King James Version with Apocrypha
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Then Job answered and said,
1Respondens autem Job, dixit:
2How long will ye vex my soul, and break me in pieces with words?
2[Usquequo affligitis animam meam, et atteritis me sermonibus?
3These ten times have ye reproached me: ye are not ashamed that ye make yourselves strange to me.
3En decies confunditis me, et non erubescitis opprimentes me.
4And be it indeed that I have erred, mine error remaineth with myself.
4Nempe etsi ignoravi, mecum erit ignorantia mea.
5If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, and plead against me my reproach:
5At vos contra me erigimini, et arguitis me opprobriis meis.
6Know now that God hath overthrown me, and hath compassed me with his net.
6Saltem nunc intelligite quia Deus non æquo judicio afflixerit me, et flagellis suis me cinxerit.
7Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloud, but there is no judgment.
7Ecce clamabo, vim patiens, et nemo audiet; vociferabor, et non est qui judicet.
8He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set darkness in my paths.
8Semitam meam circumsepsit, et transire non possum: et in calle meo tenebras posuit.
9He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head.
9Spoliavit me gloria mea, et abstulit coronam de capite meo.
10He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am gone: and mine hope hath he removed like a tree.
10Destruxit me undique, et pereo: et quasi evulsæ arbori abstulit spem meam.
11He hath also kindled his wrath against me, and he counteth me unto him as one of his enemies.
11Iratus est contra me furor ejus, et sic me habuit quasi hostem suum.
12His troops come together, and raise up their way against me, and encamp round about my tabernacle.
12Simul venerunt latrones ejus, et fecerunt sibi viam per me, et obsederunt in gyro tabernaculum meum.
13He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are verily estranged from me.
13Fratres meos longe fecit a me, et noti mei quasi alieni recesserunt a me.
14My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me.
14Dereliquerunt me propinqui mei, et qui me noverant obliti sunt mei.
15They that dwell in mine house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight.
15Inquilini domus meæ et ancillæ meæ sicut alienum habuerunt me, et quasi peregrinus fui in oculis eorum.
16I called my servant, and he gave me no answer; I intreated him with my mouth.
16Servum meum vocavi, et non respondit: ore proprio deprecabar illum.
17My breath is strange to my wife, though I intreated for the children’s sake of mine own body.
17Halitum meum exhorruit uxor mea, et orabam filios uteri mei.
18Yea, young children despised me; I arose, and they spake against me.
18Stulti quoque despiciebant me: et cum ab eis recessissem, detrahebant mihi.
19All my inward friends abhorred me: and they whom I loved are turned against me.
19Abominati sunt me quondam consiliarii mei, et quem maxime diligebam, aversatus est me.
20My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth.
20Pelli meæ, consumptis carnibus, adhæsit os meum, et derelicta sunt tantummodo labia circa dentes meos.
21Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me.
21Miseremini mei, miseremini mei saltem vos, amici mei, quia manus Domini tetigit me.
22Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?
22Quare persequimini me sicut Deus, et carnibus meis saturamini?
23Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book!
23Quis mihi tribuat ut scribantur sermones mei? quis mihi det ut exarentur in libro
24That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock for ever!
24stylo ferreo et plumbi lamina, vel celte sculpantur in silice?
25For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:
25Scio enim quod redemptor meus vivit, et in novissimo die de terra surrecturus sum:
26And though after my skin worms destroy this body , yet in my flesh shall I see God:
26et rursum circumdabor pelle mea, et in carne mea videbo Deum meum:
27Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.
27quem visurus sum ego ipse, et oculi mei conspecturi sunt, et non alius: reposita est hæc spes mea in sinu meo.
28But ye should say, Why persecute we him, seeing the root of the matter is found in me?
28Quare ergo nunc dicitis: Persequamur eum, et radicem verbi inveniamus contra eum?
29Be ye afraid of the sword: for wrath bringeth the punishments of the sword, that ye may know there is a judgment.
29Fugite ergo a facie gladii, quoniam ultor iniquitatum gladius est: et scitote esse judicium.]
