Job 19 (WEBP)

[1] Then Job answered,
[2] “How long will you torment me, and crush me with words?
[3] You have reproached me ten times. You aren’t ashamed that you attack me.
[4] If it is true that I have erred, my error remains with myself.
[5] If indeed you will magnify yourselves against me, and plead against me my reproach,
[6] know now that God has subverted me, and has surrounded me with his net.
[7] “Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard. I cry for help, but there is no justice.
[8] He has walled up my way so that I can’t pass, and has set darkness in my paths.
[9] He has stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head.
[10] He has broken me down on every side, and I am gone. He has plucked my hope up like a tree.
[11] He has also kindled his wrath against me. He counts me among his adversaries.
[12] His troops come on together, build a siege ramp against me, and encamp around my tent.
[13] “He has put my brothers far from me. My acquaintances are wholly estranged from me.
[14] My relatives have gone away. My familiar friends have forgotten me.
[15] Those who dwell in my house and my maids consider me a stranger. I am an alien in their sight.
[16] I call to my servant, and he gives me no answer. I beg him with my mouth.
[17] My breath is offensive to my wife. I am loathsome to the children of my own mother.
[18] Even young children despise me. If I arise, they speak against me.
[19] All my familiar friends abhor me. They whom I loved have turned against me.
[20] My bones stick to my skin and to my flesh. I have escaped by the skin of my teeth.
[21] “Have pity on me. Have pity on me, you my friends, for the hand of God has touched me.
[22] Why do you persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?
[23] “Oh that my words were now written! Oh that they were inscribed in a book!
[24] That with an iron pen and lead they were engraved in the rock forever!
[25] But as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives. In the end, he will stand upon the earth.
[26] After my skin is destroyed, then I will see God in my flesh,
[27] whom I, even I, will see on my side. My eyes will see, and not as a stranger. “My heart is consumed within me.
[28] If you say, ‘How we will persecute him!’ because the root of the matter is found in me,
[29] be afraid of the sword, for wrath brings the punishments of the sword, that you may know there is a judgment.”

Job 19 (BYZ)

[1] υπολαβων δε ιωβ λεγει
[2] εως τινος εγκοπον ποιησετε ψυχην μου και καθαιρειτε με λογοις
[3] γνωτε μονον οτι ο κυριος εποιησε με ουτως καταλαλειτε μου ουκ αισχυνομενοι με επικεισθε μοι
[4] ναι δη επ αληθειας εγω επλανηθην παρ εμοι δε αυλιζεται πλανος (19:4Α) λαλησαι ρημα ο ουκ εδει τα δε ρηματα μου πλαναται και ουκ επι καιρου
[5] εα δε οτι επ εμοι μεγαλυνεσθε εναλλεσθε δε μοι ονειδει
[6] γνωτε ουν οτι ο κυριος εστιν ο ταραξας οχυρωμα δε αυτου επ εμε υψωσεν
[7] ιδου γελω ονειδει και ου λαλησω κεκραξομαι και ουδαμου κριμα
[8] κυκλω περιωκοδομημαι και ου μη διαβω επι προσωπον μου σκοτος εθετο
[9] την δε δοξαν απ εμου εξεδυσεν αφειλεν δε στεφανον απο κεφαλης μου
[10] διεσπασεν με κυκλω και ωχομην εξεκοψεν δε ωσπερ δενδρον την ελπιδα μου
[11] δεινως δε μοι οργη εχρησατο ηγησατο δε με ωσπερ εχθρον
[12] ομοθυμαδον δε ηλθον τα πειρατηρια αυτου επ εμοι ταις οδοις μου εκυκλωσαν με εγκαθετοι
[13] απ εμου δε αδελφοι μου απεστησαν εγνωσαν αλλοτριους η εμε φιλοι δε μου ανελεημονες γεγονασιν
[14] ου προσεποιησαντο με οι εγγυτατοι μου και οι ειδοτες μου το ονομα επελαθοντο μου
[15] γειτονες οικιας θεραπαιναι τε μου αλλογενης ημην εναντιον αυτων
[16] θεραποντα μου εκαλεσα και ουχ υπηκουσεν στομα δε μου εδεετο
[17] και ικετευον την γυναικα μου προσεκαλουμην δε κολακευων υιους παλλακιδων μου
[18] οι δε εις τον αιωνα με απεποιησαντο οταν αναστω κατ εμου λαλουσιν
[19] εβδελυξαντο δε με οι ειδοτες με ους δη ηγαπηκειν επανεστησαν μοι
[20] εν δερματι μου εσαπησαν αι σαρκες μου τα δε οστα μου εν οδουσιν εχεται
[21] ελεησατε με ελεησατε με ω φιλοι χειρ γαρ κυριου η αψαμενη μου εστιν
[22] δια τι δε με διωκετε ωσπερ και ο κυριος απο δε σαρκων μου ουκ εμπιπλασθε
[23] τις γαρ αν δωη γραφηναι τα ρηματα μου τεθηναι δε αυτα εν βιβλιω εις τον αιωνα
[24] εν γραφειω σιδηρω και μολιβω η εν πετραις εγγλυφηναι
[25] οιδα γαρ οτι αεναος εστιν ο εκλυειν με μελλων επι γης
[26] αναστησαι το δερμα μου το ανατλων ταυτα παρα γαρ κυριου ταυτα μοι συνετελεσθη
[27] α εγω εμαυτω συνεπισταμαι α ο οφθαλμος μου εορακεν και ουκ αλλος παντα δε μοι συντετελεσται εν κολπω
[28] ει δε και ερειτε τι ερουμεν εναντι αυτου και ριζαν λογου ευρησομεν εν αυτω
[29] ευλαβηθητε δη και υμεις απο επικαλυμματος θυμος γαρ επ ανομους επελευσεται και τοτε γνωσονται που εστιν αυτων η υλη
