Job 9

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 et respondens Iob ait

2 vere scio quod ita sit et quod non iustificetur homo conpositus Deo

3 si voluerit contendere cum eo non poterit ei respondere unum pro mille

4 sapiens corde est et fortis robore quis restitit ei et pacem habuit

5 qui transtulit montes et nescierunt hii quos subvertit in furore suo

6 qui commovet terram de loco suo et columnae eius concutiuntur

7 qui praecipit soli et non oritur et stellas claudit quasi sub signaculo

8 qui extendit caelos solus et graditur super fluctus maris

9 qui facit Arcturum et Oriona et Hyadas et interiora austri

10 qui facit magna et inconprehensibilia et mirabilia quorum non est numerus

11 si venerit ad me non videbo si abierit non intellegam eum

12 si repente interroget quis respondebit ei vel quis dicere potest cur facis

13 Deus cuius resistere irae nemo potest et sub quo curvantur qui portant orbem

14 quantus ergo sum ego qui respondeam ei et loquar verbis meis cum eo

15 qui etiam si habuero quippiam iustum non respondebo sed meum iudicem deprecabor

16 et cum invocantem exaudierit me non credo quod audierit vocem meam

17 in turbine enim conteret me et multiplicabit vulnera mea etiam sine causa

18 non concedit requiescere spiritum meum et implet me amaritudinibus

19 si fortitudo quaeritur robustissimus est si aequitas iudicii nemo pro me audet testimonium dicere

20 si iustificare me voluero os meum condemnabit me si innocentem ostendere pravum me conprobabit

21 etiam si simplex fuero hoc ipsum ignorabit anima mea et taedebit me vitae meae

22 unum est quod locutus sum et innocentem et impium ipse consumit

23 si flagellat occidat semel et non de poenis innocentum rideat

24 terra data est in manu impii vultum iudicum eius operit quod si non ille est quis ergo est

25 dies mei velociores fuerunt cursore fugerunt et non viderunt bonum

26 pertransierunt quasi naves poma portantes sicut aquila volans ad escam

27 cum dixero nequaquam ita loquar commuto faciem meam et dolore torqueor

28 verebar omnia opera mea sciens quod non parceres delinquenti

29 si autem et sic impius sum quare frustra laboravi

30 si lotus fuero quasi aquis nivis et fulserint velut mundissimae manus meae

31 tamen sordibus intingues me et abominabuntur me vestimenta mea

32 neque enim viro qui similis mei est respondebo nec qui mecum in iudicio ex aequo possit audiri

33 non est qui utrumque valeat arguere et ponere manum suam in ambobus

34 auferat a me virgam suam et pavor eius non me terreat

35 loquar et non timebo eum neque enim possum metuens respondere

English Standard Version ESV

1 Then Job answered and said:

2 “Truly I know that it is so: But how can a man be in the right before God?

3 If one wished to contend with him, one could not answer him once in a thousand times.

4 He is wise in heart and mighty in strength—who has hardened himself against him, and succeeded? —

5 he who removes mountains, and they know it not, when he overturns them in his anger,

6 who shakes the earth out of its place, and its pillars tremble;

7 who commands the sun, and it does not rise; who seals up the stars;

8 who alone stretched out the heavens and trampled the waves of the sea;

9 who made the Bear and Orion, the Pleiades and the chambers of the south;

10 who does great things beyond searching out, and marvelous things beyond number.

11 Behold, he passes by me, and I see him not; he moves on, but I do not perceive him.

12 Behold, he snatches away; who can turn him back? Who will say to him, ‘What are you doing? ’

13 “God will not turn back his anger; beneath him bowed the helpers of Rahab.

14 How then can I answer him, choosing my words with him?

15 Though I am in the right, I cannot answer him; I must appeal for mercy to my accuser.

16 If I summoned him and he answered me, I would not believe that he was listening to my voice.

17 For he crushes me with a tempest and multiplies my wounds without cause;

18 he will not let me get my breath, but fills me with bitterness.

19 If it is a contest of strength, behold, he is mighty! If it is a matter of justice, who can summon him?

20 Though I am in the right, my own mouth would condemn me; though I am blameless, he would prove me perverse.

21 I am blameless; I regard not myself; I loathe my life.

22 It is all one; therefore I say, ‘He destroys both the blameless and the wicked. ’

23 When disaster brings sudden death, he mocks at the calamity of the innocent.

24 The earth is given into the hand of the wicked; he covers the faces of its judges— if it is not he, who then is it?

25 “My days are swifter than a runner; they flee away; they see no good.

26 They go by like skiffs of reed, like an eagle swooping on the prey.

27 If I say, ‘I will forget my complaint, I will put off my sad face, and be of good cheer, ’

28 I become afraid of all my suffering, for I know you will not hold me innocent.

29 I shall be condemned; why then do I labor in vain?

30 If I wash myself with snow and cleanse my hands with lye,

31 yet you will plunge me into a pit, and my own clothes will abhor me.

32 For he is not a man, as I am, that I might answer him, that we should come to trial together.

33 There is no arbiter between us, who might lay his hand on us both.

34 Let him take his rod away from me, and let not dread of him terrify me.

35 Then I would speak without fear of him, for I am not so in myself.
