Clementine Vulgate, 1598
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Respondens autem Eliphaz Themanites, dixit:
1Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
2[Si cœperimus loqui tibi, forsitan moleste accipies; sed conceptum sermonem tenere quis poterit?
2If we assay to commune with thee, wilt thou be grieved? but who can withhold himself from speaking?
3Ecce docuisti multos, et manus lassas roborasti;
3Behold, thou hast instructed many, and thou hast strengthened the weak hands.
4vacillantes confirmaverunt sermones tui, et genua trementia confortasti.
4Thy words have upholden him that was falling, and thou hast strengthened the feeble knees.
5Nunc autem venit super te plaga, et defecisti; tetigit te, et conturbatus es.
5But now it is come upon thee, and thou faintest; it toucheth thee, and thou art troubled.
6Ubi est timor tuus, fortitudo tua, patientia tua, et perfectio viarum tuarum?
6Is not this thy fear, thy confidence, thy hope, and the uprightness of thy ways?
7Recordare, obsecro te, quis umquam innocens periit? aut quando recti deleti sunt?
7Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished, being innocent? or where were the righteous cut off?
8Quin potius vidi eos qui operantur iniquitatem, et seminant dolores, et metunt eos,
8Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same.
9flante Deo perisse, et spiritu iræ ejus esse consumptos.
9By the blast of God they perish, and by the breath of his nostrils are they consumed.
10Rugitus leonis, et vox leænæ, et dentes catulorum leonum contriti sunt.
10The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, and the teeth of the young lions, are broken.
11Tigris periit, eo quod non haberet prædam, et catuli leonis dissipati sunt.
11The old lion perisheth for lack of prey, and the stout lion’s whelps are scattered abroad.
12Porro ad me dictum est verbum absconditum, et quasi furtive suscepit auris mea venas susurri ejus.
12Now a thing was secretly brought to me, and mine ear received a little thereof.
13In horrore visionis nocturnæ, quando solet sopor occupare homines,
13In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falleth on men,
14pavor tenuit me, et tremor, et omnia ossa mea perterrita sunt;
14Fear came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones to shake.
15et cum spiritus, me præsente, transiret, inhorruerunt pili carnis meæ.
15Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up:
16Stetit quidam, cujus non agnoscebam vultum, imago coram oculis meis, et vocem quasi auræ lenis audivi.
16It stood still, but I could not discern the form thereof: an image was before mine eyes, there was silence, and I heard a voice, saying ,
17Numquid homo, Dei comparatione, justificabitur? aut factore suo purior erit vir?
17Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be more pure than his maker?
18Ecce qui serviunt ei, non sunt stabiles, et in angelis suis reperit pravitatem;
18Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his angels he charged with folly:
19quanto magis hi qui habitant domos luteas, qui terrenum habent fundamentum, consumentur velut a tinea?
19How much less in them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, which are crushed before the moth?
20De mane usque ad vesperam succidentur; et quia nullus intelligit, in æternum peribunt.
20They are destroyed from morning to evening: they perish for ever without any regarding it .
21Qui autem reliqui fuerint, auferentur ex eis; morientur, et non in sapientia.]
21Doth not their excellency which is in them go away? they die, even without wisdom.
