Job 27 (WEBP)

[1] Job again took up his parable, and said,
[2] “As God lives, who has taken away my right, the Almighty, who has made my soul bitter
[3] (for the length of my life is still in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils);
[4] surely my lips will not speak unrighteousness, neither will my tongue utter deceit.
[5] Far be it from me that I should justify you. Until I die I will not put away my integrity from me.
[6] I hold fast to my righteousness, and will not let it go. My heart will not reproach me so long as I live.
[7] “Let my enemy be as the wicked. Let him who rises up against me be as the unrighteous.
[8] For what is the hope of the godless, when he is cut off, when God takes away his life?
[9] Will God hear his cry when trouble comes on him?
[10] Will he delight himself in the Almighty, and call on God at all times?
[11] I will teach you about the hand of God. I will not conceal that which is with the Almighty.
[12] Behold, all of you have seen it yourselves; why then have you become altogether vain?
[13] “This is the portion of a wicked man with God, the heritage of oppressors, which they receive from the Almighty.
[14] If his children are multiplied, it is for the sword. His offspring will not be satisfied with bread.
[15] Those who remain of him will be buried in death. His widows will make no lamentation.
[16] Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare clothing as the clay;
[17] he may prepare it, but the just will put it on, and the innocent will divide the silver.
[18] He builds his house as the moth, as a booth which the watchman makes.
[19] He lies down rich, but he will not do so again. He opens his eyes, and he is not.
[20] Terrors overtake him like waters. A storm steals him away in the night.
[21] The east wind carries him away, and he departs. It sweeps him out of his place.
[22] For it hurls at him, and does not spare, as he flees away from his hand.
[23] Men will clap their hands at him, and will hiss him out of his place.

Job 27 (BYZ)

[1] ετι δε προσθεις ιωβ ειπεν τω προοιμιω
[2] ζη κυριος ος ουτω με κεκρικεν και ο παντοκρατωρ ο πικρανας μου την ψυχην
[3] η μην ετι της πνοης μου ενουσης πνευμα δε θειον το περιον μοι εν ρισιν
[4] μη λαλησειν τα χειλη μου ανομα ουδε η ψυχη μου μελετησει αδικα
[5] μη μοι ειη δικαιους υμας αποφηναι εως αν αποθανω ου γαρ απαλλαξω μου την ακακιαν
[6] δικαιοσυνη δε προσεχων ου μη προωμαι ου γαρ συνοιδα εμαυτω ατοπα πραξας
[7] ου μην δε αλλα ειησαν οι εχθροι μου ωσπερ η καταστροφη των ασεβων και οι επ εμε επανιστανομενοι ωσπερ η απωλεια των παρανομων
[8] και τις γαρ εστιν ελπις ασεβει οτι επεχει πεποιθως επι κυριον αρα σωθησεται
[9] η την δεησιν αυτου εισακουσεται κυριος η επελθουσης αυτω αναγκης
[10] μη εχει τινα παρρησιαν εναντι αυτου η ως επικαλεσαμενου αυτου εισακουσεται αυτου
[11] αλλα δη αναγγελω υμιν τι εστιν εν χειρι κυριου α εστιν παρα παντοκρατορι ου ψευσομαι
[12] ιδου δη παντες οιδατε οτι κενα κενοις επιβαλλετε
[13] αυτη η μερις ανθρωπου ασεβους παρα κυριου κτημα δε δυναστων ελευσεται παρα παντοκρατορος επ αυτους
[14] εαν δε πολλοι γενωνται οι υιοι αυτου εις σφαγην εσονται εαν δε και ανδρωθωσιν προσαιτησουσιν
[15] οι δε περιοντες αυτου εν θανατω τελευτησουσιν χηρας δε αυτων ουθεις ελεησει
[16] εαν συναγαγη ωσπερ γην αργυριον ισα δε πηλω ετοιμαση χρυσιον
[17] ταυτα παντα δικαιοι περιποιησονται τα δε χρηματα αυτου αληθινοι καθεξουσιν
[18] απεβη δε ο οικος αυτου ωσπερ σητες και ωσπερ αραχνη
[19] πλουσιος κοιμηθεις και ου προσθησει οφθαλμους αυτου διηνοιξεν και ουκ εστιν
[20] συνηντησαν αυτω ωσπερ υδωρ αι οδυναι νυκτι δε υφειλατο αυτον γνοφος
[21] αναλημψεται αυτον καυσων και απελευσεται και λικμησει αυτον εκ του τοπου αυτου
[22] και επιρριψει επ αυτον και ου φεισεται εκ χειρος αυτου φυγη φευξεται
[23] κροτησει επ αυτου χειρας αυτου και συριει αυτον εκ του τοπου αυτου
