ΙΩΒ - Giobbe - Job 12

LXX	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 υπολαβων δε ιωβ λεγει	1 And Job answered and said,
2 ειτα υμεις εστε ανθρωποι η μεθ' υμων τελευτησει σοφια	2 No doubt but ye are the people, and wisdom shall die with you.
3 καμοι μεν καρδια καθ' υμας εστιν	3 But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you: yea, who knoweth not such things as these?
4 δικαιος γαρ ανηρ και αμεμπτος εγενηθη εις χλευασμα	4 I am as one mocked of his neighbour, who calleth upon God, and he answereth him: the just upright man is laughed to scorn.
5 εις χρονον γαρ τακτον ητοιμαστο πεσειν υπο αλλους οικους τε αυτου εκπορθεισθαι υπο ανομων	5 He that is ready to slip with his feet is as a lamp despised in the thought of him that is at ease.
6 ου μην δε αλλα μηδεις πεποιθετω πονηρος ων αθωος εσεσθαι οσοι παροργιζουσιν τον κυριον ως ουχι και ετασις αυτων εσται	6 The tabernacles of robbers prosper, and they that provoke God are secure; into whose hand God bringeth abundantly.
7 αλλα δη επερωτησον τετραποδα εαν σοι ειπωσιν πετεινα δε ουρανου εαν σοι απαγγειλωσιν	7 But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee:
8 εκδιηγησαι δε γη εαν σοι φραση και εξηγησονται σοι οι ιχθυες της θαλασσης	8 Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee.
9 τις ουκ εγνω εν πασι τουτοις οτι χειρ κυριου εποιησεν ταυτα	9 Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the LORD hath wrought this?
10 ει μη εν χειρι αυτου ψυχη παντων των ζωντων και πνευμα παντος ανθρωπου	10 In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind.
11 ους μεν γαρ ρηματα διακρινει λαρυγξ δε σιτα γευεται	11 Doth not the ear try words? and the mouth taste his meat?
12 εν πολλω χρονω σοφια εν δε πολλω βιω επιστημη	12 With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding.
13 παρ' αυτω σοφια και δυναμις αυτω βουλη και συνεσις	13 With him is wisdom and strength, he hath counsel and understanding.
14 εαν καταβαλη τις οικοδομησει εαν κλειση κατα ανθρωπων τις ανοιξει	14 Behold, he breaketh down, and it cannot be built again: he shutteth up a man, and there can be no opening.
15 εαν κωλυση το ωδωρ ξηρανει την γην εαν δε επαφη απωλεσεν αυτην καταστρεψας	15 Behold, he withholdeth the waters, and they dry up: also he sendeth them out, and they overturn the earth.
16 παρ' αυτω κρατος και ισχυς αυτω επιστημη και συνεσις	16 With him is strength and wisdom: the deceived and the deceiver are his.
17 διαγων βουλευτας αιχμαλωτους κριτας δε γης εξεστησεν	17 He leadeth counsellers away spoiled, and maketh the judges fools.
18 καθιζανων βασιλεις επι θρονους και περιεδησεν ζωνη οσφυας αυτων	18 He looseth the bond of kings, and girdeth their loins with a girdle.
19 εξαποστελλων ιερεις αιχμαλωτους δυναστας δε γης κατεστρεψεν	19 He leadeth princes away spoiled, and overthroweth the mighty.
20 διαλλασσων χειλη πιστων συνεσιν δε πρεσβυτερων εγνω	20 He removeth away the speech of the trusty, and taketh away the understanding of the aged.
21 εκχεων ατιμιαν επ' αρχοντας ταπεινους δε ιασατο	21 He poureth contempt upon princes, and weakeneth the strength of the mighty.
22 ανακαλυπτων βαθεα εκ σκοτους εξηγαγεν δε εις φως σκιαν θανατου	22 He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth out to light the shadow of death.
23 πλανων εθνη και απολλυων αυτα καταστρωννυων εθνη και καθοδηγων αυτα	23 He increaseth the nations, and destroyeth them: he enlargeth the nations, and straiteneth them again.
24 διαλλασσων καρδιας αρχοντων γης επλανησεν δε αυτους οδω η ουκ ηδεισαν	24 He taketh away the heart of the chief of the people of the earth, and causeth them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way.
25 ψηλαφησαισαν σκοτος και μη φως πλανηθειησαν δε ωσπερ ο μεθυων	25 They grope in the dark without light, and he maketh them to stagger like a drunken man.
