Job 2
1 And it came to pass on a certain day, that the angels of God came to stand before the Lord, and the devil came among them to stand before the Lord.
factum est autem cum quadam die venissent filii Dei et starent coram Domino venisset quoque Satan inter eos et staret in conspectu eius
2 And the Lord, said to the devil, Whence comest thou? Then the devil said before the Lord, I am come from going through the world, and walking about the whole earth.
ut diceret Dominus ad Satan unde venis qui respondens ait circuivi terram et perambulavi eam
3 And the Lord said to the devil, Hast thou then observed my servant Job, that there is none of [men] upon the earth like him, a harmless, true, blameless, godly man, abstaining from all evil? and he yet cleaves to innocence, whereas thou has told [me] to destroy his substance without cause?
et dixit Dominus ad Satan numquid considerasti servum meum Iob quod non sit ei similis in terra vir simplex et rectus timens Deum ac recedens a malo et adhuc retinens innocentiam tu autem commovisti me adversus eum ut adfligerem illum frustra
4 And the devil answered and said to the Lord, Skin for skin, all that a man has will he give as a ransom for his life.
cui respondens Satan ait pellem pro pelle et cuncta quae habet homo dabit pro anima sua
5 Nay, but put forth thine hand, and touch his bones and his flesh: verily he will bless thee to [thy] face.
alioquin mitte manum tuam et tange os eius et carnem et tunc videbis quod in facie benedicat tibi
6 And the Lord said to the devil, Behold, I deliver him up to thee; only save his life.
dixit ergo Dominus ad Satan ecce in manu tua est verumtamen animam illius serva
7 So the devil went out from the Lord, and smote Job with sore boils from [his] feet to [his] head.
egressus igitur Satan a facie Domini percussit Iob ulcere pessimo a planta pedis usque ad verticem eius
8 And he took a potsherd to scrape away the discharge, and sat upon a dung-heap outside the city.
qui testa saniem deradebat sedens in sterquilinio
9 Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die.
dixit autem illi uxor sua adhuc tu permanes in simplicitate tua benedic Deo et morere
10 But he looked on her, and said to her, Thou hast spoken like one of the foolish women. If we have received good things of the hand of the Lord, shall we not endure evil things? In all these things that happened to him, Job sinned not at all with his lips before God.
qui ait ad illam quasi una de stultis locuta es si bona suscepimus de manu Domini quare mala non suscipiamus in omnibus his non peccavit Iob labiis suis
11 Now his three friends having heard of all the evil that was come upon him, came to him each from his own country: Eliphaz the king of the Thaemans, Baldad sovereign of the Saucheans, Sophar king of he Minaeans: and they came to him with one accord, to comfort and to visit him.
igitur audientes tres amici Iob omne malum quod accidisset ei venerunt singuli de loco suo Eliphaz Themanites et Baldad Suites et Sophar Naamathites condixerant enim ut pariter venientes visitarent eum et consolarentur
12 And when they saw him from a distance they did not know him; and they cried with a loud voice, and wept, and rent every one his garment, and sprinkled dust upon [their heads],
cumque levassent procul oculos suos non cognoverunt eum et exclamantes ploraverunt scissisque vestibus sparserunt pulverem super caput suum in caelum
13 and they sat down beside him seven days and seven nights, and no one of them spoke; for they saw that his affliction was dreadful and very great.
et sederunt cum eo in terram septem diebus et septem noctibus et nemo loquebatur ei verbum videbant enim dolorem esse vehementem
