11:2

Numquid qui multa loquitur, non et audiet ? aut vir verbosus justificabitur ?

“Shouldn’t the multitude of words be answered? Should a man full of talk be justified?

這許多的言語豈不該回答嗎？多嘴多舌的人豈可稱為義嗎？

Tibi soli tacebunt homines ? et cum ceteros irriseris, a nullo confutaberis ?

Should your boastings make men hold their peace? When you mock, will no man make you ashamed?

11:6

ut ostenderet tibi secreta sapientiae, et quod multiplex esset lex ejus : et intelligeres quod multo minora exigaris ab eo quam meretur iniquitas tua !

that he would show you the secrets of wisdom! For true wisdom has two sides. Know therefore that God exacts of you less than your iniquity deserves.

Forsitan vestigia Dei comprehendes, et usque ad perfectum Omnipotentem reperies ?

“Can you fathom the mystery of God? Or can you probe the limits of the Almighty?

Excelsior caelo est, et quid facies ? profundior inferno, et unde cognosces ?

They are high as heaven. What can you do? They are deeper than Sheol. What can you know?

Longior terra mensura ejus, et latior mari.

Its measure is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.

其量比地長，比海寬。
