The .xiij. Chapter.
Iob reproueth hys frendes with theyr awne sayinges,
and condemneth hypocrysye.
A Lo, all this haue I sene with
myne eye, hearde with myne
eare, ∧ vnderstand it. Loke what
ye knowe, that same do I knowe
also, nether am I inferior vnto
you. Neuerthelesse I am purposed to talke
with the almyghtie, ∧ my desyre is to comen
with God. As for you, ye are worckmaisters
of lyes, and vnprofytable Physicians all together.
Woulde God ye kepte youre tonge,
that ye myght be taken for wyse men. Therfore
heare my wordes, ∧ pondre the sentence
of my lyppes. Wyll ye make answere for
God wyth lyes, and maynteyne hym with
disceate? Wyll ye accepte þe; persone of God,
and intreate for hym?
B Shall that helpe you,
when he calleth you to rekoning. Thynke ye
to begyle him, as a man is begyled? He shall
punysh you, ∧ reproue you, yf ye do secretly
accepte any persone. Shall he not make you
afrayed, when he sheweth hym selfe? Shall
not his terrible feare fall vpon you? Youre
remembraunce shalbe lyke vnto the dust, and
youre pride shalbe turned to claye. Holde
youre tonges now, and let me speake, for
there is some thinge come into my mynde.
C 05Q0328Wherfore do I beare my flesh in my teth,
and myne soule in myne handes? Lo, there
is nether conforte nor hope for me, yf he wyll
slaye me. But yf I shewe and reproue myne
owne wayes in his syght, he is euen the same
that maketh me whole: and why? there maye
no hypocrite come before hym. Heare my
-- --
wordes, and pondre my sayinges with youre
eares. 05Q0329Beholde, now haue I prepared my
iudgement, and knowe that I shalbe founde
ryghtwes. What is he, that wyll go to lawe
with me? For yf I holde my tonge, I shall
dye. Neuerthelesse graunte me two thinges,
and then wyll I not hyde my selfe from the.
Withdrawe thyne hande from me, and let
not þe; fearfull drede of the make me afrayed.
And then sende for me to the lawe, that I
maye answere for my selfe: or els, let me
speake, and geue thou the answere. Howe
greate are my mysdedes and synnes? Let me
knowe my transgressions and offences.
05Q0330Wherfore hydest thou thy face, and holdest
me for thyne enemye? Wilt thou be so
cruel and extreme vnto a flyinge leafe, and
folowe vpon drye stubble? That thou layest
so sharpely to my charge, and wilt vtterlye
vndo me, for the synnes of my youth? Thou
hast put my fote in the stockes: thou lokest
narowly vnto all my pathes, ∧ markest the
steppes of my fete: were as I (notwithstandynge)
must consume lyke as a foule carion,
and as a cloth that is moth aten.
