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

 |  
- ויען איוב ויאמר׃
 
- עד־אנה תוגיון נפשי ותדכאונני במלים׃
 
- זה עשר פעמים תכלימוני לא־תבשו תהכרו־לי׃
 
- ואף־אמנם שגיתי אתי תלין משוגתי׃
 
- אם־אמנם עלי תגדילו ותוכיחו עלי חרפתי׃
 
- דעו־אפו כי־אלוה עותני ומצודו עלי הקיף׃
 
- הן אצעק חמס ולא אענה אשוע ואין משפט׃
 
- ארחי גדר ולא אעבור ועל נתיבותי חשך ישים׃
 
- כבודי מעלי הפשיט ויסר עטרת ראשי׃
 
- יתצני סביב ואלך ויסע כעץ תקותי׃
 
- ויחר עלי אפו ויחשבני לו כצריו׃
 
- יחד יבאו גדודיו ויסלו עלי דרכם ויחנו סביב לאהלי׃
 
- אחי מעלי הרחיק וידעי אך־זרו ממני׃
 
- חדלו קרובי ומידעי שכחוני׃
 
- גרי ביתי ואמהתי לזר תחשבני נכרי הייתי בעיניהם׃
 
- לעבדי קראתי ולא יענה במו־פי אתחןן־לו׃
 
- רוחי זרה לאשתי וחנתי לבני בטני׃
 
- גם־עוילים מאסו בי אקומה וידברו־בי׃
 
- תעבוני כל־מתי סודי וזה־אהבתי נהפכו־בי׃
 
- בעורי ובבשרי דבקה עצמי ואתמלטה בעור שני׃
 
- חנני חנני אתם רעי כי יד־אלוה נגעה בי׃
 
- למה תרדפני כמו־אל ומבשרי לא תשבעו׃
 
- מי־יתן אפו ויכתבון מלי מי־יתן בספר ויחקו׃
 
- בעט־ברזל ועפרת לעד בצור יחצבון׃
 
- ואני ידעתי גאלי חי ואחרון על־עפר יקום׃
 
- ואחר עורי נקפו־זאת ומבשרי אחזה אלוה׃
 
- אשר אני אחזה־לי ועיני ראו ולא־זר כלו כליתי בחקי׃
 
- כי תאמרו מה־נרדף־לו ושרש דבר נמצא־בי׃
 
- גורו לכם מפני־חרב כי־חמה עונות חרב למען תדעון  ׃ ס

| Job 19 Text (Latin)
 |  
- Respondens autem Job, dixit :
 
- Usquequo affligitis animam meam, et atteritis me sermonibus ?
 
- En decies confunditis me, et non erubescitis opprimentes me.
 
- Nempe, et si ignoravi, mecum erit ignorantia mea.
 
- At vos contra me erigimini, et arguitis me opprobriis meis.
 
- Saltem nunc intelligite quia Deus non æquo judicio afflixerit me, et flagellis suis me cinxerit.
 
- Ecce clamabo, vim patiens, et nemo audiet : vociferabor, et non est qui judicet.
 
- Semitam meam circumsepsit, et transire non possum : et in calle meo tenebras posuit.
 
- Spoliavit me gloria mea, et abstulit coronam de capite meo.
 
- Destruxit me undique, et pereo : et quasi evulsæ arbori abstulit spem meam.
 
- Iratus est contra me furor ejus, et sic me habuit quasi hostem suum.
 
- Simul venerunt latrones ejus, et fecerunt sibi viam per me, et obsederunt in gyro tabernaculum meum.
 
- Fratres meos longe fecit a me, et noti mei quasi alieni recesserunt a me.
 
- Dereliquerunt me propinqui mei, et qui me noverant obliti sunt mei.
 
- Inquilini domus meæ et ancillæ meæ sicut alienum habuerunt me, et quasi peregrinus fui in oculis eorum.
 
- Servum meum vocavi, et non respondit : ore proprio deprecabar illum.
 
- Halitum meum exhorruit uxor mea, et orabam filios uteri mei.
 
- Stulti quoque despiciebant me : et cum ab eis recessissem, detrahebant mihi.
 
- Abominati sunt me quondam consiliarii mei, et quem maxime diligebam, aversatus est me.
 
- Pelli meæ, consumptis carnibus, adhæsit os meum, et derelicta sunt tantummodo labia circa dentes meos.
 
- Miseremini mei, miseremini mei, saltem vos, amici mei, quia manus Domini tetigit me.
 
- Quare persequimini me sicut Deus, et carnibus meis saturamini ?
 
- Quis mihi tribuat ut scribantur sermones mei ? quis mihi det ut exarentur in libro,
 
- stylo ferreo et plumbi lamina, vel celte sculpantur in silice ?
 
- Scio enim quod redemptor meus vivit, et in novissimo die de terra surrecturus sum :
 
- et rursum circumdabor pelle mea, et in carne mea videbo Deum meum.
 
- Quem visurus sum ego ipse, et oculi mei conspecturi sunt, et non alius : reposita est hæc spes mea in sinu meo.
 
- Quare ergo nunc dicitis : Persequamur eum, et radicem verbi inveniamus contra eum ?
 
- Fugite ergo a facie gladii, quoniam ultor iniquitatum gladius est : et scitote esse judicium.

| Job 19 Text (KJV)
 |  
- Then Job answered and said,
 
- How long will ye vex my soul, and break me in pieces with words?
 
- These ten times have ye reproached me: ye are not ashamed that ye make yourselves strange to me.
 
- And be it indeed that I have erred, mine error remaineth with myself.
 
- If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, and plead against me my reproach:
 
- Know now that God hath overthrown me, and hath compassed me with his net.
 
- Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloud, but there is no judgment.
 
- He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set darkness in my paths.
 
- He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head.
 
- He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am gone: and mine hope hath he removed like a tree.
 
- He hath also kindled his wrath against me, and he counteth me unto him as one of his enemies.
 
- His troops come together, and raise up their way against me, and encamp round about my tabernacle.
 
- He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are verily estranged from me.
 
- My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me.
 
- They that dwell in mine house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight.
 
- I called my servant, and he gave me no answer; I intreated him with my mouth.
 
- My breath is strange to my wife, though I intreated for the children's sake of mine own body.
 
- Yea, young children despised me; I arose, and they spake against me.
 
- All my inward friends abhorred me: and they whom I loved are turned against me.
 
- My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth.
 
- Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me.
 
- Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?
 
- Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book!
 
- That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock for ever!
 
- For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:
 
- And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:
 
- Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.
 
- But ye should say, Why persecute we him, seeing the root of the matter is found in me?
 
- Be ye afraid of the sword: for wrath bringeth the punishments of the sword, that ye may know there is a judgment.
