Comparison
Job 8
Douay-Rheims and Vulgata Clementina, verse by verse.
| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | The Baldad the Suhite answered, and said: | Respondens autem Baldad Suhites, dixit: |
| 2 | How long wilt thou speak these things, and how long shall the words of thy mouth be like a strong wind? | Usquequo loqueris talia, et spiritus multiplex sermones oris tui? |
| 3 | Doth God pervert judgment, or doth the Almighty overthrow that which is just? | Numquid Deus supplantat iudicium? aut Omnipotens subvertit quod iustum est? |
| 4 | Although thy children have sinned against him, and he hath left them in the hand of their iniquity: | Etiam si filii tui peccaverunt ei, et dimisit eos in manu iniquitatis suae: |
| 5 | Yet if thou wilt arise early to God, and wilt beseech the Almighty: | tu tamen si diluculo consurrexeris ad Deum, et Omnipotentem fueris deprecatus; |
| 6 | If thou wilt walk clean and upright, he will presently awake onto thee, and will make the dwelling of thy justice peaceable: | si mundus et rectus incesseris: statim evigilabit ad te, et pacatum reddet habitaculum iustitiae tuae, |
| 7 | Insomuch, that if thy former things were small, thy latter things would be multiplied exceedingly. | in tantum ut si priora tua fuerint parva, et novissima tua multiplicentur nimis. |
| 8 | For inquire of the former generation, and search diligently into the memory of the fathers: | Interroga enim generationem pristinam, et diligenter investiga patrum memoriam |
| 9 | (For we are but of yesterday, and are ignorant that our days upon earth are but a shadow:) | (hesterni quippe sumus, et ignoramus, quoniam sicut umbra dies nostri sunt super terram), |
| 10 | And they shall teach thee: they shall speak to thee, and utter words out of their hearts. | et ipsi docebunt te, loquentur tibi, et de corde suo proferent eloquia. |
| 11 | Can the rush be green without moisture? or a sedge-bush grow without water? | Numquid vivere potest scirpus absque humore? aut crescere carectum sine aqua? |
| 12 | When it is yet in flower, and is not plucked up with the hand, it withereth before all herbs. | Cum adhuc sit in flore, nec carpatur manu, ante omnes herbas arescit. |
| 13 | Even so are the ways of all that forget God, and the hope of the hypocrite shall perish: | Sic viae omnium qui obliviscuntur Deum, et spes hypocritae peribit. |
| 14 | His folly shall not please him, and his trust shall be like the spider’s web. | Non ei placebit vecordia sua, et sicut tela aranearum fiducia eius. |
| 15 | He shall lean upon his house, and it shall not stand: he shall prop it up, and it shall not rise: | Innitetur super domum suam, et non stabit; fulciet eam, et non consurget. |
| 16 | He seemeth to have moisture before the sun cometh, and at his rising his blossom shall shoot forth. | Humectus videtur antequam veniat sol, et in ortu suo germen eius egredietur. |
| 17 | His roots shall be thick upon a heap of stones, and among the stones he shall abide. | Super acervum petrarum radices eius densabuntur, et inter lapides commorabitur. |
| 18 | If one swallow him up out of his place, he shall deny him, and shall say: I know thee not. | Si absorbuerit eum de loco suo, negabit eum, et dicet: Non novi te. |
| 19 | For this is the joy of his way, that others may spring again out of the earth. | Haec est enim laetitia viae eius, ut rursum de terra alii germinentur. |
| 20 | God will not cast away the simple, nor reach out his hand to the evildoer: | Deus non proiiciet simplicem, nec porriget manum malignis, |
| 21 | Until thy mouth be filled with laughter, and thy lips with rejoicing. | donec impleatur risu os tuum, et labia tua iubilo. |
| 22 | They that hate thee, shall be clothed with confusion: and the dwelling of the wicked shall not stand. | Qui oderunt te induentur confusione, et tabernaculum impiorum non subsistet. |
