Job 11

Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,
respondens autem Sophar Naamathites dixit
Should not the multitude of words be answered? and should a man full of talk be justified?
numquid qui multa loquitur non et audiet aut vir verbosus iustificabitur
Should thy lies make men hold their peace? and when thou mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed?
tibi soli tacebunt homines et cum ceteros inriseris a nullo confutaberis
For thou hast said, My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in thine eyes.
dixisti enim purus est sermo meus et mundus sum in conspectu tuo
But oh that God would speak, and open his lips against thee;
atque utinam Deus loqueretur tecum et aperiret labia sua tibi
And that he would shew thee the secrets of wisdom, that they are double to that which is! Know therefore that God exacteth of thee less than thine iniquity deserveth.
ut ostenderet tibi secreta sapientiae et quod multiplex esset lex eius et intellegeres quod multo minora exigaris a Deo quam meretur iniquitas tua
Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection?
forsitan vestigia Dei conprehendes et usque ad perfectum Omnipotentem repperies
It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know?
excelsior caelo est et quid facies profundior inferno et unde cognosces
The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.
longior terrae mensura eius et latior mari
If he cut off, and shut up, or gather together, then who can hinder him?
si subverterit omnia vel in unum coartaverit quis contradicet ei
For he knoweth vain men: he seeth wickedness also; will he not then consider it?
ipse enim novit hominum vanitatem et videns iniquitatem nonne considerat
For vain man would be wise, though man be born like a wild ass's colt.
vir vanus in superbiam erigitur et tamquam pullum onagri se liberum natum putat
If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine hands toward him;
tu autem firmasti cor tuum et expandisti ad eum manus tuas
If iniquity be in thine hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in thy tabernacles.
si iniquitatem quod est in manu tua abstuleris a te et non manserit in tabernaculo tuo iniustitia
For then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; yea, thou shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear:
tum levare poteris faciem tuam absque macula et eris stabilis et non timebis
Because thou shalt forget thy misery, and remember it as waters that pass away:
miseriae quoque oblivisceris et quasi aquarum quae praeterierint recordaberis
And thine age shall be clearer than the noonday; thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning.
et quasi meridianus fulgor consurget tibi ad vesperam et cum te consumptum putaveris orieris ut lucifer
And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; yea, thou shalt dig about thee, and thou shalt take thy rest in safety.
et habebis fiduciam proposita tibi spe et defossus securus dormies
Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; yea, many shall make suit unto thee.
requiesces et non erit qui te exterreat et deprecabuntur faciem tuam plurimi
But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not escape, and their hope shall be as the giving up of the ghost.
oculi autem impiorum deficient et effugium peribit ab eis et spes eorum abominatio animae
