Job 23

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 respondens autem Iob dixit

2 nunc quoque in amaritudine est sermo meus et manus plagae meae adgravata est super gemitum meum

3 quis mihi tribuat ut cognoscam et inveniam illum et veniam usque ad solium eius

4 ponam coram eo iudicium et os meum replebo increpationibu

5 ut sciam verba quae mihi respondeat et intellegam quid loquatur mihi

6 nolo multa fortitudine contendat mecum nec magnitudinis suae mole me premat

7 proponat aequitatem contra me et perveniat ad victoriam iudicium meum

8 si ad orientem iero non apparet si ad occidentem non intellegam eum

9 si ad sinistram quid agat non adprehendam eum si me vertam ad dextram non videbo illum

10 ipse vero scit viam meam et probavit me quasi aurum quod per ignem transit

11 vestigia eius secutus est pes meus viam eius custodivi et non declinavi ex ea

12 a mandatis labiorum eius non recessi et in sinu meo abscondi verba oris eius

13 ipse enim solus est et nemo avertere potest cogitationem eius et anima eius quodcumque voluerit hoc facit

14 cum expleverit in me voluntatem suam et alia multa similia praesto sunt e

15 et idcirco a facie eius turbatus sum et considerans eum timore sollicitor

16 Deus mollivit cor meum et Omnipotens conturbavit me

17 non enim perii propter inminentes tenebras nec faciem meam operuit caligo

New International Version NIV

1 Then Job replied:

2 “Even today my complaint is bitter; his hand is heavy in spite of my groaning.

3 If only I knew where to find him; if only I could go to his dwelling!

4 I would state my case before him and fill my mouth with arguments.

5 I would find out what he would answer me, and consider what he would say to me.

6 Would he vigorously oppose me? No, he would not press charges against me.

7 There the upright can establish their innocence before him, and there I would be delivered forever from my judge.

8 “But if I go to the east, he is not there; if I go to the west, I do not find him.

9 When he is at work in the north, I do not see him; when he turns to the south, I catch no glimpse of him.

10 But he knows the way that I take; when he has tested me, I will come forth as gold.

11 My feet have closely followed his steps; I have kept to his way without turning aside.

12 I have not departed from the commands of his lips; I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my daily bread.

13 “But he stands alone, and who can oppose him? He does whatever he pleases.

14 He carries out his decree against me, and many such plans he still has in store.

15 That is why I am terrified before him; when I think of all this, I fear him.

16 God has made my heart faint; the Almighty has terrified me.

17 Yet I am not silenced by the darkness, by the thick darkness that covers my face.
