- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Et ego dixi : In vacuum laboravi ; sine causa et vane fortitudinem meam consumpsi : ergo judicium meum cum Domino, et opus meum cum Deo meo.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- καὶ ἐγὼ εἶπα Κενῶς ἐκοπίασα, εἰς μάταιον καὶ εἰς οὐδὲν ἔδωκα τὴν ἰσχύν μου· διὰ τοῦτο ἡ κρίσις μου παρὰ Κυρίῳ, καὶ ὁ πόνος μου ἐναντίον τοῦ θεοῦ μου.
- Hebrew (WLC)
- וַאֲנִ֤י אָמַ֨רְתִּי֙ לְרִ֣יק יָגַ֔עְתִּי לְתֹ֥הוּ וְהֶ֖בֶל כֹּחִ֣י כִלֵּ֑יתִי אָכֵן֙ מִשְׁפָּטִ֣י אֶת יְהוָ֔ה וּפְעֻלָּתִ֖י אֶת אֱלֹהָֽי
Haydock's commentary
God. He will reward the labours of his ministers, though the people be obstinate. The prophets and our Saviour frequently complain, chap. lxv. 2., and Mark ix. 18.
