The .xvj. Chapter.
1 Iob moued by the importunacie of his friendes, 7 counteth in what extremitie
he is, 19 and taketh God witnes of his innocencie.
A
1 Iob aunswered, ∧
saide:
2 I haue oft times
heard such thinges:
note miserable geuers
of comfort
are ye all the sort
of you.
3 noteShall not vaine
wordes come yet to an ende? Or what
maketh thee bolde so to aunswere?
4 I coulde speake as ye do also: but
would God that your note soule were in
my soules steade, then could I frame
wordes for you, and shake my head at
you:
5 I shoulde comfort you with my mouth,
∧ releasse your paine with the talking
of my lippes.
6 For all my wordes my sorowe wyll
not ceasse: And note though I holde my
tongue, what am I eased?
7 But now that [God] hath sent me aduersitie,
thou hast troubled al note my congregation.
8 And that thou note hast filled me with
wrinckles my fleshe is recorde, and my
leanenesse ryseth vp against me and
beareth witnes thereof in my face.
9 His wrath hath torne [me] he hateth
me, ∧ gnasheth vpon me with his teeth:
myne enemie loketh fiercely vpon me
with his eyes.
10 They haue opened their mouthes
wide vpon me, and note smitten me vpon
the cheeke dispitefully, they gather th&ebar;
selues together against me.
11 God hath shut me vp with the vngodly,
and deliuered me note into the handes
of the wicked.
-- --
12 I was in wealth, but he hath brought
me to nought: he hath taken me by the
necke, he hath all to shaken me, and set
me as a marke for him selfe.
13 His note archers compasse me rounde about,
he woundeth my raines, and doth
not spare, my bowels hath he powred
vpon the grounde.
14 He hath geuen me one wounde vpon
an other, and is fallen vpon me lyke a
giaunt.
15 I haue sowed a sackecloth vpon my
skinne, and wallowed my head in the
dust.
16 My face is withered with weeping,
∧ in mine eyes is the shadowe of death.
17 Howbeit there is no note wickednesse in
my handes, but note my prayer is cleane.
18 O earth couer not thou my blood, and
let note my crying finde no roome.
19 For lo, note my witnesse is in heauen, and
he that knoweth me, is in the height.
20 My friendes geue me many wordes
to scorne, and myne eye powreth out
teares vnto God.
21 O that a body might pleate with God,
as one man doth with an other:
22 Yet the number of my yeres is come,
and the way that I must go is at hand,
from whence I shall not turne againe.
