KJV ¹ Woe to thee that spoilest, and thou wast not spoiled; and dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! when thou shalt cease to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled; and when thou shalt make an end to deal treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee.

VULC ¹ [Væ qui prædaris ! nonne et ipse prædaberis ?
et qui spernis, nonne et ipse sperneris ?
Cum consummaveris deprædationem, deprædaberis ;
cum fatigatus desieris contemnere, contemneris.

KJV ² O LORD, be gracious unto us; we have waited for thee: be thou their arm every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble.

VULC ² Domine, miserere nostri,
te enim exspectavimus ;
esto brachium nostrum in mane,
et salus nostra in tempore tribulationis.

KJV ³ At the noise of the tumult the people fled; at the lifting up of thyself the nations were scattered.

VULC ³ A voce angeli fugerunt populi,
et ab exaltatione tua dispersæ sunt gentes.

KJV ⁴ And your spoil shall be gathered like the gathering of the caterpiller: as the running to and fro of locusts shall he run upon them.

VULC ⁴ Et congregabuntur spolia vestra sicut colligitur bruchus,
velut cum fossæ plenæ fuerint de eo.

KJV ⁵ The LORD is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled Zion with judgment and righteousness.

VULC ⁵ Magnificatus est Dominus, quoniam habitavit in excelso ;
implevit Sion judicio et justitia.

KJV ⁶ And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD is his treasure.

VULC ⁶ Et erit fides in temporibus tuis :
divitiæ salutis sapientia et scientia ;
timor Domini ipse est thesaurus ejus.

KJV ⁷ Behold, their valiant ones shall cry without: the ambassadors of peace shall weep bitterly.

VULC ⁷ Ecce videntes clamabunt foris ;
angeli pacis amare flebunt.

KJV ⁸ The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man ceaseth: he hath broken the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he regardeth no man.

VULC ⁸ Dissipatæ sunt viæ,
cessavit transiens per semitam :
irritum factum est pactum, projecit civitates,
non reputavit homines.

KJV ⁹ The earth mourneth and languisheth: Lebanon is ashamed and hewn down: Sharon is like a wilderness; and Bashan and Carmel shake off their fruits.

VULC ⁹ Luxit et elanguit terra ;
confusus est Libanus, et obsorduit :
et factus est Saron sicut desertum,
et concussa est Basan, et Carmelus.

KJV ¹⁰ Now will I rise, saith the LORD; now will I be exalted; now will I lift up myself.

VULC ¹⁰ Nunc consurgam, dicit Dominus ;
nunc exaltabor, nunc sublevabor.

KJV ¹¹ Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath, as fire, shall devour you.

VULC ¹¹ Concipietis ardorem, parietis stipulam ;
spiritus vester ut ignis vorabit vos.

KJV ¹² And the people shall be as the burnings of lime: as thorns cut up shall they be burned in the fire.

VULC ¹² Et erunt populi quasi de incendio cinis ;
spinæ congregatæ igni comburentur.

KJV ¹³ Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done; and, ye that are near, acknowledge my might.

VULC ¹³ Audite, qui longe estis, quæ fecerim ;
et cognoscite, vicini, fortitudinem meam.

KJV ¹⁴ The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?

VULC ¹⁴ Conterriti sunt in Sion peccatores ;
possedit tremor hypocritas.
Quis poterit habitare de vobis cum igne devorante ?
quis habitabit ex vobis cum ardoribus sempiternis ?

KJV ¹⁵ He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil;

VULC ¹⁵ Qui ambulat in justitiis et loquitur veritatem,
qui projicit avaritiam ex calumnia,
et excutit manus suas ab omni munere,
qui obturat aures suas ne audiat sanguinem,
et claudit oculos suos ne videat malum.

KJV ¹⁶ He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure.

VULC ¹⁶ Iste in excelsis habitabit ;
munimenta saxorum sublimitas ejus :
panis ei datus est, aquæ ejus fideles sunt.

KJV ¹⁷ Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold the land that is very far off.

VULC ¹⁷ Regem in decore suo videbunt oculi ejus,
cernent terram de longe.

KJV ¹⁸ Thine heart shall meditate terror. Where is the scribe? where is the receiver? where is he that counted the towers?

VULC ¹⁸ Cor tuum meditabitur timorem :
ubi est litteratus ? ubi legis verba ponderans ?
ubi doctor parvulorum ?

KJV ¹⁹ Thou shalt not see a fierce people, a people of a deeper speech than thou canst perceive; of a stammering tongue, that thou canst not understand.

VULC ¹⁹ Populum impudentem non videbis,
populum alti sermonis, ita ut non possis intelligere
disertitudinem linguæ ejus, in quo nulla est sapientia.

KJV ²⁰ Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that shall not be taken down; not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken.

VULC ²⁰ Respice, Sion, civitatem solemnitatis nostræ :
oculi tui videbunt Jerusalem,
habitationem opulentam,
tabernaculum quod nequaquam transferri poterit ;
nec auferentur clavi ejus in sempiternum,
et omnes funiculi ejus non rumpentur :

KJV ²¹ But there the glorious LORD will be unto us a place of broad rivers and streams; wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby.

VULC ²¹ quia solummodo ibi magnificus est Dominus noster :
locus fluviorum rivi latissimi et patentes :
non transibit per eum navis remigum,
neque trieris magna transgredietur eum.

KJV ²² For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; he will save us.

VULC ²² Dominus enim judex noster,
Dominus legifer noster,
Dominus rex noster,
ipse salvabit nos.

KJV ²³ Thy tacklings are loosed; they could not well strengthen their mast, they could not spread the sail: then is the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame take the prey.

VULC ²³ Laxati sunt funiculi tui,
et non prævalebunt ;
sic erit malus tuus
ut dilatare signum non queas.
Tunc dividentur spolia prædarum multarum ;
claudi diripient rapinam.

KJV ²⁴ And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity.

VULC ²⁴ Nec dicet vicinus : Elangui ;
populus qui habitat in ea, auferetur ab eo iniquitas.]
