1Addidit quoque Job, assumens parabolam suam, et dixit:
1And Job again took up his parable, and said:
2[Vivit Deus, qui abstulit judicium meum, et Omnipotens, qui ad amaritudinem adduxit animam meam.
2As God liveth, who hath taken away my right; and the Almighty, who hath dealt bitterly with me;
3Quia donec superest halitus in me, et spiritus Dei in naribus meis,
3All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils,
4non loquentur labia mea iniquitatem, nec lingua mea meditabitur mendacium.
4Surely my lips shall not speak unrighteousness, neither shall my tongue utter deceit;
5Absit a me ut justos vos esse judicem: donec deficiam, non recedam ab innocentia mea.
5Far be it from me that I should justify you; till I die I will not put away mine integrity from me.
6Justificationem meam, quam cœpi tenere, non deseram: neque enim reprehendit me cor meum in omni vita mea.
6My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go; my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.
7Sit ut impius, inimicus meus, et adversarius meus quasi iniquus.
7Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and let him that riseth up against me be as the unrighteous.
8Quæ est enim spes hypocritæ, si avare rapiat, et non liberet Deus animam ejus?
8For what is the hope of the godless, though he get him gain, when God taketh away his soul?
9Numquid Deus audiet clamorem ejus, cum venerit super eum angustia?
9Will God hear his cry, when trouble cometh upon him?
10aut poterit in Omnipotente delectari, et invocare Deum omni tempore?
10Will he have his delight in the Almighty, and call upon God at all times?
11Docebo vos per manum Dei quæ Omnipotens habeat, nec abscondam.
11I will teach you concerning the hand of God; that which is with the Almighty will I not conceal.
12Ecce vos omnes nostis: et quid sine causa vana loquimini?
12Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it; why then are ye become altogether vain?
13Hæc est pars hominis impii apud Deum, et hæreditas violentorum, quam ob Omnipotente suscipient.
13This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, which they receive from the Almighty.
14Si multiplicati fuerint filii ejus, in gladio erunt, et nepotes ejus non saturabuntur pane:
14If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword; and his offspring shall not have bread enough.
15qui reliqui fuerint ex eo sepelientur in interitu, et viduæ illius non plorabunt.
15Those that remain of him shall be buried by pestilence, and his widows shall make no lamentation.
16Si comportaverit quasi terram argentum, et sicut lutum præparaverit vestimenta:
16Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay;
17præparabit quidem, sed justus vestietur illis, et argentum innocens dividet.
17He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the silver.
18Ædificavit sicut tinea domum suam, et sicut custos fecit umbraculum.
18He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth which the keeper maketh.
19Dives, cum dormierit, nihil secum auferet: aperiet oculos suos, et nihil inveniet.
19He lieth down rich, but there shall be not to gather; he openeth his eyes, and his wealth is not.
20Apprehendet eum quasi aqua inopia: nocte opprimet eum tempestas.
20Terrors overtake him like waters; a tempest stealeth him away in the night.
21Tollet eum ventus urens, et auferet, et velut turbo rapiet eum de loco suo.
21The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth; and it sweepeth him out of his place.
22Et mittet super eum, et non parcet: de manu ejus fugiens fugiet.
22Yea, it hurleth at him, and spareth not; he would fain flee from its power.
23Stringet super eum manus suas, et sibilabit super illum, intuens locum ejus.]
23Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.
