| 1 | Then Eliphaz the Themanite answered, and said: | Respondens autem Eliphaz Themanites, dixit: |
| 2 | Can man be compared with God, even though he were of perfect knowledge? | Numquid Deo potest comparari homo, etiam cum perfectae fuerit scientiae? |
| 3 | What doth it profit God if thou be just? or what dost thou give him if thy way be unspotted? | Quid prodest Deo, si iustus fueris? aut quid ei confers, si immaculata fuerit via tua? |
| 4 | Shall he reprove thee for fear, and come with thee into judgment: | Numquid timens arguet te, et veniet tecum in iudicium, |
| 5 | And not for thy manifold wickedness, and thy infinite iniquities? | et non propter malitiam tuam plurimam, et infinitas iniquitates tuas? |
| 6 | For thou hast taken away the pledge of thy brethren without cause, and stripped the naked of their clothing. | Abstulisti enim pignus fratrum tuorum sine causa, et nudos spoliasti vestibus. |
| 7 | Thou hast not given water to the weary, thou hast withdrawn bread from the hungry. | Aquam lasso non dedisti, et esurienti subtraxisti panem. |
| 8 | In the strength of thy arm thou didst possess the land, and being the most mighty thou holdest it. | In fortitudine brachii tui possidebas terram, et potentissimus obtinebas eam. |
| 9 | Thou hast sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless thou hast broken in pieces. | Viduas dimisisti vacuas, et lacertos pupillorum comminuisti. |
| 10 | Therefore art thou surrounded with snares, and sudden fear troubleth thee. | Propterea circumdatus es laqueis, et conturbat te formido subita. |
| 11 | And didst thou think that thou shouldst not see darkness, and that thou shouldst not be covered with the violence of overflowing waters? | Et putabas te tenebras non visurum, et impetu aquarum inundantium non oppressum iri? |
| 12 | Dost not thou think that God is higher than heaven, and is elevated above the height of the stars? | an non cogitas quod Deus excelsior caelo sit, et super stellarum verticem sublimetur? |
| 13 | And thou sayst: What doth God know? and he judgeth as it were through a mist. | Et dicis: Quid enim novit Deus? et quasi per caliginem iudicat. |
| 14 | The clouds are his covert, and he doth not consider our things, and he walketh about the poles of heaven. | Nubes latibulum eius, nec nostra considerat, et circa cardines caeli perambulat. |
| 15 | Dost thou desire to keep the path of ages, which wicked men have trodden? | Numquid semitam saeculorum custodire cupis, quam calcaverunt viri iniqui, |
| 16 | Who were taken away before their time, and a flood hath overthrown their foundation. | qui sublati sunt ante tempus suum, et fluvius subvertit fundamentum eorum? |
| 17 | Who said to God: Depart from us: and looked upon the Almighty as if he could do nothing: | Qui dicebant Deo: Recede a nobis: et quasi nihil posset facere Omnipotens, aestimabant eum, |
| 18 | Whereas he had filled their houses with good things: whose way of thinking be far from me. | cum ille implesset domos eorum bonis: quorum sententia procul sit a me. |
| 19 | The just shall see, and shall rejoice, and the innocent shall laugh them to scorn. | Videbunt iusti, et laetabuntur, et innocens subsannabit eos: |
| 20 | Is not their exaltation cut down, and hath not fire devoured the remnants of them? | nonne succisa est erectio eorum? et reliquias eorum devoravit ignis? |
| 21 | Submit thyself then to him, and be at peace: and thereby thou shalt have the best fruits. | Acquiesce igitur ei, et habeto pacem, et per haec habebis fructus optimos. |
| 22 | Receive the law of his mouth, and lay up his words in thy heart. | Suscipe ex ore illius legem, et pone sermones eius in corde tuo. |
| 23 | If thou wilt return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, and shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacle. | Si reversus fueris ad Omnipotentem, aedificaberis, et longe facies iniquitatem a tabernaculo tuo. |
| 24 | He shall give for earth flint, and for flint torrents of gold. | Dabit pro terra silicem, et pro silice torrentes aureos. |
| 25 | And the Almighty shall be against thy enemies, and silver shall be heaped together for thee. | Eritque Omnipotens contra hostes tuos, et argentum coacervabitur tibi. |
| 26 | Then shalt thou abound in delights in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face to God. | Tunc super Omnipotentem deliciis afflues, et elevabis ad Deum faciem tuam. |
| 27 | Thou shalt pray to him, and he will hear thee, and thou shalt pay vows. | Rogabis eum, et exaudiet te, et vota tua reddes. |
| 28 | Thou shalt decree a thing, and it I shall come to thee, and light shall shine in thy ways. | Decernes rem, et veniet tibi, et in viis tuis splendebit lumen. |
| 29 | For he that hath been humbled, shall be in glory: and he that shall bow down his eyes, he shall be saved. | Qui enim humiliatus fuerit, erit in gloria, et qui inclinaverit oculos, ipse salvabitur. |
| 30 | The innocent shall be saved, and he shall be saved by the cleanness of his hands. | Salvabitur innocens: salvabitur autem in munditia manuum suarum. |
