Job - caput 25Job - chapter 25

1 Respondens autem Baldad Suhites, dixit:

Then Baldad the Suhite answered, and I said:

2 Potestas et terror apud eum est, qui facit concordiam in sublimibus suis.

Power and terror are with him, who maketh peace in his high places.

3 Numquid est numerus militum ejus? et super quem non surget lumen illius?

Is there any numbering of his soldiers? and upon whom shall not his light arise?

4 Numquid justificari potest homo comparatus Deo? aut apparere mundus natus de muliere?

Can man be justified compared with God, or he that is born of a woman appear clean?

5 Ecce luna etiam non splendet, et stellæ non sunt mundæ in conspectu ejus:

Behold even the moon doth not shine, and the stars are not pure in his sight.

6 quanto magis homo putredo, et filius hominis vermis!

How much less man that is rottenness and the son of man who is a worm?

About Vulgate

The Vulgate is a late-4th-century Latin translation of the Bible that was to become the Catholic Church's officially promulgated Latin version of the Bible during the 16th century, and is still used fundamentally in the Latin Church to this day.

The translation was largely the work of Jerome, who in 382 had been commissioned by Pope Damasus I to revise the Vetus Latina ("Old Latin") Gospels then in use by the Roman Church. Jerome, on his own initiative, extended this work of revision and translation to include most of the books of the Bible and once published, the new version became widely adopted and over succeeding centuries eventually eclipsed the Vetus Latina, so that by the 13th century it had taken over from the former version the appellation of versio vulgata (the "version commonly used") or vulgata for short.

The Catholic Church affirmed the Vulgate as its official Latin Bible at the Council of Trent (1545–1563), though there was no authoritative edition at that time. The Clementine edition of the Vulgate of 1592 became the standard Bible text of the Roman Rite of the Catholic Church and remained so until 1979 when the Nova Vulgata was promulgated.
