Job 17

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	VULGATA
1 My spirit will be wasted, my days will be shortened, and only the grave will left for me.	1 Spiritus meus attenuabitur ; dies mei breviabuntur : et solum mihi superest sepulchrum.
2 I have not sinned, yet my eye remains in bitterness.	2 Non peccavi, et in amaritudinibus moratur oculus meus.
3 Free me, O Lord, and set me beside you, and let the hand of anyone you wish fight against me.	3 Libera me, Domine, et pone me juxta te, et cujusvis manus pugnet contra me.
4 You have set their heart far from discipline; therefore, they will not be praised.	4 Cor eorum longe fecisti a disciplina : propterea non exaltabuntur.
5 He promises prey to his companions, but the eyes of his sons will grow faint.	5 Prædam pollicetur sociis, et oculi filiorum ejus deficient.
6 He has posted me like a proverb to the people, and I am an example in their presence.	6 Posuit me quasi in proverbium vulgi, et exemplum sum coram eis.
7 My eyesight has been clouded by indignation, and my limbs have been reduced, as if to nothing.	7 Caligavit ab indignatione oculus meus, et membra mea quasi in nihilum redacta sunt.
8 The just will be astounded over this, and the innocent will be stirred up against the hypocrite.	8 Stupebunt justi super hoc, et innocens contra hypocritam suscitabitur.
9 And the just will cling to his way, and clean hands will increase strength.	9 Et tenebit justus viam suam, et mundis manibus addet fortitudinem.
10 Therefore, be converted, all of you, and approach, for I do not find in you any wisdom.	10 Igitur omnes vos convertimini, et venite, et non inveniam in vobis ullum sapientem.
11 My days have passed away; my thoughts have been scattered, tormenting my heart.	11 Dies mei transierunt ; cogitationes meæ dissipatæ sunt, torquentes cor meum.
12 They have turned night into day, and I hope for light again after the darkness.	12 Noctem verterunt in diem, et rursum post tenebras spero lucem.
13 If I should wait, the underworld is my house, and in darkness I have spread out my bed.	13 Si sustinuero, infernus domus mea est, et in tenebris stravi lectulum meum.
14 I have said to decay and to worms: “You are my father, my mother, and my sister.”	14 Putredini dixi : Pater meus es ; Mater mea, et soror mea, vermibus.
15 Therefore, where is my expectation now, and who is it that considers my patience?	15 Ubi est ergo nunc præstolatio mea ? et patientiam meam quis considerat ?
16 Everything of mine will descend into the deepest underworld; do you think that, in that place at least, there will be rest for me?	16 In profundissimum infernum descendent omnia mea : putasne saltem ibi erit requies mihi ?
