Douay-Rheims and Vulgata Clementina, verse by verse.
| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Then Baldad the Suhite answered, and said: | Respondens autem Baldad Suhites, dixit: |
| 2 | How long will you throw out words? understand first, and so let us speak. | Usque ad quem finem verba iactabitis? intelligite prius, et sic loquamur. |
| 3 | Why are we reputed as beasts, and counted vile before you? | Quare reputati sumus ut iumenta, et sorduimus coram vobis? |
| 4 | Thou that destroyest thy soul in thy fury, shall the earth be forsaken for thee, and shall rocks be removed out of their place? | Qui perdis animam tuam in furore tuo, numquid propter te derelinquetur terra, et transferentur rupes de loco suo? |
| 5 | Shall not the light of the wicked be extinguished, and the flame of his fire not shine? | Nonne lux impii extinguetur, nec splendebit flamma ignis eius? |
| 6 | The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and the lamp that is over him, shall be put out. | Lux obtenebrescet in tabernaculo illius, et lucerna quae super eum est extinguetur. |
| 7 | The step of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down headlong. | Arctabuntur gressus virtutis eius, et praecipitabit eum consilium suum. |
| 8 | For he hath thrust his feet into a net, and walketh in its meshes. | Immisit enim in rete pedes suos, et in maculis eius ambulat. |
| 9 | The sole of his foot shall be held in a snare, and thirst shall burn against him. | Tenebitur planta illius laqueo, et exardescet contra eum sitis. |
| 10 | A gin is hidden for him in the earth, and his trap upon the path. | Abscondita est in terra pedica eius, et decipula illius super semitam. |
| 11 | Fears shall terrify him on every side, and shall entangle his feet. | Undique terrebunt eum formidines, et involvent pedes eius. |
| 12 | Let his strength be wasted with famine, and let hunger invade his ribs. | Attenuetur fame robur eius, et inedia invadat costas illius. |
| 13 | Let it devour the beauty of his skin, let the firstborn death consume his arms. | Devoret pulchritudinem cutis eius; consumat brachia illius primogenita mors. |
| 14 | Let his confidence be rooted out of his tabernacle, and let destruction tread upon him like a king. | Avellatur de tabernaculo suo fiducia eius, et calcet super eum, quasi rex, interitus. |
| 15 | Let the companions of him that is not, dwell in his tabernacle, let brimstone be sprinkled in his tent. | Habitent in tabernaculo illius socii eius qui non est; aspergatur in tabernaculo eius sulphur. |
| 16 | Let his roots be dried up beneath, and his harvest destroyed above. | Deorsum radices eius siccentur: sursum autem atteratur messis eius. |
| 17 | Let the memory of him perish from the earth and let not his name be renowned in the streets. | Memoria illius pereat de terra, et non celebretur nomen eius in plateis. |
| 18 | He shall drive him out of light into darkness, and shall remove him out of the world. | Expellet eum de luce in tenebras, et de orbe transferet eum. |
| 19 | His seed shall not subsist, nor his offspring among his people, nor any remnants in his country. | Non erit semen eius, neque progenies in populo suo, nec ullae reliquiae in regionibus eius. |
| 20 | They that come after him shall be astonished at his day, and horror shall fall upon them that went before. | In die eius stupebunt novissimi, et primos invadet horror. |
| 21 | These men are the tabernacles of the wicked, and this the place of him that knoweth not God. | Haec sunt ergo tabernacula iniqui, et iste locus eius qui ignorat Deum. |
