| 11:17 | For thy all-powerful hand, which created the world out of formless matter, did not lack the means to send upon them a multitude of bears, or bold lions, | 11:17 | For not without means was your almighty hand, that had fashioned the universe from formless matter, to send upon them a drove of bears or fierce lions, | 11:17 | For thy Almighty hand, that made the world of matter without form, wanted not means to send among them a multitude of bears or fierce lions, | 11:17 | That they might know that by what things a man sinneth, by the same also he is tormented. | 11:17 | ut scirent quia per quae peccat quis per haec et torquetur | 11:17 | Non enim impossibilis erat omnipotens manus tua, quae creavit orbem terrarum ex materia informi, immittere illis multitudinem ursorum aut audaces leones |
| 11:18 | or newly created unknown beasts full of rage, or such as breathe out fiery breath, or belch forth a thick pall of smoke, or flash terrible sparks from their eyes; | 11:18 | Or new-created, wrathful, unknown beasts to breathe forth fiery breath, Or pour out roaring smoke, or flash terrible sparks from their eyes. | 11:18 | Or unknown wild beasts, full of rage, newly created, breathing out either a fiery vapour, or filthy scents of scattered smoke, or shooting horrible sparkles out of their eyes: | 11:18 | For thy almighty hand, which made the world of matter without form, was not unable to send upon them a multitude of bears, or fierce lions, | 11:18 | non enim inpossibilis erat omnipotens manus tua quae creavit orbem terrarum ex materia invisa inmittere illis multitudinem ursorum aut audaces leones | 11:18 | aut recens conditas ira plenas ignotas bestias aut vaporem igneum spirantes aut fumi fremitum proferentes aut horrendas ab oculis scintillas fulgurantes, |
| 11:19 | not only could their damage exterminate men, but the mere sight of them could kill by fright. | 11:19 | Not only could these attack and completely destroy them; even their frightful appearance itself could slay. | 11:19 | Whereof not only the harm might dispatch them at once, but also the terrible sight utterly destroy them. | 11:19 | Or unknown beasts of a new kind, full of rage: either breathing out a fiery vapour, or sending forth a stinking smoke, or shooting horrible sparks out of their eyes: | 11:19 | aut novi generis ira plenas et ignotas bestias aut vaporem igneum spirantes aut odorem fumi proferentes aut horrendas ab oculis scintillas emittentes | 11:19 | quarum non solum laesura poterat illos exterminare, sed et aspectus per timorem occidere. |
| 11:20 | Even apart from these, men could fall at a single breath when pursued by justice and scattered by the breath of thy power. But thou hast arranged all things by measure and number and weight. | 11:20 | Even without these, they could have been killed at a single blast, pursued by retribution and winnowed out by your mighty spirit; But you have disposed all things by measure and number and weight. | 11:20 | Yea, and without these might they have fallen down with one blast, being persecuted of vengeance, and scattered abroad through the breath of thy power: but thou hast ordered all things in measure and number and weight. | 11:20 | Whereof not only the hurt might be able to destroy them, but also the very sight might kill them through fear. | 11:20 | quarum non solum laesura poterat illos exterminare sed et aspectus per timorem occidere | 11:20 | Sed et sine his uno spiritu poterant occidi, persecutionem passi a iustitia, et dispersi per spiritum virtutis tuae. Sed omnia in mensura et numero et pondere disposuisti. |
| 11:21 | For it is always in thy power to show great strength, and who can withstand the might of thy arm? | 11:21 | For with you great strength abides always; who can resist the might of your arm? | 11:21 | For thou canst shew thy great strength at all times when thou wilt; and who may withstand the power of thine arm? | 11:21 | Yea and without these, they might have been slain with one blast, persecuted by their own deeds, and scattered by the breath of thy power: but thou hast ordered all things in measure, and number, and weight. | 11:21 | sed et sine his uno spiritu occidi poterant persecutionem passi ab ipsis factis suis et dispersi per spiritum virtutis tuae sed omnia mensura et numero et pondere disposuisti | 11:21 | Multum enim valere tibi soli subest semper, et virtuti brachii tui quis resistet? |
| 11:22 | Because the whole world before thee is like a speck that tips the scales, and like a drop of morning dew that falls upon the ground. | 11:22 | 4 Indeed, before you the whole universe is as a grain from a balance, or a drop of morning dew come down upon the earth. | 11:22 | For the whole world before thee is as a little grain of the balance, yea, as a drop of the morning dew that falleth down upon the earth. | 11:22 | For great power always belonged to thee alone: and who shall resist the strength of thy arm? | 11:22 | multum enim valere tibi soli superat semper et virtuti brachii tui quis resistet | 11:22 | Quoniam tamquam momentum staterae, sic est ante te totus orbis terrarum, et tamquam gutta roris antelucani, quae descendit in terram. |
