 Old Testament in Greek (Septuagint) : The Septuagint in English (Brenton)
ἐλαφρός ἐστιν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον ὕδατος·
καταραθείη ἡ μερὶς αὐτῶν ἐπὶ γῆς.
[Zophar] Jb.24.18-25[Zophar] Jb.24.18-25He is swift on the face of the water:
let his portion be cursed on the earth;
and let their plants be laid bare.
ἀναφανείη δὲ τὰ φυτὰ αὐτῶν ἐπὶ γῆς ξηρά·
ἀγκαλίδα γὰρ ὀρφανῶν ἥρπασαν.
  [Let them be] withered upon the earth;
for they have plundered the sheaves of the fatherless.
εἶτ ἀνεμνήσθη αὐτοῦ ἡ ἁμαρτία,
ὥσπερ δὲ ὁμίχλη δρόσου ἀφανὴς ἐγένετο·
ἀποδοθείη δὲ αὐτῷ ἃ ἔπραξεν,
συντριβείη δὲ πᾶς ἄδικος ἴσα ξύλῳ ἀνιάτῳ.
  Then is his sin brought to remembrance,
and he vanishes like a vapour of dew:
but let what he has done be recompensed to him,
and let every unrighteous one be crushed like rotten wood.
στεῖραν γὰρ οὐκ εὖ ἐποίησεν καὶ γύναιον οὐκ ἠλέησεν,
  For he has not treated the barren woman well,
and has had no pity on a feeble woman.
θυμῷ δὲ κατέστρεψεν ἀδυνάτους.
ἀναστὰς τοιγαροῦν οὐ μὴ πιστεύσῃ κατὰ τῆς ἑαυτοῦ ζωῆς·
  And in wrath he has overthrown the helpless:
therefore when he has arisen,
[a man] will not feel secure of his own life.
μαλακισθεὶς μὴ ἐλπιζέτω ὑγιασθῆναι, ἀλλὰ πεσεῖται νόσῳ.
  When he has fallen sick, let him not hope to recover:
but let him perish by disease.
πολλοὺς γὰρ ἐκάκωσεν τὸ ὕψωμα αὐτοῦ·
ἐμαράνθη δὲ ὥσπερ μολόχη ἐν καύματι,
ἢ ὥσπερ στάχυς ἀπὸ καλάμης αὐτόματος ἀποπεσών.
  For his exaltation has hurt many;
but he has withered as mallows in the heat,
or as an ear of corn falling off of itself from the stalk.
εἰ δὲ μή, τίς ἐστιν ὁ φάμενος ψευδῆ με λέγειν καὶ θήσει εἰς οὐδὲν τὰ ῥήματά μου;
  But if not, who is he that says I speak falsely,
and will make my words of no account?
