Douay-Rheims and Vulgata Clementina, verse by verse.
| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Woe to you that are wealthy in Sion, and to you that have confidence in the mountain of Samaria: ye great men, heads of the people, that go in with state into the house of Israel. | Vae qui opulenti estis in Sion, et confiditis in monte Samariae: optimates capita populorum, ingredientes pompatice domum Israël! |
| 2 | Pass ye over to Chalane, and see, and go from thence into Emath the great: and go down into Geth of the Philistines, and to all the best kingdoms of these: if their border be larger than your border. | Transite in Chalane, et videte, et ite inde in Emath magnam, et descendite in Geth Palaestinorum, et ad optima quaeque regna horum: si latior terminus eorum termino vestro est. |
| 3 | You that are separated unto the evil day: and that approach to the throne of iniquity; | Qui separati estis in diem malum, et appropinquatis solio iniquitatis; |
| 4 | You that sleep upon beds of ivory, and are wanton on your couches: that eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the midst of the herd; | qui dormitis in lectis eburneis, et lascivitis in stratis vestris; qui comeditis agnum de grege, et vitulos de medio armenti; |
| 5 | You that sing to the sound of the psaltery: they have thought themselves to have instruments of music like David; | qui canitis ad vocem psalterii, sicut David putaverunt se habere vasa cantici, |
| 6 | That drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the best ointments: and they are not concerned for the affliction of Joseph. | bibentes vinum in phialis, et optimo unguento delibuti, et nihil patiebantur super contritione Ioseph. |
| 7 | Wherefore now they shall go captive at the head of them that go into captivity: and the faction of the luxurious ones shall be taken away. | Quapropter nunc migrabunt in capite transmigrantium, et auferetur factio lascivientium. |
| 8 | The Lord God hath sworn by his own soul, saith the Lord the God of hosts: I detest the pride of Jacob, and I hate his houses, and I will deliver up the city with the inhabitants thereof. | Iuravit Dominus Deus in anima sua, dicit Dominus Deus exercituum: Detestor ego superbiam Iacob, et domos eius odi, et tradam civitatem cum habitatoribus suis. |
| 9 | And if there remain ten men in one house, they also shall die. | Quod si reliqui fuerint decem viri in domo una, et ipsi morientur. |
| 10 | And a man’s kinsman shall take him up, and shall burn him, that he may carry the bones out of the house; and he shall say to him that is in the inner rooms of the house: Is there yet any with thee? | Et tollet eum propinquus suus, et comburet eum, ut efferat ossa de domo; et dicet ei, qui in penetralibus domus est: Numquid adhuc est penes te? |
| 11 | And he shall answer: There is an end. And he shall any to him: Hold thy peace, and mention not the name of the Lord. | Et respondebit: Finis est. Et dicet ei: Tace, et non recorderis nominis Domini. |
| 12 | For behold the Lord hath commanded, and he will strike the greater house with breaches, and the lesser house with clefts. | Quia ecce Dominus mandabit, et percutiet domum maiorem ruinis, et domum minorem scissionibus. |
| 13 | Can horses run upon the rocks, or can any one plough with buffles? for you have turned judgment into bitterness, and the fruit of justice into wormwood. | Numquid currere queunt in petris equi, aut arari potest in bubalis? quoniam convertistis in amaritudinem iudicium, et fructum iustitiae in absinthium. |
| 14 | You that rejoice in a thing of nought: you that say: Have we not taken unto us horns by our own strength? | Qui laetamini in nihilo; qui dicitis: Numquid non in fortitudine nostra assumpsimus nobis cornua? |
| 15 | But behold, I will raise up a nation against you, O house of Israel, saith the Lord the God of hosts; and they shall destroy you from the entrance of Emath, even to the torrent of the desert. | Ecce enim suscitabo super vos, domus Israël, dicit Dominus Deus exercituum, gentem, et conteret vos ab introitu Emath usque ad torrentem deserti. |
