CAP. XIII.
1 Lo! alle thingus sa&yogh; myn e&yogh;e, and myn
ere herde; and I vnderstod alle thingus.
2 Aftyr &yogh;oure kunnyng and I knew&yogh;, ne the
-- --
nethere of &yogh;ou I am.
3 But nerthelater
to the Almy&yogh;ty I shal speke, and to dispute
with God I coueite;
4 rathere shewende
&yogh;ou forgeris of lesingus, and herieris
of shreude techingis.
5 And wolde God,
&yogh;ee heelde &yogh;oure pes, that &yogh;ee weren
weened wise men to ben.
6 Hereth thanne
my correcciouns; and to the dom of my
lippis taketh heede to.
7 Whether God
nedeth &yogh;oure lesing, that for hym &yogh;ee
speke treccheries?
8 Whether his face &yogh;ee
taken, and for God &yogh;ee enforcen to deme?
9 Or it shal plese to hym, whom hide no
thing mai? Or he shal be desceiued, as
a man, with oure gilis?
10 He &yogh;ou shal vndernyme;
for in hydelis his face &yogh;ee take.
11 Anoon as he stereth hymself, he shal disturbe
&yogh;ou; and his drede shal falle vp on
&yogh;ou.
12 &YOGH;oure mynde shal be comparisound
to askis; and &yogh;oure nollis shul be bro&yogh;t
a&yogh;een in to clei.
13 Beth stille a litil while,
that I speke, what euere thing to me the
mynde moue to.
14 Whi to-tere I my flesh
with my teth, and my soule I bere in
myn hondis?
15 Also if he sle me, in hym
I shal hope; nerthelatere my weies in
his si&yogh;te I shal vndernyme.
16 And he shal
be my sauyoure; forsothe ther shal not
come in his si&yogh;t eche ipocrite.
17 Hereth
my woord, and the derke speches parceyneth
with &yogh;oure eris.
18 If I shul be
demed, I wot that ri&yogh;twis I shal be
founde.
19 Who is he that be demed with
me? Come he; whi beende stille I am
wastid?
20 Two thingus onli ne do thou to
me; and thanne fro thi face I shal not
ben hid.
21 Thin hond fer do fro me; and
thi ferd gaste not me.
22 Clep me, and I
shal answeren to thee; or certis I shal
speke, and thou answere to me.
23 Hou
fele haue I wickidnessis and synnes? Myn
hidous trespasis and giltis sheu to me.
24 Whi thi face thou hidist, and demest me
-- --
thin enemy?
25 A&yogh;en a lef, that is raueshid
with the wind, thou shewist thi my&yogh;t;
and drie stobil thou pursuest.
26 Forsothe
thou writist a&yogh;en me bitternessis; and
waste me thou wilt with synnes of my
waxende &yogh;outhe.
27 Thou hast putte in
the stoc my foot, and thou hast waitid
alle my pathis; and the steppis of my
feet thou hast beholde.
28 The whiche as
rotenesse am to be wastid, and as clothing
that is eten of a mow&yogh;he.
1 A man
born of a womman, short time liuende,
is fulfild with many wrecchidnessis.
2 That as a flour goth out, and is totreden;
and fleth as shadewe, and neuere
in the same state abit stille.
3 And
wrthi thou bringist vpon such a man to
opene thin e&yogh;en; and to bringe hym with
thee in to dom?
4 Who mai make clene
the conceyued of vnclene sed? Whether
not thou, that art alone?
