| 1 Then Job responded, | 1 Then Job answered and said, | 1 Then Job answered and said, | 1 Then Job answered , and said: | 1 And Job answereth and saith: -- | 2 "How long will you torment me And crush me with words? | 2 How long will ye vex my soul, and break me in pieces with words? | 2 How long will ye vex my soul, And break me in pieces with words? | 2 How long do you afflict my soul, and break me in pieces with words? | 2 Till when do ye afflict my soul, And bruise me with words? | 3 "These ten times you have insulted me; You are not ashamed to wrong me. | 3 These ten times have ye reproached me: ye are not ashamed that ye make yourselves strange to me. | 3 These ten times have ye reproached me: Ye are not ashamed that ye deal hardly with me. | 3 Behold, these ten times you confound me, and are not ashamed to oppress me. | 3 These ten times ye put me to shame, ye blush not. Ye make yourselves strange to me -- | 4 "Even if I have truly erred, My error lodges with me. | 4 And be it indeed that I have erred, mine error remaineth with myself. | 4 And be it indeed that I have erred, Mine error remaineth with myself. | 4 For if I have been ignorant, my ignorance shall be with me. | 4 And also -- truly, I have erred, With me doth my error remain. | 5 "If indeed you vaunt yourselves against me And prove my disgrace to me, | 5 If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, and plead against me my reproach: | 5 If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, And plead against me my reproach; | 5 But you have set yourselves up against me, and reprove me with my reproaches. | 5 If, truly, over me ye magnify yourselves, And decide against me my reproach; | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 6 Know then that God has wronged me And has closed His net around me. | 6 Know now that God hath overthrown me, and hath compassed me with his net. | 6 Know now that God hath subverted me in my cause , And hath compassed me with his net. | 6 At least now understand, that God hath not afflicted me with an equal judgment, and compassed me with his scourges. | 6 Know now, that God turned me upside down, And His net against me hath set round, | Everything Is against Him |
| 7 "Behold, I cry, 'Violence!' but I get no answer; I shout for help, but there is no justice. | 7 Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloud, but there is no judgment. | 7 Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry for help, but there is no justice. | 7 Behold I cry suffering violence, and no one will hear: I shall cry aloud, and there is none to judge. | 7 Lo, I cry out -- violence, and am not answered, I cry aloud, and there is no judgment. | 8 "He has walled up my way so that I cannot pass, And He has put darkness on my paths. | 8 He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set darkness in my paths. | 8 He hath walled up my way that I cannot pass, And hath set darkness in my paths. | 8 He hath hedged in my path round about, and I cannot pass, and in my way he hath set darkness. | 8 My way He hedged up, and I pass not over, And on my paths darkness He placeth. | 9 "He has stripped my honor from me And removed the crown from my head. | 9 He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head. | 9 He hath stripped me of my glory, And taken the crown from my head. | 9 He hath stripped me of my glory, and hath taken the crown from my head. | 9 Mine honour from off me He hath stripped, And He turneth the crown from my head. | 10 "He breaks me down on every side, and I am gone; And He has uprooted my hope like a tree. | 10 He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am gone: and mine hope hath he removed like a tree. | 10 He hath broken me down on every side, and I am gone; And my hope hath he plucked up like a tree. | 10 He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am lost, and he hath taken away my hope, as from a tree that is plucked up. | 10 He breaketh me down round about, and I go, And removeth like a tree my hope. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 11 "He has also kindled His anger against me And considered me as His enemy. | 11 He hath also kindled his wrath against me, and he counteth me unto him as one of his enemies. | 11 He hath also kindled his wrath against me, And he counteth me unto him as one of his adversaries. | 11 His wrath is kindled against me, and he hath counted me as his enemy. | 11 And He kindleth against me His anger, And reckoneth me to Him as His adversaries. | 12 "His troops come together, And build up their way against me And camp around my tent. | 12 His troops come together, and raise up their way against me, and encamp round about my tabernacle. | 12 His troops come on together, And cast up their way against me, And encamp round about my tent. | 12 His troops have come together, and have made themselves a way by me, and have besieged my tabernacle round about. | 12 Come in do His troops together, And they raise up against me their way, And encamp round about my tent. | 13 "He has removed my brothers far from me, And my acquaintances are completely estranged from me. | 13 He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are verily estranged from me. | 13 He hath put my brethren far from me, And mine acquaintance are wholly estranged from me. | 13 He hath put my brethren far from me, and my acquaintance like strangers have departed from me. | 13 My brethren from me He hath put far off, And mine acquaintances surely Have been estranged from me. | 14 "My relatives have failed, And my intimate friends have forgotten me. | 14 My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me. | 14 My kinsfolk have failed, And my familiar friends have forgotten me. | 14 My kinsmen have forsaken me, and they that knew me, have forgotten me. | 14 Ceased have my neighbours And my familiar friends have forgotten me, | 15 "Those who live in my house and my maids consider me a stranger. I am a foreigner in their sight. | 15 They that dwell in mine house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight. | 15 They that dwell in my house, and my maids, count me for a stranger; I am an alien in their sight. | 15 They that dwelt in my house, and my maidservants have counted me a stranger, and I have been like an alien in their eyes. | 15 Sojourners of my house and my maids, For a stranger reckon me: An alien I have been in their eyes. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 16 "I call to my servant, but he does not answer; I have to implore him with my mouth. | 16 I called my servant, and he gave me no answer; I intreated him with my mouth. | 16 I call unto my servant, and he giveth me no answer, Though I entreat him with my mouth. | 16 I called my servant, and he gave me no answer, I entreated him with my own mouth. | 16 To my servant I have called, And he doth not answer, With my mouth I make supplication to him. | 17 "My breath is offensive to my wife, And I am loathsome to my own brothers. | 17 My breath is strange to my wife, though I intreated for the children's sake of mine own body. | 17 My breath is strange to my wife, And my supplication to the children of mine own mother. | 17 My wife hath abhorred my breath, and I entreated the children of my womb. | 17 My spirit is strange to my wife, And my favours to the sons of my mother's womb. | 18 "Even young children despise me; I rise up and they speak against me. | 18 Yea, young children despised me; I arose, and they spake against me. | 18 Even young children despise me; If I arise, they speak against me. | 18 Even fools despise me; and when I gone from them, they spoke against me. | 18 Also sucklings have despised me, I rise, and they speak against me. | 19 "All my associates abhor me, And those I love have turned against me. | 19 All my inward friends abhorred me: and they whom I loved are turned against me. | 19 All my familiar friends abhor me, And they whom I loved are turned against me. | 19 They that were sometime my counsellors, have abhorred me: and he whom I love most is turned against me. | 19 Abominate me do all the men of my counsel, And those I have loved, Have been turned against me. | 20 "My bone clings to my skin and my flesh, And I have escaped only by the skin of my teeth. | 20 My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth. | 20 My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, And I am escaped with the skin of my teeth. | 20 The flesh being consumed. My bone hath cleaved to my skin, and nothing but lips are left about my teeth. | 20 To my skin and to my flesh Cleaved hath my bone, And I deliver myself with the skin of my teeth. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 21 "Pity me, pity me, O you my friends, For the hand of God has struck me. | 21 Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me. | 21 Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; For the hand of God hath touched me. | 21 Have pity on me, have pity on me, at least you my friends, because the hand of the Lord hath touched me. | 21 Pity me, pity me, ye my friends, For the hand of God hath stricken against me. | 22 "Why do you persecute me as God does, And are not satisfied with my flesh? | 22 Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh? | 22 Why do ye persecute me as God, And are not satisfied with my flesh? | 22 Why do you persecute me as God, and glut yourselves with my flesh? | 22 Why do you pursue me as God? And with my flesh are not satisfied? | Job Says, “My Redeemer Lives” |
| 23 "Oh that my words were written! Oh that they were inscribed in a book! | 23 Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book! | 23 Oh that my words were now written! Oh that they were inscribed in a book! | 23 Who will grant me that my words may be written? Who will grant me that they may be marked down in a book? | 23 Who doth grant now, That my words may be written? Who doth grant that in a book they may be graven? | 24 "That with an iron stylus and lead They were engraved in the rock forever! | 24 That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock for ever! | 24 That with an iron pen and lead They were graven in the rock for ever! | 24 With an iron pen and in a plate of lead, or else be graven with an instrument in flint stone. | 24 With a pen of iron and lead -- For ever in a rock they may be hewn. | 25 "As for me, I know that my Redeemer lives, And at the last He will take His stand on the earth. | 25 For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: | 25 But as for me I know that my Redeemer liveth, And at last he will stand up upon the earth: | 25 For I know that my Redeemer liveth, and in the last day I shall rise out of the earth. | 25 That -- I have known my Redeemer, The Living and the Last, For the dust he doth rise. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 26 "Even after my skin is destroyed, Yet from my flesh I shall see God; | 26 And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: | 26 And after my skin, even this body , is destroyed, Then without my flesh shall I see God; | 26 And I shall be clothed again with my skin, and in my flesh I will see my God. | 26 And after my skin hath compassed this body, Then from my flesh I see God: | 27 Whom I myself shall behold, And whom my eyes will see and not another. My heart faints within me! | 27 Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me. | 27 Whom I, even I, shall see, on my side, And mine eyes shall behold, and not as a stranger. My heart is consumed within me. | 27 Whom I myself shall see, and my eyes shall behold, and not another: this my hope is laid up in my bosom. | 27 Whom I -- I see on my side, And mine eyes have beheld, and not a stranger, Consumed have been my reins in my bosom. | 28 "If you say, 'How shall we persecute him?' And 'What pretext for a case against him can we find?' | 28 But ye should say, Why persecute we him, seeing the root of the matter is found in me? | 28 If ye say, How we will persecute him! And that the root of the matter is found in me; | 28 Why then do you say now: Let us persecute him, and let us find occasion of word against him? | 28 But ye say, 'Why do we pursue after him?' And the root of the matter hath been found in me. | 29 "Then be afraid of the sword for yourselves, For wrath brings the punishment of the sword, So that you may know there is judgment." | 29 Be ye afraid of the sword: for wrath bringeth the punishments of the sword, that ye may know there is a judgment. | 29 Be ye afraid of the sword: For wrath bringeth the punishments of the sword, That ye may know there is a judgment. | 29 Flee then from the face of the sword, for the sword is the revenger of iniquities: and know ye that there is judgment. | 29 Be ye afraid because of the sword, For furious are the punishments of the sword, That ye may know that there is a judgment. |
