Job 35

Douai-Rheims	Bibbia Vulgata Clementina
¹ Moreover Eliu spoke these words :	¹ Igitur Eliu hæc rursum locutus est :
² Doth thy thought seem right to thee, that thou shouldst say : I am more just than God?	² Numquid æqua tibi videtur tua cogitatio, ut diceres : Justior sum Deo ?
³ For thou saidst : That which is right doth not please thee : or what will it profit thee if I sin?	³ Dixisti enim : Non tibi placet quod rectum est : vel quid tibi proderit, si ego peccavero ?
⁴ Therefore I will answer thy words, and thy friends with thee.	⁴ Itaque ego respondebo sermonibus tuis, et amicis tuis tecum.
⁵ Look up to heaven and see, and behold the sky, that it is higher than thee.	⁵ Suspice cælum, et intuere : et contemplare æthera quod altior te sit.
⁶ If thou sin, what shalt thou hurt him? and if thy iniquities be multiplied, what shalt thou do against him?	⁶ Si peccaveris, quid ei nocebis ? et si multiplicatæ fuerint iniquitates tuæ, quid facies contra eum ?
⁷ And if thou do justly, what shalt thou give him, or what shall he receive of thy hand?	⁷ Porro si juste egeris, quid donabis ei ? aut quid de manu tua accipiet ?
⁸ Thy wickedness may hurt a man that is like thee : and thy justice may help the son of man.	⁸ Homini qui similis tui est, nocebit impietas tua : et filium hominis adjuvabit justitia tua.
⁹ By reason of the multitude of oppressions they shall cry out : and shall wail for the violence of the arm of tyrants.	⁹ Propter multitudinem calumniatorum clamabunt, et ejulabunt propter vim brachii tyrannorum.
¹⁰ And he hath not said : Where is God, who made me, who hath given songs in the night?	¹⁰ Et non dixit : Ubi est Deus qui fecit me, qui dedit carmina in nocte ;
¹¹ Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and instructeth us more than the fowls of the air.	¹¹ qui docet nos super jumenta terræ, et super volucres cæli erudit nos ?
¹² There shall they cry, and he will not hear, because of the pride of evil men.	¹² Ibi clamabunt, et non exaudiet, propter superbiam malorum.
¹³ God therefore will not hear in vain, and the Almighty will look into the causes of every one.	¹³ Non ergo frustra audiet Deus, et Omnipotens causas singulorum intuebitur.
¹⁴ Yea when thou shalt say : He considereth not : be judged before him, and expect him.	¹⁴ Etiam cum dixeris : Non considerat : judicare coram illo, et expecta eum.
¹⁵ For he doth not now bring on his fury, neither doth he revenge wickedness exceedingly.	¹⁵ Nunc enim non infert furorem suum, nec ulciscitur scelus valde.
¹⁶ Therefore Job openeth his mouth in vain, and multiplieth words without knowledge.	¹⁶ Ergo Job frustra aperit os suum, et absque scientia verba multiplicat.
