Clementine Vulgate, 1598
Berean Standard Bible
1[Justus perit, et non est qui recogitet in corde suo; et viri misericordiæ colliguntur, quia non est qui intelligat: a facie enim malitiæ collectus est justus.
1The righteous perish, and no one takes it to heart; devout men are swept away, while no one considers that the righteous are guided from the presence of evil.
2Veniat pax; requiescat in cubili suo qui ambulavit in directione sua.
2Those who walk uprightly enter into peace; they find rest, lying down in death.
3Vos autem accedite huc, filii auguratricis, semen adulteri et fornicariæ.
3“But come here, you sons of a sorceress, you offspring of adulterers and prostitutes!
4Super quem lusistis? super quem dilatastis os, et ejecistis linguam? Numquid non vos filii scelesti, semen mendax,
4Whom are you mocking? At whom do you snarl and stick out your tongue? Are you not children of transgression, offspring of deceit,
5qui consolamini in diis subter omne lignum frondosum, immolantes parvulos in torrentibus, subter eminentes petras?
5who burn with lust among the oaks, under every luxuriant tree, who slaughter your children in the valleys, under the clefts of the rocks?
6In partibus torrentis pars tua; hæc est sors tua: et ipsis effudisti libamen, obtulisti sacrificium. Numquid super his non indignabor?
6Your portion is among the smooth stones of the valley; indeed, they are your lot. Even to them you have poured out a drink offering and offered a grain offering. Should I relent because of these?
7Super montem excelsum et sublimem posuisti cubile tuum, et illuc ascendisti ut immolares hostias.
7On a high and lofty hill you have made your bed, and there you went up to offer sacrifices.
8Et post ostium, et retro postem, posuisti memoriale tuum. Quia juxta me discooperuisti, et suscepisti adulterum, dilatasti cubile tuum, et pepigisti cum eis fœdus; dilexisti stratum eorum manu aperta.
8Behind the door and doorpost you have set up your memorial. Forsaking Me, you uncovered your bed; you climbed up and opened it wide. And you have made a pact with those whose bed you have loved; you have gazed upon their nakedness.
9Et ornasti te regi unguento, et multiplicasti pigmenta tua. Misisti legatos tuos procul, et humiliata es usque ad inferos.
9You went to Molech with oil and multiplied your perfumes. You have sent your envoys a great distance; you have descended even to Sheol itself.
10In multitudine viæ tuæ laborasti; non dixisti: Quiescam. Vitam manus tuæ invenisti; propterea non rogasti.
10You are wearied by your many journeys, but you did not say, “There is no hope!” You found renewal of your strength; therefore you did not grow weak.
11Pro quo sollicita timuisti, quia mentita es, et mei non es recordata, neque cogitasti in corde tuo? Quia ego tacens et quasi non videns, et mei oblita es.
11Whom have you dreaded and feared, so that you lied and failed to remember Me or take this to heart? Is it not because I have long been silent that you do not fear Me?
12Ego annuntiabo justitiam tuam, et opera tua non proderunt tibi.
12I will expose your righteousness and your works, and they will not profit you.
13Cum clamaveris, liberent te congregati tui, et omnes eos auferet ventus, tollet aura.] [Qui autem fiduciam habet mei, hæreditabit terram, et possidebit montem sanctum meum.
13When you cry out, let your companies of idols deliver you! Yet the wind will carry off all of them, a breath will take them away. But he who seeks refuge in Me will inherit the land and possess My holy mountain.”
14Et dicam: Viam facite, præbete iter; declinate de semita, auferte offendicula de via populi mei.
14And it will be said, “Build it up, build it up, prepare the way, take every obstacle out of the way of My people.”
15Quia hæc dicit Excelsus, et Sublimis, habitans æternitatem, et sanctum nomen ejus: in excelso et in sancto habitans, et cum contrito et humili spiritu: ut vivificet spiritum humilium, et vivificet cor contritorum.
15For thus says the One who is high and lifted up, who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: “I dwell in a high and holy place, and with the oppressed and humble in spirit, to restore the spirit of the lowly and revive the heart of the contrite.
16Non enim in sempiternum litigabo, neque usque ad finem irascar, quia spiritus a facie mea egredietur, et flatus ego faciam.
16For I will not accuse you forever, nor will I always be angry; for then the spirit of man would grow weak before Me, with the breath of those I have made.
17Propter iniquitatem avaritiæ ejus iratus sum, et percussi eum. Abscondi a te faciem meam, et indignatus sum; et abiit vagus in via cordis sui.
17I was enraged by his sinful greed, so I struck him and hid My face in anger; yet he kept turning back to the desires of his heart.
18Vias ejus vidi, et sanavi eum; et reduxi eum, et reddidi consolationes ipsi, et lugentibus ejus.
18I have seen his ways, but I will heal him; I will guide him and restore comfort to him and his mourners,
19Creavi fructum labiorum pacem; pacem ei qui longe est et qui prope, dixit Dominus, et sanavi eum.
19bringing praise to their lips. Peace, peace to those far and near,” says the LORD, “and I will heal them.”
20Impii autem quasi mare fervens, quod quiescere non potest, et redundant fluctus ejus in conculcationem et lutum.
20But the wicked are like the storm-tossed sea, for it cannot be still, and its waves churn up mire and muck.
21Non est pax impiis, dicit Dominus Deus.]
21“There is no peace,” says my God, “for the wicked.”
