KJV ¹ Call now, if there be any that will answer thee; and to which of the saints wilt thou turn?

VULC ¹ [Voca ergo, si est qui tibi respondeat,
et ad aliquem sanctorum convertere.

KJV ² For wrath killeth the foolish man, and envy slayeth the silly one.

VULC ² Vere stultum interficit iracundia,
et parvulum occidit invidia.

KJV ³ I have seen the foolish taking root: but suddenly I cursed his habitation.

VULC ³ Ego vidi stultum firma radice,
et maledixi pulchritudini ejus statim.

KJV ⁴ His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate, neither is there any to deliver them.

VULC ⁴ Longe fient filii ejus a salute,
et conterentur in porta,
et non erit qui eruat.

KJV ⁵ Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, and taketh it even out of the thorns, and the robber swalloweth up their substance.

VULC ⁵ Cujus messem famelicus comedet,
et ipsum rapiet armatus,
et bibent sitientes divitias ejus.

KJV ⁶ Although affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground;

VULC ⁶ Nihil in terra sine causa fit,
et de humo non oritur dolor.

KJV ⁷ Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward.

VULC ⁷ Homo nascitur ad laborem,
et avis ad volatum.

KJV ⁸ I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause:

VULC ⁸ Quam ob rem ego deprecabor Dominum,
et ad Deum ponam eloquium meum :

KJV ⁹ Which doeth great things and unsearchable; marvellous things without number:

VULC ⁹ qui facit magna et inscrutabilia,
et mirabilia absque numero ;

KJV ¹⁰ Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon the fields:

VULC ¹⁰ qui dat pluviam super faciem terræ,
et irrigat aquis universa ;

KJV ¹¹ To set up on high those that be low; that those which mourn may be exalted to safety.

VULC ¹¹ qui ponit humiles in sublime,
et mœrentes erigit sospitate ;

KJV ¹² He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.

VULC ¹² qui dissipat cogitationes malignorum,
ne possint implere manus eorum quod cœperant ;

KJV ¹³ He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the froward is carried headlong.

VULC ¹³ qui apprehendit sapientes in astutia eorum,
et consilium pravorum dissipat.

KJV ¹⁴ They meet with darkness in the day time, and grope in the noonday as in the night.

VULC ¹⁴ Per diem incurrent tenebras,
et quasi in nocte, sic palpabunt in meridie.

KJV ¹⁵ But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty.

VULC ¹⁵ Porro salvum faciet egenum a gladio oris eorum,
et de manu violenti pauperem.

KJV ¹⁶ So the poor hath hope, and iniquity stoppeth her mouth.

VULC ¹⁶ Et erit egeno spes ;
iniquitas autem contrahet os suum.

KJV ¹⁷ Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:

VULC ¹⁷ Beatus homo qui corripitur a Deo :
increpationem ergo Domini ne reprobes :

KJV ¹⁸ For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands make whole.

VULC ¹⁸ quia ipse vulnerat, et medetur ;
percutit, et manus ejus sanabunt.

KJV ¹⁹ He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.

VULC ¹⁹ In sex tribulationibus liberabit te,
et in septima non tanget te malum.

KJV ²⁰ In famine he shall redeem thee from death: and in war from the power of the sword.

VULC ²⁰ In fame eruet te de morte,
et in bello de manu gladii.

KJV ²¹ Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue: neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh.

VULC ²¹ A flagello linguæ absconderis,
et non timebis calamitatem cum venerit.

KJV ²² At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.

VULC ²² In vastitate et fame ridebis,
et bestias terræ non formidabis.

KJV ²³ For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field: and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.

VULC ²³ Sed cum lapidibus regionum pactum tuum,
et bestiæ terræ pacificæ erunt tibi.

KJV ²⁴ And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle shall be in peace; and thou shalt visit thy habitation, and shalt not sin.

VULC ²⁴ Et scies quod pacem habeat tabernaculum tuum ;
et visitans speciem tuam, non peccabis.

KJV ²⁵ Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great, and thine offspring as the grass of the earth.

VULC ²⁵ Scies quoque quoniam multiplex erit semen tuum,
et progenies tua quasi herba terræ.

KJV ²⁶ Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in in his season.

VULC ²⁶ Ingredieris in abundantia sepulchrum,
sicut infertur acervus tritici in tempore suo.

KJV ²⁷ Lo this, we have searched it, so it is; hear it, and know thou it for thy good.

VULC ²⁷ Ecce hoc, ut investigavimus, ita est :
quod auditum, mente pertracta.]
