| 1 | Moreover Eliu spoke these words: | Igitur Eliu haec rursum locutus est: | Ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Ἐλιοὺς, λέγει, |
| 2 | Doth thy thought seem right to thee, that thou shouldst say: I am more just than God? | Numquid aequa tibi videtur tua cogitatio, ut diceres: Iustior sum Deo? | Τί τοῦτο ἡγήσω ἐν κρίσει; σὺ τίς εἶ, ὅτι εἶπας, δίκαιός εἰμι ἔναντι Κυρίου; |
| 3 | For thou saidst: That which is right doth not please thee: or what will it profit thee if I sin? | Dixisti enim: Non tibi placet quod rectum est: vel quid tibi proderit, si ego peccavero? | — |
| 4 | Therefore I will answer thy words, and thy friends with thee. | Itaque ego respondebo sermonibus tuis, et amicis tuis tecum. | Ἐγώ σοι δώσω ἀπόκρισιν, καὶ τοῖς τρισὶ φίλοις σου. |
| 5 | Look up to heaven and see, and behold the sky, that it is higher than thee. | Suspice caelum, et intuere: et contemplare aethera quod altior te sit. | Ἀνάβλεψον εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν, καὶ ἴδε· κατάμαθε δὲ νέφη, ὡς ὑψηλὰ ἀπὸ σοῦ. |
| 6 | If thou sin, what shalt thou hurt him? and if thy iniquities be multiplied, what shalt thou do against him? | Si peccaveris, quid ei nocebis? et si multiplicatae fuerint iniquitates tuae, quid facies contra eum? | Εἰ ἥμαρτες, τί πράξεις; εἰ δὲ καὶ πολλὰ ἠνόμησας, τί δύνασαι ποιῆσαι; |
| 7 | And if thou do justly, what shalt thou give him, or what shall he receive of thy hand? | Porro si iuste egeris, quid donabis ei? aut quid de manu tua accipiet? | Ἐπεὶ δὲ οὖν δίκαιος εἶ, τί δώσεις αὐτῷ; ἢ τί ἐκ χειρός σου λήψεται; |
| 8 | Thy wickedness may hurt a man that is like thee: and thy justice may help the son of man. | Homini qui similis tui est, nocebit impietas tua: et filium hominis adiuvabit iustitia tua. | Ἀνδρὶ τῷ ὁμοίῳ σου ἡ ἀσέβειά σου, καὶ υἱῷ ἀνθρώπου ἡ δικαιοσύνη σου. |
| 9 | By reason of the multitude of oppressions they shall cry out: and shall wail for the violence of the arm of tyrants. | Propter multitudinem calumniatorum clamabunt, et eiulabunt propter vim brachii tyrannorum. | Ἀπὸ πλήθους συκοφαντούμενοι κεκράξονται, βοήσονται ἀπὸ βραχίονος πολλῶν. |
| 10 | And he hath not said: Where is God, who made me, who hath given songs in the night? | Et non dixit: Ubi est Deus qui fecit me, qui dedit carmina in nocte; | Καὶ οὐκ εἶπε, ποῦ ἐστιν ὁ Θεὸς ὁ ποιήσας με, ὁ κατατάσσων φυλακὰς νυκτερινὰς, |
| 11 | Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and instructeth us more than the fowls of the air. | qui docet nos super iumenta terrae, et super volucres caeli erudit nos? | ὁ διορίζων με ἀπὸ τετραπόδων γῆς, ἀπὸ δὲ πετεινῶν οὐρανοῦ; |
| 12 | There shall they cry, and he will not hear, because of the pride of evil men. | Ibi clamabunt, et non exaudiet, propter superbiam malorum. | Ἐκεῖ κεκράξονται, καὶ οὐ μὴ εἰσακούσῃ, καὶ ἀπὸ ὕβρεως πονηρῶν. |
| 13 | God therefore will not hear in vain, and the Almighty will look into the causes of every one. | Non ergo frustra audiet Deus, et Omnipotens causas singulorum intuebitur. | Ἄτοπα γὰρ οὐ βούλεται ἰδεῖν ὁ Κύριος, αὐτὸς γὰρ ὁ παντοκράτωρ. |
| 14 | Yea when thou shalt say: He considereth not: be judged before him, and expect him. | Etiam cum dixeris: Non considerat: iudicare coram illo, et expecta eum. | Ὁρατής ἐστι τῶν συντελούντων τὰ ἄνομα, καὶ σώσει με· κρίθητι δὲ ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ, εἰ δύνασαι αὐτὸν αἰνέσαι, ὡς ἔστι καὶ νῦν. |
| 15 | For he doth not now bring on his fury, neither doth he revenge wickedness exceedingly. | Nunc enim non infert furorem suum, nec ulciscitur scelus valde. | “Ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἐπισκεπτόμενος ὀργὴν αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἔγνω παράπτωμά τι σφόδρα· |
| 16 | Therefore Job openeth his mouth in vain, and multiplieth words without knowledge. | Ergo Iob frustra aperit os suum, et absque scientia verba multiplicat. | καὶ Ἰὼβ ματαίως ἀνοίγει τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ, ἐν ἀγνωσίᾳ ῥήματα βαρύνει. |
