The Latin Vulgate VUL
American Standard Version ASV
1 iustus perit et nemo est qui recogitet in corde suo et viri misericordiae colliguntur quia non est qui intellegat a facie enim malitiae collectus est iustus
1
The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart; and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil [to come].
2 veniat pax requiescat in cubili suo qui ambulavit in directione sua
2
He entereth into peace; they rest in their beds, each one that walketh in his uprightness.
3 vos autem accedite huc filii auguratricis semen adulteri et fornicariae
3
But draw near hither, ye sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the harlot.
4 super quem lusistis super quem dilatastis os et eiecistis linguam numquid non vos filii scelesti semen mendax
4
Against whom do ye sport yourselves? against whom make ye a wide mouth, and put out the tongue? are ye not children of transgression, a seed of falsehood,
5 qui consolamini in diis subter omne lignum frondosum immolantes parvulos in torrentibus subter inminentes petras
5
ye that inflame yourselves among the oaks, under every green tree; that slay the children in the valleys, under the clefts of the rocks?
6 in partibus torrentis pars tua haec est sors tua et ipsis effudisti libamen obtulisti sacrificium numquid super his non indignabor
6
Among the smooth [stones] of the valley is thy portion; they, they are thy lot; even to them hast thou poured a drink-offering, thou hast offered an oblation. Shall I be appeased for these things?
7 super montem excelsum et sublimem posuisti cubile tuum et illuc ascendisti ut immolares hostias
7
Upon a high and lofty mountain hast thou set thy bed; thither also wentest thou up to offer sacrifice.
8 et post ostium et retro postem posuisti memoriale tuum quia iuxta me discoperuisti et suscepisti adulterum dilatasti cubile tuum et pepigisti cum eis dilexisti stratum eorum manu aperta
8
And behind the doors and the posts hast thou set up thy memorial: for thou hast uncovered [thyself] to another than me, and art gone up; thou hast enlarged thy bed, and made thee a covenant with them: thou lovedst their bed where thou sawest it.
9 et ornasti te regi unguento et multiplicasti pigmenta tua misisti legatos tuos procul et humiliata es usque ad inferos
9
And thou wentest to the king with oil, and didst increase thy perfumes, and didst send thine ambassadors far off, and didst debase thyself even unto Sheol.
10 in multitudine viae tuae laborasti non dixisti quiescam vitam manus tuae invenisti propterea non rogasti
10
Thou wast wearied with the length of thy way; yet saidst thou not, It is in vain: thou didst find a quickening of thy strength; therefore thou wast not faint.
11 pro quo sollicita timuisti quia mentita es et mei non es recordata neque cogitasti in corde tuo quia ego tacens et quasi non videns et mei oblita es
11
And of whom hast thou been afraid and in fear, that thou liest, and hast not remembered me, nor laid it to thy heart? have not I held my peace even of long time, and thou fearest me not?
12 ego adnuntiabo iustitiam tuam et opera tua non proderunt tibi
12
I will declare thy righteousness; and as for thy works, they shall not profit thee.
13 cum clamaveris liberent te congregati tui et omnes eos auferet ventus tollet aura qui autem fiduciam habet mei hereditabit terram et possidebit montem sanctum meum
13
When thou criest, let them that thou hast gathered deliver thee; but the wind shall take them, a breath shall carry them all away: but he that taketh refuge in me shall possess the land, and shall inherit my holy mountain.
14 et dicam viam facite praebete iter declinate de semita auferte offendicula de via populi mei
14
And he will say, Cast ye up, cast ye up, prepare the way, take up the stumbling-block out of the way of my people.
15 quia haec dicit Excelsus et Sublimis habitans aeternitatem et sanctum nomen eius in excelso et in sancto habitans et cum contrito et humili spiritu ut vivificet spiritum humilium et vivificet cor contritorum
15
For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite.
16 non enim in sempiternum litigabo neque usque ad finem irascar quia spiritus a facie mea egredietur et flatus ego faciam
16
For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth; for the spirit would faint before me, and the souls that I have made.
17 propter iniquitatem avaritiae eius iratus sum et percussi eum abscondi et indignatus sum et abiit vagus in via cordis sui
