DRC, VulgClementine, KJV - Job - 6

6:1  But Job answered, and said:

6:1  Respondens autem Job, dixit :

6:1  But Job answered and said,

6:2  O that my sins, whereby I have deserved wrath, and the calamity that I suffer, were weighed in a balance.

6:2  Utinam appenderentur peccata mea quibus iram merui, et calamitas quam patior, in statera !

6:2  Oh that my grief were throughly weighed, and my calamity laid in the balances together!

6:3  As the sand of the sea, this would appear heavier: therefore, my words are full of sorrow:

6:3  Quasi arena maris hæc gravior appareret ; unde et verba mea dolore sunt plena :

6:3  For now it would be heavier than the sand of the sea: therefore my words are swallowed up.

6:4  For the arrows of the Lord are in me, the rage whereof drinketh up my spirit, and the terrors of the Lord war against me.

6:4  quia sagittæ Domini in me sunt, quarum indignatio ebibit spiritum meum ; et terrores Domini militant contra me.

6:4  For the arrows of the Almighty are within me, the poison whereof drinketh up my spirit: the terrors of God do set themselves in array against me.

6:5  Will the wild ass bray when he hath grass? or will the ox low when he standeth before a full manger?

6:5  Numquid rugiet onager cum habuerit herbam ? aut mugiet bos cum ante præsepe plenum steterit ?

6:5  Doth the wild ass bray when he hath grass? or loweth the ox over his fodder?

6:6  Or can an unsavoury thing be eaten, that is not seasoned with salt? or can a man taste that which, when tasted, bringeth death?

6:6  aut poterit comedi insulsum, quod non est sale conditum ? aut potest aliquis gustare quod gustatum affert mortem ?

6:6  Can that which is unsavoury be eaten without salt? or is there any taste in the white of an egg?

6:7  The things which before my soul would not touch, now, through anguish, are my meats.

6:7  Quæ prius nolebat tangere anima mea, nunc, præ angustia, cibi mei sunt.

6:7  The things that my soul refused to touch are as my sorrowful meat.

6:8  Who will grant that my request may come: and that God may give me what I look for?

6:8  Quis det ut veniat petitio mea, et quod expecto tribuat mihi Deus ?

6:8  Oh that I might have my request; and that God would grant me the thing that I long for!

6:9  And that he that hath begun may destroy me, that he may let loose his hand, and cut me off?

6:9  et qui cœpit, ipse me conterat ; solvat manum suam, et succidat me ?

6:9  Even that it would please God to destroy me; that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off!

6:10  And that this may be my comfort, that afflicting me with sorrow, he spare not, nor I contradict the words of the Holy one.

6:10  Et hæc mihi sit consolatio, ut affligens me dolore, non parcat, nec contradicam sermonibus Sancti.

6:10  Then should I yet have comfort; yea, I would harden myself in sorrow: let him not spare; for I have not concealed the words of the Holy One.

6:11  For what is my strength, that I can hold out? or what is my end, that I should keep patience?

6:11  Quæ est enim fortitudo mea, ut sustineam ? aut quis finis meus, ut patienter agam ?

6:11  What is my strength, that I should hope? and what is mine end, that I should prolong my life?

6:12  My strength is not the strength of stones, nor is my flesh of brass.

6:12  Nec fortitudo lapidum fortitudo mea, nec caro mea ænea est.

6:12  Is my strength the strength of stones? or is my flesh of brass?

6:13  Behold there is no help for me in myself, and my familiar friends also are departed from me.

6:13  Ecce non est auxilium mihi in me, et necessarii quoque mei recesserunt a me.

6:13  Is not my help in me? and is wisdom driven quite from me?

6:14  He that taketh away mercy from his friend, forsaketh the fear of the Lord.

6:14  Qui tollit ab amico suo misericordiam, timorem Domini derelinquit.

6:14  To him that is afflicted pity should be shewed from his friend; but he forsaketh the fear of the Almighty.

6:15  My brethren have passed by me, as the torrent that passeth swiftly in the valleys.

6:15  Fratres mei præterierunt me, sicut torrens qui raptim transit in convallibus.

6:15  My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, and as the stream of brooks they pass away;

6:16  They that fear the hoary frost, the snow shall fall upon them.

6:16  Qui timent pruinam, irruet super eos nix.

6:16  Which are blackish by reason of the ice, and wherein the snow is hid:

6:17  At the time when they shall be scattered they shall perish: and after it groweth hot, they shall be melted out of their place.

6:17  Tempore quo fuerint dissipati, peribunt ; et ut incaluerit, solventur de loco suo.

6:17  What time they wax warm, they vanish: when it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.

6:18  The paths of their steps are entangled: they shall walk in vain, and shall perish.

6:18  Involutæ sunt semitæ gressuum eorum ; ambulabunt in vacuum, et peribunt.

6:18  The paths of their way are turned aside; they go to nothing, and perish.

6:19  Consider the paths of Thema, the ways of Saba, and wait a little while.

6:19  Considerate semitas Thema, itinera Saba, et expectate paulisper.

6:19  The troops of Tema looked, the companies of Sheba waited for them.

6:20  They are confounded, because I have hoped: they are come also even unto me, and are covered with shame.

6:20  Confusi sunt, quia speravi : venerunt quoque usque ad me, et pudore cooperti sunt.

6:20  They were confounded because they had hoped; they came thither, and were ashamed.

6:21  Now you are come: and now, seeing my affliction, you are afraid.

6:21  Nunc venistis ; et modo videntes plagam meam, timetis.

6:21  For now ye are nothing; ye see my casting down, and are afraid.

6:22  Did I say: Bring to me, and give me of your substance?

6:22  Numquid dixi : Afferte mihi, et de substantia vestra donate mihi ?

6:22  Did I say, Bring unto me? or, Give a reward for me of your substance?

6:23  Or deliver me from the hand of the enemy, and rescue me out of the hand of the mighty?

6:23  vel : Liberate me de manu hostis, et de manu robustorum eruite me ?

6:23  Or, Deliver me from the enemy’s hand? or, Redeem me from the hand of the mighty?

6:24  Teach me, and I will hold my peace: and if I have been ignorant of any thing, instruct me.

6:24  Docete me, et ego tacebo : et si quid forte ignoravi, instruite me.

6:24  Teach me, and I will hold my tongue: and cause me to understand wherein I have erred.

6:25  Why have you detracted the words of truth, whereas there is none of you that can reprove me?

6:25  Quare detraxistis sermonibus veritatis, cum e vobis nullus sit qui possit arguere me ?

6:25  How forcible are right words! but what doth your arguing reprove?

6:26  You dress up speeches only to rebuke, and you utter words to the wind.

6:26  Ad increpandum tantum eloquia concinnatis, et in ventum verba profertis.

6:26  Do ye imagine to reprove words, and the speeches of one that is desperate, which are as wind?

6:27  You rush in upon the fatherless, and you endeavour to overthrow your friend.

6:27  Super pupillum irruitis, et subvertere nitimini amicum vestrum.

6:27  Yea, ye overwhelm the fatherless, and ye dig a pit for your friend.

6:28  However, finish what you have begun: give ear and see whether I lie.

6:28  Verumtamen quod cœpistis explete : præbete aurem, et videte an mentiar.

6:28  Now therefore be content, look upon me; for it is evident unto you if I lie.

6:29  Answer, I beseech you, without contention: and speaking that which is just, judge ye.

6:29  Respondete, obsecro, absque contentione ; et loquentes id quod justum est, judicate.

6:29  Return, I pray you, let it not be iniquity; yea, return again, my righteousness is in it.

6:30  And you shall not find iniquity in my tongue, neither shall folly sound in my mouth.

6:30  Et non invenietis in lingua mea iniquitatem, nec in faucibus meis stultitia personabit.

6:30  Is there iniquity in my tongue? cannot my taste discern perverse things?
