Job 19

Septuagint Bible w/ Apocrypha LXX

1 Then Job answered and said,

2 How long will ye vex my soul, and destroy me with words? only know that the Lord has dealt with me thus.

3 Ye speak against me; ye do not feel for me, but bear hard upon me.

4 Yea verily, I have erred in truth, (but the error abides with myself) in having spoken words which it was not right ; and my words err, and are unreasonable.

5 But alas! for ye magnify yourselves against me, and insult me with reproach.

6 Know then that it is the Lord that has troubled , and has raised his bulwark against me.

7 Behold, I laugh at reproach; I will not speak: I will cry out, but nowhere judgment.

8 I am fenced round about, and can by no means escape: he has set darkness before my face.

9 And he has stripped me of my glory, and has taken the crown from my head.

10 He has torn me around about, and I am gone: and he has cut off my hope like a tree.

11 And he has dreadfully handled me in anger, and has counted me for an enemy.

12 His troops also came upon me with one accord, liars in wait compassed my ways.

13 My brethren have stood aloof from me; they have recognized strangers than me: and my friends have become pitiless.

14 My nearest of kin have not acknowledged me, and they that knew my name, have forgotten me.

15 my household, and my maid-servants, I was a stranger before them.

16 I called my servant, and he hearkened not; and my mouth intreated .

17 And I besought my wife, and earnestly intreated the sons of my concubines.

18 But they rejected me for ever; whenever I rise up, they speak against me.

19 They that saw me abhorred me: the very persons whom I had loved, rose up against me.

20 My flesh is corrupt under my skin, and my bones are held in teeth.

21 Pity me, pity me, O friends; for it is the hand of the Lord that has touched me.

22 Wherefore do ye persecute me as also the Lord , and are not satisfied with my flesh?

23 For oh that my words were written, and that they were recorded in a book forever,

24 with an iron pen and lead, or graven in the rocks!

25 For I know that he is eternal who is about to deliver me,

26 to raise up upon the earth my skin that endures these : for these things have been accomplished to me of the Lord;

27 which I am conscious of in myself, which mine eye has seen, and not another, but all have been fulfilled to me in bosom.

28 But if ye shall also say, What shall we say before him, and find the root of the matter in him?

29 Do ye also beware of deceit: for wrath will come upon transgressors; and then shall they know where their substance is.

New International Version NIV

1 Then Job replied:

2 “How long will you torment me and crush me with words?

3 Ten times now you have reproached me; shamelessly you attack me.

4 If it is true that I have gone astray, my error remains my concern alone.

5 If indeed you would exalt yourselves above me and use my humiliation against me,

6 then know that God has wronged me and drawn his net around me.

7 “Though I cry, ‘Violence!’ I get no response; though I call for help, there is no justice.

8 He has blocked my way so I cannot pass; he has shrouded my paths in darkness.

9 He has stripped me of my honor and removed the crown from my head.

10 He tears me down on every side till I am gone; he uproots my hope like a tree.

11 His anger burns against me; he counts me among his enemies.

12 His troops advance in force; they build a siege ramp against me and encamp around my tent.

13 “He has alienated my family from me; my acquaintances are completely estranged from me.

14 My relatives have gone away; my closest friends have forgotten me.

15 My guests and my female servants count me a foreigner; they look on me as on a stranger.

16 I summon my servant, but he does not answer, though I beg him with my own mouth.

17 My breath is offensive to my wife; I am loathsome to my own family.

18 Even the little boys scorn me; when I appear, they ridicule me.

19 All my intimate friends detest me; those I love have turned against me.

20 I am nothing but skin and bones; I have escaped only by the skin of my teeth.

21 “Have pity on me, my friends, have pity, for the hand of God has struck me.

22 Why do you pursue me as God does? Will you never get enough of my flesh?

23 “Oh, that my words were recorded, that they were written on a scroll,

24 that they were inscribed with an iron tool on lead, or engraved in rock forever!

25 I know that my redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand on the earth.

26 And after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see God;

27 I myself will see him with my own eyes—I, and not another. How my heart yearns within me!

28 “If you say, ‘How we will hound him, since the root of the trouble lies in him, ’

29 you should fear the sword yourselves; for wrath will bring punishment by the sword, and then you will know that there is judgment. ”
