Job 35

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	Bibbia Vulgata Clementina
¹ And Elihu said:	¹ Igitur Eliu hæc rursum locutus est :
² "Do you think this to be just? Do you say, 'It is my right before God,'	² Numquid æqua tibi videtur tua cogitatio, ut diceres : Justior sum Deo ?
³ that you ask, 'What advantage have I? How am I better off than if I had sinned?'	³ Dixisti enim : Non tibi placet quod rectum est : vel quid tibi proderit, si ego peccavero ?
⁴ I will answer you and your friends with you.	⁴ Itaque ego respondebo sermonibus tuis, et amicis tuis tecum.
⁵ Look at the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds, which are higher than you.	⁵ Suspice cælum, et intuere : et contemplare æthera quod altior te sit.
⁶ If you have sinned, what do you accomplish against him? And if your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to him?	⁶ Si peccaveris, quid ei nocebis ? et si multiplicatæ fuerint iniquitates tuæ, quid facies contra eum ?
⁷ If you are righteous, what do you give to him; or what does he receive from your hand?	⁷ Porro si juste egeris, quid donabis ei ? aut quid de manu tua accipiet ?
⁸ Your wickedness concerns a man like yourself, and your righteousness a son of man.	⁸ Homini qui similis tui est, nocebit impietas tua : et filium hominis adjuvabit justitia tua.
⁹ "Because of the multitude of oppressions people cry out; they call for help because of the arm of the mighty.	⁹ Propter multitudinem calumniatorum clamabunt, et ejulabunt propter vim brachii tyrannorum.
¹⁰ But none says, 'Where is God my Maker, who gives songs in the night,	¹⁰ Et non dixit : Ubi est Deus qui fecit me, qui dedit carmina in nocte ;
¹¹ who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth, and makes us wiser than the birds of the air?'	¹¹ qui docet nos super jumenta terræ, et super volucres cæli erudit nos ?
¹² There they cry out, but he does not answer, because of the pride of evil men.	¹² Ibi clamabunt, et non exaudiet, propter superbiam malorum.
¹³ Surely God does not hear an empty cry, nor does the Almighty regard it.	¹³ Non ergo frustra audiet Deus, et Omnipotens causas singulorum intuebitur.
¹⁴ How much less when you say that you do not see him, that the case is before him, and you are waiting for him!	¹⁴ Etiam cum dixeris : Non considerat : judicare coram illo, et expecta eum.
¹⁵ And now, because his anger does not punish, and he does not greatly heed transgression,	¹⁵ Nunc enim non infert furorem suum, nec ulciscitur scelus valde.
¹⁶ Job opens his mouth in empty talk, he multiplies words without knowledge."	¹⁶ Ergo Job frustra aperit os suum, et absque scientia verba multiplicat.
