Clementine Vulgate, 1598
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Respondens autem Job dixit:
1But Job answered and said,
2[Cujus adjutor es? numquid imbecillis? et sustentas brachium ejus qui non est fortis?
2How hast thou helped him that is without power? how savest thou the arm that hath no strength?
3Cui dedisti consilium? forsitan illi qui non habet sapientiam: et prudentiam tuam ostendisti plurimam.
3How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom? and how hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?
4Quem docere voluisti? nonne eum qui fecit spiramentum?
4To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?
5Ecce gigantes gemunt sub aquis, et qui habitant cum eis.
5Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof.
6Nudus est infernus coram illo, et nullum est operimentum perditioni.
6Hell is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering.
7Qui extendit aquilonem super vacuum, et appendit terram super nihilum.
7He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.
8Qui ligat aquas in nubibus suis, ut non erumpant pariter deorsum.
8He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.
9Qui tenet vultum solii sui, et expandit super illud nebulam suam.
9He holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it.
10Terminum circumdedit aquis, usque dum finiantur lux et tenebræ.
10He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.
11Columnæ cæli contremiscunt, et pavent ad nutum ejus.
11The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.
12In fortitudine illius repente maria congregata sunt, et prudentia ejus percussit superbum.
12He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud.
13Spiritus ejus ornavit cælos, et obstetricante manu ejus, eductus est coluber tortuosus.
13By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.
14Ecce hæc ex parte dicta sunt viarum ejus: et cum vix parvam stillam sermonis ejus audierimus, quis poterit tonitruum magnitudinis illius intueri?]
14Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand?
