JOB 4:16 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 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.

4.16 Stetit quidam. Ibid. Ut incomprehensibilia se novisse judicent, etc., usque ad quia bonum commune specialiter sibi arrogavit. Inhorruerunt pili carnis meæ. Ibid. Pili sunt superflua quælibet humanæ corruptionis cogitationes vitæ veteris: quas si a mente excludimus, pilos carne incidimus, ut non dolore fatigemur. Unde Moyses: Levitæ radant omnes pilos carnis suæ Levit. 14.. Hæc autem subtilius in nobis conspicimus, cum alta penetramus, unde recte nunc dicitur: Cum spiritus transiret. Cum enim mens vera videt, durius se de superfluis cruciat. Transeunte ergo spiritu, pili pertimescunt, quia ante vim compunctionis superfluæ cogitationes fugiunt, quia intima visio animam contra se inflammat; et dum illicita districte resecat, mens latius speculationi inhæret, et bene figit spiritum qui transibat, nec tamen hæc ipsa mora contemplationis vim pietatis plene aperit, unde subdit: Stetit quidam cujus non agnoscebam vultum. Ibid. Quidam non dicitur, etc., usque ad per coæternam ejus speciem conspicit, subdit: Imago coram oculis me. Imago Patris Filius est, qui dicit: Nemo venit ad Patrem, nisi per me. Et vocem quasi auræ lenis audivi. Ibid. Vox auræ, cognitio, etc., usque ad qui ex hoc auditu, didicit.
