1 addidit quoque Iob adsumens parabolam suam et dixit
2 vivit Deus qui abstulit iudicium meum
et Omnipotens qui ad amaritudinem adduxit animam meam
3 quia donec superest halitus in me et spiritus Dei in naribus meis
4 non loquentur labia mea iniquitatem
nec lingua mea meditabitur mendacium
5 absit a me ut iustos vos esse iudicem
donec deficiam non recedam ab innocentia mea
6 iustificationem meam quam coepi tenere non deseram
nec enim reprehendit me cor meum
in omni vita mea
7 sit ut impius inimicus meus
et adversarius meus quasi iniquus
8 quae enim spes est hypocritae
si avare rapiat et non liberet Deus animam eius
9 numquid clamorem eius Deus audiet
cum venerit super illum angustia
10 aut poterit in Omnipotente delectari
et invocare Deum in omni tempore
11 docebo vos per manum Dei quae Omnipotens habeat nec abscondam
12 ecce vos omnes nostis et quid sine causa vana loquimini
13 haec est pars hominis impii apud Deum
et hereditas violentorum quam ab Omnipotente suscipient
14 si multiplicati fuerint filii eius in gladio erunt
et nepotes eius non saturabuntur pane
15 qui reliqui fuerint ex eo sepelientur in interitu
et viduae illius non plorabunt
16 si conportaverit quasi terram argentum
et sicut lutum praeparaverit vestimenta
17 praeparabit quidem sed iustus vestietur illis
et argentum innocens dividet
18 aedificavit sicut tinea domum suam et sicut custos fecit umbraculum
19 dives cum dormierit nihil secum auferet
aperit oculos suos et nihil inveniet
20 adprehendit eum quasi aqua inopia
nocte opprimet eum tempestas
21 tollet eum ventus urens et auferet
et velut turbo rapiet eum de loco suo
22 et mittet super eum et non parcet
de manu eius fugiens fugiet
23 stringet super eum manus suas
et sibilabit super illum intuens locum eius
1 Moreover Job continued his parable, and said, 2 As God liveth, who hath taken away my judgment; and the Almighty, who hath vexed my soul; 3 All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils; 4 My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit. 5 God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me. 6 My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.
7 Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous. 8 For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul? 9 Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him? 10 Will he delight himself in the Almighty? will he always call upon God?
11 I will teach you by the hand of God: that which is with the Almighty will I not conceal. 12 Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it; why then are ye thus altogether vain? 13 This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, which they shall receive of the Almighty. 14 If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword: and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread. 15 Those that remain of him shall be buried in death: and his widows shall not weep. 16 Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay; 17 He may prepare it , but the just shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the silver. 18 He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth that the keeper maketh. 19 The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he openeth his eyes, and he is not. 20 Terrors take hold on him as waters, a tempest stealeth him away in the night. 21 The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth: and as a storm hurleth him out of his place. 22 For God shall cast upon him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand. 23 Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.
