1 Respondens autem Iob dixit:	1 When Job answered, and said:
2 “ Ergo vos estis soli homines, et vobiscum morietur sapientia.	2 Are you then men alone, and shall wisdom die with you?
3 Et mihi est cor sicut et vobis, nec inferior vestri sum; quis enim haec, quae nostis, ignorat?	3 I also have a heart as well as you: for who is ignorant of these things, which you know?
4 Qui deridetur ab amico suo sicut ego, invocabit Deum, et exaudiet eum; deridetur enim iusti integritas.	4 He that is mocked by his friends as I, shall call upon God and he will hear him: for the simplicity of the just man is laughed to scorn.

11 Nonne auris verba diiudicat, et palatum cibum sibi gustat?	11 Doth not the ear discern words, and the palate of him that eateth, the taste?

13 Apud ipsum est sapientia et fortitudo; ipse habet consilium et intellegentiam.	13 With him is wisdom and strength, he hath counsel and understanding.
14 Si destruxerit, nemo est, qui aedificet; si incluserit hominem, nullus est, qui aperiat.	14 If he pull down, there is no man that can build up: if he shut up a. man, there is none that can open.
