DRC, KJV, VulgClementine - Job - 34

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

34:1  Furthermore Elihu answered and said,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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  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.

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

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  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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

34:26  Quasi impios percussit eos in loco videntium :

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

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

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

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

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

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  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:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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  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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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