Clementine Vulgate, 1598
King James Version with Apocrypha
1[Super hoc expavit cor meum, et emotum est de loco suo.
1At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of his place.
2Audite auditionem in terrore vocis ejus, et sonum de ore illius procedentem.
2Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound that goeth out of his mouth.
3Subter omnes cælos ipse considerat, et lumen illius super terminos terræ.
3He directeth it under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto the ends of the earth.
4Post eum rugiet sonitus; tonabit voce magnitudinis suæ: et non investigabitur, cum audita fuerit vox ejus.
4After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of his excellency; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard.
5Tonabit Deus in voce sua mirabiliter, qui facit magna et inscrutabilia;
5God thundereth marvellously with his voice; great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend.
6qui præcipit nivi ut descendat in terram, et hiemis pluviis, et imbri fortitudinis suæ;
6For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength.
7qui in manu omnium hominum signat, ut noverint singuli opera sua.
7He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work.
8Ingredietur bestia latibulum, et in antro suo morabitur.
8Then the beasts go into dens, and remain in their places.
9Ab interioribus egredietur tempestas, et ab Arcturo frigus.
9Out of the south cometh the whirlwind: and cold out of the north.
10Flante Deo, concrescit gelu, et rursum latissimæ funduntur aquæ.
10By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened.
11Frumentum desiderat nubes, et nubes spargunt lumen suum.
11Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud: he scattereth his bright cloud:
12Quæ lustrant per circuitum, quocumque eas voluntas gubernantis duxerit, ad omne quod præceperit illis super faciem orbis terrarum:
12And it is turned round about by his counsels: that they may do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the face of the world in the earth.
13sive in una tribu, sive in terra sua, sive in quocumque loco misericordiæ suæ eas jusserit inveniri.
13He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy.
14Ausculta hæc, Job: sta, et considera mirabilia Dei.
14Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.
15Numquid scis quando præceperit Deus pluviis, ut ostenderent lucem nubium ejus?
15Dost thou know when God disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine?
16Numquid nosti semitas nubium magnas, et perfectas scientias?
16Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge?
17Nonne vestimenta tua calida sunt, cum perflata fuerit terra austro?
17How thy garments are warm, when he quieteth the earth by the south wind ?
18Tu forsitan cum eo fabricatus es cælos, qui solidissimi quasi ære fusi sunt.
18Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass?
19Ostende nobis quid dicamus illi: nos quippe involvimur tenebris.
19Teach us what we shall say unto him; for we cannot order our speech by reason of darkness.
20Quis narrabit ei quæ loquor? etiam si locutus fuerit homo, devorabitur.
20Shall it be told him that I speak? if a man speak, surely he shall be swallowed up.
21At nunc non vident lucem: subito aër cogetur in nubes, et ventus transiens fugabit eas.
21And now men see not the bright light which is in the clouds: but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them.
22Ab aquilone aurum venit, et ad Deum formidolosa laudatio.
22Fair weather cometh out of the north: with God is terrible majesty.
23Digne eum invenire non possumus: magnus fortitudine, et judicio, et justitia: et enarrari non potest.
23Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out: he is excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice: he will not afflict.
24Ideo timebunt eum viri, et non audebunt contemplari omnes qui sibi videntur esse sapientes.]
24Men do therefore fear him: he respecteth not any that are wise of heart.
