The verse in its languages

Vulgate (Clementine)
Numquid semitam sæculorum custodire cupis, quam calcaverunt viri iniqui,
Septuagint (Swete)
μὴ τρίβον αἰώνιον φυλάξεις ἣν ἐπάτησαν ἄνδρες δίκαιοι,
Hebrew (WLC)
הַאֹ֣רַח עוֹלָ֣ם תִּשְׁמֹ֑ר אֲשֶׁ֖ר דָּרְכ֣וּ מְתֵי אָֽוֶן

Haydock's commentary

Wicked. Alexandrian Septuagint, "just." But Grabe substitutes unjust; (Haydock) as otherwise, Eliphaz would argue against his own principles: unless just be put ironically for hypocrites. (Calmet)

Wilt thou imitate the ancient giants, before the deluge? (Calmet)
