DRC, KJV, VulgClementine - Jeremiah - 10

10:1  Hear ye the word which the Lord hath spoken concerning you, O house of Israel.

10:1  Hear ye the word which the Lord speaketh unto you, O house of Israel:

10:1  Audite verbum quod locutus est Dominus super vos, domus Israël.

10:2  Thus saith the Lord: Learn not according to the ways of the Gentiles: and be not afraid of the signs of heaven, which the heathens fear:

10:2  Thus saith the Lord, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.

10:2  Hæc dicit Dominus : Juxta vias gentium nolite discere, et a signis cæli nolite metuere, quæ timent gentes,

10:3  For the laws of the people are vain: for the works of the hand of the workman hath cut a tree out of the forest with an axe.

10:3  For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.

10:3  quia leges populorum vanæ sunt. Quia lignum de saltu præcidit opus manus artificis in ascia :

10:4  He hath decked it with silver and gold: he hath put it together with nails and hammers, that it may not fall asunder.

10:4  They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.

10:4  argento et auro decoravit illud : clavis et malleis compegit, ut non dissolvatur :

10:5  They are framed after the likeness of a palm tree, and shall not speak: they must be carried to be removed, because they cannot go. Therefore fear them not, for they can neither do evil nor good.

10:5  They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.

10:5  in similitudinem palmæ fabricata sunt, et non loquentur : portata tollentur, quia incedere non valent. Nolite ergo timere ea, quia nec male possunt facere, nec bene.

10:6  There is none like to thee, O Lord: thou art great, and great is thy name in might.

10:6  Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O Lord; thou art great, and thy name is great in might.

10:6  Non est similis tui, Domine : magnus es tu, et magnum nomen tuum in fortitudine.

10:7  Who shall not fear thee, O king of nations? for thine is the glory: among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms there is none like unto thee.

10:7  Who would not fear thee, O King of nations? for to thee doth it appertain: forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like unto thee.

10:7  Quis non timebit te, o Rex gentium ? tuum est enim decus : inter cunctos sapientes gentium, et in universis regnis eorum, nullus est similis tui.

10:8  They shall be all proved together to be senseless and foolish: the doctrine of their vanity is wood.

10:8  But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock is a doctrine of vanities.

10:8  Pariter insipientes et fatui probabuntur : doctrina vanitatis eorum lignum est.

10:9  Silver spread into plates is brought from Tharsis, and gold from Ophaz: the work of the artificer, and of the hand of the coppersmith: violet and purple is their clothing: all these things are the work of artificers.

10:9  Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the workman, and of the hands of the founder: blue and purple is their clothing: they are all the work of cunning men.

10:9  Argentum involutum de Tharsis affertur, et aurum de Ophaz : opus artificis et manus ærarii. Hyacinthus et purpura indumentum eorum : opus artificum universa hæc.

10:10  But the Lord is the true God: he is the living God, and the everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his threatening.

10:10  But the Lord is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation.

10:10  Dominus autem Deus verus est, ipse Deus vivens, et rex sempiternus. Ab indignatione ejus commovebitur terra, et non sustinebunt gentes comminationem ejus.

10:11  Thus then shall you say to them: The gods that have not made heaven and earth, let them perish from the earth, and from among those places that are under heaven.

10:11  Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens.

10:11  Sic ergo dicetis eis : Dii qui cælos et terram non fecerunt, pereant de terra et de his quæ sub cælo sunt !

10:12  He that maketh the earth by his power, that prepareth the world by his wisdom, and stretcheth out the heavens by his knowledge.

10:12  He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion.

10:12  Qui facit terram in fortitudine sua, præparat orbem in sapientia sua, et prudentia sua extendit cælos :

10:13  At his voice he giveth a multitude of waters in the heaven, and lifteth up the clouds from the ends of the earth: he maketh lightnings for rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures.

10:13  When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures.

10:13  ad vocem suam dat multitudinem aquarum in cælo, et elevat nebulas ab extremitatibus terræ : fulgura in pluviam facit, et educit ventum de thesauris suis.

10:14  Every man is become a fool for knowledge, every artist is confounded in his graven idol: for what he hath cast is false, and there is no spirit in them.

10:14  Every man is brutish in his knowledge: every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.

10:14  Stultus factus est omnis homo a scientia : confusus est artifex omnis in sculptili, quoniam falsum est quod conflavit, et non est spiritus in eis.

10:15  They are vain things, and a ridiculous work: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.

10:15  They are vanity, and the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.

10:15  Vana sunt, et opus risu dignum : in tempore visitationis suæ peribunt.

10:16  The portion of Jacob is not like these: for it is he who formed all things: and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: the Lord of hosts is his name.

10:16  The portion of Jacob is not like them: for he is the former of all things; and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: The Lord of hosts is his name.

10:16  Non est his similis pars Jacob : qui enim formavit omnia, ipse est, et Israël virga hæreditatis ejus : Dominus exercituum nomen illi.

10:17  Gather up thy shame out of the land, thou that dwellest in a siege.

10:17  Gather up thy wares out of the land, O inhabitant of the fortress.

10:17  Congrega de terra confusionem tuam, quæ habitas in obsidione :

10:18  For thus saith he Lord: Behold I will cast away far off the inhabitants of the land at this time: and I will afflict them, so that they may be found.

10:18  For thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this once, and will distress them, that they may find it so.

10:18  quia hæc dicit Dominus : Ecce ego longe projiciam habitatores terræ in hac vice, et tribulabo eos ita ut inveniantur.

10:19  Woe is me for my destruction, my wound is very grievous. But I said: Truly this is my own evil, and I will bear it.

10:19  Woe is me for my hurt! my wound is grievous: but I said, Truly this is a grief, and I must bear it.

10:19  Væ mihi super contritione mea : pessima plaga mea. Ego autem dixi : Plane hæc infirmitas mea est, et portabo illam.

10:20  My tabernacle is laid waste, all my cords are broken: my children are gone out from me, and they are not: there is none to stretch forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.

10:20  My tabernacle is spoiled, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth of me, and they are not: there is none to stretch forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.

10:20  Tabernaculum meum vastatum est ; omnes funiculi mei dirupti sunt : filii mei exierunt a me, et non subsistunt. Non est qui extendat ultra tentorium meum, et erigat pelles meas.

10:21  Because the pastors have done foolishly, and have not sought the Lord: therefore have they not understood, and all their flock is scattered.

10:21  For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the Lord: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered.

10:21  Quia stulte egerunt pastores, et Dominum non quæsierunt : propterea non intellexerunt, et omnis grex eorum dispersus est.

10:22  Behold the sound of a noise cometh, a great commotion out of the land of the north: to make the cities of Juda a desert, and a dwelling for dragons.

10:22  Behold, the noise of the bruit is come, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah desolate, and a den of dragons.

10:22  Vox auditionis ecce venit, et commotio magna de terra aquilonis : ut ponat civitates Juda solitudinem, et habitaculum draconum.

10:23  I know, O Lord, that the way of a man is not his: neither is it in a man to walk, and to direct his steps.

10:23  O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.

10:23  Scio, Domine, quia non est hominis via ejus, nec viri est ut ambulet, et dirigat gressus suos.

10:24  Correct me, O Lord, but yet with judgment: and not in thy fury, lest thou bring me to nothing.

10:24  O Lord, correct me, but with judgment; not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing.

10:24  Corripe me, Domine, verumtamen in judicio, et non in furore tuo, ne forte ad nihilum redigas me.

10:25  Pour out thy indignation upon the nations that have not known thee, and upon the provinces that have not called upon thy name: because they have eaten up Jacob, and devoured him, and consumed him, and have destroyed his glory.

10:25  Pour out thy fury upon the heathen that know thee not, and upon the families that call not on thy name: for they have eaten up Jacob, and devoured him, and consumed him, and have made his habitation desolate.

10:25  Effunde indignationem tuam super gentes quæ non cognoverunt te, et super provincias quæ nomen tuum non invocaverunt : quia comederunt Jacob, et devoraverunt eum, et consumpserunt illum, et decus ejus dissipaverunt.
