, непорочный.
4 I am like one who is a joke to his neighbor, I, who called on God, and he answered. The just, the blameless man is a joke.
5 Так презрен по мыслям сидящего в покое факел, приготовленный для спотыкающихся ногами.
5 In the thought of him who is at ease there is contempt for misfortune. It is ready for them whose foot slips.
6 Покойны шатры у грабителей и безопасны у раздражающих Бога, которые как бы Бога носят в руках своих.
6 The tents of robbers prosper. Those who provoke God are secure, who carry their god in their hands.
7 И подлинно: спроси у скота, и научит тебя, у птицы небесной, и возвестит тебе;
7 “But ask the animals now, and they will teach you; the birds of the sky, and they will tell you.
8 или побеседуй с землею, и наставит тебя, и скажут тебе рыбы морские.
8 Or speak to the earth, and it will teach you. The fish of the sea will declare to you.
9 Кто во всем этом не узнает, что рука Господа сотворила сие?
9 Who doesn’t know that in all these, Yahweh’s hand has done this,
10 В Его руке душа всего живущего и дух всякой человеческой плоти.
10 in whose hand is the life of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind?
11 Не ухо ли разбирает слова, и не язык ли распознает вкус пищи?
11 Doesn’t the ear try words, even as the palate tastes its food?
12 В старцах — мудрость, и в долголетних — разум.
12 With aged men is wisdom, in length of days understanding.
13 У Него премудрость и сила; Его совет и разум.
13 “With God is wisdom and might. He has counsel and understanding.
14 Что Он разрушит, то не построится; кого Он заключит, тот не высвободится.
14 Behold, he breaks down, and it can’t be built again. He imprisons a man, and there can be no release.
15 Остановит воды, и все высохнет; пустит их, и превратят землю.
15 Behold, he withholds the waters, and they dry up. Again, he sends them out, and they overturn the earth.
16 У Него могущество и премудрость, пред Ним заблуждающийся и вводящий в заблуждение.
16 With him is strength and wisdom. The deceived and the deceiver are his.
17 Он приводит советников в необдуманность и судей делает глупыми.
17 He leads counselors away stripped. He makes judges fools.
18 Он лишает перевязей царей и поясом обвязывает чресла их;
18 He loosens the bond of kings. He binds their waist with a belt.
19 князей лишает достоинства и низвергает храбрых;
19 He leads priests away stripped, and overthrows the mighty.
20 отнимает язык у велеречивых и старцев лишает смысла;
20 He removes the speech of those who are trusted, and takes away the understanding of the elders.
21 покрывает стыдом знаменитых и силу могучих ослабляет;
21 He pours contempt on princes, and loosens the belt of the strong.
22 открывает глубокое из среды тьмы и выводит на свет тень смертную;
22 He uncovers deep things out of darkness, and brings out to light the shadow of death.
23 умножает народы и истребляет их; рассевает народы и собирает их;
23 He increases the nations, and he destroys them. He enlarges the nations, and he leads them captive.
24 отнимает ум у глав народа земли и оставляет их блуждать в пустыне, где нет пути:
24 He takes away understanding from the chiefs of the people of the earth, and causes them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way.
25 ощупью ходят они во тьме без света и шатаются, как пьяные.
25 They grope in the dark without light. He makes them stagger like a drunken man.

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).
Speak to the earth, if perchance it may teach thee: and though thou inquire of all things which are upon the earth, they shall not be able to tell thee.
