Job 21

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 respondens autem Iob dixit

2 audite quaeso sermones meos et agetis paenitentiam

3 sustinete me ut et ego loquar et post mea si videbitur verba ridete

4 numquid contra hominem disputatio mea est ut merito non debeam contristari

5 adtendite me et obstupescite et superponite digitum ori vestro

6 et ego quando recordatus fuero pertimesco et concutit carnem meam tremor

7 quare ergo impii vivunt sublevati sunt confortatique divitiis

8 semen eorum permanet coram eis propinquorum turba et nepotum in conspectu eorum

9 domus eorum securae sunt et pacatae et non est virga Dei super illos

10 bos eorum concepit et non abortit vacca peperit et non est privata fetu suo

11 egrediuntur quasi greges parvuli eorum et infantes eorum exultant lusibus

12 tenent tympanum et citharam et gaudent ad sonitum organi

13 ducunt in bonis dies suos et in puncto ad inferna descendunt

14 qui dixerunt Deo recede a nobis et scientiam viarum tuarum nolumus

15 quid est Omnipotens ut serviamus ei et quid nobis prodest si oraverimus illum

16 verumtamen quia non sunt in manu eorum bona sua consilium impiorum longe sit a me

17 quotiens lucerna impiorum extinguetur et superveniet eis inundatio et dolores dividet furoris sui

18 erunt sicut paleae ante faciem venti et sicut favilla quam turbo dispergit

19 Deus servabit filiis illius dolorem patris et cum reddiderit tunc sciet

20 videbunt oculi eius interfectionem suam et de furore Omnipotentis bibet

21 quid enim ad eum pertinet de domo sua post se et si numerus mensuum eius dimidietur

22 numquid Deum quispiam docebit scientiam qui excelsos iudicat

23 iste moritur robustus et sanus dives et felix

24 viscera eius plena sunt adipe et medullis ossa illius inrigantur

25 alius vero moritur in amaritudine animae absque ullis opibus

26 et tamen simul in pulverem dormient et vermes operient eos

27 certe novi cogitationes vestras et sententias contra me iniquas

28 dicitis enim ubi est domus principis et ubi tabernacula impiorum

29 interrogate quemlibet de viatoribus et haec eadem eum intellegere cognoscetis

30 quia in diem perditionis servabitur malus et ad diem furoris ducitur

31 quis arguet coram eo viam eius et quae fecit quis reddet illi

32 ipse ad sepulchra ducetur et in congerie mortuorum vigilabit

33 dulcis fuit glareis Cocyti et post se omnem hominem trahet et ante se innumerabiles

34 quomodo igitur consolamini me frustra cum responsio vestra repugnare ostensa sit veritati

English Standard Version ESV

1 Then Job answered and said:

2 “Keep listening to my words, and let this be your comfort.

3 Bear with me, and I will speak, and after I have spoken, mock on.

4 As for me, is my complaint against man? Why should I not be impatient?

5 Look at me and be appalled, and lay your hand over your mouth.

6 When I remember, I am dismayed, and shuddering seizes my flesh.

7 Why do the wicked live, reach old age, and grow mighty in power?

8 Their offspring are established in their presence, and their descendants before their eyes.

9 Their houses are safe from fear, and no rod of God is upon them.

10 Their bull breeds without fail; their cow calves and does not miscarry.

11 They send out their little boys like a flock, and their children dance.

12 They sing to the tambourine and the lyre and rejoice to the sound of the pipe.

13 They spend their days in prosperity, and in peace they go down to Sheol.

14 They say to God, ‘Depart from us! We do not desire the knowledge of your ways.

15 What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? And what profit do we get if we pray to him? ’

16 Behold, is not their prosperity in their hand? The counsel of the wicked is far from me.

17 “How often is it that the lamp of the wicked is put out? That their calamity comes upon them? That God distributes pains in his anger?

18 That they are like straw before the wind, and like chaff that the storm carries away?

19 You say, ‘God stores up their iniquity for their children. ’Let him pay it out to them, that they may know it.

20 Let their own eyes see their destruction, and let them drink of the wrath of the Almighty.

21 For what do they care for their houses after them, when the number of their months is cut off?

22 Will any teach God knowledge, seeing that he judges those who are on high?

23 One dies in his full vigor, being wholly at ease and secure,

24 his pails full of milk and the marrow of his bones moist.

25 Another dies in bitterness of soul, never having tasted of prosperity.

26 They lie down alike in the dust, and the worms cover them.

27 “Behold, I know your thoughts and your schemes to wrong me.

28 For you say, ‘Where is the house of the prince? Where is the tent in which the wicked lived? ’

29 Have you not asked those who travel the roads, and do you not accept their testimony

30 that the evil man is spared in the day of calamity, that he is rescued in the day of wrath?

31 Who declares his way to his face, and who repays him for what he has done?

32 When he is carried to the grave, watch is kept over his tomb.

33 The clods of the valley are sweet to him; all mankind follows after him, and those who go before him are innumerable.

34 How then will you comfort me with empty nothings? There is nothing left of your answers but falsehood. ”
