Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Job again took up his parable, and said,
1Addidit quoque Job, assumens parabolam suam, et dixit:
2“As God lives, who has taken away my right, the Almighty, who has made my soul bitter
2[Vivit Deus, qui abstulit judicium meum, et Omnipotens, qui ad amaritudinem adduxit animam meam.
3(for the length of my life is still in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils);
3Quia donec superest halitus in me, et spiritus Dei in naribus meis,
4surely my lips will not speak unrighteousness, neither will my tongue utter deceit.
4non loquentur labia mea iniquitatem, nec lingua mea meditabitur mendacium.
5Far be it from me that I should justify you. Until I die I will not put away my integrity from me.
5Absit a me ut justos vos esse judicem: donec deficiam, non recedam ab innocentia mea.
6I hold fast to my righteousness, and will not let it go. My heart will not reproach me so long as I live.
6Justificationem meam, quam cœpi tenere, non deseram: neque enim reprehendit me cor meum in omni vita mea.
7“Let my enemy be as the wicked. Let him who rises up against me be as the unrighteous.
7Sit ut impius, inimicus meus, et adversarius meus quasi iniquus.
8For what is the hope of the godless, when he is cut off, when God takes away his life?
8Quæ est enim spes hypocritæ, si avare rapiat, et non liberet Deus animam ejus?
9Will God hear his cry when trouble comes on him?
9Numquid Deus audiet clamorem ejus, cum venerit super eum angustia?
10Will he delight himself in the Almighty, and call on God at all times?
10aut poterit in Omnipotente delectari, et invocare Deum omni tempore?
11I will teach you about the hand of God. I will not conceal that which is with the Almighty.
11Docebo vos per manum Dei quæ Omnipotens habeat, nec abscondam.
12Behold, all of you have seen it yourselves; why then have you become altogether vain?
12Ecce vos omnes nostis: et quid sine causa vana loquimini?
13“This is the portion of a wicked man with God, the heritage of oppressors, which they receive from the Almighty.
13Hæc est pars hominis impii apud Deum, et hæreditas violentorum, quam ob Omnipotente suscipient.
14If his children are multiplied, it is for the sword. His offspring will not be satisfied with bread.
14Si multiplicati fuerint filii ejus, in gladio erunt, et nepotes ejus non saturabuntur pane:
15Those who remain of him will be buried in death. His widows will make no lamentation.
15qui reliqui fuerint ex eo sepelientur in interitu, et viduæ illius non plorabunt.
16Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare clothing as the clay;
16Si comportaverit quasi terram argentum, et sicut lutum præparaverit vestimenta:
17he may prepare it, but the just will put it on, and the innocent will divide the silver.
17præparabit quidem, sed justus vestietur illis, et argentum innocens dividet.
18He builds his house as the moth, as a booth which the watchman makes.
18Ædificavit sicut tinea domum suam, et sicut custos fecit umbraculum.
19He lies down rich, but he will not do so again. He opens his eyes, and he is not.
19Dives, cum dormierit, nihil secum auferet: aperiet oculos suos, et nihil inveniet.
20Terrors overtake him like waters. A storm steals him away in the night.
20Apprehendet eum quasi aqua inopia: nocte opprimet eum tempestas.
21The east wind carries him away, and he departs. It sweeps him out of his place.
21Tollet eum ventus urens, et auferet, et velut turbo rapiet eum de loco suo.
22For it hurls at him, and does not spare, as he flees away from his hand.
22Et mittet super eum, et non parcet: de manu ejus fugiens fugiet.
23Men will clap their hands at him, and will hiss him out of his place.
23Stringet super eum manus suas, et sibilabit super illum, intuens locum ejus.]
