The XII. Chapter.
A So Iob answered, and sayde: Then
(no doute) ye are the men alone, and
wy&esset;dome shal perish with you. But
I haue vnderst&obar;dinge as well as ye, and am
no lesse then ye. Yee who knoweth not these
thinges? Thus he that calleth vp&obar; God, and
whom God heareth, is mocked of his neghboure:
the godly ∧ innocent man is laughed
to scorne. Godlynesse is a light despysed
in þe; hertes of the rich, ∧ is set for them to
stomble vpon.
-- --
The houses of robbers are in wealth and
prosperite, ∧ they that maliciously medle agaynst
God, dwel without care: yee God geueth
all thinges richely with his honde.
B Axe the catell, ∧ they shal enfourme the:
the foules of the ayre, and they shall tell þe;:
Speake to the earth, and it shall shewe the:
Or to the fyshes of the see, and they shal certifie
the. What is he, but he knoweth, that þe;
h&obar;de of the LORDE made all these? In whose
honde is the soule of euery lyuynge thinge,
and the breth of all men. noteHaue not the eares
pleasure in hearinge, note and the mouth in
tastinge the thinge that it eateth? Amonge
olde personnes there is wy&esset;dome, and amonge
the aged is vnderst&obar;dinge. Yee with God
is wy&esset;dome and strength, it is he that hath
councell ∧ foreknowlege. Yf he breake downe
a thinge, who can set it vp agayne? Yf he
shutt a thinge, who wil open it? noteBeholde, yf
he witholde the waters, they drye vp: Yf he
let th&ebar; go, they destroye the earth. With him
is strength and wy&esset;dome: he knoweth both
the disceauer, and him that is disceaued.
C He carieth awaye the wyse men, as it were
a spoyle, and bryngeth the iudges out of
their wyttes. He lowseth the gyrdle of kynges,
and gyrdeth their loynes with a bonde.
he ledeth awaye the prestes into captiuyte,
and turneth the mightie vp syde downe. He
taketh the verite from out of the mouth, note ∧
disapoynteth þe; aged of their wy&esset;dome. He
poureth out confucion vpon prynces, and c&obar;forteth
them that haue bene oppressed. noteLoke
what lyeth hyd in darcknesse, he declareth
it op&ebar;ly: and the very shadowe of death bringeth
he to light. He both increaseth the people,
and destroyeth them: He maketh them
to multiplie, and dryueth them awaye. He
chaungeth the herte of the prynces and kynges
of the earth, and disapoynteth them: so
that they go w&abar;dringe out of the waye, and
grope in the darke without light, stackeringe
to and fro like droncken men.
