Job 36

DOUAI-RHEIMS	NOVA VULGATA
1 Eliu also proceeded, and said :	1 Addens quoque Eliu haec locutus est:
2 Suffer me a little, and I will shew thee : for I have yet somewhat to speak in God's behalf.	2 “ Sustine me paululum, et indicabo tibi: adhuc enim habeo quod pro Deo loquar.
3 I will repeat my knowledge from the beginning, and I will prove my Maker just.	3 Repetam scientiam meam a longe et Factori meo tribuam iustitiam.
4 For indeed my words are without a lie, and perfect knowledge shall be proved to thee.	4 Vere enim absque mendacio sermones mei, et perfectus scientia adest tecum.
5 God doth not cast away the mighty, whereas he himself also is mighty.	5 Deus potens est; non abicit, potens virtute cordis.
6 But he saveth not the wicked, and he giveth judgment to the poor.	6 Non vivere faciet impium, sed iudicium pauperibus tribuit.
7 He will not take away his eyes from the just, and he placeth kings on the throne for ever, and they are exalted.	7 Non auferet a iusto oculos suos et reges in solio collocat in perpetuum, et illi eriguntur.
8 And if they shall be in chains, and be bound with the cords of poverty :	8 Et si fuerint vincti compedibus et vinciantur funibus paupertatis,
9 He shall shew them their works, and their wicked deeds, because they have been violent.	9 indicabit eis opera eorum et scelera eorum, quia violenti fuerunt.
10 He also shall open their ear, to correct them : and shall speak, that they may return from iniquity.	10 Revelabit quoque aurem eorum, ut corripiat, et loquetur, ut revertantur ab iniquitate.
11 If they shall hear and observe, they shall accomplish their days in good, and their years in glory.	11 Si audierint et observaverint, complebunt dies suos in bono et annos suos in deliciis.
12 But if they hear not, they shall pass by the sword, and shall be consumed in folly.	12 Si autem non audierint, transibunt per canalem mortis et consumentur in stultitia.
13 Dissemblers and crafty men prove the wrath of God, neither shall they cry when they are bound.	13 Impii corde sibi reponent iram Dei neque clamabunt, cum vincti fuerint.
14 Their soul shall die in a storm, and their life among the effeminate.	14 Morietur in iuventute anima eorum, et vita eorum in adulescentia.
15 He shall deliver the poor out of his distress, and shall open his ear in affliction.	15 Eripiet de angustia sua pauperem et revelabit in tribulatione aurem eius.
16 Therefore he shall set thee at large out of the narrow mouth, and which hath no foundation under it : and the rest of thy table shall be full of fatness.	16 Igitur salvabit te de ore angusto, amplitudo et non angustiae erunt sub te; requies autem mensae tuae erit plena pinguedine.
17 Thy cause hath been judged as that of the wicked, cause and judgment thou shalt recover.	17 Causa tua quasi impii iudicata est, causam iudiciumque tenebunt.
18 Therefore let not anger overcome thee to oppress any man : neither let multitude of gifts turn thee aside.	18 Cave, ne te seducat abundantia, nec multitudo donorum inclinet te.
19 Lay down thy greatness without tribulation, and all the mighty of strength.	19 Nonne proferetur clamor tuus nisi in angustia? Et omnes conatus roboris?
20 Prolong not the night that people may come up for them.	20 Ne inhies nocti, ut ascendat turba pro eis.
21 Beware thou turn not aside to iniquity : for this thou hast begun to follow after misery.	21 Cave, ne declines ad iniquitatem; propter hoc enim expertus es miseriam.
22 Behold, God is high in his strength, and none is like him among the lawgivers.	22 Ecce, Deus excelsus in fortitudine sua. Quis ei similis doctor?
23 Who can search out his ways? or who can say to him : Thou has wrought iniquity?	23 Quis poterit scrutari vias eius, aut quis potest ei dicere: “Operatus es iniquitatem”?
24 Remember that thou knowest not his work, concerning which men have sung.	24 Memento, ut magnifices opus eius, de quo cecinerunt viri.
25 All men see him, every one beholdeth afar off.	25 Omnes homines vident eum, unusquisque intuetur procul.
26 Behold, God is great, exceeding our knowledge : the number of his years is inestimable.	26 Ecce, Deus magnus vincens scientiam nostram; numerus annorum eius inaestimabilis.
27 He lifteth up the drops of rain, and poureth out showers like floods :	27 Qui aufert stillas pluviae et effundit imbres ad instar fluminis,
28 Which flow from the clouds that cover all above.	28 quos nubes effundunt, stillantes super homines multos.
29 If he will spread out clouds as his tent,	29 Profecto quis intellegit dilatationem nubium, strepitum tabernaculi eius?
30 And lighten with his light from above, he shall cover also the ends of the sea.	30 Ecce extendit circum se lumen suum et fundamenta maris texit.
31 For by these he judgeth people, and giveth food to many mortals.	31 Per haec enim iudicat populos et dat escas copiose.
32 In his hands he hideth the light, and commandeth it to come again.	32 In manibus abscondit lucem et praecipit ei, ut percutiat.
33 He sheweth his friend concerning it, that it is his possession, and that he may come up to it.	33 Fragor eius de eo annuntiat, zelans ira contra iniquitatem.
