- Vulgate (Clementine)
- At nunc non vident lucem : subito aër cogetur in nubes, et ventus transiens fugabit eas.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- πᾶσιν δ᾽ οὐχ ὁρατὸν τὸ φῶς, τηλαυγές ἐστιν ἐν τοῖς παλαιώμασιν, ὥσπερ τὸ παρ᾽ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ νεφῶν.
- Hebrew (WLC)
- וְעַתָּ֤ה לֹ֘א רָ֤אוּ א֗וֹר בָּהִ֣יר ה֭וּא בַּשְּׁחָקִ֑ים וְר֥וּחַ עָ֝בְרָ֗ה וַֽתְּטַהֲרֵֽם
Haydock's commentary
Light; being hindered by the clouds, and dazzled when they are removed. Yet we presume to judge of the secrets of Providence! (Calmet)
Away. As there is a constant vicissitude of these things, so there is of happiness and misery. (Menochius)
Septuagint, "For the light is not seen by all. It is refulgent in beauties, as that which comes thence upon the clouds." If, therefore, this light does not pervade all places, why should we wonder that all do not understand the ways of God? (Haydock)
