The Motif Searcher: one word across the Douay, the Latin, the Greek and the Hebrew.

Job 36:16

Therefore he shall set thee at large out of the narrow mouth, and which hath no foundation under it: and the rest of thy table shall be full of fatness.

Challoner: Out of the narrow mouthThat is, out of hell, whose entrance is narrow, and its depth bottomless; but figuratively meant here, that is, from his miseries and calamity to be restored to his former state of happiness.

The verse in its languages

Vulgate (Clementine): Igitur salvabit te de ore angusto latissime, et non habente fundamentum subter se : requies autem mensæ tuæ erit plena pinguedine.
Septuagint (Swete): καὶ προσεπιηπάτησέν σε ἐκ στόματος ἐχθροῦ ἄβυσσος, κατάχυσις ὑποκάτω αὐτῆς, καὶ κατέβη τράπεζά σου πλήρης πιότητος.
Hebrew (WLC): וְאַ֤ף הֲסִיתְךָ֨ מִפִּי צָ֗ר רַ֭חַב לֹא מוּצָ֣ק תַּחְתֶּ֑יהָ וְנַ֥חַת שֻׁ֝לְחָנְךָ֗ מָ֣לֵא דָֽשֶׁן

Haydock's commentary

He shall. He would have prevented thee from falling into this irremediable distress, if thou hadst imitated the poor who trust in Him. (Calmet)

Yea, he will still restore thee to favour, if thou wilt repent. (Haydock)

He will fill thee with joy and plenty. (Menochius)

Foundation. Hebrew, where there is not straitness. (Protestants) He would have rescued thee from distress, and set thee at large. (Haydock)

The psalmist often speaks in the same language. (Calmet)
