Clementine Vulgate 1598

[Numquid qui contendit cum Deo, tam facile conquiescit? utique qui arguit Deum, debet respondere ei.]

Zdali hádající se s Všemohoucím obviní jej? Kdo chce viniti Boha, nechť odpoví na to.

Di là ella spia il pasto, Gli occhi suoi mirano da lontano.

Shall he that contendeth with God be so easily silenced? surely he that reproveth God, ought to answer him.

From thence she spieth for meate, and her eyes beholde afarre off.

den spejder derfra efter Æde, viden om skuer dens Øjne.

De là il épie sa proie, Il plonge au loin les regards.

Will any one pervert judgment with the Mighty One? and he that reproves God, let him return it for answer.

Odatle gleda hrane, daleko mu vide oči.

Чи буде той, хто перечиться з Вседержителем, ще вчити? Хто дорікає Богові, нехай же й відповідає йому!

Чи буде той, хто перечиться з Вседержителем, ще вчити? Хто дорікає Богові, нехай же й відповідає йому!

Одатле гледа хране, далеко му виде очи.

будет ли состязающийся со Вседержителем еще учить? Обличающий Бога пусть отвечает Ему.
