Job 15
King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said,
1Respondens autem Eliphaz Themanites, dixit:
2Should a wise man utter vain knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind?
2[Numquid sapiens respondebit quasi in ventum loquens, et implebit ardore stomachum suum?
3Should he reason with unprofitable talk? or with speeches wherewith he can do no good?
3Arguis verbis eum qui non est æqualis tibi, et loqueris quod tibi non expedit.
4Yea, thou castest off fear, and restrainest prayer before God.
4Quantum in te est, evacuasti timorem, et tulisti preces coram Deo.
5For thy mouth uttereth thine iniquity, and thou choosest the tongue of the crafty.
5Docuit enim iniquitas tua os tuum, et imitaris linguam blasphemantium.
6Thine own mouth condemneth thee, and not I: yea, thine own lips testify against thee.
6Condemnabit te os tuum, et non ego: et labia tua respondebunt tibi.
7Art thou the first man that was born? or wast thou made before the hills?
7Numquid primus homo tu natus es, et ante colles formatus?
8Hast thou heard the secret of God? and dost thou restrain wisdom to thyself?
8numquid consilium Dei audisti, et inferior te erit ejus sapientia?
9What knowest thou, that we know not? what understandest thou, which is not in us?
9Quid nosti quod ignoremus? quid intelligis quod nesciamus?
10With us are both the grayheaded and very aged men, much elder than thy father.
10Et senes et antiqui sunt in nobis, multo vetustiores quam patres tui.
11Are the consolations of God small with thee? is there any secret thing with thee?
11Numquid grande est ut consoletur te Deus? sed verba tua prava hoc prohibent.
12Why doth thine heart carry thee away? and what do thy eyes wink at,
12Quid te elevat cor tuum, et quasi magna cogitans attonitos habes oculos?
13That thou turnest thy spirit against God, and lettest such words go out of thy mouth?
13Quid tumet contra Deum spiritus tuus, ut proferas de ore tuo hujuscemodi sermones?
14What is man, that he should be clean? and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
14Quid est homo ut immaculatus sit, et ut justus appareat natus de muliere?
15Behold, he putteth no trust in his saints; yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight.
15Ecce inter sanctos ejus nemo immutabilis, et cæli non sunt mundi in conspectu ejus.
16How much more abominable and filthy is man, which drinketh iniquity like water?
16Quanto magis abominabilis et inutilis homo, qui bibit quasi aquam iniquitatem?
17I will shew thee, hear me; and that which I have seen I will declare;
17Ostendam tibi: audi me: quod vidi, narrabo tibi.
18Which wise men have told from their fathers, and have not hid it:
18Sapientes confitentur, et non abscondunt patres suos:
19Unto whom alone the earth was given, and no stranger passed among them.
19quibus solis data est terra, et non transivit alienus per eos.
20The wicked man travaileth with pain all his days, and the number of years is hidden to the oppressor.
20Cunctis diebus suis impius superbit, et numerus annorum incertus est tyrannidis ejus.
21A dreadful sound is in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him.
21Sonitus terroris semper in auribus illius: et cum pax sit, ille semper insidias suspicatur.
22He believeth not that he shall return out of darkness, and he is waited for of the sword.
22Non credit quod reverti possit de tenebris ad lucem, circumspectans undique gladium.
23He wandereth abroad for bread, saying , Where is it ? he knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.
23Cum se moverit ad quærendum panem, novit quod paratus sit in manu ejus tenebrarum dies.
24Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid; they shall prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle.
24Terrebit eum tribulatio, et angustia vallabit eum, sicut regem qui præparatur ad prælium.
25For he stretcheth out his hand against God, and strengtheneth himself against the Almighty.
25Tetendit enim adversus Deum manum suam, et contra Omnipotentem roboratus est.
26He runneth upon him, even on his neck, upon the thick bosses of his bucklers:
26Cucurrit adversus eum erecto collo, et pingui cervice armatus est.
27Because he covereth his face with his fatness, and maketh collops of fat on his flanks.
27Operuit faciem ejus crassitudo, et de lateribus ejus arvina dependet.
28And he dwelleth in desolate cities, and in houses which no man inhabiteth, which are ready to become heaps.
28Habitavit in civitatibus desolatis, et in domibus desertis, quæ in tumulos sunt redactæ.
29He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he prolong the perfection thereof upon the earth.
29Non ditabitur, nec perseverabit substantia ejus, nec mittet in terra radicem suam.
30He shall not depart out of darkness; the flame shall dry up his branches, and by the breath of his mouth shall he go away.
30Non recedet de tenebris: ramos ejus arefaciet flamma, et auferetur spiritu oris sui.
31Let not him that is deceived trust in vanity: for vanity shall be his recompence.
31Non credet, frustra errore deceptus, quod aliquo pretio redimendus sit.
32It shall be accomplished before his time, and his branch shall not be green.
32Antequam dies ejus impleantur peribit, et manus ejus arescent.
33He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine, and shall cast off his flower as the olive.
33Lædetur quasi vinea in primo flore botrus ejus, et quasi oliva projiciens florem suum.
34For the congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate, and fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery.
34Congregatio enim hypocritæ sterilis, et ignis devorabit tabernacula eorum qui munera libenter accipiunt.
35They conceive mischief, and bring forth vanity, and their belly prepareth deceit.
35Concepit dolorem, et peperit iniquitatem, et uterus ejus præparat dolos.]
