King James Version with Apocrypha
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1And Job answered and said,
1Respondens autem Job, dixit:
2No doubt but ye are the people, and wisdom shall die with you.
2[Ergo vos estis soli homines, et vobiscum morietur sapientia?
3But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you: yea, who knoweth not such things as these?
3Et mihi est cor sicut et vobis, nec inferior vestri sum; quis enim hæc quæ nostis ignorat?
4I am as one mocked of his neighbour, who calleth upon God, and he answereth him: the just upright man is laughed to scorn.
4Qui deridetur ab amico suo, sicut ego, invocabit Deum, et exaudiet eum: deridetur enim justi simplicitas.
5He that is ready to slip with his feet is as a lamp despised in the thought of him that is at ease.
5Lampas contempta apud cogitationes divitum parata ad tempus statutum.
6The tabernacles of robbers prosper, and they that provoke God are secure; into whose hand God bringeth abundantly .
6Abundant tabernacula prædonum, et audacter provocant Deum, cum ipse dederit omnia in manus eorum.
7But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee:
7Nimirum interroga jumenta, et docebunt te; et volatilia cæli, et indicabunt tibi.
8Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee.
8Loquere terræ, et respondebit tibi, et narrabunt pisces maris.
9Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the LORD hath wrought this?
9Quis ignorat quod omnia hæc manus Domini fecerit?
10In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind.
10In cujus manu anima omnis viventis, et spiritus universæ carnis hominis.
11Doth not the ear try words? and the mouth taste his meat?
11Nonne auris verba dijudicat? et fauces comedentis, saporem?
12With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding.
12In antiquis est sapientia, et in multo tempore prudentia.
13With him is wisdom and strength, he hath counsel and understanding.
13Apud ipsum est sapientia et fortitudo; ipse habet consilium et intelligentiam.
14Behold, he breaketh down, and it cannot be built again: he shutteth up a man, and there can be no opening.
14Si destruxerit, nemo est qui ædificet; si incluserit hominem, nullus est qui aperiat.
15Behold, he withholdeth the waters, and they dry up: also he sendeth them out, and they overturn the earth.
15Si continuerit aquas, omnia siccabuntur; et si emiserit eas, subvertent terram.
16With him is strength and wisdom: the deceived and the deceiver are his.
16Apud ipsum est fortitudo et sapientia; ipse novit et decipientem, et eum qui decipitur.
17He leadeth counsellors away spoiled, and maketh the judges fools.
17Adducit consiliarios in stultum finem, et judices in stuporem.
18He looseth the bond of kings, and girdeth their loins with a girdle.
18Balteum regum dissolvit, et præcingit fune renes eorum.
19He leadeth princes away spoiled, and overthroweth the mighty.
19Ducit sacerdotes inglorios, et optimates supplantat:
20He removeth away the speech of the trusty, and taketh away the understanding of the aged.
20commutans labium veracium, et doctrinam senum auferens.
21He poureth contempt upon princes, and weakeneth the strength of the mighty.
21Effundit despectionem super principes, eos qui oppressi fuerant relevans.
22He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth out to light the shadow of death.
22Qui revelat profunda de tenebris, et producit in lucem umbram mortis.
23He increaseth the nations, and destroyeth them: he enlargeth the nations, and straiteneth them again .
23Qui multiplicat gentes, et perdit eas, et subversas in integrum restituit.
24He taketh away the heart of the chief of the people of the earth, and causeth them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way.
24Qui immutat cor principum populi terræ, et decipit eos ut frustra incedant per invium:
25They grope in the dark without light, and he maketh them to stagger like a drunken man .
25palpabunt quasi in tenebris, et non in luce, et errare eos faciet quasi ebrios.]
