| 37:13 sive in una tribu sive in terra sua sive in quocumque loco misericordiae suae eas iusserit inveniri | 13 Whether in one tribe, or in his own land, or in what place soever of his mercy he shall command them to be found. |
| 37:14 ausculta haec Iob sta et considera miracula Dei | 14 Hearken to these things, Job : Stand, and consider the wondrous works of God. |
| 37:15 numquid scis quando praeceperit Deus pluviis ut ostenderent lucem nubium eius | 15 Dost thou know when God commanded the rains, to shew his light of his clouds? |

| 37:22 ab aquilone aurum venit et ad Deum formidolosa laudatio | 22 Cold cometh out of the north, and to God praise with fear. |
| 37:23 digne eum invenire non possumus magnus fortitudine et iudicio et iustitia et enarrari non potest | 23 We cannot find him worthily : he is great in strength, and in judgment, and in justice, and he is ineffable. |
| 37:24 ideo timebunt eum viri et non audebunt contemplari omnes qui sibi videntur esse sapientes | 24 Therefore men shall fear him, and all that seem to themselves to be wise, shall not dare to behold him. |
