35ΙΩΒBrenton(Lxx)JOB Revised Standard VersionJOB 35
1Ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Ελιους λέγει
 And Elius resumed and said,
 And Eli'hu said:וַיַּעַן אֱלִיהוּ וַיֹּאמַר׃ 1
2Τί τοῦτο ἡγήσω ἐν κρίσει;
σὺ τίς εἶ ὅτι εἶπας Δίκαιός εἰμι ἔναντι Κυρίου;
 What is this that you thinking to be according to right?
who are you that you have said, I am righteous before the Lord?
 "Do you think this to be just?
Do you say, 'It is my right before God,'
הֲזֹאת חָשַׁבְתָּ לְמִשְׁפָּט אָמַרְתָּ צִדְקִי מֵאֵל׃ 2
3ἢ ἐρεῖς Τί ποιήσω ἁμαρτών;
 I will answer you,
and your three friends.
 that you ask, 'What advantage have I?
How am I better off than if I had sinned?'
כִּי־תֹאמַר מַה־יִּסְכָּן־לָךְ מָה־אֹעִיל מֵחַטָּאתִי׃ 3
4ἐγὼ σοὶ δώσω ἀπόκρισιν καὶ τοῖς τρισὶν φίλοις σου.
 Look up to the sky and see;
and consider the clouds,
how high [they are] above you.
 I will answer you
and your friends with you.
אֲנִי אֲשִׁיבְךָ מִלִּין וְאֶת־רֵעֶיךָ עִמָּךְ׃ 4
5ἀνάβλεψον εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ ἰδέ,
κατάμαθε δὲ νέφη ὡς ὑψηλὰ ἀπὸ σοῦ.
 If you have sinned,
what will you do?
 Look at the heavens, and see;
and behold the clouds, which are higher than you.
הַבֵּט שָׁמַיִם וּרְאֵה וְשׁוּר שְׁחָקִים גָּבְהוּ מִמֶּךָּ׃ 5
6εἰ ἥμαρτες, τί πράξεις;
εἰ δὲ καὶ πολλὰ ἠνόμησας, τί δύνασαι ποιῆσαι;
 and if too you have transgressed much,
what can you perform?
 If you have sinned, what do you accomplish against him?
And if your transgressions are multiplied,
what do you do to him?
אִם־חָטָאתָ מַה־תִּפְעָל־בֹּו וְרַבּוּ פְשָׁעֶיךָ מַה־תַּעֲשֶׂה־לֹּו׃ 6
7ἐπεὶ δὲ οὖν δίκαιος εἶ, τί δώσεις αὐτῷ;
ἢ τί ἐκ χειρός σου λήμψεται;
 And suppose you are righteous,
what will you give him?
or what shall he receive of your hand?
 If you are righteous, what do you give to him;
or what does he receive from your hand?
אִם־צָדַקְתָּ מַה־תִּתֶּן־לֹו אֹו מַה־מִיָּדְךָ יִקָּח׃ 7
8ἀνδρὶ τῷ ὁμοίῳ σου ἡ ἀσέβειά σου,
καὶ υἱῷ ἀνθρώπου ἡ δικαιοσύνη σου.
 Your ungodliness [may affect] a man who is like to you;
or your righteousness a son of man.
 Your wickedness concerns a man like yourself,
and your righteousness a son of man.
לְאִישׁ־כָּמֹוךָ רִשְׁעֶךָ וּלְבֶן־אָדָם צִדְקָתֶךָ׃ 8
9ἀπὸ πλήθους συκοφαντούμενοι κεκράξονται,
βοήσονται ἀπὸ βραχίονος πολλῶν.
 They that are oppressed of a multitude will be ready to cry out;
they will call for help because of the arm of many.
 "Because of the multitude of oppressions people cry out;
they call for help because of the arm of the mighty.
מֵרֹב עֲשׁוּקִים יַזְעִיקוּ יְשַׁוְּעוּ מִזְּרֹועַ רַבִּים׃ 9
10καὶ οὐκ εἶπεν Ποῦ ἐστιν ὁ θεὸς ὁ ποιήσας με,
ὁ κατατάσσων φυλακὰς νυκτερινάς,
 But none said, Where is God that made me,
who appoints the night-watches;
 But none says, 'Where is God my Maker,
who gives songs in the night,
וְלֹא־אָמַר אַיֵּה אֱלֹוהַּ עֹשָׂי נֹתֵן זְמִרֹות בַּלָּיְלָה׃ 10
11ὁ διορίζων με ἀπὸ τετραπόδων γῆς,
ἀπὸ δὲ πετεινῶν οὐρανοῦ;
 who makes me to differ from the four-footed beasts of the earth,
and from the birds of the sky?
 who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth,
and makes us wiser than the birds of the air?'
מַלְּפֵנוּ מִבַּהֲמֹות אָרֶץ וּמֵעֹוף הַשָּׁמַיִם יְחַכְּמֵנוּ׃ 11
12ἐκεῖ κεκράξονται, καὶ οὐ μὴ εἰσακούσῃ καὶ ἀπὸ ὕβρεως πονηρῶν.
 There they shall cry,
and none shall listen,
even because of the insolence of wicked men.
 There they cry out, but he does not answer,
because of the pride of evil men.
שָׁם יִצְעֲקוּ וְלֹא יַעֲנֶה מִפְּנֵי גְּאֹון רָעִים׃ 12
13ἄτοπα γὰρ οὐ βούλεται ὁ κύριος ἰδεῖν·
αὐτὸς γὰρ ὁ παντοκράτωρ ὁρατής ἐστιν
 For the Lord desires not to look on error,
for he is the Almighty One.
 Surely God does not hear an empty cry,
nor does the Almighty regard it.
אַךְ־שָׁוְא לֹא־יִשְׁמַע אֵל וְשַׁדַּי לֹא יְשׁוּרֶנָּה׃ 13
14τῶν συντελούντων τὰ ἄνομα καὶ σώσει με.
κρίθητι δὲ ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ, εἰ δύνασαι αἰνέσαι αὐτόν, ὡς ἔστιν.
 He beholds them that perform lawless deeds, and he will save me:
and do you plead before him, if you can praise him, as it is [possible] even now.
 How much less when you say that you do not see him,
that the case is before him, and you are waiting for him!
אַף כִּי־תֹאמַר לֹא תְשׁוּרֶנּוּ דִּין לְפָנָיו וּתְחֹולֵל לֹו׃ 14
15καὶ νῦν, ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἐπισκεπτόμενος, ὀργὴν αὐτοῦ,
καὶ οὐκ ἔγνω παραπτώματι σφόδρα·
 For he is not [now] regarding his wrath,
nor has he noticed severely any trespass.
 And now, because his anger does not punish,
and he does not greatly heed transgression,
וְעַתָּה כִּי־אַיִן פָּקַד אַפֹּו וְלֹא־יָדַע בַּפַּשׁ מְאֹד׃ 15
16καὶ Ιωβ ματαίως ἀνοίγει τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ, ἐν ἀγνωσίᾳ ῥήματα βαρύνει.
καὶ Ιωβ ματαίως ἀνοίγει τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ, ἐν ἀγνωσίᾳ ῥήματα βαρύνει.
 Yet Job vainly opens his mouth,
in ignorance he multiplies words.
 Job opens his mouth in empty talk,
he multiplies words without knowledge."		וְאִיֹּוב הֶבֶל יִפְצֶה־פִּיהוּ בִּבְלִי־דַעַת מִלִּין יַכְבִּר׃ ף 16
