The .xxix. Chapter.
1 Iob complayneth of the prosperitie of the time past. 7. His
auctoritie, 12 iustice and equite.
1 So Iob proceeded and
went foorth in his parable,
saying:
2 O that I were as I
was in the monethes
by past, and in the daies
when God preserued
me:
3 When his note light shined vpon my head,
when I went after the same light and
shining, euen through the darknesse:
4 As it stoode with me when I was
young, when God prospered my house:
5 When the almightie was yet with
me, when my children stoode about
me:
6 When my wayes note ranne ouer with
butter, and when the stonie rockes gaue
me riuers of oyle:
7 When I went out to the gate, euen to
the iudgement seate, and when I prepared
my seate in the streete:
-- --
8 The note young men saw me and hid them
selues, and the note aged arose, and stoode
vp.
9 The note princes left of their talking, and
layed their hand to their mouth:
10 The mightie kept still their voyce, and
their tongue cleaued to the roofe of their
mouth.
11 When the eare heard me, it blessed me: ∧
when the eye sawe me, it gaue witnesse
to me:
12 For I note deliuered the poore when he
cryed, and the fatherlesse, and hym that
had none to helpe hym.
13 The blessing of him that was redy to
perishe came vpon me, and I caused the
widowes heart to reioyce.
14 And why? I put vpon me righteousnesse,
which couered me as a note garment,
and equitie was my crowne.
15 I was an eye to the blinde, and a foote
to the lame.
16 I was a father to the poore: and when
I knewe not the cause, I sought it out
diligently.
17 I brake the note iawes of the vnrighteous
man, and pluckt the spoyle out of his
teeth.
18 Then I sayde, I shall die in my note nest:
and I shall multiplie my dayes as the
sande.
19 For my note roote was spread out by the
waterside: and the note deawe lay vpon
my note corne.
20 Myne honour encreased more and
more, ∧ my bow was note euer the stronger
in my hande.
21 Unto me men gaue eare, me they regarded,
and with scilence they taried for
my counsell.
22 After my woordes they replied not,
and my talke dropped vpon them.
23 They note wayted for me as for the raine:
and gaped vpon me, as [the grounde doeth
to receaue] the latter shoure.
24 When I laughed, they beleued it not,
∧ the light of my countenaunce would
they not put out.
25 When I agreed vnto their way, I
was the chiefe, and sate as a king with
his armie about him: and when they
were in heauinesse, I was their comfortour.
