Translation of the Latin Vulgate |
| 35:1 igitur Heliu haec rursum locutus est | 1 Moreover Eliu spoke these words : |
| 35:2 numquid aequa tibi videtur tua cogitatio ut diceres iustior Deo sum | 2 Doth thy thought seem right to thee, that thou shouldst say : I am more just than God? |
| 35:3 dixisti enim non tibi placet quod rectum est vel quid tibi proderit si ego peccavero | 3 For thou saidst : That which is right doth not please thee : or what will it profit thee if I sin? |
| 35:4 itaque ego respondebo sermonibus tuis et amicis tuis tecum | 4 Therefore I will answer thy words, and thy friends with thee. |
| 35:5 suspice caelum et intuere et contemplare aethera quod altior te sit | 5 Look up to heaven and see, and behold the sky, that it is higher than thee. |
| 35:6 si peccaveris quid ei nocebis et si multiplicatae fuerint iniquitates tuae quid facies contra eum | 6 If thou sin, what shalt thou hurt him? and if thy iniquities be multiplied, what shalt thou do against him? |
| 35:7 porro si iuste egeris quid donabis ei aut quid de manu tua accipiet | 7 And if thou do justly, what shalt thou give him, or what shall he receive of thy hand? |
| 35:8 homini qui similis tui est nocebit impietas tua et filium hominis adiuvabit iustitia tua | 8 Thy wickedness may hurt a man that is like thee : and thy justice may help the son of man. |
| 35:9 propter multitudinem calumniatorum clamabunt et heiulabunt propter vim brachii tyrannorum | 9 By reason of the multitude of oppressions they shall cry out : and shall wail for the violence of the arm of tyrants. |
| 35:10 et non dixit ubi est Deus qui fecit me qui dedit carmina in nocte | 10 And he hath not said : Where is God, who made me, who hath given songs in the night? |
| 35:11 qui docet nos super iumenta terrae et super volucres caeli erudit nos | 11 Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and instructeth us more than the fowls of the air. |
| 35:12 ibi clamabunt et non exaudiet propter superbiam malorum | 12 There shall they cry, and he will not hear, because of the pride of evil men. |
| 35:13 non ergo frustra audiet Deus et Omnipotens singulorum causas intuebitur | 13 God therefore will not hear in vain, and the Almighty will look into the causes of every one. |
| 35:14 etiam cum dixeris non considerat iudicare coram eo et expecta eum | 14 Yea when thou shalt say : He considereth not : be judged before him, and expect him. |
| 35:15 nunc enim non infert furorem suum nec ulciscitur scelus valde | 15 For he doth not now bring on his fury, neither doth he revenge wickedness exceedingly. |
| 35:16 ergo Iob frustra aperit os suum et absque scientia verba multiplicat | 16 Therefore Job openeth his mouth in vain, and multiplieth words without knowledge. |
