Iob 8
Biblia Sacra Vulgata
8 Respondens autem Baldad Suhites, dixit:
2 Usquequo loqueris talia, et spiritus multiplex sermones oris tui?
3 Numquid Deus supplantat judicium? aut Omnipotens subvertit quod justum est?
4 Etiam si filii tui peccaverunt ei, et dimisit eos in manu iniquitatis suae:
5 tu tamen si diluculo consurrexeris ad Deum, et Omnipotentem fueris deprecatus;
6 si mundus et rectus incesseris: statim evigilabit ad te, et pacatum reddet habitaculum justitiae tuae,
7 in tantum ut si priora tua fuerint parva, et novissima tua multiplicentur nimis.
8 Interroga enim generationem pristinam, et diligenter investiga patrum memoriam
9 (hesterni quippe sumus, et ignoramus, quoniam sicut umbra dies nostri sunt super terram),
10 et ipsi docebunt te, loquentur tibi, et de corde suo proferent eloquia.
11 Numquid vivere potest scirpus absque humore? aut crescere carectum sine aqua?
12 Cum adhuc sit in flore, nec carpatur manu, ante omnes herbas arescit.
13 Sic viae omnium qui obliviscuntur Deum, et spes hypocritae peribit.
14 Non ei placebit vecordia sua, et sicut tela aranearum fiducia ejus.
15 Innitetur super domum suam, et non stabit; fulciet eam, et non consurget.
16 Humectus videtur antequam veniat sol, et in ortu suo germen ejus egredietur.
17 Super acervum petrarum radices ejus densabuntur, et inter lapides commorabitur.
18 Si absorbuerit eum de loco suo, negabit eum, et dicet: Non novi te.
19 Haec est enim laetitia viae ejus, ut rursum de terra alii germinentur.
20 Deus non projiciet simplicem, nec porriget manum malignis,
21 donec impleatur risu os tuum, et labia tua jubilo.
22 Qui oderunt te induentur confusione, et tabernaculum impiorum non subsistet.
Job 8
New International Version
Bildad
8 Then Bildad the Shuhite(A) replied:
2 “How long will you say such things?(B)
Your words are a blustering wind.(C)
3 Does God pervert justice?(D)
Does the Almighty pervert what is right?(E)
4 When your children sinned against him,
he gave them over to the penalty of their sin.(F)
5 But if you will seek God earnestly
and plead(G) with the Almighty,(H)
6 if you are pure and upright,
even now he will rouse himself on your behalf(I)
and restore you to your prosperous state.(J)
7 Your beginnings will seem humble,
so prosperous(K) will your future be.(L)
8 “Ask the former generation(M)
and find out what their ancestors learned,
9 for we were born only yesterday and know nothing,(N)
and our days on earth are but a shadow.(O)
10 Will they not instruct(P) you and tell you?
Will they not bring forth words from their understanding?(Q)
11 Can papyrus grow tall where there is no marsh?(R)
Can reeds(S) thrive without water?
12 While still growing and uncut,
they wither more quickly than grass.(T)
13 Such is the destiny(U) of all who forget God;(V)
so perishes the hope of the godless.(W)
14 What they trust in is fragile[a];
what they rely on is a spider’s web.(X)
15 They lean on the web,(Y) but it gives way;
they cling to it, but it does not hold.(Z)
16 They are like a well-watered plant in the sunshine,
spreading its shoots(AA) over the garden;(AB)
17 it entwines its roots around a pile of rocks
and looks for a place among the stones.
18 But when it is torn from its spot,
that place disowns(AC) it and says, ‘I never saw you.’(AD)
19 Surely its life withers(AE) away,
and[b] from the soil other plants grow.(AF)
