Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Then Job answered,
1Respondens autem Job dixit:
2“How have you helped him who is without power! How have you saved the arm that has no strength!
2[Cujus adjutor es? numquid imbecillis? et sustentas brachium ejus qui non est fortis?
3How have you counseled him who has no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge!
3Cui dedisti consilium? forsitan illi qui non habet sapientiam: et prudentiam tuam ostendisti plurimam.
4To whom have you uttered words? Whose spirit came out of you?
4Quem docere voluisti? nonne eum qui fecit spiramentum?
5“The departed spirits tremble, those beneath the waters and all that live in them.
5Ecce gigantes gemunt sub aquis, et qui habitant cum eis.
6Sheol is naked before God, and Abaddon has no covering.
6Nudus est infernus coram illo, et nullum est operimentum perditioni.
7He stretches out the north over empty space, and hangs the earth on nothing.
7Qui extendit aquilonem super vacuum, et appendit terram super nihilum.
8He binds up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not burst under them.
8Qui ligat aquas in nubibus suis, ut non erumpant pariter deorsum.
9He encloses the face of his throne, and spreads his cloud on it.
9Qui tenet vultum solii sui, et expandit super illud nebulam suam.
10He has described a boundary on the surface of the waters, and to the confines of light and darkness.
10Terminum circumdedit aquis, usque dum finiantur lux et tenebræ.
11The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his rebuke.
11Columnæ cæli contremiscunt, et pavent ad nutum ejus.
12He stirs up the sea with his power, and by his understanding he strikes through Rahab.
12In fortitudine illius repente maria congregata sunt, et prudentia ejus percussit superbum.
13By his Spirit the heavens are garnished. His hand has pierced the swift serpent.
13Spiritus ejus ornavit cælos, et obstetricante manu ejus, eductus est coluber tortuosus.
14Behold, these are but the outskirts of his ways. How small a whisper do we hear of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand?”
14Ecce hæc ex parte dicta sunt viarum ejus: et cum vix parvam stillam sermonis ejus audierimus, quis poterit tonitruum magnitudinis illius intueri?]
