Jeremiah 10

KING JAMES BIBLE	VULGATA
1 Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel:	1 Audite verbum quod locutus est Dominus super vos, domus Israël.
2 Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.	2 Hæc dicit Dominus : Juxta vias gentium nolite discere, et a signis cæli nolite metuere, quæ timent gentes,
3 For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.	3 quia leges populorum vanæ sunt. Quia lignum de saltu præcidit opus manus artificis in ascia :
4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.	4 argento et auro decoravit illud : clavis et malleis compegit, ut non dissolvatur :
5 They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.	5 in similitudinem palmæ fabricata sunt, et non loquentur : portata tollentur, quia incedere non valent. Nolite ergo timere ea, quia nec male possunt facere, nec bene.
6 Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O LORD; thou art great, and thy name is great in might.	6 Non est similis tui, Domine : magnus es tu, et magnum nomen tuum in fortitudine.
7 Who would not fear thee, O King of nations? for to thee doth it appertain: forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like unto thee.	7 Quis non timebit te, o Rex gentium ? tuum est enim decus : inter cunctos sapientes gentium, et in universis regnis eorum, nullus est similis tui.
8 But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock is a doctrine of vanities.	8 Pariter insipientes et fatui probabuntur : doctrina vanitatis eorum lignum est.
9 Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the workman, and of the hands of the founder: blue and purple is their clothing: they are all the work of cunning men.	9 Argentum involutum de Tharsis affertur, et aurum de Ophaz : opus artificis et manus ærarii. Hyacinthus et purpura indumentum eorum : opus artificum universa hæc.
10 But the LORD is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation.	10 Dominus autem Deus verus est, ipse Deus vivens, et rex sempiternus. Ab indignatione ejus commovebitur terra, et non sustinebunt gentes comminationem ejus.
11 Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens.	11 Sic ergo dicetis eis : Dii qui cælos et terram non fecerunt, pereant de terra et de his quæ sub cælo sunt !
12 He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion.	12 Qui facit terram in fortitudine sua, præparat orbem in sapientia sua, et prudentia sua extendit cælos :
13 When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures.	13 ad vocem suam dat multitudinem aquarum in cælo, et elevat nebulas ab extremitatibus terræ : fulgura in pluviam facit, et educit ventum de thesauris suis.
14 Every man is brutish in his knowledge: every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.	14 Stultus factus est omnis homo a scientia : confusus est artifex omnis in sculptili, quoniam falsum est quod conflavit, et non est spiritus in eis.
15 They are vanity, and the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.	15 Vana sunt, et opus risu dignum : in tempore visitationis suæ peribunt.
16 The portion of Jacob is not like them: for he is the former of all things; and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: The LORD of hosts is his name.	16 Non est his similis pars Jacob : qui enim formavit omnia, ipse est, et Israël virga hæreditatis ejus : Dominus exercituum nomen illi.
17 Gather up thy wares out of the land, O inhabitant of the fortress.	17 Congrega de terra confusionem tuam, quæ habitas in obsidione :
18 For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this once, and will distress them, that they may find it so.	18 quia hæc dicit Dominus : Ecce ego longe projiciam habitatores terræ in hac vice, et tribulabo eos ita ut inveniantur.
19 Woe is me for my hurt! my wound is grievous: but I said, Truly this is a grief, and I must bear it.	19 Væ mihi super contritione mea : pessima plaga mea. Ego autem dixi : Plane hæc infirmitas mea est, et portabo illam.
20 My tabernacle is spoiled, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth of me, and they are not: there is none to stretch forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.	20 Tabernaculum meum vastatum est ; omnes funiculi mei dirupti sunt : filii mei exierunt a me, et non subsistunt. Non est qui extendat ultra tentorium meum, et erigat pelles meas.
21 For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the LORD: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered.	21 Quia stulte egerunt pastores, et Dominum non quæsierunt : propterea non intellexerunt, et omnis grex eorum dispersus est.
22 Behold, the noise of the bruit is come, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah desolate, and a den of dragons.	22 Vox auditionis ecce venit, et commotio magna de terra aquilonis : ut ponat civitates Juda solitudinem, et habitaculum draconum.
23 O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.	23 Scio, Domine, quia non est hominis via ejus, nec viri est ut ambulet, et dirigat gressus suos.
24 O LORD, correct me, but with judgment; not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing.	24 Corripe me, Domine, verumtamen in judicio, et non in furore tuo, ne forte ad nihilum redigas me.
25 Pour out thy fury upon the heathen that know thee not, and upon the families that call not on thy name: for they have eaten up Jacob, and devoured him, and consumed him, and have made his habitation desolate.	25 Effunde indignationem tuam super gentes quæ non cognoverunt te, et super provincias quæ nomen tuum non invocaverunt : quia comederunt Jacob, et devoraverunt eum, et consumpserunt illum, et decus ejus dissipaverunt.
