KJV ¹ The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come.

VULC ¹ [Justus perit,
et non est qui recogitet in corde suo ;
et viri misericordiæ colliguntur,
quia non est qui intelligat :
a facie enim malitiæ collectus est justus.

KJV ² He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, each one walking in his uprightness.

VULC ² Veniat pax ;
requiescat in cubili suo
qui ambulavit in directione sua.

KJV ³ But draw near hither, ye sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the whore.

VULC ³ Vos autem accedite huc,
filii auguratricis,
semen adulteri et fornicariæ.

KJV ⁴ Against whom do ye sport yourselves? against whom make ye a wide mouth, and draw out the tongue? are ye not children of transgression, a seed of falsehood.

VULC ⁴ Super quem lusistis ?
super quem dilatastis os,
et ejecistis linguam ?
Numquid non vos filii scelesti,
semen mendax,

KJV ⁵ Enflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree, slaying the children in the valleys under the clifts of the rocks?

VULC ⁵ qui consolamini in diis
subter omne lignum frondosum,
immolantes parvulos in torrentibus,
subter eminentes petras ?

KJV ⁶ Among the smooth stones of the stream is thy portion; they, they are thy lot: even to them hast thou poured a drink offering, thou hast offered a meat offering. Should I receive comfort in these?

VULC ⁶ In partibus torrentis pars tua ;
hæc est sors tua :
et ipsis effudisti libamen,
obtulisti sacrificium.
Numquid super his non indignabor ?

KJV ⁷ Upon a lofty and high mountain hast thou set thy bed: even thither wentest thou up to offer sacrifice.

VULC ⁷ Super montem excelsum et sublimem
posuisti cubile tuum,
et illuc ascendisti
ut immolares hostias.

KJV ⁸ Behind the doors also and the posts hast thou set up thy remembrance: for thou hast discovered thyself to another than me, and art gone up; thou hast enlarged thy bed, and made thee a covenant with them; thou lovedst their bed where thou sawest it.

VULC ⁸ Et post ostium, et retro postem,
posuisti memoriale tuum.
Quia juxta me discooperuisti,
et suscepisti adulterum, dilatasti cubile tuum,
et pepigisti cum eis fœdus ;
dilexisti stratum eorum
manu aperta.

KJV ⁹ And thou wentest to the king with ointment, and didst increase thy perfumes, and didst send thy messengers far off, and didst debase thyself even unto hell.

VULC ⁹ Et ornasti te regi unguento,
et multiplicasti pigmenta tua.
Misisti legatos tuos procul,
et humiliata es usque ad inferos.

KJV ¹⁰ Thou art wearied in the greatness of thy way; yet saidst thou not, There is no hope: thou hast found the life of thine hand; therefore thou wast not grieved.

VULC ¹⁰ In multitudine viæ tuæ laborasti ;
non dixisti : Quiescam.
Vitam manus tuæ invenisti ;
propterea non rogasti.

KJV ¹¹ And of whom hast thou been afraid or feared, that thou hast lied, and hast not remembered me, nor laid it to thy heart? have not I held my peace even of old, and thou fearest me not?

VULC ¹¹ Pro quo sollicita timuisti,
quia mentita es,
et mei non es recordata,
neque cogitasti in corde tuo ?
Quia ego tacens et quasi non videns,
et mei oblita es.

KJV ¹² I will declare thy righteousness, and thy works; for they shall not profit thee.

VULC ¹² Ego annuntiabo justitiam tuam,
et opera tua non proderunt tibi.

KJV ¹³ When thou criest, let thy companies deliver thee; but the wind shall carry them all away; vanity shall take them: but he that putteth his trust in me shall possess the land, and shall inherit my holy mountain;

VULC ¹³ Cum clamaveris, liberent te congregati tui,
et omnes eos auferet ventus,
tollet aura.]
[Qui autem fiduciam habet mei, hæreditabit terram,
et possidebit montem sanctum meum.

KJV ¹⁴ And shall say, Cast ye up, cast ye up, prepare the way, take up the stumblingblock out of the way of my people.

VULC ¹⁴ Et dicam : Viam facite, præbete iter ; declinate de semita,
auferte offendicula de via populi mei.

KJV ¹⁵ For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

VULC ¹⁵ Quia hæc dicit Excelsus,
et Sublimis, habitans æternitatem, et sanctum nomen ejus :
in excelso et in sancto habitans,
et cum contrito et humili spiritu :
ut vivificet spiritum humilium,
et vivificet cor contritorum.

KJV ¹⁶ For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth: for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls which I have made.

VULC ¹⁶ Non enim in sempiternum litigabo,
neque usque ad finem irascar,
quia spiritus a facie mea egredietur,
et flatus ego faciam.

KJV ¹⁷ For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth, and smote him: I hid me, and was wroth, and he went on frowardly in the way of his heart.

VULC ¹⁷ Propter iniquitatem avaritiæ ejus iratus sum, et percussi eum.
Abscondi a te faciem meam, et indignatus sum ;
et abiit vagus in via cordis sui.

KJV ¹⁸ I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners.

VULC ¹⁸ Vias ejus vidi, et sanavi eum ;
et reduxi eum, et reddidi consolationes
ipsi, et lugentibus ejus.

KJV ¹⁹ I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near, saith the LORD; and I will heal him.

VULC ¹⁹ Creavi fructum labiorum pacem ;
pacem ei qui longe est et qui prope,
dixit Dominus, et sanavi eum.

KJV ²⁰ But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.

VULC ²⁰ Impii autem quasi mare fervens,
quod quiescere non potest,
et redundant fluctus ejus in conculcationem et lutum.

KJV ²¹ There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.

VULC ²¹ Non est pax impiis, dicit Dominus Deus.]
