Jb 11 (King James)

¹ Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,
² Should not the multitude of words be answered? and should a man full of talk be justified?
³ Should thy lies make men hold their peace? and when thou mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed?
⁴ For thou hast said, My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in thine eyes.
⁵ But oh that God would speak, and open his lips against thee;
⁶ 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.
⁷ Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection?
⁸ It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know?
⁹ The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.
¹⁰ If he cut off, and shut up, or gather together, then who can hinder him?
¹¹ For he knoweth vain men: he seeth wickedness also; will he not then consider it?
¹² For vain men would be wise, though man be born like a wild ass's colt.
¹³ If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine hands toward him;
¹⁴ If iniquity be in thine hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in thy tabernacles.
¹⁵ For then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; yea, thou shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear:
¹⁶ Because thou shalt forget thy misery, and remember it as waters that pass away:
¹⁷ And thine age shall be clearer than the noonday: thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning.
¹⁸ And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; yea, thou shalt dig about thee, and thou shalt take thy rest in safety.
¹⁹ Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; yea, many shall make suit unto thee.
²⁰ 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.

Jb 11 (Vulgate)

¹ Respondens autem Sophar Naamathites, dixit :
² [Numquid qui multa loquitur, non et audiet ? aut vir verbosus justificabitur ?
³ Tibi soli tacebunt homines ? et cum ceteros irriseris, a nullo confutaberis ?
⁴ Dixisti enim : Purus est sermo meus, et mundus sum in conspectu tuo.
⁵ Atque utinam Deus loqueretur tecum, et aperiret labia sua tibi,
⁶ ut ostenderet tibi secreta sapientiæ, et quod multiplex esset lex ejus : et intelligeres quod multo minora exigaris ab eo quam meretur iniquitas tua !
⁷ Forsitan vestigia Dei comprehendes, et usque ad perfectum Omnipotentem reperies ?
⁸ Excelsior cælo est, et quid facies ? profundior inferno, et unde cognosces ?
⁹ Longior terra mensura ejus, et latior mari.
¹⁰ Si subverterit omnia, vel in unum coarctaverit, quis contradicet ei ?
¹¹ Ipse enim novit hominum vanitatem ; et videns iniquitatem, nonne considerat ?
¹² Vir vanus in superbiam erigitur, et tamquam pullum onagri se liberum natum putat.
¹³ Tu autem firmasti cor tuum, et expandisti ad eum manus tuas.
¹⁴ Si iniquitatem quæ est in manu tua abstuleris a te, et non manserit in tabernaculo tuo injustitia,
¹⁵ tunc levare poteris faciem tuam absque macula ; et eris stabilis, et non timebis.
¹⁶ Miseriæ quoque oblivisceris, et quasi aquarum quæ præterierunt recordaberis.
¹⁷ Et quasi meridianus fulgor consurget tibi ad vesperam ; et cum te consumptum putaveris, orieris ut lucifer.
¹⁸ Et habebis fiduciam, proposita tibi spe : et defossus securus dormies.
¹⁹ Requiesces, et non erit qui te exterreat ; et deprecabuntur faciem tuam plurimi.
²⁰ Oculi autem impiorum deficient, et effugium peribit ab eis : et spes illorum abominatio animæ.]
