Comparison
Job 13
Douay-Rheims and Vulgata Clementina, verse by verse.
| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Behold my eye hath seen all these things, and my ear hath heard them, and I have understood them all. | Ecce omnia haec vidit oculus meus, et audivit auris mea, et intellexi singula. |
| 2 | According to your knowledge I also know: neither am I inferior to you. | Secundum scientiam vestram et ego novi: nec inferior vestri sum. |
| 3 | But yet I will speak to the Almighty, and I desire to reason with God. | Sed tamen ad Omnipotentem loquar, et disputare cum Deo cupio: |
| 4 | Having first shewn that you are forgers of lies, and maintainers of perverse opinions. | prius vos ostendens fabricatores mendacii, et cultores perversorum dogmatum. |
| 5 | And I wish you would hold your peace, that you might be thought to be wise men. | Atque utinam taceretis, ut putaremini esse sapientes. |
| 6 | Hear ye therefore my reproof, and attend to the judgment of my lips. | Audite ergo correptionem meam, et iudicium labiorum meorum attendite. |
| 7 | Hath God any need of your lie, that you should speak deceitfully for him? | Numquid Deus indiget vestro mendacio, ut pro illo loquamini dolos? |
| 8 | Do you accept his person, and do you endeavour to judge for God? | numquid faciem eius accipitis, et pro Deo iudicare nitimini? |
| 9 | Or shall it please him, from whom nothing can be concealed? or shall he be deceived as a man, with your deceitful dealings? | aut placebit ei quem celare nihil potest? aut decipietur, ut homo, vestris fraudulentiis? |
| 10 | He shall reprove you, because in secret you accept his person. | Ipse vos arguet, quoniam in abscondito faciem eius accipitis. |
| 11 | As soon as he shall move himself, he shall trouble you: and his dread shall fall upon you. | Statim ut se commoverit, turbabit vos, et terror eius irruet super vos. |
| 12 | Your remembrance shall be compared to ashes, and your necks shall be brought to clay. | Memoria vestra comparabitur cineri, et redigentur in lutum cervices vestrae. |
| 13 | Hold your peace a little while, that I may speak whatsoever my mind shall suggest to me. | Tacete paulisper, ut loquar quodcumque mihi mens suggesserit. |
| 14 | Why do I tear my flesh with my teeth, and carry my soul in my hands? | Quare lacero carnes meas dentibus meis, et animam meam porto in manibus meis? |
| 15 | Although he should bill me, I will trust in him: but yet I will reprove my ways in his sight. | Etiam si occiderit me, in ipso sperabo: verumtamen vias meas in conspectu eius arguam. |
| 16 | And he shall be my saviour: for no hypocrite shall come before his presence. | Et ipse erit salvator meus: non enim veniet in conspectu eius omnis hypocrita. |
| 17 | Hear ye my speech, and receive with Sour ears hidden truths. | Audite sermonem meum, et aenigmata percipite auribus vestris. |
| 18 | If I shall be judged, I know that I shall be found just. | Si fuero iudicatus, scio quod iustus inveniar. |
| 19 | Who is he that will plead against me? let him come: why am I consumed holding my peace? | Quis est qui iudicetur mecum? veniat: quare tacens consumor? |
| 20 | Two things only do not to me, and then from thy face I shall not be hid: | Duo tantum ne facias mihi, et tunc a facie tua non abscondar: |
| 21 | Withdraw thy hand far from me, and let not thy dread terrify me. | manum tuam longe fac a me, et formido tua non me terreat. |
| 22 | Call me, and I will answer thee: or else I will speak, and do thou answer me. | Voca me, et ego respondebo tibi: aut certe loquar, et tu responde mihi. |
| 23 | How many are my iniquities and sins? make me know my crimes and offences. | Quantas habeo iniquitates et peccata? scelera mea et delicta ostende mihi. |
| 24 | Why hidest thou thy face, and thinkest me thy enemy? | Cur faciem tuam abscondis, et arbitraris me inimicum tuum? |
| 25 | Against a leaf, that is carried away with the wind, thou shewest thy power, and thou pursuest a dry straw. | Contra folium, quod vento rapitur, ostendis potentiam tuam, et stipulam siccam persequeris: |
| 26 | For thou writest bitter things against me, and wilt consume me for the sins of my youth. | scribis enim contra me amaritudines, et consumere me vis peccatis adolescentiae meae. |
| 27 | Thou hast put my feet in the stocks, and hast observed all my paths, and hast considered the steps of my feet: | Posuisti in nervo pedem meum, et observasti omnes semitas meas, et vestigia pedum meorum considerasti: |
| 28 | Who am to be consumed as rottenness, and as a garment that is moth-eaten. | qui quasi putredo consumendus sum, et quasi vestimentum quod comeditur a tinea. |
