KJV ¹ And Job answered and said,

VULC ¹ Respondens autem Job, dixit :

WLC ¹ וַיַּ֥עַן אִיּ֗וֹב וַיֹּאמַֽר׃

KJV ² No doubt but ye are the people, and wisdom shall die with you.

VULC ² [Ergo vos estis soli homines,
et vobiscum morietur sapientia ?

WLC ² אָ֭מְנָם כִּ֣י אַתֶּם־ עָ֑ם וְ֝עִמָּכֶ֗ם תָּמ֥וּת חָכְמָֽה׃

KJV ³ But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you: yea, who knoweth not such things as these?

VULC ³ Et mihi est cor sicut et vobis, nec inferior vestri sum ;
quis enim hæc quæ nostis ignorat ?

WLC ³ גַּם־ לִ֤י לֵבָ֨ב ׀ כְּֽמוֹכֶ֗ם לֹא־ נֹפֵ֣ל אָנֹכִ֣י מִכֶּ֑ם וְאֶת־ מִי־ אֵ֥ין כְּמוֹ־ אֵֽלֶּה׃

KJV ⁴ I am as one mocked of his neighbour, who calleth upon God, and he answereth him: the just upright man is laughed to scorn.

VULC ⁴ Qui deridetur ab amico suo, sicut ego,
invocabit Deum, et exaudiet eum :
deridetur enim justi simplicitas.

WLC ⁴ שְׂחֹ֤ק לְרֵעֵ֨הוּ ׀ אֶֽהְיֶ֗ה קֹרֵ֣א לֶ֭אֱלוֹהַּ וַֽיַּעֲנֵ֑הוּ שְׂ֝ח֗וֹק צַדִּ֥יק תָּמִֽים׃

VULC ⁵ Lampas contempta apud cogitationes divitum
parata ad tempus statutum.

WLC ⁵ לַפִּ֣יד בּ֭וּז לְעַשְׁתּ֣וּת שַׁאֲנָ֑ן נָ֝כ֗וֹן לְמ֣וֹעֲדֵי רָֽגֶל׃

KJV ⁶ The tabernacles of robbers prosper, and they that provoke God are secure; into whose hand God bringeth abundantly.

VULC ⁶ Abundant tabernacula prædonum,
et audacter provocant Deum,
cum ipse dederit omnia in manus eorum.

WLC ⁶ יִשְׁלָ֤יוּ אֹֽהָלִ֨ים ׀ לְשֹׁ֥דְדִ֗ים וּֽ֭בַטֻּחוֹת לְמַרְגִּ֣יזֵי אֵ֑ל לַאֲשֶׁ֤ר הֵבִ֖יא אֱל֣וֹהַּ בְּיָדֽוֹ׃

KJV ⁷ But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee:

VULC ⁷ Nimirum interroga jumenta, et docebunt te ;
et volatilia cæli, et indicabunt tibi.

WLC ⁷ וְֽאוּלָ֗ם שְׁאַל־ נָ֣א בְהֵמ֣וֹת וְתֹרֶ֑ךָּ וְע֥וֹף הַ֝שָּׁמַ֗יִם וְיַגֶּד־ לָֽךְ׃

KJV ⁸ Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee.

et narrabunt pisces maris.

KJV ¹⁰ In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind.

VULC ¹⁰ In cujus manu anima omnis viventis,
et spiritus universæ carnis hominis.

WLC ¹⁰ אֲשֶׁ֣ר בְּ֭יָדוֹ נֶ֣פֶשׁ כָּל־ חָ֑י וְ֝ר֗וּחַ כָּל־ בְּשַׂר־ אִֽישׁ׃

KJV ¹¹ Doth not the ear try words? and the mouth taste his meat?

VULC ¹¹ Nonne auris verba dijudicat ?
et fauces comedentis, saporem ?

KJV ¹⁴ Behold, he breaketh down, and it cannot be built again: he shutteth up a man, and there can be no opening.

si incluserit hominem, nullus est qui aperiat.
