Job 19

The Message Bible MSG

1 Job answered:

2 "How long are you going to keep battering away at me, pounding me with these harangues?

3 Time after time after time you jump all over me. Do you have no conscience, abusing me like this?

4 Even if I have, somehow or other, gotten off the track, what business is that of yours?

5 Why do you insist on putting me down, using my troubles as a stick to beat me?

6 Tell it to God - he's the one behind all this, he's the one who dragged me into this mess.

7 "Look at me - I shout 'Murder!' and I'm ignored; I call for help and no one bothers to stop.

8 God threw a barricade across my path - I'm stymied; he turned out all the lights - I'm stuck in the dark.

9 He destroyed my reputation, robbed me of all self-respect.

10 He tore me apart piece by piece - I'm ruined! Then he yanked out hope by the roots.

11 He's angry with me - oh, how he's angry! He treats me like his worst enemy.

12 He has launched a major campaign against me, using every weapon he can think of, coming at me from all sides at once. I Know That God Lives

13 "God alienated my family from me;

14 everyone who knows me avoids me. My relatives and friends have all left; houseguests forget I ever existed.

15 The servant girls treat me like a bum off the street, look at me like they've never seen me before.

16 I call my attendant and he ignores me, ignores me even though I plead with him.

17 My wife can't stand to be around me anymore. I'm repulsive to my family.

18 Even street urchins despise me; when I come out, they taunt and jeer.

19 Everyone I've ever been close to abhors me; my dearest loved ones reject me.

20 I'm nothing but a bag of bones; my life hangs by a thread.

21 "Oh, friends, dear friends, take pity on me. God has come down hard on me!

22 Do you have to be hard on me too? Don't you ever tire of abusing me?

23 "If only my words were written in a book -

24 better yet, chiseled in stone!

25 Still, I know that God lives - the One who gives me back my life - and eventually he'll take his stand on earth.

26 And I'll see him - even though I get skinned alive! -

27 see God myself, with my very own eyes. Oh, how I long for that day!

28 "If you're thinking, 'How can we get through to him, get him to see that his trouble is all his own fault?'

29 Forget it. Start worrying about yourselves. Worry about your own sins and God's coming judgment, for judgment is most certainly on the way."

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 respondens autem Iob dixit

2 usquequo adfligitis animam meam et adteritis me sermonibus

3 en decies confunditis me et non erubescitis opprimentes me

4 nempe et si ignoravi mecum erit ignorantia mea

5 at vos contra me erigimini et arguitis me obprobriis meis

6 saltim nunc intellegite quia Deus non aequo iudicio adflixerit me et flagellis suis me cinxerit

7 ecce clamabo vim patiens et nemo audiet vociferabor et non est qui iudicet

8 semitam meam circumsepsit et transire non possum et in calle meo tenebras posuit

9 spoliavit me gloria mea et abstulit coronam de capite meo

10 destruxit me undique et pereo et quasi evulsae arbori abstulit spem meam

11 iratus est contra me furor eius et sic me habuit quasi hostem suum

12 simul venerunt latrones eius et fecerunt sibi viam per me et obsederunt in gyro tabernaculum meum

13 fratres meos longe fecit a me et noti mei quasi alieni recesserunt a me

14 dereliquerunt me propinqui mei et qui me noverant obliti sunt mei

15 inquilini domus meae et ancillae meae sicut alienum habuerunt me et quasi peregrinus fui in oculis eorum

16 servum meum vocavi et non respondit ore proprio deprecabar illum

17 halitum meum exhorruit uxor mea et orabam filios uteri mei

18 stulti quoque despiciebant me et cum ab eis recessissem detrahebant mihi

19 abominati sunt me quondam consiliarii mei et quem maxime diligebam aversatus est me

20 pelli meae consumptis carnibus adhesit os meum et derelicta sunt tantummodo labia circa dentes meos

21 miseremini mei miseremini mei saltim vos amici mei quia manus Domini tetigit me

22 quare persequimini me sicut Deus et carnibus meis saturamini

23 quis mihi tribuat ut scribantur sermones mei quis mihi det ut exarentur in libro

24 stilo ferreo et plumbi lammina vel certe sculpantur in silice

25 scio enim quod redemptor meus vivat et in novissimo de terra surrecturus sim

26 et rursum circumdabor pelle mea et in carne mea videbo Deum

27 quem visurus sum ego ipse et oculi mei conspecturi sunt et non alius reposita est haec spes mea in sinu meo

28 quare ergo nunc dicitis persequamur eum et radicem verbi inveniamus contra eum

29 fugite ergo a facie gladii quoniam ultor iniquitatum gladius est et scitote esse iudicium
