CAP. XVIII.
1 Answerende forsothe Baldath Suythes
seide,
2 In to what ende woordis thou shalt
boste? Vnderstond rathere, and so speke
wee.
3 Whi be wee holden as bestis, and
-- --
wee han waxe foul before thee?
4 What
lesist thou thi soule in thi wodnesse?
Whether for thee the erthe shal be forsaken,
and rochis shal be translatid fro
ther placis?
5 Whether the li&yogh;t of the
wycke man shal not be quenchid; ne
the flaume of his fyr shal shyne?
6 Li&yogh;t
shal waxe derk in his tabernacle; and
the lanterne that is vpon hym shal be
quenchid.
7 The goingis of his vertue
shul be streitid; and his counseyl shal
putten hym doun.
8 Forsothe he putte
in his feet in to the nett; and in his
filthis he goth.
9 His sole shal ben holde
with a grene; and thrist shal brenne out
a&yogh;en hym.
10 His foot grene is hid in the
erthe, and his desceyuende gyn vp on
the sty.
11 Al aboute feris shul gasten
hym, and withinne wrappen his feet.
12 His strengthe shal ben feblid with hunger;
and scarsnesse of mete asaile his ribbis.
13 Deuoure it the fairnesse of hys skin; the
firste goten deth waste the armys of hym.
14 His trost be pullid vp fro his tabernacle;
and deth trede vp on hym, as a king al
aboue.
15 Dwellen his felawis in the tabernacle
of hym that is not; brumston be
sprengd in his tabernacle.
16 Doun be
dried his rootis; aboue forsothe be totreden
his rip.
17 The mynde of hym
pershe fro the erthe; and his name be
not maad solempne in stretis.
18 He shal
putten hym out fro li&yogh;t in to dercnessis;
and fro the roundnesse ouerbern hym.
19 His sed ne progenye shal ben in his
puple, ne any remnaunt in the regiouns
of hym.
20 In his da&yogh;es the laste men shul
stone&yogh;en; and grising shal asaile the firste.
21 These thanne ben the tabernaclis of the
wicke man; and this his place, that
vnknowith God.
