805:1
I bid. — Et anima ejus quodcunque voluit, hoc fecit. 47. — Deo nec illa obsistunt quae contra voluntatem illius fieri videntur. — Cum sit cunctis corporibus ex- terior, cunctis mentibus interior Deus, ea ipsa vis ejus, qua omnia penetrat, cunctaque disponit, anima illius appellatur. Cujus videlicet voluntati nec illa obsistunt, quae contra voluntatem illius fieri viden- tur, quia ad hoc nonnunquam permittit fieri etiam quod non praecipit, ut per hoc illud certius impleatur quod jubet. Apostatae quippe angeli perversa voluntas est, sed tamen a Deo mirabiliter ordinatur, ut ipsae quoque ejus insidiae utilitati bonorum serviant, quos purgant dum tentant.
Same verse. — And His soul, whatsoever it willed, this it did. 47. — Not even those things withstand God which seem to be done contrary to His will. — Since God is exterior to all bodies and interior to all minds, that very power of His, by which He penetrates all things and disposes all, is called His soul. To whose will not even those things are opposed which seem to be done contrary to His will, because to this end He sometimes permits even that to be done which He does not command, so that thereby that may the more surely be fulfilled which He does enjoin. The will of the apostate angel is indeed perverse, yet is wondrously ordered by God, so that even his very snares serve the profit of the good, whom he purges while he tempts.
同節。——「祂的心願意甚麼，就作成甚麼。」四十七、——甚至那些看似違背神旨意而發生之事，也不能抗拒神。——既然神在一切形體之外，又在一切心靈之內，祂那穿透萬有、安排一切的能力，便被稱為祂的心。甚至那些看似違背祂旨意而發生之事，也不能與祂的旨意相抗，因為祂有時容許連祂所未吩咐的也被行出，好使祂所命定的藉此更確實地得以成就。背道天使的心意固然邪惡，卻奇妙地被神所安排，以致連他的詭計也服事善人的益處——他試探善人之時，正潔淨了善人。
805:2
Sic itaque ejus anima quod- cunque voluit hoc fecit, ut inde quoque voluntatem suam impleat, unde voluntati illius repugnari vide- batur. Terreatur ergo vir justus, et tantae majestatis pondus considerans, infirmum se esse deprehendat· 48. Sed inter verba haec percunctari libet, ac dice- re: 0 beate Job, inter tot flagella positus cur adhuc adversa formidas? jam tribulationibus cingeris, jam innumeris afflictionibus angustaris. Malum timeri debet quod necdum susceptum est; tu in tanto posi- tus dolore quid metuis? Sed ecce vir justus nostris inquisitionibus satisfaciens adjungit:
Thus therefore His soul, whatsoever it willed, this it did, so that thence too He fulfills His will, whence it seemed that His will was resisted. Let the righteous man therefore be affrighted, and, considering the weight of so great a Majesty, let him discover that he is weak. 48. But amid these words it pleases us to inquire and to say: O blessed Job, placed amid so many scourges, why dost thou still dread adversities? Already thou art girded with tribulations, already thou art straitened with countless afflictions. That evil ought to be feared which has not yet been received; thou, placed in such great sorrow, what dost thou fear? But behold, the righteous man, satisfying our inquiries, adds:
因此，祂的心願意甚麼，就作成甚麼，以致祂連從那看似有人抗拒祂旨意之處，也成就了祂的旨意。所以，願義人戰兢，並在思量如此偉大威嚴的重量之時，發覺自己是軟弱的。四十八、但在這些話之間，我們樂意查問並說：蒙福的約伯啊，你既身處如此眾多的鞭打之中，為何仍懼怕災禍呢？你已被患難所纏，已被無數的苦難所困。當懼怕的，是那尚未臨到的禍患；你既身處如此大的痛苦中，還懼怕甚麼呢？但看哪，義人為滿足我們的查問，接著說：
