Job 35

King James Version with Apocrypha

Clementine Vulgate, 1598

1Elihu spake moreover, and said,

1Igitur Eliu hæc rursum locutus est:

2Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than God’s?

2[Numquid æqua tibi videtur tua cogitatio, ut diceres: Justior sum Deo?

3For thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee? and , What profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin?

3Dixisti enim: Non tibi placet quod rectum est: vel quid tibi proderit, si ego peccavero?

4I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee.

4Itaque ego respondebo sermonibus tuis, et amicis tuis tecum.

5Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds which are higher than thou.

5Suspice cælum, et intuere: et contemplare æthera quod altior te sit.

6If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?

6Si peccaveris, quid ei nocebis? et si multiplicatæ fuerint iniquitates tuæ, quid facies contra eum?

7If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? or what receiveth he of thine hand?

7Porro si juste egeris, quid donabis ei? aut quid de manu tua accipiet?

8Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art; and thy righteousness may profit the son of man.

8Homini qui similis tui est, nocebit impietas tua: et filium hominis adjuvabit justitia tua.

9By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to cry: they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty.

9Propter multitudinem calumniatorum clamabunt, et ejulabunt propter vim brachii tyrannorum.

10But none saith, Where is God my maker, who giveth songs in the night;

10Et non dixit: Ubi est Deus qui fecit me, qui dedit carmina in nocte;

11Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven?

11qui docet nos super jumenta terræ, et super volucres cæli erudit nos?

12There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride of evil men.

12Ibi clamabunt, et non exaudiet, propter superbiam malorum.

13Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.

13Non ergo frustra audiet Deus, et Omnipotens causas singulorum intuebitur.

14Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, yet judgment is before him; therefore trust thou in him.

14Etiam cum dixeris: Non considerat: judicare coram illo, et expecta eum.

15But now, because it is not so , he hath visited in his anger; yet he knoweth it not in great extremity:

15Nunc enim non infert furorem suum, nec ulciscitur scelus valde.

16Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplieth words without knowledge.

16Ergo Job frustra aperit os suum, et absque scientia verba multiplicat.]
