St. Ambrose’s
rendering of this passage (Job
xxxviii. 36) agrees with the
LXX.—τίς
δὲ ἔδωκε
γυναιξὶν
ὑφάσματος
σοφίαν, ἤ
ποικιλτικὴν
ἐλιστήμην.
The A.V. 1611 has: “Who hath put wisdom in the inward
parts? or who hath given understanding to the heart?” R.V.
has “dark clouds” and “meteor” as marginal
substitutes for “inward parts” and
“heart.” Vulgate—Quis posuit in visceribus
hominis sapientiam? vel quis dedit gallo intelligentiam?
