- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Numquid a te Deus expetit eam, quia displicuit tibi ? tu enim cœpisti loqui, et non ego : quod si quid nosti melius, loquere.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- μὴ ἀπὸ σοῦ ἀποτίσει αὐτήν, ὅτι ἀπώσῃ; ὅτι σὺ ἐκλέξῃ καὶ οὐκ ἐγώ· καὶ τί ἔγνως λάλησον.
- Hebrew (WLC)
- הַֽמֵעִמְּךָ֬ יְשַׁלְמֶ֨נָּה כִּֽי מָאַ֗סְתָּ כִּי אַתָּ֣ה תִבְחַ֣ר וְלֹא אָ֑נִי וּֽמַה יָדַ֥עְתָּ דַבֵּֽר
Haydock's commentary
It, my iniquity. (Menochius)
Will God make thee accountable for it? (Haydock)
Yea, if thou keep silence, (Calmet) thou wilt seem to connive at it. (Haydock)
He wishes to engage Job to speak. Hebrew may be translated many ways. (Calmet)
Protestants, "Should it be according to thy mind? He will recompense it whether thou refuse, or whether thou choose; and not I. Therefore speak what thou knowest." (Haydock)
