DRC, VulgClementine, KJV - Job - 34

34:1  And Eliu continued his discourse, and said:

34:1  Pronuntians itaque Eliu, etiam hæc locutus est :

34:1  Furthermore Elihu answered and said,

34:2  Hear ye, wise men, my words, and ye learned, hearken to me:

34:2  Audite, sapientes, verba mea : et eruditi, auscultate me.

34:2  Hear my words, O ye wise men; and give ear unto me, ye that have knowledge.

34:3  For the ear trieth words, and the mouth discerneth meats by the taste.

34:3  Auris enim verba probat, et guttur escas gustu dijudicat.

34:3  For the ear trieth words, as the mouth tasteth meat.

34:4  Let us choose to us judgment, and let us see among ourselves what is the best.

34:4  Judicium eligamus nobis, et inter nos videamus quid sit melius.

34:4  Let us choose to us judgment: let us know among ourselves what is good.

34:5  For Job hath said: I am just, and God hath overthrown my judgment.

34:5  Quia dixit Job : Justus sum, et Deus subvertit judicium meum.

34:5  For Job hath said, I am righteous: and God hath taken away my judgment.

34:6  For in judging me there is a lie: my arrow is violent without any sin.

34:6  In judicando enim me mendacium est : violenta sagitta mea absque ullo peccato.

34:6  Should I lie against my right? my wound is incurable without transgression.

34:7  What man is there like Job, who drinketh up scorning like water?

34:7  Quis est vir ut est Job, qui bibit subsannationem quasi aquam :

34:7  What man is like Job, who drinketh up scorning like water?

34:8  Who goeth in company with them that work iniquity, and walketh with wicked men?

34:8  qui graditur cum operantibus iniquitatem, et ambulat cum viris impiis ?

34:8  Which goeth in company with the workers of iniquity, and walketh with wicked men.

34:9  For he hath said: Man shall not please God, although he run with him.

34:9  Dixit enim : Non placebit vir Deo, etiam si cucurrerit cum eo.

34:9  For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothing that he should delight himself with God.

34:10  Therefore, ye men of understanding, hear me: far from God be wickedness, and iniquity from the Almighty.

34:10  Ideo, viri cordati, audite me : absit a Deo impietas, et ab Omnipotente iniquitas.

34:10  Therefore hearken unto me, ye men of understanding: far be it from God, that he should do wickedness; and from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity.

34:11  For he will render to a man his work, and according to the ways of every one he will reward them.

34:11  Opus enim hominis reddet ei, et juxta vias singulorum restituet eis.

34:11  For the work of a man shall he render unto him, and cause every man to find according to his ways.

34:12  For in very deed God will not condemn without cause, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment.

34:12  Vere enim Deus non condemnabit frustra, nec Omnipotens subvertet judicium.

34:12  Yea, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment.

34:13  What other hath he appointed over the earth? or whom hath he set over the world which he made?

34:13  Quem constituit alium super terram ? aut quem posuit super orbem quem fabricatus est ?

34:13  Who hath given him a charge over the earth? or who hath disposed the whole world?

34:14  If he turn his heart to him, he shall draw his spirit and breath unto himself.

34:14  Si direxerit ad eum cor suum, spiritum illius et flatum ad se trahet.

34:14  If he set his heart upon man, if he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath;

34:15  All flesh shall perish together, and man shall return into ashes.

34:15  Deficiet omnis caro simul, et homo in cinerem revertetur.

34:15  All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust.

34:16  If then thou hast understanding, hear what is said, and hearken to the voice of my words.

34:16  Si habes ergo intellectum, audi quod dicitur, et ausculta vocem eloquii mei :

34:16  If now thou hast understanding, hear this: hearken to the voice of my words.

34:17  Can he be healed that loveth not judgment? and how dost thou so far condemn him that is just?

34:17  numquid qui non amat judicium sanari potest ? et quomodo tu eum qui justus est in tantum condemnas ?

34:17  Shall even he that hateth right govern? and wilt thou condemn him that is most just?

34:18  Who saith to the king: Thou art an apostate: who calleth rulers ungodly:

34:18  Qui dicit regi : Apostata ; qui vocat duces impios ;

34:18  Is it fit to say to a king, Thou art wicked? and to princes, Ye are ungodly?

34:19  Who accepteth not the persons of princes: nor hath regarded the tyrant, when he contended against the poor man: for all are the work of his hands.

34:19  qui non accipit personas principum, nec cognovit tyrannum cum disceptaret contra pauperem : opus enim manuum ejus sunt universi.

34:19  How much less to him that accepteth not the persons of princes, nor regardeth the rich more than the poor? for they all are the work of his hands.

34:20  They shall suddenly die, and the people shall be troubled at midnight, and they shall pass, and take away the violent without hand.

34:20  Subito morientur, et in media nocte turbabuntur populi : et pertransibunt, et auferent violentum absque manu.

34:20  In a moment shall they die, and the people shall be troubled at midnight, and pass away: and the mighty shall be taken away without hand.

34:21  For his eyes are upon the ways of men, and he considereth all their steps.

34:21  Oculi enim ejus super vias hominum, et omnes gressus eorum considerat.

34:21  For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his goings.

34:22  There is no darkness, and there is no shadow of death, where they may be hid who work iniquity.

34:22  Non sunt tenebræ, et non est umbra mortis, ut abscondantur ibi qui operantur iniquitatem,

34:22  There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.

34:23  For it is no longer in the power of man to enter into judgment with God.

34:23  neque enim ultra in hominis potestate est, ut veniat ad Deum in judicium.

34:23  For he will not lay upon man more than right; that he should enter into judgment with God.

34:24  He shall break in pieces many and innumerable, and shall make others to stand in their stead.

34:24  Conteret multos, et innumerabiles, et stare faciet alios pro eis.

34:24  He shall break in pieces mighty men without number, and set others in their stead.

34:25  For he knoweth their works: and therefore he shall bring night on them, and they shall be destroyed.

34:25  Novit enim opera eorum, et idcirco inducet noctem, et conterentur.

34:25  Therefore he knoweth their works, and he overturneth them in the night, so that they are destroyed.

34:26  He hath struck them, as being wicked, in open sight.

34:26  Quasi impios percussit eos in loco videntium :

34:26  He striketh them as wicked men in the open sight of others;

34:27  Who as it were on purpose have revolted from him, and would not understand all his ways:

34:27  qui quasi de industria recesserunt ab eo, et omnes vias ejus intelligere noluerunt :

34:27  Because they turned back from him, and would not consider any of his ways:

34:28  So that they caused the cry of the needy to come to him, and he heard the voice of the poor.

34:28  ut pervenire facerent ad eum clamorem egeni, et audiret vocem pauperum.

34:28  So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him, and he heareth the cry of the afflicted.

34:29  For when he granteth peace, who is there that can condemn? When he hideth his countenance, who is there that can behold him, whether it regard nations, or all men?

34:29  Ipso enim concedente pacem, quis est qui condemnet ? ex quo absconderit vultum, quis est qui contempletur eum, et super gentes, et super omnes homines ?

34:29  When he giveth quietness, who then can make trouble? and when he hideth his face, who then can behold him? whether it be done against a nation, or against a man only:

34:30  Who maketh a man that is a hypocrite to reign for the sins of the people.

34:30  Qui regnare facit hominem hypocritam propter peccata populi.

34:30  That the hypocrite reign not, lest the people be ensnared.

34:31  Seeing then I have spoken of God, I will not hinder thee in thy turn.

34:31  Quia ergo ego locutus sum ad Deum, te quoque non prohibebo.

34:31  Surely it is meet to be said unto God, I have borne chastisement, I will not offend any more:

34:32  If I have erred, teach thou me: if I have spoken iniquity, I will add no more.

34:32  Si erravi, tu doce me ; si iniquitatem locutus sum, ultra non addam.

34:32  That which I see not teach thou me: if I have done iniquity, I will do no more.

34:33  Doth God require it of thee, because it hath displeased thee? for thou begannest to speak, and not I: but if thou know any thing better, speak.

34:33  Numquid a te Deus expetit eam, quia displicuit tibi ? tu enim cœpisti loqui, et non ego : quod si quid nosti melius, loquere.

34:33  Should it be according to thy mind? he will recompense it, whether thou refuse, or whether thou choose; and not I: therefore speak what thou knowest.

34:34  Let men of understanding speak to me, and let a wise man hearken to me.

34:34  Viri intelligentes loquantur mihi, et vir sapiens audiat me.

34:34  Let men of understanding tell me, and let a wise man hearken unto me.

34:35  But Job hath spoken foolishly, and his words sound not discipline.

34:35  Job autem stulte locutus est, et verba illius non sonant disciplinam.

34:35  Job hath spoken without knowledge, and his words were without wisdom.

34:36  My father, let Job be tried even to the end: cease not from the man of iniquity.

34:36  Pater mi, probetur Job usque ad finem : ne desinas ab homine iniquitatis :

34:36  My desire is that Job may be tried unto the end because of his answers for wicked men.

34:37  Because he addeth blasphemy upon his sins, let him be tied fast in the mean time amongst us: and then let him provoke God to judgment with his speeches.

34:37  quia addit super peccata sua blasphemiam, inter nos interim constringatur : et tunc ad judicium provocet sermonibus suis Deum.

34:37  For he addeth rebellion unto his sin, he clappeth his hands among us, and multiplieth his words against God.
