Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1I will not stir him up, like one that is cruel: for who can resist my countenance?
1[Non quasi crudelis suscitabo eum: quis enim resistere potest vultui meo?
2Who hath given me before that I should repay him? All things that are under heaven are mine.
2Quis ante dedit mihi, ut reddam ei? omnia quæ sub cælo sunt, mea sunt.
3I will not spare him, nor his mighty words, and framed to make supplication.
3Non parcam ei, et verbis potentibus, et ad deprecandum compositis.
4Who can discover the face of his garment? or who can go into the midst of his mouth?
4Quis revelabit faciem indumenti ejus? et in medium oris ejus quis intrabit?
5Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth are terrible round about.
5Portas vultus ejus quis aperiet? per gyrum dentium ejus formido.
6His body is like molten shields, shut close up with scales pressing upon one another.
6Corpus illius quasi scuta fusilia, compactum squamis se prementibus.
7One is joined to another, and not so much as any air can come between them:
7Una uni conjungitur, et ne spiraculum quidem incedit per eas.
8They stick one to another and they hold one another fast, and shall not be separated.
8Una alteri adhærebit, et tenentes se nequaquam separabuntur.
9His sneezing is like the shining of fire, and his eyes like the eyelids of the morning.
9Sternutatio ejus splendor ignis, et oculi ejus ut palpebræ diluculi.
10Out of his mouth go forth lamps, like torches of lighted fire.
10De ore ejus lampades procedunt, sicut tædæ ignis accensæ.
11Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, like that of a pot heated and boiling.
11De naribus ejus procedit fumus, sicut ollæ succensæ atque ferventis.
12His breath kindleth coals, and a flame cometh forth out of his mouth.
12Halitus ejus prunas ardere facit, et flamma de ore ejus egreditur.
13In his neck strength shall dwell, and want goeth before his face.
13In collo ejus morabitur fortitudo, et faciem ejus præcedit egestas.
14The members of his flesh cleave one to another: he shall send lightnings against him, and they shall not be carried to another place.
14Membra carnium ejus cohærentia sibi: mittet contra eum fulmina, et ad locum alium non ferentur.
15His heart shall be as hard as a stone, and as firm as a smith’s anvil.
15Cor ejus indurabitur tamquam lapis, et stringetur quasi malleatoris incus.
16When he shall raise him up, the angels shall fear, and being affrighted shall purify themselves.
16Cum sublatus fuerit, timebunt angeli, et territi purgabuntur.
17When a sword shall lay at him, it shall not be able to hold, nor a spear, nor a breastplate.
17Cum apprehenderit eum gladius, subsistere non poterit, neque hasta, neque thorax:
18For he shall esteem iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood.
18reputabit enim quasi paleas ferrum, et quasi lignum putridum æs.
19The archer shall not put him to flight, the stones of the sling are to him like stubble.
19Non fugabit eum vir sagittarius: in stipulam versi sunt ei lapides fundæ.
20As stubble will he esteem the hammer, and he will laugh him to scorn who shaketh the spear.
20Quasi stipulam æstimabit malleum, et deridebit vibrantem hastam.
21The beams of the sun shall be under him, and he shall strew gold under him like mire.
21Sub ipso erunt radii solis, et sternet sibi aurum quasi lutum.
22He shall make the deep sea to boil like a pot, and shall make it as when ointments boil.
22Fervescere faciet quasi ollam profundum mare, et ponet quasi cum unguenta bulliunt.
23A path shall shine after him, he shall esteem the deep as growing old.
23Post eum lucebit semita: æstimabit abyssum quasi senescentem.
24There is no power upon earth that can be compared with him who was made to fear no one.
24Non est super terram potestas quæ comparetur ei, qui factus est ut nullum timeret.
25He beholdeth every high thing, he is king over all the children of pride.
25Omne sublime videt: ipse est rex super universos filios superbiæ.]
