King James Version with Apocrypha
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,
1Respondens autem Sophar Naamathites, dixit:
2Should not the multitude of words be answered? and should a man full of talk be justified?
2[Numquid qui multa loquitur, non et audiet? aut vir verbosus justificabitur?
3Should thy lies make men hold their peace? and when thou mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed?
3Tibi soli tacebunt homines? et cum ceteros irriseris, a nullo confutaberis?
4For thou hast said, My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in thine eyes.
4Dixisti enim: Purus est sermo meus, et mundus sum in conspectu tuo.
5But oh that God would speak, and open his lips against thee;
5Atque utinam Deus loqueretur tecum, et aperiret labia sua tibi,
6And that he would shew thee the secrets of wisdom, that they are double to that which is! Know therefore that God exacteth of thee less than thine iniquity deserveth .
6ut ostenderet tibi secreta sapientiæ, et quod multiplex esset lex ejus: et intelligeres quod multo minora exigaris ab eo quam meretur iniquitas tua !
7Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection?
7Forsitan vestigia Dei comprehendes, et usque ad perfectum Omnipotentem reperies?
8It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know?
8Excelsior cælo est, et quid facies? profundior inferno, et unde cognosces?
9The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.
9Longior terra mensura ejus, et latior mari.
10If he cut off, and shut up, or gather together, then who can hinder him?
10Si subverterit omnia, vel in unum coarctaverit, quis contradicet ei?
11For he knoweth vain men: he seeth wickedness also; will he not then consider it ?
11Ipse enim novit hominum vanitatem; et videns iniquitatem, nonne considerat?
12For vain man would be wise, though man be born like a wild ass’s colt.
12Vir vanus in superbiam erigitur, et tamquam pullum onagri se liberum natum putat.
13If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine hands toward him;
13Tu autem firmasti cor tuum, et expandisti ad eum manus tuas.
14If iniquity be in thine hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in thy tabernacles.
14Si iniquitatem quæ est in manu tua abstuleris a te, et non manserit in tabernaculo tuo injustitia,
15For then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; yea, thou shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear:
15tunc levare poteris faciem tuam absque macula; et eris stabilis, et non timebis.
16Because thou shalt forget thy misery, and remember it as waters that pass away:
16Miseriæ quoque oblivisceris, et quasi aquarum quæ præterierunt recordaberis.
17And thine age shall be clearer than the noonday; thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning.
17Et quasi meridianus fulgor consurget tibi ad vesperam; et cum te consumptum putaveris, orieris ut lucifer.
18And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; yea, thou shalt dig about thee, and thou shalt take thy rest in safety.
18Et habebis fiduciam, proposita tibi spe: et defossus securus dormies.
19Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; yea, many shall make suit unto thee.
19Requiesces, et non erit qui te exterreat; et deprecabuntur faciem tuam plurimi.
20But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not escape, and their hope shall be as the giving up of the ghost.
20Oculi autem impiorum deficient, et effugium peribit ab eis: et spes illorum abominatio animæ.]
