Job 35

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	VULGATA
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.
