Coptic: αfνουcσ δε εματε επεfκεsομντ νsβηρ. jε μπουεscμcομ εουεhμ πsαjε εfναtουβε ιωβ. αυω αfκααf jε ουασεβησ πε.
English: And he was also very angry with his three friends, because they were not able to return answers to Job, yet set him down for an ungodly man.
Coptic: α ελιουσ δε cω εfουωsβ ουβε ιωβ.
English: But Elius had forborne to give an answer to Job, because they were older than he.
Coptic: α ελιουσ δε ουωsβ. πsηρε νβαραχιηλ. πσωβιτησ πεjαf. ζ jε ανοκ μεν ανγ ουκουι hμ πευοειs. ντωτν δε ντετν hενhλλο ετβε παι αικαρωι αιρhοτε εjωτν ντασωβε.
English: And Elius the Buzite the son of Barachiel answered and said,  I am younger in age, and ye are elder, wherefore I kept silence, fearing to declare to you my own knowledge.
Coptic: αιjοοσ jε μπε ουοειs αν πετsαjε νετhν ουμηηsε αν νρομπε αν πε νετσοουν ντσοφια.
English: And I said, It is not time that speaks, though in many years men know wisdom:
Coptic: αλλα ουπνα πετhν νρωμε. τεπνοη δε μππαντωκρατωρ τετtσβω.
English: but there is a spirit in mortals; and the inspiration of the Almighty is that which teaches.
Coptic: ννα νεινοc αν εναhε νε νσοφοσ. ουδε νhλλο αν νετσοουν μπhαπ.
English: The long-lived are not wise as such; neither do the aged know judgment.
Coptic: ετβε παι αιjοοσ jε σωτμ εροι ταjω νητν ννεtσοουν μμοου.
English: Wherefore I said, Hear me, and I will tell you what I know.
Coptic: jισμη εναsαjε tναsαjε γαρ ντετνσωτμ
English: Hearken to my words; for I will speak in your hearing, until ye shall have tried the matter with words:
Coptic: jεκασ ετετναουωh ετοοτ τηυτν εjοοσ jε ανhε ετσοφια μπjοεισ.
English: lest ye should say, We have found that we have added wisdom to the Lord.
Coptic: ατετνκα ρωμε δε εjε hενsαjε νtμινε.
English: And ye have commissioned a man to speak such words.
Coptic: jε tναsαjε ον tμεh γαρ νsαjε. πεπνα γαρ νhητ sτορτρ μμοι.
English: for I am full of words, for the spirit of my belly destroys me.
Coptic: ερε παhητ ο νθε νουασκωσ εfμηh νμρισ ερε ρωf μηρ. η νθε νουhωτ νhαμκελλε εαfπωh.
English: And my belly is as a skin of sweet wine, bound up and ready to burst; or as a brazier’s labouring bellows.
Coptic: tναsαjε jε ειαμτον. αιουων ννασποτου.
English: I will speak, that I may open my lips and relieve myself.
Coptic: νειsιπε αν hητf νρωμε. αλλα ον εινακτοι hι hρsιρε.
English: For truly I will not be awed because of man, nor indeed will I be confounded before a mortal.
Coptic: νtσοουν γαρ αν νjιhο. εsjε σε δε ερε νjοολσ ουομτ.
English: For I know not how to respect persons: and if otherwise, even the moths would eat me.
Coptic: μμον δε αλλα σωτμ εναsαjε. ιωβ jισμη εταcινsαjε.
English: Howbeit hear, Job, my words, and hearken to my speech.
Coptic: εισ hηητε γαρ αιουην νρωι. αυω α παλασ sαjε.
English: For behold, I have opened my mouth, and my tongue has spoken.
Coptic: παhητ ουααβ hν hενcινsαjε ερε τμντρμνhητ ννασποτου νανοειν ννεθββιηυ.
English: My heart shall be found pure by my words; and the understanding of my lips shall meditate purity.

English: If thou canst, give me an answer: wait therefore; stand against me, and I will stand against thee.
