1 Et respondens Job, ait: 2 [Vere scio quod ita sit, et quod non justificetur homo compositus Deo. 3 Si voluerit contendere cum eo, non poterit ei respondere unum pro mille. 4 Sapiens corde est, et fortis robore: quis restitit ei, et pacem habuit? 5 Qui transtulit montes, et nescierunt hi quos subvertit in furore suo. 6 Qui commovet terram de loco suo, et columnæ ejus concutiuntur. 7 Qui præcipit soli, et non oritur, et stellas claudit quasi sub signaculo. 8 Qui extendit cælos solus, et graditur super fluctus maris. 9 Qui facit Arcturum et Oriona, et Hyadas et interiora austri. 10 Qui facit magna, et incomprehensibilia, et mirabilia, quorum non est numerus. 11 Si venerit ad me, non videbo eum; si abierit, non intelligam. 12 Si repente interroget, quis respondebit ei? vel quis dicere potest: Cur ita facis? 13 Deus, cujus iræ nemo resistere potest, et sub quo curvantur qui portant orbem. 14 Quantus ergo sum ego, ut respondeam ei, et loquar verbis meis cum eo? 15 qui etiam si habuero quippiam justum, non respondebo: sed meum judicem deprecabor. 16 Et cum invocantem exaudierit me, non credo quod audierit vocem meam. 17 In turbine enim conteret me, et multiplicabit vulnera mea, etiam sine causa. 18 Non concedit requiescere spiritum meum, et implet me amaritudinibus. 19 Si fortitudo quæritur, robustissimus est; si æquitas judicii, nemo audet pro me testimonium dicere. 20 Si justificare me voluero, os meum condemnabit me; si innocentem ostendero, pravum me comprobabit. 21 Etiam si simplex fuero, hoc ipsum ignorabit anima mea, et tædebit me vitæ meæ. 22 Unum est quod locutus sum: et innocentem et impium ipse consumit. 23 Si flagellat, occidat semel, et non de pœnis innocentum rideat. 24 Terra data est in manus impii; vultum judicum ejus operit. Quod si non ille est, quis ergo est? 25 Dies mei velociores fuerunt cursore; fugerunt, et non viderunt bonum. 26 Pertransierunt quasi naves poma portantes; sicut aquila volans ad escam. 27 Cum dixero: Nequaquam ita loquar: commuto faciem meam, et dolore torqueor. 28 Verebar omnia opera mea, sciens quod non parceres delinquenti. 29 Si autem et sic impius sum, quare frustra laboravi? 30 Si lotus fuero quasi aquis nivis, et fulserint velut mundissimæ manus meæ, 31 tamen sordibus intinges me, et abominabuntur me vestimenta mea. 32 Neque enim viro qui similis mei est, respondebo; nec qui mecum in judicio ex æquo possit audiri. 33 Non est qui utrumque valeat arguere, et ponere manum suam in ambobus. 34 Auferat a me virgam suam, et pavor ejus non me terreat. 35 Loquar, et non timebo eum; neque enim possum metuens respondere.]

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 …
