 NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 1 "However now, Job, please hear my speech, And listen to all my words. | 1 Wherefore, Job, I pray thee, hear my speeches, and hearken to all my words. | 1 Howbeit, Job, I pray thee, hear my speech, And hearken to all my words. | 1 Hear therefore, O Job, my speeches, and hearken to all my words. | 1 And yet, I pray thee, O Job, Hear my speech and to all my words give ear. | 2 "Behold now, I open my mouth, My tongue in my mouth speaks. | 2 Behold, now I have opened my mouth, my tongue hath spoken in my mouth. | 2 Behold now, I have opened my mouth; My tongue hath spoken in my mouth. | 2 Behold now I have opened my mouth, let my tongue speak within my jaws. | 2 Lo, I pray thee, I have opened my mouth, My tongue hath spoken in the palate. | 3 "My words are from the uprightness of my heart, And my lips speak knowledge sincerely. | 3 My words shall be of the uprightness of my heart: and my lips shall utter knowledge clearly. | 3 My words'shall utter the uprightness of my heart; And that which my lips know they shall speak sincerely. | 3 My words are from my upright heart, and my lips shall speak a pure sentence. | 3 Of the uprightness of my heart are my sayings, And knowledge have my lips clearly spoken. | 4 "The Spirit of God has made me, And the breath of the Almighty gives me life. | 4 The spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life. | 4 The Spirit of God hath made me, And the breath of the Almighty giveth me life. | 4 The spirit of God made me, and the breath of the Almighty gave me life. | 4 The Spirit of God hath made me, And the breath of the Mighty doth quicken me. | 5 "Refute me if you can; Array yourselves before me, take your stand. | 5 If thou canst answer me, set thy words in order before me, stand up. | 5 If thou canst, answer thou me; Set thy words in order before me, stand forth. | 5 If thou canst, answer me, and stand up against my face. | 5 If thou art able -- answer me, Set in array before me -- station thyself. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 6 "Behold, I belong to God like you; I too have been formed out of the clay. | 6 Behold, I am according to thy wish in God's stead: I also am formed out of the clay. | 6 Behold, I am toward God even as thou art: I also am formed out of the clay. | 6 Behold God hath made me as well as thee, and of the same clay I also was formed. | 6 Lo, I am, according to thy word, for God, From the clay I -- I also, have been formed. | 7 "Behold, no fear of me should terrify you, Nor should my pressure weigh heavily on you. | 7 Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, neither shall my hand be heavy upon thee. | 7 Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, Neither shall my pressure be heavy upon thee. | 7 But yet let not my wonder terrify thee, and let not my eloquence be burdensome to thee. | 7 Lo, my terror doth not frighten thee, And my burden on thee is not heavy. | 8 "Surely you have spoken in my hearing, And I have heard the sound of your words: | 8 Surely thou hast spoken in mine hearing, and I have heard the voice of thy words, saying, | 8 Surely thou hast spoken in my hearing, And I have heard the voice of thy words,'saying , | 8 Now thou has said in my hearing, and I have heard the voice of thy words : | 8 Surely -- thou hast said in mine ears, And the sounds of words I hear: | 9 'I am pure, without transgression; I am innocent and there is no guilt in me. | 9 I am clean without transgression, I am innocent; neither is there iniquity in me. | 9 I am clean, without transgression; I am innocent, neither is there iniquity in me: | 9 I am clean, and without sin : I am unspotted, and there is no iniquity in me. | 9 Pure am I, without transgression, Innocent am I, and I have no iniquity. | 10 'Behold, He invents pretexts against me; He counts me as His enemy. | 10 Behold, he findeth occasions against me, he counteth me for his enemy, | 10 Behold, he findeth occasions against me, He counteth me for his enemy: | 10 Because he hath found complaints against me, therefore he hath counted me for his enemy. | 10 Lo, occasions against me He doth find, He doth reckon me for an enemy to Him, | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 11 'He puts my feet in the stocks; He watches all my paths.' | 11 He putteth my feet in the stocks, he marketh all my paths. | 11 He putteth my feet in the stocks, He marketh all my paths. | 11 He hath put my feet in the stocks, he hath observed all my paths. | 11 He doth put in the stocks my feet, He doth watch all my paths.' | 12 "Behold, let me tell you, you are not right in this, For God is greater than man. | 12 Behold, in this thou art not just: I will answer thee, that God is greater than man. | 12 Behold, I will answer thee, in this thou art not just; For God is greater than man. | 12 Now this is the thing in which thou art not justified : I will answer thee, that God is greater than man. | 12 Lo, in this thou hast not been righteous, I answer thee, that greater is God than man. | 13 "Why do you complain against Him That He does not give an account of all His doings? | 13 Why dost thou strive against him? for he giveth not account of any of his matters. | 13 Why dost thou strive against him, For that he giveth not account of any of his matters? | 13 Dost thou strive against him, because he hath not answered thee to all words? | 13 Wherefore against Him hast thou striven, When for all His matters He answereth not? | 14 "Indeed God speaks once, Or twice, yet no one notices it. | 14 For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not. | 14 For God speaketh once, Yea twice, though man regardeth it not. | 14 God speaketh once, and repeateth not the selfsame thing the second time. | 14 For once doth God speak, and twice, (He doth not behold it.) | 15 "In a dream, a vision of the night, When sound sleep falls on men, While they slumber in their beds, | 15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed; | 15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, When deep sleep falleth upon men, In slumberings upon the bed; | 15 By a dream in a vision by night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, and they are sleeping in their beds : | 15 In a dream -- a vision of night, In the falling of deep sleep on men, In slumberings on a bed. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 16 Then He opens the ears of men, And seals their instruction, | 16 Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction, | 16 Then he openeth the ears of men, And sealeth their instruction, | 16 Then he openeth the ears of men, and teaching instructeth them in what they are to learn. | 16 Then He uncovereth the ear of men, And for their instruction sealeth: | 17 That He may turn man aside from his conduct, And keep man from pride; | 17 That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man. | 17 That he may withdraw man from his purpose, And hide pride from man; | 17 That he may withdraw a man from the things he is doing, and may deliver him from pride. | 17 To turn aside man from doing, And pride from man He concealeth. | 18 He keeps back his soul from the pit, And his life from passing over into Sheol. | 18 He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword. | 18 He keepeth back his soul from the pit, And his life from perishing by the sword. | 18 Rescuing his soul from corruption : and his life from passing to the sword. | 18 He keepeth back his soul from corruption, And his life from passing away by a dart. | 19 "Man is also chastened with pain on his bed, And with unceasing complaint in his bones; | 19 He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong pain: | 19 He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, And with continual strife in his bones; | 19 He rebuketh also by sorrow in the bed, and he maketh all his bones to wither. | 19 And he hath been reproved With pain on his bed, And the strife of his bones is enduring. | 20 So that his life loathes bread, And his soul favorite food. | 20 So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty meat. | 20 So that his life abhorreth bread, And his soul dainty food. | 20 Bread becometh abominable to him in his life, and to his soul the meat which before he desired. | 20 And his life hath nauseated bread, And his soul desirable food. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 21 "His flesh wastes away from sight, And his bones which were not seen stick out. | 21 His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones that were not seen stick out. | 21 His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; And his bones that were not seen stick out. | 21 His flesh shall be consumed away, and his bones that were covered shall be made bare. | 21 His flesh is consumed from being seen, And high are his bones, they were not seen! | 22 "Then his soul draws near to the pit, And his life to those who bring death. | 22 Yea, his soul draweth near unto the grave, and his life to the destroyers. | 22 Yea, his soul draweth near unto the pit, And his life to the destroyers. | 22 His soul hath drawn near to corruption, and his life to the destroyers. | 22 And draw near to the pit doth his soul, And his life to those causing death. | 23 "If there is an angel as mediator for him, One out of a thousand, To remind a man what is right for him, | 23 If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man his uprightness: | 23 If there be with him an angel, An interpreter, one among a thousand, To show unto man what is right for him; | 23 If there shall be an angel speaking for him, one among thousands, to declare man's uprightness, | 23 If there is by him a messenger, An interpreter -- one of a thousand, To declare for man his uprightness: | 24 Then let him be gracious to him, and say, 'Deliver him from going down to the pit, I have found a ransom'; | 24 Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom. | 24 Then God is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit, I have found a ransom. | 24 He shall have mercy on him, and shall say : Deliver him, that he may not go down to corruption : I have found wherein I may be merciful to him. | 24 Then He doth favour him and saith, 'Ransom him from going down to the pit, I have found an atonement.' | 25 Let his flesh become fresher than in youth, Let him return to the days of his youthful vigor; | 25 His flesh shall be fresher than a child's: he shall return to the days of his youth: | 25 His flesh shall be fresher than a child's; He returneth to the days of his youth. | 25 His flesh is consumed with punishment, let him return to the days of his youth. | 25 Fresher is his flesh than a child's, He returneth to the days of his youth. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 26 Then he will pray to God, and He will accept him, That he may see His face with joy, And He may restore His righteousness to man. | 26 He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable unto him: and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render unto man his righteousness. | 26 He prayeth unto God, and he is favorable unto him, So that he seeth his face with joy: And he restoreth unto man his righteousness. | 26 He shall pray to God, and he will be gracious to him : and he shall see his face with joy, and he will render to man his justice. | 26 He maketh supplication unto God, And He accepteth him. And he seeth His face with shouting, And He returneth to man His righteousness. | 27 "He will sing to men and say, 'I have sinned and perverted what is right, And it is not proper for me. | 27 He looketh upon men, and if any say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not; | 27 He singeth before men, and saith, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, And it profited me not: | 27 He shall look upon men, and shall say : I have sinned, and indeed I have offended, and I have not received what I have deserved. | 27 He looketh on men, and saith, 'I sinned, And uprightness I have perverted, And it hath not been profitable to me. | 28 'He has redeemed my soul from going to the pit, And my life shall see the light.' | 28 He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light. | 28 He hath redeemed my soul from going into the pit, And my life shall behold the light. | 28 He hath delivered his soul from going into destruction, that it may live and see the light. | 28 He hath ransomed my soul From going over into the pit, And my life on the light looketh.' | 29 "Behold, God does all these oftentimes with men, | 29 Lo, all these things worketh God oftentimes with man, | 29 Lo, all these things doth God work, Twice, yea thrice, with a man, | 29 Behold, all these things God worketh three times within every one. | 29 Lo, all these doth God work, Twice -- thrice with man, | 30 To bring back his soul from the pit, That he may be enlightened with the light of life. | 30 To bring back his soul from the pit, to be enlightened with the light of the living. | 30 To bring back his soul from the pit, That he may be enlightened with the light of the living. | 30 That he may withdraw their souls from corruption, and enlighten them with the light of the living. | 30 To bring back his soul from the pit, To be enlightened with the light of the living. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 31 "Pay attention, O Job, listen to me; Keep silent, and let me speak. | 31 Mark well, O Job, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I will speak. | 31 Mark well, O Job, hearken unto me: Hold thy peace, and I will speak. | 31 Attend, Job, and hearken to me : and hold thy peace, whilst I speak. | 31 Attend, O Job, hearken to me, Keep silent, and I -- I do speak. | 32 "Then if you have anything to say, answer me; Speak, for I desire to justify you. | 32 If thou hast anything to say, answer me: speak, for I desire to justify thee. | 32 If thou hast anything to say, answer me: Speak, for I desire to justify thee. | 32 But if thou hast any thing to say, answer me, speak : for I would have thee to appear just. | 32 If there are words -- answer me, Speak, for I have a desire to justify thee. | 33 "If not, listen to me; Keep silent, and I will teach you wisdom." | 33 If not, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I shall teach thee wisdom. | 33 If not, hearken thou unto me: Hold thy peace, and I will teach thee wisdom. | 33 And if thou have not, hear me : hold thy peace, and I will teach thee wisdom. | 33 If there are not -- hearken thou to me, Keep silent, and I teach thee wisdom. |
