The Latin Vulgate w/ Apocrypha VULA
New International Version NIV
15 vae qui profundi estis corde ut a Domino abscondatis consilium quorum sunt in tenebris opera et dicunt quis videt nos et quis novit nos
15
Woe to those who go to great depths to hide their plans from the LORD, who do their work in darkness and think, “Who sees us? Who will know?”
16 perversa est haec vestra cogitatio quasi lutum contra figulum cogitet et dicat opus factori suo non fecisti me et figmentum dicat fictori suo non intellegis
16
You turn things upside down, as if the potter were thought to be like the clay! Shall what is formed say to the one who formed it, “You did not make me”? Can the pot say to the potter, “You know nothing”?
17 nonne adhuc in modico et in brevi convertetur Libanus in Chermel et Chermel in saltum reputabitur
17
In a very short time, will not Lebanon be turned into a fertile field and the fertile field seem like a forest?
18 et audient in die illa surdi verba libri et de tenebris et caligine oculi caecorum videbunt
18
In that day the deaf will hear the words of the scroll, and out of gloom and darkness the eyes of the blind will see.
19 et addent mites in Domino laetitiam et pauperes homines in Sancto Israhel exultabunt
19
Once more the humble will rejoice in the LORD; the needy will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
20 quoniam defecit qui praevalebat consummatus est inlusor et succisi sunt omnes qui vigilabant super iniquitatem
20
The ruthless will vanish, the mockers will disappear, and all who have an eye for evil will be cut down—
21 qui peccare faciebant homines in verbo et arguentem in porta subplantabant et declinaverunt frustra a iusto
21
those who with a word make someone out to be guilty, who ensnare the defender in court and with false testimony deprive the innocent of justice.
22 propter hoc haec dicit Dominus ad domum Iacob qui redemit Abraham non modo confundetur Iacob nec modo vultus eius erubescet
22
Therefore this is what the LORD, who redeemed Abraham, says to the descendants of Jacob: “No longer will Jacob be ashamed; no longer will their faces grow pale.
23 sed cum viderit filios suos opera manuum mearum in medio sui sanctificantes nomen meum et sanctificabunt Sanctum Iacob et Deum Israhel praedicabunt
23
When they see among them their children, the work of my hands, they will keep my name holy; they will acknowledge the holiness of the Holy One of Jacob, and will stand in awe of the God of Israel.
24 et scient errantes spiritu intellectum et mussitatores discent legem
24
Those who are wayward in spirit will gain understanding; those who complain will accept instruction.”
