Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Job continued his discourse:
1Addidit quoque Job, assumens parabolam suam, et dixit:
2“As surely as God lives, who has deprived me of justice— the Almighty, who has embittered my soul—
2[Vivit Deus, qui abstulit judicium meum, et Omnipotens, qui ad amaritudinem adduxit animam meam.
3as long as my breath is still within me and the breath of God remains in my nostrils,
3Quia donec superest halitus in me, et spiritus Dei in naribus meis,
4my lips will not speak wickedness, and my tongue will not utter deceit.
4non loquentur labia mea iniquitatem, nec lingua mea meditabitur mendacium.
5I will never say that you are right; I will maintain my integrity until I die.
5Absit a me ut justos vos esse judicem: donec deficiam, non recedam ab innocentia mea.
6I will cling to my righteousness and never let go. As long as I live, my conscience will not accuse me.
6Justificationem meam, quam cœpi tenere, non deseram: neque enim reprehendit me cor meum in omni vita mea.
7May my enemy be like the wicked and my opponent like the unjust.
7Sit ut impius, inimicus meus, et adversarius meus quasi iniquus.
8For what is the hope of the godless when he is cut off, when God takes away his life?
8Quæ est enim spes hypocritæ, si avare rapiat, et non liberet Deus animam ejus?
9Will God hear his cry when distress comes upon him?
9Numquid Deus audiet clamorem ejus, cum venerit super eum angustia?
10Will he delight in the Almighty? Will he call upon God at all times?
10aut poterit in Omnipotente delectari, et invocare Deum omni tempore?
11I will instruct you in the power of God. I will not conceal the ways of the Almighty.
11Docebo vos per manum Dei quæ Omnipotens habeat, nec abscondam.
12Surely all of you have seen it for yourselves. Why then do you keep up this empty talk?
12Ecce vos omnes nostis: et quid sine causa vana loquimini?
13This is the wicked man’s portion from God— the heritage the ruthless receive from the Almighty.
13Hæc est pars hominis impii apud Deum, et hæreditas violentorum, quam ob Omnipotente suscipient.
14Though his sons are many, they are destined for the sword; and his offspring will never have enough food.
14Si multiplicati fuerint filii ejus, in gladio erunt, et nepotes ejus non saturabuntur pane:
15His survivors will be buried by the plague, and their widows will not weep for them.
15qui reliqui fuerint ex eo sepelientur in interitu, et viduæ illius non plorabunt.
16Though he heaps up silver like dust and piles up a wardrobe like clay,
16Si comportaverit quasi terram argentum, et sicut lutum præparaverit vestimenta:
17what he lays up, the righteous will wear, and his silver will be divided by the innocent.
17præparabit quidem, sed justus vestietur illis, et argentum innocens dividet.
18The house he built is like a moth’s cocoon, like a hut set up by a watchman.
18Ædificavit sicut tinea domum suam, et sicut custos fecit umbraculum.
19He lies down wealthy, but will do so no more; when he opens his eyes, all is gone.
19Dives, cum dormierit, nihil secum auferet: aperiet oculos suos, et nihil inveniet.
20Terrors overtake him like a flood; a tempest sweeps him away in the night.
20Apprehendet eum quasi aqua inopia: nocte opprimet eum tempestas.
21The east wind carries him away, and he is gone; it sweeps him out of his place.
21Tollet eum ventus urens, et auferet, et velut turbo rapiet eum de loco suo.
22It hurls itself against him without mercy as he flees headlong from its power.
22Et mittet super eum, et non parcet: de manu ejus fugiens fugiet.
23It claps its hands at him and hisses him out of his place.
23Stringet super eum manus suas, et sibilabit super illum, intuens locum ejus.]
