Job 40
Clementine Vulgate, 1598Translation
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Respondens autem Dominus Job de turbine, dixit:
1Moreover the LORD answered Job, and said,
2[Accinge sicut vir lumbos tuos: interrogabo te, et indica mihi.
2Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him ? he that reproveth God, let him answer it.
3Numquid irritum facies judicium meum, et condemnabis me, ut tu justificeris?
3¶ Then Job answered the LORD , and said,
4Et si habes brachium sicut Deus? et si voce simili tonas?
4Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay mine hand upon my mouth.
5Circumda tibi decorem, et in sublime erigere, et esto gloriosus, et speciosis induere vestibus.
5Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea, twice; but I will proceed no further.
6Disperge superbos in furore tuo, et respiciens omnem arrogantem humilia.
6¶ Then answered the LORD unto Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
7Respice cunctos superbos, et confunde eos, et contere impios in loco suo.
7Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.
8Absconde eos in pulvere simul, et facies eorum demerge in foveam.
8Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous?
9Et ego confitebor quod salvare te possit dextera tua.
9Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice like him?
10Ecce behemoth quem feci tecum, fœnum quasi bos comedet.
10Deck thyself now with majesty and excellency; and array thyself with glory and beauty.
11Fortitudo ejus in lumbis ejus, et virtus illius in umbilico ventris ejus.
11Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and behold every one that is proud, and abase him.
12Stringit caudam suam quasi cedrum; nervi testiculorum ejus perplexi sunt.
12Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place.
13Ossa ejus velut fistulæ æris; cartilago illius quasi laminæ ferreæ.
13Hide them in the dust together; and bind their faces in secret.
14Ipse est principium viarum Dei: qui fecit eum applicabit gladium ejus.
14Then will I also confess unto thee that thine own right hand can save thee.
15Huic montes herbas ferunt: omnes bestiæ agri ludent ibi.
15¶ Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.
16Sub umbra dormit in secreto calami, et in locis humentibus.
16Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.
17Protegunt umbræ umbram ejus: circumdabunt eum salices torrentis.
17He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.
18Ecce absorbebit fluvium, et non mirabitur, et habet fiduciam quod influat Jordanis in os ejus.
18His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.
19In oculis ejus quasi hamo capiet eum, et in sudibus perforabit nares ejus.
19He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him .
20An extrahere poteris Leviathan hamo, et fune ligabis linguam ejus?
20Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.
21Numquid pones circulum in naribus ejus, aut armilla perforabis maxillam ejus?
21He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.
22Numquid multiplicabit ad te preces, aut loquetur tibi mollia?
22The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.
23Numquid feriet tecum pactum, et accipies eum servum sempiternum?
23Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.
24Numquid illudes ei quasi avi, aut ligabis eum ancillis tuis?
24He taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth through snares.
25Concident eum amici? divident illum negotiatores?
