18:17. Let the memory of him perish from the earth, and let not his name
be renowned in the streets.
18:18. He shall drive him out of light into darkness, and shall remove
him out of the world.
18:19. His seed shall not subsist, nor his offspring among his people,
nor any remnants in his country.
18:20. They that come after him shall be astonished at his day, and
horror shall fall upon them that went before.
18:21. These then are the tabernacles of the wicked, and this the place
of him that knoweth not God.
Job Chapter 19
Job complains of the cruelty of his friends; he describes his own
sufferings: and his belief of a future resurrection.
19:1. Then Job answered, and said:
19:2. How long do you afflict my soul, and break me in pieces with
words?
19:3. Behold, these ten times you confound me, and are not ashamed to
oppress me.
19:4. For if I have been ignorant, my ignorance shall be with me.
19:5. But you set yourselves up against me, and reprove me with my
reproaches.
19:6. At least now understand, that God hath not afflicted me with an
equal judgment, and compassed me with his scourges.
With an equal judgment... St. Gregory explains these words thus: Job
being a just man, and truly considering his own life, thought that his
affliction was greater than his sins deserved: and in that respect, that
the punishment was not equal, yet it was just, as coming from God, who
gives a crown of justice to those who suffer for righteousness' sake,
and proves the just with tribulations, as gold is tried by fire.
19:7. Behold I shall cry suffering violence, and no one will hear: I
shall cry aloud, and there is none to judge.
19:8. He hath hedged in my path round about, and I cannot pass, and in
my way he hath set darkness.
19:9. He hath stripped me of my glory, and hath taken the crown from my
head.
19:10. 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.
19:11. His wrath is kindled against me, and he hath counted me as his
enemy.
19:12. His troops have come together, and have made themselves a way by
me, and have besieged my tabernacle round about.
19:13. He hath put my brethren far from me, and my acquaintance like
strangers have departed from me.
19:14. My kinsmen have forsaken me, and they that knew me, have
forgotten me.
19:15. They that dwell in my house, and my maidservants have counted me
as a stranger, and I have been like an alien in their eyes.
19:16. I called my servant, and he gave me no answer, I entreated him
with my own mouth.
19:17. My wife hath abhorred my breath, and I entreated the children of
my womb.
19:18. Even fools despised me, and when I was gone from them, they spoke
against me.
19:19. They that were sometime my counsellors, have abhorred me: and he
whom I loved most is turned against me.
