 Old Testament in Greek (Septuagint) : The Septuagint in English (Brenton)

Ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Ιωβ λέγει τῷ κυρίῳ
Job. Jb.42.1-6Job. Jb.42.1-6Then Job answered and said to the Lord,
Οἶδα ὅτι πάντα δύνασαι,
ἀδυνατεῖ δέ σοι οὐθέν.
  I know that you can do all things,
and nothing is impossible with you.
τίς γάρ ἐστιν ὁ κρύπτων σε βουλήν;
φειδόμενος δὲ ῥημάτων καὶ σὲ οἴεται κρύπτειν;
τίς δὲ ἀναγγελεῖ μοι ἃ οὐκ ᾔδειν,
μεγάλα καὶ θαυμαστὰ ἃ οὐκ ἠπιστάμην;
  For who is he that hides counsel from you?
or who keeps back his words,
and thinks to hide them from you?
and who will tell me what I knew not,
great and wonderful things which I understood not?
ἄκουσον δέ μου, κύριε, ἵνα κἀγὼ λαλήσω·
ἐρωτήσω δέ σε, σὺ δέ με δίδαξον.
  But hear me, O Lord, that I also may speak:
and I will ask you, and you [shall] teach me.
ἀκοὴν μὲν ὠτὸς ἤκουόν σου τὸ πρότερον,
νυνὶ δὲ ὁ ὀφθαλμός μου ἑόρακέν σε·
  I have heard the report of you by the ear before;
but now mine eye has seen you.
διὸ ἐφαύλισα ἐμαυτὸν καὶ ἐτάκην,
ἥγημαι δὲ ἐμαυτὸν γῆν καὶ σποδόν.
  Why I have counted myself vile, and have fainted:
and I esteem myself dust and ashes.
