Job 35

1 Elihu spake moreouer, and said,

ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Ελιους λέγει

2 Thinkest thou this right, that thou hast said, I am more righteous then God?

τί τοῦτο ἡγήσω ἐν κρίσει σὺ τίς εἶ ὅτι εἶπας δίκαιός εἰμι ἔναντι κυρίου

3 For thou hast said, What profiteth it thee and what auaileth it me, to purge me from my sinne?

ἢ ἐρεῖς τί ποιήσω ἁμαρτών

4 Therefore will I answere thee, and thy companions with thee.

ἐγὼ σοὶ δώσω ἀπόκρισιν καὶ τοῖς τρισὶν φίλοις σου

5 Looke vnto the heauen, and see and behold the cloudes which are hyer then thou.

ἀνάβλεψον εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ ἰδέ κατάμαθε δὲ νέφη ὡς ὑψηλὰ ἀπὸ σοῦ

6 If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him, yea, when thy sinnes be many, what doest thou vnto him?

εἰ ἥμαρτες τί πράξεις εἰ δὲ καὶ πολλὰ ἠνόμησας τί δύνασαι ποιῆσαι

7 If thou be righteous, what giuest thou vnto him? or what receiueth he at thine hand?

ἐπεὶ δὲ οὖν δίκαιος εἶ τί δώσεις αὐτῷ ἢ τί ἐκ χειρός σου λήμψεται

8 Thy wickednesse may hurt a man as thou art: and thy righteousnes may profite ye sonne of man.

ἀνδρὶ τῷ ὁμοίῳ σου ἡ ἀσέβειά σου καὶ υἱῷ ἀνθρώπου ἡ δικαιοσύνη σου

9 They cause many that are oppressed, to crye, which crye out for ye violence of the mightie.

ἀπὸ πλήθους συκοφαντούμενοι κεκράξονται βοήσονται ἀπὸ βραχίονος πολλῶν

10 But none saieth, Where is God that made me, which giueth songs in the nyght?

καὶ οὐκ εἶπεν ποῦ ἐστιν ὁ θεὸς ὁ ποιήσας με ὁ κατατάσσων φυλακὰς νυκτερινάς

11 Which teacheth vs more then the beastes of the earth, and giueth vs more wisdome then the foules of the heauen.

ὁ διορίζων με ἀπὸ τετραπόδων γῆς ἀπὸ δὲ πετεινῶν οὐρανοῦ

12 Then they crye because of the violence of the wicked, but he answereth not.

ἐκεῖ κεκράξονται καὶ οὐ μὴ εἰσακούσῃ καὶ ἀπὸ ὕβρεως πονηρῶν

13 Surely God will not heare vanitie, neyther will the Almightie regard it.

ἄτοπα γὰρ οὐ βούλεται ὁ κύριος ἰδεῖν αὐτὸς γὰρ ὁ παντοκράτωρ ὁρατής ἐστιν

14 Although thou sayest to God, Thou wilt not regard it, yet iudgement is before him: trust thou in him.

τῶν συντελούντων τὰ ἄνομα καὶ σώσει με κρίθητι δὲ ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ εἰ δύνασαι αἰνέσαι αὐτόν ὡς ἔστιν

15 But nowe because his anger hath not visited, nor called to count the euill with great extremitie,

καὶ νῦν ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἐπισκεπτόμενος ὀργὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἔγνω παραπτώματι σφόδρα

16 Therfore Iob openeth his mouth in vaine, and multiplieth wordes without knowledge.

καὶ Ιωβ ματαίως ἀνοίγει τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ ἐν ἀγνωσίᾳ ῥήματα βαρύνει
