Polyglot Bible: Job: Job 12

KJV

1  And Job³⁴⁷ answered⁶⁰³⁰ and said,⁵⁵⁹

2  No doubt⁵⁵¹ but³⁵⁸⁸ ye⁸⁵⁹ are the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ and wisdom²⁴⁵¹ shall die⁴¹⁹¹ with⁵⁹⁷³ you.

3  But¹⁵⁷¹ I have understanding³⁸²⁴ as well as you;³⁶⁴⁴ I⁵⁹⁵ am not³⁸⁰⁸ inferior⁵³⁰⁷ to⁴⁴⁸⁰ you: yea,⁸⁵⁴ who⁴³¹⁰ knoweth not³⁶⁹ such things as these?^{3644 428}

4  I am¹⁹⁶¹ as one mocked⁷⁸¹⁴ of his neighbor,⁷⁴⁵³ who calleth⁷¹²¹ upon God,⁴³³ and he answereth⁶⁰³⁰ him: the just⁶⁶⁶² upright⁸⁵⁴⁹ man is laughed to scorn.⁷⁸¹⁴

5  He that is ready³⁵⁵⁹ to slip⁴⁵⁷¹ with his feet⁷²⁷² is as a lamp³⁹⁴⁰ despised⁹³⁷ in the thought⁶²⁴⁸ of him that is at ease.⁷⁶⁰⁰

6  The tabernacles¹⁶⁸ of robbers⁷⁷⁰³ prosper,⁷⁹⁵¹ and they that provoke⁷²⁶⁴ God⁴¹⁰ are secure;⁹⁸⁷ into whose⁸³⁴ hand³⁰²⁷ God⁴³³ bringeth⁹³⁵ abundantly.

7  But¹⁹⁹ ask⁷⁵⁹² now⁴⁹⁹⁴ the beasts,⁹²⁹ and they shall teach³³⁸⁴ thee; and the fowls⁵⁷⁷⁵ of the air,⁸⁰⁶⁴ and they shall tell⁵⁰⁴⁶ thee:

8  Or¹⁷⁶ speak⁷⁸⁷⁸ to the earth,⁷⁷⁶ and it shall teach³³⁸⁴ thee: and the fishes¹⁷⁰⁹ of the sea³²²⁰ shall declare⁵⁶⁰⁸ unto thee.

9  Who⁴³¹⁰ knoweth³⁰⁴⁵ not³⁸⁰⁸ in all³⁶⁰⁵ these⁴²⁸ that³⁵⁸⁸ the hand³⁰²⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath wrought⁶²¹³ this?²⁰⁶³

10  In whose⁸³⁴ hand³⁰²⁷ is the soul⁵³¹⁵ of every³⁶⁰⁵ living thing,²⁴¹⁶ and the breath⁷³⁰⁷ of all³⁶⁰⁵ mankind.^{1320 376}

11  Doth not³⁸⁰⁸ the ear²⁴¹ try⁹⁷⁴ words?⁴⁴⁰⁵ and the mouth²⁴⁴¹ taste²⁹³⁸ his meat?⁴⁰⁰

12  With the ancient³⁴⁵³ is wisdom;²⁴⁵¹ and in length⁷⁵³ of days³¹¹⁷ understanding.⁸³⁹⁴

13  With⁵⁹⁷³ him is wisdom²⁴⁵¹ and strength,¹³⁶⁹ he hath counsel⁶⁰⁹⁸ and understanding.⁸³⁹⁴

14  Behold,²⁰⁰⁵ he breaketh down,²⁰⁴⁰ and it cannot³⁸⁰⁸ be built again:¹¹²⁹ he shutteth up^{5462 5921} a man,³⁷⁶ and there can be no opening.^{6605 3808}

15  Behold,²⁰⁰⁵ he withholdeth⁶¹¹³ the waters,⁴³²⁵ and they dry up:³⁰⁰¹ also he sendeth them out,⁷⁹⁷¹ and they overturn²⁰¹⁵ the earth.⁷⁷⁶

16  With⁵⁹⁷³ him is strength⁵⁷⁹⁷ and wisdom:⁸⁴⁵⁴ the deceived⁷⁶⁸³ and the deceiver⁷⁶⁸⁶ are his.

17  He leadeth¹⁹⁸⁰ counselors³²⁸⁹ away spoiled,⁷⁷⁵⁸ and maketh the judges⁸¹⁹⁹ fools.¹⁹⁸⁴

18  He looseth⁶⁶⁰⁵ the bond⁴¹⁴⁸ of kings,⁴⁴²⁸ and girdeth⁶³¹ their loins⁴⁹⁷⁵ with a girdle.²³²

19  He leadeth¹⁹⁸⁰ princes³⁵⁴⁸ away spoiled,⁷⁷⁵⁸ and overthroweth⁵⁵⁵⁷ the mighty.³⁸⁶

20  He removeth away⁵⁴⁹³ the speech⁸¹⁹³ of the trusty,⁵³⁹ and taketh away³⁹⁴⁷ the understanding²⁹⁴⁰ of the aged.²²⁰⁵

21  He poureth⁸²¹⁰ contempt⁹³⁷ upon⁵⁹²¹ princes,⁵⁰⁸¹ and weakeneth⁷⁵⁰³ the strength⁴²⁰⁶ of the mighty.⁶⁵⁰

22  He discovereth¹⁵⁴⁰ deep things⁶⁰¹³ out of⁴⁴⁸⁰ darkness,²⁸²² and bringeth out³³¹⁸ to light²¹⁶ the shadow of death.⁶⁷⁵⁷

23  He increaseth⁷⁶⁷⁹ the nations,¹⁴⁷¹ and destroyeth⁶ them: he enlargeth⁷⁸⁴⁹ the nations,¹⁴⁷¹ and straiteneth⁵¹⁴⁸ them again.

24  He taketh away⁵⁴⁹³ the heart³⁸²⁰ of the chief⁷²¹⁸ of the people⁵⁹⁷¹ of the earth,⁷⁷⁶ and causeth them to wander⁸⁵⁸² in a wilderness⁸⁴¹⁴ where there is no³⁸⁰⁸ way.¹⁸⁷⁰

25  They grope⁴⁹⁵⁹ in the dark²⁸²² without³⁸⁰⁸ light,²¹⁶ and he maketh them to stagger⁸⁵⁸² like a drunken⁷⁹¹⁰ man.

1 ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Ιωβ λέγει

2 εἶτα ὑμεῖς ἐστε ἄνθρωποι ἦ μεθ᾽ ὑμῶν τελευτήσει σοφία

3 κἀμοὶ μὲν καρδία καθ᾽ ὑμᾶς ἐστιν

4 δίκαιος γὰρ ἀνὴρ καὶ ἄμεμπτος ἐγενήθη εἰς χλεύασμα

5 εἰς χρόνον γὰρ τακτὸν ἡτοίμαστο πεσεῖν ὑπὸ ἄλλους οἴκους τε αὐτοῦ ἐκπορθεῖσθαι ὑπὸ ἀνόμων

6 οὐ μὴν δὲ ἀλλὰ μηδεὶς πεποιθέτω πονηρὸς ὢν ἀθῷος ἔσεσθαι ὅσοι παροργίζουσιν τὸν κύριον ὡς οὐχὶ καὶ ἔτασις αὐτῶν ἔσται

7 ἀλλὰ δὴ ἐπερώτησον τετράποδα ἐάν σοι εἴπωσιν πετεινὰ δὲ οὐρανοῦ ἐάν σοι ἀπαγγείλωσιν

8 ἐκδιήγησαι δὲ γῇ ἐάν σοι φράσῃ καὶ ἐξηγήσονταί σοι οἱ ἰχθύες τῆς θαλάσσης

9 τίς οὐκ ἔγνω ἐν πᾶσι τούτοις ὅτι χεὶρ κυρίου ἐποίησεν ταῦτα

10 εἰ μὴ ἐν χειρὶ αὐτοῦ ψυχὴ πάντων τῶν ζώντων καὶ πνεῦμα παντὸς ἀνθρώπου

11 οὖς μὲν γὰρ ῥήματα διακρίνει λάρυγξ δὲ σῖτα γεύεται

12 ἐν πολλῷ χρόνῳ σοφία ἐν δὲ πολλῷ βίῳ ἐπιστήμη

13 παρ᾽ αὐτῷ σοφία καὶ δύναμις αὐτῷ βουλὴ καὶ σύνεσις

14 ἐὰν καταβάλῃ τίς οἰκοδομήσει ἐὰν κλείσῃ κατὰ ἀνθρώπων τίς ἀνοίξει

15 ἐὰν κωλύσῃ τὸ ὥδωρ ξηρανεῖ τὴν γῆν ἐὰν δὲ ἐπαφῇ ἀπώλεσεν αὐτὴν καταστρέψας

16 παρ᾽ αὐτῷ κράτος καὶ ἰσχύς αὐτῷ ἐπιστήμη καὶ σύνεσις

17 διάγων βουλευτὰς αἰχμαλώτους κριτὰς δὲ γῆς ἐξέστησεν

18 καθιζάνων βασιλεῖς ἐπὶ θρόνους καὶ περιέδησεν ζώνῃ ὀσφύας αὐτῶν

19 ἐξαποστέλλων ἱερεῖς αἰχμαλώτους δυνάστας δὲ γῆς κατέστρεψεν

20 διαλλάσσων χείλη πιστῶν σύνεσιν δὲ πρεσβυτέρων ἔγνω

21 ἐκχέων ἀτιμίαν ἐπ᾽ ἄρχοντας ταπεινοὺς δὲ ἰάσατο

22 ἀνακαλύπτων βαθέα ἐκ σκότους ἐξήγαγεν δὲ εἰς φῶς σκιὰν θανάτου

23 πλανῶν ἔθνη καὶ ἀπολλύων αὐτά καταστρωννύων ἔθνη καὶ καθοδηγῶν αὐτά

24 διαλλάσσων καρδίας ἀρχόντων γῆς ἐπλάνησεν δὲ αὐτοὺς ὁδῷ ᾗ οὐκ ᾔδεισαν

25 ψηλαφήσαισαν σκότος καὶ μὴ φῶς πλανηθείησαν δὲ ὥσπερ ὁ μεθύων

1 Respondens autem Job, dixit:

2 [Ergo vos estis soli homines,
et vobiscum morietur sapientia?

3 Et mihi est cor sicut et vobis, nec inferior vestri sum;
quis enim hæc quæ nostis ignorat?

4 Qui deridetur ab amico suo, sicut ego,
invocabit Deum, et exaudiet eum:
deridetur enim justi simplicitas.

5 Lampas contempta apud cogitationes divitum
parata ad tempus statutum.

6 Abundant tabernacula prædonum,
et audacter provocant Deum,
cum ipse dederit omnia in manus eorum.

7 Nimirum interroga jumenta, et docebunt te;
et volatilia cæli, et indicabunt tibi.

8 Loquere terræ, et respondebit tibi,
et narrabunt pisces maris.

9 Quis ignorat quod omnia hæc manus Domini fecerit?

10 In cujus manu anima omnis viventis,
et spiritus universæ carnis hominis.

11 Nonne auris verba dijudicat?
et fauces comedentis, saporem?

12 In antiquis est sapientia,
et in multo tempore prudentia.

13 Apud ipsum est sapientia et fortitudo;
ipse habet consilium et intelligentiam.

14 Si destruxerit, nemo est qui ædificet;
si incluserit hominem, nullus est qui aperiat.

15 Si continuerit aquas, omnia siccabuntur;
et si emiserit eas, subvertent terram.

16 Apud ipsum est fortitudo et sapientia;
ipse novit et decipientem, et eum qui decipitur.

17 Adducit consiliarios in stultum finem,
et judices in stuporem.

18 Balteum regum dissolvit,
et præcingit fune renes eorum.

19 Ducit sacerdotes inglorios,
et optimates supplantat:

20 commutans labium veracium,
et doctrinam senum auferens.

21 Effundit despectionem super principes,
eos qui oppressi fuerant relevans.

22 Qui revelat profunda de tenebris,
et producit in lucem umbram mortis.

23 Qui multiplicat gentes, et perdit eas,
et subversas in integrum restituit.

24 Qui immutat cor principum populi terræ,
et decipit eos ut frustra incedant per invium:

25 palpabunt quasi in tenebris, et non in luce,
et errare eos faciet quasi ebrios.]
