Job 23

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 respondens autem Iob dixit

2 nunc quoque in amaritudine est sermo meus et manus plagae meae adgravata est super gemitum meum

3 quis mihi tribuat ut cognoscam et inveniam illum et veniam usque ad solium eius

4 ponam coram eo iudicium et os meum replebo increpationibu

5 ut sciam verba quae mihi respondeat et intellegam quid loquatur mihi

6 nolo multa fortitudine contendat mecum nec magnitudinis suae mole me premat

7 proponat aequitatem contra me et perveniat ad victoriam iudicium meum

8 si ad orientem iero non apparet si ad occidentem non intellegam eum

9 si ad sinistram quid agat non adprehendam eum si me vertam ad dextram non videbo illum

10 ipse vero scit viam meam et probavit me quasi aurum quod per ignem transit

11 vestigia eius secutus est pes meus viam eius custodivi et non declinavi ex ea

12 a mandatis labiorum eius non recessi et in sinu meo abscondi verba oris eius

13 ipse enim solus est et nemo avertere potest cogitationem eius et anima eius quodcumque voluerit hoc facit

14 cum expleverit in me voluntatem suam et alia multa similia praesto sunt e

15 et idcirco a facie eius turbatus sum et considerans eum timore sollicitor

16 Deus mollivit cor meum et Omnipotens conturbavit me

17 non enim perii propter inminentes tenebras nec faciem meam operuit caligo

English Standard Version ESV

1 Then Job answered and said:

2 “Today also my complaint is bitter; my hand is heavy on account of my groaning.

3 Oh, that I knew where I might find him, that I might come even to his seat!

4 I would lay my case before him and fill my mouth with arguments.

5 I would know what he would answer me and understand what he would say to me.

6 Would he contend with me in the greatness of his power? No; he would pay attention to me.

7 There an upright man could argue with him, and I would be acquitted forever by my judge.

8 “Behold, I go forward, but he is not there, and backward, but I do not perceive him;

9 on the left hand when he is working, I do not behold him; he turns to the right hand, but I do not see him.

10 But he knows the way that I take; when he has tried me, I shall come out as gold.

11 My foot has held fast to his steps; I have kept his way and have not turned aside.

12 I have not departed from the commandment of his lips; I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my portion of food.

13 But he is unchangeable, and who can turn him back? What he desires, that he does.

14 For he will complete what he appoints for me, and many such things are in his mind.

15 Therefore I am terrified at his presence; when I consider, I am in dread of him.

16 God has made my heart faint; the Almighty has terrified me;

17 yet I am not silenced because of the darkness, nor because thick darkness covers my face.
