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

New King James Version NKJV

1 Then Job answered and said:

2 "Listen carefully to my speech, And let this be your consolation.

3 Bear with me that I may speak, And after I have spoken, keep mocking.

4 "As for me, is my complaint against man? And if it were, why should I not be impatient?

5 Look at me and be astonished; Put your hand over your mouth.

6 Even when I remember I am terrified, And trembling takes hold of my flesh.

7 Why do the wicked live and become old, Yes, become mighty in power?

8 Their descendants are established with them in their sight, And their offspring before their eyes.

9 Their houses are safe from fear, Neither is the rod of God upon them.

10 Their bull breeds without failure; Their cow calves without miscarriage.

11 They send forth their little ones like a flock, And their children dance.

12 They sing to the tambourine and harp, And rejoice to the sound of the flute.

13 They spend their days in wealth, And in a moment go down to the grave.

14 Yet they say to God, 'Depart from us, For we do not desire the knowledge of Your ways.

15 Who is the Almighty, that we should serve Him? And what profit do we have if we pray to Him?'

16 Indeed their prosperity is not in their hand; The counsel of the wicked is far from me.

17 "How often is the lamp of the wicked put out? How often does their destruction come upon them, The sorrows God distributes in His anger?

18 They are like straw before the wind, And like chaff that a storm carries away.

19 They say, 'God lays up one's iniquity for his children'; Let Him recompense him, that he may know it.

20 Let his eyes see his destruction, And let him drink of the wrath of the Almighty.

21 For what does he care about his household after him, When the number of his months is cut in half?

22 "Can anyone teach God knowledge, Since He judges those on high?

23 One dies in his full strength, Being wholly at ease and secure;

24 His pails are full of milk, And the marrow of his bones is moist.

25 Another man dies in the bitterness of his soul, Never having eaten with pleasure.

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

27 "Look, I know your thoughts, And the schemes with which you would wrong me.

28 For you say, 'Where is the house of the prince? And where is the tent, The dwelling place of the wicked?'

29 Have you not asked those who travel the road? And do you not know their signs?

30 For the wicked are reserved for the day of doom; They shall be brought out on the day of wrath.

31 Who condemns his way to his face? And who repays him for what he has done?

32 Yet he shall be brought to the grave, And a vigil kept over the tomb.

33 The clods of the valley shall be sweet to him; Everyone shall follow him, As countless have gone before him.

34 How then can you comfort me with empty words, Since falsehood remains in your answers?"
