| 1 | And the Lord answering Job out of the whirlwind, said: | Καὶ ἀπεκρίθη Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς τῷ Ἰὼβ, καὶ εἶπε, |
| 2 | Gird up thy loins like a man: I will ask thee, and do thou tell me. | μὴ κρίσιν μετὰ ἱκανοῦ ἐκκλίνει; ἐλέγχων δὲ Θεὸν, ἀποκριθήσεται αὐτήν. |
| 3 | Wilt thou make void my judgment: and condemn me, that thou mayst be justified? | Ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Ἰὼβ λέγει τῷ Κυρίῳ, |
| 4 | And hast thou an arm like God, and canst thou thunder with a voice like him? | τί ἔτι ἐγὼ κρίνομαι, νουθετούμενος καὶ ἐλέγχων Κύριον, ἀκούων τοιαῦτα οὐθὲν ὤν; ἐγὼ δὲ τίνα ἀπόκρισιν δῶ πρὸς ταῦτα; χεῖρα θήσω ἐπὶ στόματί μου. |
| 5 | Clothe thyself with beauty, and set thyself up on high and be glorious, and put on goodly garments. | Ἅπαξ λελάληκα, ἐπὶ δὲ τῷ δευτέρῳ οὐ προσθήσω. |
| 6 | Scatter the proud in thy indignation, and behold every arrogant man, and humble him. | Ἔτι δὲ ὑπολαβὼν ὁ Κύριος, εἶπε τῷ Ἰὼβ ἐκ τοῦ νέφους, |
| 7 | Look on all that are proud, and confound them, and crush the wicked in their place. | Μὴ, ἀλλὰ ζῶσαι ὥσπερ ἀνὴρ τὴν ὀσφύν σου, ἐρωτήσω δέ σε, σὺ δέ μοι ἀπόκριναι. |
| 8 | Hide them in the dust together, and plunge their faces into the pit. | Μὴ ἀποποιοῦ μου τὸ κρίμα· οἴει δέ με ἄλλως σοι κεχρηματικέναι, ἢ ἳνα ἀναφανῇς δίκαιος; |
| 9 | Then I will confess that thy right hand is able to save thee. | Ἢ βραχίων σοί ἐστι κατὰ τοῦ Κυρίου, ἢ φωνῇ κατʼ αὐτοῦ βροντᾷς; |
| 10 | Behold behemoth whom I made with thee, he eateth grass like an ox. | Ἀνάλαβε δὴ ὕψος καὶ δύναμιν, δόξαν δὲ καὶ τιμὴν ἀμφίασαι. |
| 11 | His strength is in his loins, and his force in the navel of his belly. | Ἀπόστειλον δὲ ἀγγέλους ὀργῇ, πὰντα δὲ ὑβριστὴν ταπείνωσον. |
| 12 | He setteth up his tail like a cedar, the sinews of his testicles are wrapped together. | Ὑπερήφανον δὲ σβέσον, σῆψον δὲ ἀσεβεῖς παραχρῆμα. |
| 13 | His bones are like pipes of brass, his gristle like plates of iron. | Κρύψον δὲ εἰς γῆν ὁμοθυμαδόν, τὰ δὲ πρόσωπα αὐτῶν ἀτιμίας ἔμπλησον. |
| 14 | He is the beginning of the ways of God, who made him, he will apply his sword. | Ὁμολογήσω ὅτι δύναται ἡ δεξιά σου σῶσαι. |
| 15 | To him the mountains bring forth grass: there all the beasts of the field shall play. | Ἀλλὰ δὴ ἰδοὺ θηρία παρὰ σοὶ, χόρτον ἶσα βουσὶν ἐσθίουσιν. |
| 16 | He sleepeth under the shadow, in the covert of the reed, and in moist places. | Ἰδοὺ δὴ ἡ ἰσχὺς αὐτοῦ ἐπʼ ὀσφύϊ, ἡ δὲ δύναμις αὐτοῦ ἐπʼ ὀμφαλοῦ γαστρός· |
| 17 | The shades cover his shadow, the willows of the brook shall compass him about. | Ἔστησεν οὐρὰν ὡς κυπάρισσον, τὰ δὲ νεῦρα αὐτοῦ συμπέπλεκται. |
| 18 | Behold, he will drink up a river, and not wonder: and he trusteth that the Jordan may run into his mouth. | Αἱ πλευραὶ αὐτοῦ, πλευραὶ χάλκειαι, ἡ δὲ ῥάχις αὐτοῦ σίδηρος χυτός. |
| 19 | In his eyes as with a hook he shall take him, and bore through his nostrils with stakes. | Τουτέστιν ἀρχὴ πλάσματος Κυρίου· πεποιημένον ἐγκαταπαίζεσθαι ὑπὸ τῶν ἀγγέλων αὐτοῦ. |
| 20 | Canst thou draw out the leviathan with a hook, or canst thou tie his tongue with a cord? | Ἐπελθὼν δὲ ἐπʼ ὄρος ἀκρότομον, ἐποίησε χαρμονὴν τετράποσιν ἐν τῷ ταρτάρῳ. |
| 21 | Canst thou put a ring in his nose, or bore through his jaw with a buckle? | Ὑπὸ παντοδαπὰ δένδρα κοιμᾶται, παρὰ πάπυρον καὶ κάλαμον καὶ βούτομον. |
| 22 | Will he make many supplications to thee, or speak soft words to thee? | Σκιάζονται δὲ ἐν αὐτῷ δένδρα μεγάλα σὺν ῥαδάμνοις, καὶ κλῶνες ἀγροῦ. |
| 23 | Will he make a covenant with thee, and wilt thou take him to be a servant for ever? | Ἐὰν γένηται πλημμύρα, οὐ μὴ αἰσθηθῇ· πέποιθεν, ὅτι προσκρούσει ὁ Ἰορδάνης εἰς τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ. |
| 24 | Shalt thou play with him as with a bird, or tie him up for thy handmaids? | Ἐν τῷ ὀφθαλμῷ αὐτοῦ δέξεται αὐτόν, ἐνσκολιευόμενος τρήσει ῥῖνα. |
| 25 | Shall friends cut him in pieces, shall merchants divide him? | Ἄξεις δὲ δράκοντα ἐν ἀγκίστρῳ, περιθήσεις δὲ φορβαίεαν περὶ ῥῖνα αὐτοῦ; |
| 26 | Wilt thou fill nets with his skin, and the cabins of fishes with his head? | Ἤ δήσεις κρίκον ἐν τῷ μυκτῆρι αὐτοῦ, ψελλίῳ δὲ τρυπήσεις τὸ χεῖλος αὐτοῦ; |
| 27 | Lay thy hand upon him: remember the battle, and speak no more. | Λαλήσει δέ σοι δεήσει, ἱκετηρίᾳ μαλακῶς; |
| 28 | Behold his hope shall fail him, and in the sight of all he shall be cast down. | Θήσεται δὲ μετὰ σοῦ διαθήκην; λήψῃ δὲ αὐτὸν δοῦλον αἰώνιον; |
