1 ἰδοὺ ταῦτα ἑώρακέν μου ὁ ὀφθαλμὸς καὶ ἀκήκοέν μου τὸ οὖς 2 καὶ οἶδα ὅσα καὶ ὑμεῖς ἐπίστασθε καὶ οὐκ ἀσυνετώτερός εἰμι ὑμῶν 3 οὐ μὴν δὲ ἀλλ' ἐγὼ πρὸς κύριον λαλήσω ἐλέγξω δὲ ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ ἐὰν βούληται 4 ὑμεῖς δέ ἐστε ἰατροὶ ἄδικοι καὶ ἰαταὶ κακῶν πάντες 5 εἴη δὲ ὑμῖν κωφεῦσαι καὶ ἀποβήσεται ὑμῖν εἰς σοφίαν 6 ἀκούσατε ἔλεγχον στόματός μου κρίσιν δὲ χειλέων μου προσέχετε 7 πότερον οὐκ ἔναντι κυρίου λαλεῖτε ἔναντι δὲ αὐτοῦ φθέγγεσθε δόλον 8 ἦ ὑποστελεῖσθε ὑμεῖς δὲ αὐτοὶ κριταὶ γένεσθε 9 καλόν γε ἐὰν ἐξιχνιάσῃ ὑμᾶς εἰ γὰρ τὰ πάντα ποιοῦντες προστεθήσεσθε αὐτῷ 10 οὐθὲν ἧττον ἐλέγξει ὑμᾶς εἰ δὲ καὶ κρυφῇ πρόσωπα θαυμάσετε 11 πότερον οὐχὶ δεινὰ αὐτοῦ στροβήσει ὑμᾶς φόβος δὲ παρ' αὐτοῦ ἐπιπεσεῖται ὑμῖν 12 ἀποβήσεται δὲ ὑμῶν τὸ ἀγαυρίαμα ἴσα σποδῷ τὸ δὲ σῶμα πήλινον 13 κωφεύσατε ἵνα λαλήσω καὶ ἀναπαύσωμαι θυμοῦ 14 ἀναλαβὼν τὰς σάρκας μου τοῖς ὀδοῦσιν ψυχὴν δέ μου θήσω ἐν χειρί 15 ἐάν με χειρώσηται ὁ δυνάστης ἐπεὶ καὶ ἦρκται ἦ μὴν λαλήσω καὶ ἐλέγξω ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ 16 καὶ τοῦτό μοι ἀποβήσεται εἰς σωτηρίαν οὐ γὰρ ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ δόλος εἰσελεύσεται 17 ἀκούσατε ἀκούσατε τὰ ῥήματά μου ἀναγγελῶ γὰρ ὑμῶν ἀκουόντων 18 ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐγγύς εἰμι τοῦ κρίματός μου οἶδα ἐγὼ ὅτι δίκαιος ἀναφανοῦμαι 19 τίς γάρ ἐστιν ὁ κριθησόμενός μοι ὅτι νῦν κωφεύσω καὶ ἐκλείψω 20 δυεῖν δέ μοι χρήσῃ τότε ἀπὸ τοῦ προσώπου σου οὐ κρυβήσομαι 21 τὴν χεῖρα ἀπ' ἐμοῦ ἀπέχου καὶ ὁ φόβος σου μή με καταπλησσέτω 22 εἶτα καλέσεις ἐγὼ δέ σοι ὑπακούσομαι ἢ λαλήσεις ἐγὼ δέ σοι δώσω ἀνταπόκρισιν 23 πόσαι εἰσὶν αἱ ἁμαρτίαι μου καὶ αἱ ἀνομίαι μου δίδαξόν με τίνες εἰσίν 24 διὰ τί ἀπ' ἐμοῦ κρύπτῃ ἥγησαι δέ με ὑπεναντίον σοι 25 ἦ ὡς φύλλον κινούμενον ὑπὸ ἀνέμου εὐλαβηθήσῃ ἢ ὡς χόρτῳ φερομένῳ ὑπὸ πνεύματος ἀντίκεισαί μοι 26 ὅτι κατέγραψας κατ' ἐμοῦ κακά περιέθηκας δέ μοι νεότητος ἁμαρτίας 27 ἔθου δέ μου τὸν πόδα ἐν κωλύματι ἐφύλαξας δέ μου πάντα τὰ ἔργα εἰς δὲ ῥίζας τῶν ποδῶν μου ἀφίκου 28 ὃ παλαιοῦται ἴσα ἀσκῷ ἢ ὥσπερ ἱμάτιον σητόβρωτον

ehold my eye has seen all these things, and my ear has heard them, and I have understood them all. 2 According to your knowledge I also know: neither am I inferior to you. 3 But yet I will speak to the Almighty, and I desire to reason with God. 4 Having first shown that you are forgers of lies, and maintainers of perverse opinions. 5 And I wish you would hold your peace, that you might be thought to be wise men. 6 Hear therefore my reproof, and attend to the judgment of my lips. 7 Has God any need of your lie, that you should speak deceitfully for him? 8 Do you accept this person, and do you endeavour to judge for God? 9 Or shall it please him, from whom nothing can be concealed? Or shall he be deceived as a man, with your deceitful dealings? 10 He shall reprove you, because in secret you accept his person. 11 As soon as he shall move himself, he shall trouble you: and his dread shall fall upon you. 12 Your remembrance shall be compared to ashes, and your necks shall be brought to clay. 13 Hold your peace a little while, that I may speak whatsoever my mind shall suggest to me. 14 Why do I tear my flesh with my teeth, and carry my soul in my hands? 15 Although he should kill me, I will trust in him: but yet I will reprove my ways in his sight. 16 And he shall be my saviour: for no hypocrite shall come before his presence. 17 Hear my speech, and receive with your ears hidden truths. 18 If I shall be judged, I know that I shall be found just. 19 Who is he that will plead against me? Let him come: why am I consumed holding my peace? 20 Two things only do not to me, and then from your face I shall not be hid: 21 Withdraw your hand far from me, and let not your dread terrify me. 22 Call me, and I will answer you: or else I will speak, and you answer me. 23 How many are my iniquities and sins? make me know my crimes and offenses. 24 Why do you hide your face, and think me your enemy? 25 Against a leaf, that is carried away with the wind, you show your power, and you pursue a dry straw. 26 For you write bitter things against me, and will consume me for the sins of my youth. 27 You have put my feet in the stocks, and have observed all my paths, and have considered the steps of my feet: 28 Who am to be consumed as rottenness, and as a garment that is motheaten.

1 Ecce omnia hæc vidit oculus meus, et audivit auris mea, et intellexi singula. 2 Secundum scientiam vestram et ego novi : nec inferior vestri sum. 3 Sed tamen ad Omnipotentem loquar, et disputare cum Deo cupio : 4 prius vos ostendens fabricatores mendacii, et cultores perversorum dogmatum. 5 Atque utinam taceretis, ut putaremini esse sapientes. 6 Audite ergo correptionem meam, et judicium labiorum meorum attendite. 7 Numquid Deus indiget vestro mendacio, ut pro illo loquamini dolos? 8 numquid faciem ejus accipitis, et pro Deo judicare nitimini? 9 aut placebit ei quem celare nihil potest? aut decipietur, ut homo, vestris fraudulentiis? 10 Ipse vos arguet, quoniam in abscondito faciem ejus accipitis. 11 Statim ut se commoverit, turbabit vos, et terror ejus irruet super vos. 12 Memoria vestra comparabitur cineri, et redigentur in lutum cervices vestræ. 13 Tacete paulisper, ut loquar quodcumque mihi mens suggesserit. 14 Quare lacero carnes meas dentibus meis, et animam meam porto in manibus meis? 15 Etiam si occiderit me, in ipso sperabo : verumtamen vias meas in conspectu ejus arguam. 16 Et ipse erit salvator meus : non enim veniet in conspectu ejus omnis hypocrita. 17 Audite sermonem meum, et ænigmata percipite auribus vestris. 18 Si fuero judicatus, scio quod justus inveniar. 19 Quis est qui judicetur mecum? veniat : quare tacens consumor? 20 Duo tantum ne facias mihi, et tunc a facie tua non abscondar : 21 manum tuam longe fac a me, et formido tua non me terreat. 22 Voca me, et ego respondebo tibi : aut certe loquar, et tu responde mihi. 23 Quantas habeo iniquitates et peccata? scelera mea et delicta ostende mihi. 24 Cur faciem tuam abscondis, et arbitraris me inimicum tuum? 25 Contra folium, quod vento rapitur, ostendis potentiam tuam, et stipulam siccam persequeris : 26 scribis enim contra me amaritudines, et consumere me vis peccatis adolescentiæ meæ. 27 Posuisti in nervo pedem meum, et observasti omnes semitas meas, et vestigia pedum meorum considerasti : 28 qui quasi putredo consumendus sum, et quasi vestimentum quod comeditur a tinea.
