Job 6

The Latin Vulgate w/ Apocrypha VULA

1 respondens autem Iob dixit

2 utinam adpenderentur peccata mea quibus iram merui et calamitas quam patior in statera

3 quasi harena maris haec gravior appareret unde et verba mea dolore sunt plena

4 quia sagittae Domini in me sunt quarum indignatio ebibit spiritum meum et terrores Domini militant contra me

5 numquid rugiet onager cum habuerit herbam aut mugiet bos cum ante praesepe plenum steterit

6 aut poterit comedi insulsum quod non est sale conditum aut potest aliquis gustare quod gustatum adfert mortem

7 quae prius tangere nolebat anima mea nunc prae angustia cibi mei sunt

8 quis det ut veniat petitio mea et quod expecto tribuat mihi Deus

9 et qui coepit ipse me conterat solvat manum suam et succidat me

10 et haec mihi sit consolatio ut adfligens me dolore non parcat nec contradicam sermonibus Sancti

11 quae est enim fortitudo mea ut sustineam aut quis finis meus ut patienter agam

12 nec fortitudo lapidum fortitudo mea nec caro mea aerea est

13 ecce non est auxilium mihi in me et necessarii quoque mei recesserunt a me

14 qui tollit ab amico suo misericordiam timorem Domini derelinquit

15 fratres mei praeterierunt me sicut torrens qui raptim transit in convallibus

16 qui timent pruinam inruet super eos nix

17 tempore quo fuerint dissipati peribunt et ut incaluerit solventur de loco suo

18 involutae sunt semitae gressuum eorum ambulabunt in vacuum et peribunt

19 considerate semitas Theman itinera Saba et expectate paulisper

20 confusi sunt quia speravi venerunt quoque usque ad me et pudore cooperti sunt

21 nunc venistis et modo videntes plagam meam timetis

22 numquid dixi adferte mihi et de substantia vestra donate mihi

23 vel liberate me de manu hostis et de manu robustorum eruite me

24 docete me et ego tacebo et si quid forte ignoravi instruite me

25 quare detraxistis sermonibus veritatis cum e vobis nullus sit qui possit arguere

26 ad increpandum tantum eloquia concinnatis et in ventum verba profertis

27 super pupillum inruitis et subvertere nitimini amicum vestrum

28 verumtamen quod coepistis explete praebete aurem et videte an mentiar

29 respondete obsecro absque contentione et loquentes id quod iustum est iudicate

30 et non invenietis in lingua mea iniquitatem nec in faucibus meis stultitia personabit

New International Version NIV

1 Then Job replied:

2 “If only my anguish could be weighed and all my misery be placed on the scales!

3 It would surely outweigh the sand of the seas— no wonder my words have been impetuous.

4 The arrows of the Almighty are in me, my spirit drinks in their poison; God’s terrors are marshaled against me.

5 Does a wild donkey bray when it has grass, or an ox bellow when it has fodder?

6 Is tasteless food eaten without salt, or is there flavor in the sap of the mallow ?

7 I refuse to touch it; such food makes me ill.

8 “Oh, that I might have my request, that God would grant what I hope for,

9 that God would be willing to crush me, to let loose his hand and cut off my life!

10 Then I would still have this consolation— my joy in unrelenting pain— that I had not denied the words of the Holy One.

11 “What strength do I have, that I should still hope? What prospects, that I should be patient?

12 Do I have the strength of stone? Is my flesh bronze?

13 Do I have any power to help myself, now that success has been driven from me?

14 “Anyone who withholds kindness from a friend forsakes the fear of the Almighty.

15 But my brothers are as undependable as intermittent streams, as the streams that overflow

16 when darkened by thawing ice and swollen with melting snow,

17 but that stop flowing in the dry season, and in the heat vanish from their channels.

18 Caravans turn aside from their routes; they go off into the wasteland and perish.

19 The caravans of Tema look for water, the traveling merchants of Sheba look in hope.

20 They are distressed, because they had been confident; they arrive there, only to be disappointed.

21 Now you too have proved to be of no help; you see something dreadful and are afraid.

22 Have I ever said, ‘Give something on my behalf, pay a ransom for me from your wealth,

23 deliver me from the hand of the enemy, rescue me from the clutches of the ruthless’?

24 “Teach me, and I will be quiet; show me where I have been wrong.

25 How painful are honest words! But what do your arguments prove?

26 Do you mean to correct what I say, and treat my desperate words as wind?

27 You would even cast lots for the fatherless and barter away your friend.

28 “But now be so kind as to look at me. Would I lie to your face?

29 Relent, do not be unjust; reconsider, for my integrity is at stake.

30 Is there any wickedness on my lips? Can my mouth not discern malice?
