Douay-Rheims and Vulgata Clementina, verse by verse.
| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | And Eliphaz the Themanite, answered, and said: | Respondens autem Eliphaz Themanites, dixit: |
| 2 | Will a wise man answer as if he were speaking in the wind, and fill his stomach with burning heat? | Numquid sapiens respondebit quasi in ventum loquens, et implebit ardore stomachum suum? |
| 3 | Thou reprovest him by words, who is not equal to thee, and thou speakest that which is not good for thee. | Arguis verbis eum qui non est aequalis tibi, et loqueris quod tibi non expedit. |
| 4 | As much as is in thee, thou hast made void fear, and hast taken away prayers from before God. | Quantum in te est, evacuasti timorem, et tulisti preces coram Deo. |
| 5 | For thy iniquity hath taught thy mouth, and thou imitatest the tongue of blasphemers. | Docuit enim iniquitas tua os tuum, et imitaris linguam blasphemantium. |
| 6 | Thy own mouth shall condemn thee, and not I: and thy own lips shall answer thee. | Condemnabit te os tuum, et non ego: et labia tua respondebunt tibi. |
| 7 | Art thou the first man that was born, or wast thou made before the hills? | Numquid primus homo tu natus es, et ante colles formatus? |
| 8 | Hast thou heard God’s counsel, and shall his wisdom be inferior to thee? | numquid consilium Dei audisti, et inferior te erit eius sapientia? |
| 9 | What knowest thou that we are ignorant of? what dost thou understand that we know not? | Quid nosti quod ignoremus? quid intelligis quod nesciamus? |
| 10 | There are with us also aged and ancient men, much elder than thy fathers. | Et senes et antiqui sunt in nobis, multo vetustiores quam patres tui. |
| 11 | Is it a great matter that God should comfort thee? but thy wicked words hinder this. | Numquid grande est ut consoletur te Deus? sed verba tua prava hoc prohibent. |
| 12 | Why doth thy heart elevate thee, and why dost thou stare with thy eyes, as if they were thinking great things? | Quid te elevat cor tuum, et quasi magna cogitans attonitos habes oculos? |
| 13 | Why doth thy spirit swell against God, to utter such words out of thy mouth? | Quid tumet contra Deum spiritus tuus, ut proferas de ore tuo huiuscemodi sermones? |
| 14 | What is man that he should be without spot, and he that is born of a woman that he should appear just? | Quid est homo ut immaculatus sit, et ut iustus appareat natus de muliere? |
| 15 | Behold among his saints none is unchangeable, and the heavens are not pure in his sight. | Ecce inter sanctos eius nemo immutabilis, et caeli non sunt mundi in conspectu eius. |
| 16 | How much more is man abominable, and unprofitable, who drinketh iniquity like water? | Quanto magis abominabilis et inutilis homo, qui bibit quasi aquam iniquitatem? |
| 17 | I will shew thee, hear me: and I will tell thee what I have seen. | Ostendam tibi: audi me: quod vidi, narrabo tibi. |
| 18 | Wise men confess and hide not their fathers. | Sapientes confitentur, et non abscondunt patres suos: |
| 19 | To whom alone the earth was given, and no stranger hath passed among them. | quibus solis data est terra, et non transivit alienus per eos. |
| 20 | The wicked man is proud all his days, and the number of the years of his tyranny is uncertain. | Cunctis diebus suis impius superbit, et numerus annorum incertus est tyrannidis eius. |
| 21 | The sound of dread is always in his ears: and when there is peace, he always suspecteth treason. | Sonitus terroris semper in auribus illius: et cum pax sit, ille semper insidias suspicatur. |
| 22 | He believeth not that he may return from darkness to light, looking round about for the sword on every side. | Non credit quod reverti possit de tenebris ad lucem, circumspectans undique gladium. |
| 23 | When he moveth himself to seek bread, he knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand. | Cum se moverit ad quaerendum panem, novit quod paratus sit in manu eius tenebrarum dies. |
| 24 | Tribulation shall terrify him, and distress shall surround him, as a king that is prepared for the battle. | Terrebit eum tribulatio, et angustia vallabit eum, sicut regem qui praeparatur ad praelium. |
| 25 | For he hath stretched out his hand against God, and hath strengthened himself against the Almighty. | Tetendit enim adversus Deum manum suam, et contra Omnipotentem roboratus est. |
| 26 | He hath run against him with his neck raised up, and is armed with a fat neck. | Cucurrit adversus eum erecto collo, et pingui cervice armatus est. |
| 27 | Fatness hath covered his face, and the fat hangeth down on his sides. | Operuit faciem eius crassitudo, et de lateribus eius arvina dependet. |
| 28 | He hath dwelt in desolate cities, and in desert houses that are reduced into heaps. | Habitavit in civitatibus desolatis, et in domibus desertis, quae in tumulos sunt redactae. |
| 29 | He shall not be enriched, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he push his root in the earth. | Non ditabitur, nec perseverabit substantia eius, nec mittet in terra radicem suam. |
| 30 | He shall not depart out of darkness: the flame shall dry up his branches, and he shall be taken away by the breath of his own month. | Non recedet de tenebris: ramos eius arefaciet flamma, et auferetur spiritu oris sui. |
| 31 | He shall not believe, being vainly deceived by error, that he may be redeemed with any price. | Non credet, frustra errore deceptus, quod aliquo pretio redimendus sit. |
| 32 | Before his days be full he shall perish: and his hands shall wither away. | Antequam dies eius impleantur peribit, et manus eius arescent. |
| 33 | He shall be blasted as a vine when its grapes are in the first flower, and as an olive tree that casteth its flower. | Laedetur quasi vinea in primo flore botrus eius, et quasi oliva proiiciens florem suum. |
| 34 | For the congregation of the hypocrite is barren, and fire shall devour their tabernacles, who love to take bribes. | Congregatio enim hypocritae sterilis, et ignis devorabit tabernacula eorum qui munera libenter accipiunt. |
| 35 | He hath conceived sorrow, and hath brought forth iniquity, and his womb prepareth deceits. | Concepit dolorem, et peperit iniquitatem, et uterus eius praeparat dolos. |
