JOB 1:16 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

1.16 Ignis Dei cecidit e cœlo. Cœlum doctores legis, sacerdotes, de quibus ignis invidiæ cadit super oves et pueros, id est, innocentes et infirmos.

Ignis de cœlo, id est, ab æreis potestatibus flamma livoris irruit, et sæpe mundas cogitationes ardore libidinis accendit: qui ignis est Dei, non facientis, sed permittentis; et quia subito impulsu circumspectiones obruuntur, custodes pueri occiduntur.
