The Latin Vulgate VUL
King James Version w/ Apocrypha KJVA
1 respondens autem Iob dixit
1
Then Job answered and said ,
2 usquequo adfligitis animam meam et adteritis me sermonibus
2
How long will ye vex my soul, and break me in pieces with words?
3 en decies confunditis me et non erubescitis opprimentes me
3
These ten times have ye reproached me: ye are not ashamed that ye make yourselves strange to me.
4 nempe et si ignoravi mecum erit ignorantia mea
4
And be it indeed that I have erred , mine error remaineth with myself.
5 at vos contra me erigimini et arguitis me obprobriis meis
5
If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, and plead against me my reproach:
6 saltim nunc intellegite quia Deus non aequo iudicio adflixerit me et flagellis suis me cinxerit
6
Know now that God hath overthrown me, and hath compassed me with his net.
7 ecce clamabo vim patiens et nemo audiet vociferabor et non est qui iudicet
7
Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard : I cry aloud , but there is no judgment.
8 semitam meam circumsepsit et transire non possum et in calle meo tenebras posuit
8
He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass , and he hath set darkness in my paths.
9 spoliavit me gloria mea et abstulit coronam de capite meo
9
He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head.
10 destruxit me undique et pereo et quasi evulsae arbori abstulit spem meam
10
He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am gone : and mine hope hath he removed like a tree.
11 iratus est contra me furor eius et sic me habuit quasi hostem suum
11
He hath also kindled his wrath against me, and he counteth me unto him as one of his enemies.
12 simul venerunt latrones eius et fecerunt sibi viam per me et obsederunt in gyro tabernaculum meum
12
His troops come together, and raise up their way against me, and encamp round about my tabernacle.
13 fratres meos longe fecit a me et noti mei quasi alieni recesserunt a me
13
He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are verily estranged from me.
14 dereliquerunt me propinqui mei et qui me noverant obliti sunt mei
14
My kinsfolk have failed , and my familiar friends have forgotten me.
15 inquilini domus meae et ancillae meae sicut alienum habuerunt me et quasi peregrinus fui in oculis eorum
15
They that dwell in mine house, and my maids, count me for a stranger : I am an alien in their sight.
16 servum meum vocavi et non respondit ore proprio deprecabar illum
16
I called my servant, and he gave me no answer ; I intreated him with my mouth.
17 halitum meum exhorruit uxor mea et orabam filios uteri mei
17
My breath is strange to my wife, though I intreated for the children's sake of mine own body.
18 stulti quoque despiciebant me et cum ab eis recessissem detrahebant mihi
18
Yea, young children despised me; I arose , and they spake against me.
19 abominati sunt me quondam consiliarii mei et quem maxime diligebam aversatus est me
19
All my inward friends abhorred me: and they whom I loved are turned against me.
20 pelli meae consumptis carnibus adhesit os meum et derelicta sunt tantummodo labia circa dentes meos
20
My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth.
21 miseremini mei miseremini mei saltim vos amici mei quia manus Domini tetigit me
21
Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me.
22 quare persequimini me sicut Deus et carnibus meis saturamini
22
Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?
23 quis mihi tribuat ut scribantur sermones mei quis mihi det ut exarentur in libro
23
Oh that my words were now written ! oh that they were printed in a book!
24 stilo ferreo et plumbi lammina vel certe sculpantur in silice
24
That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock for ever!
25 scio enim quod redemptor meus vivat et in novissimo de terra surrecturus sim
25
For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:
26 et rursum circumdabor pelle mea et in carne mea videbo Deum
26
And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:
27 quem visurus sum ego ipse et oculi mei conspecturi sunt et non alius reposita est haec spes mea in sinu meo
27
Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold , and not another ; though my reins be consumed within me.
28 quare ergo nunc dicitis persequamur eum et radicem verbi inveniamus contra eum
28
But ye should say , Why persecute we him, seeing the root of the matter is found in me?
29 fugite ergo a facie gladii quoniam ultor iniquitatum gladius est et scitote esse iudicium
29
Be ye afraid of the sword: for wrath bringeth the punishments of the sword, that ye may know there is a judgment .
