CHAP. XVII. 1 Iob sayth that he consumeth away, and yet doeth paciently abide it. 10 He exhorteth his friends to repentance, 13 shewing that he looketh but for death.


1   My breath is corrupt: my dayes are cut off, & the graue is readie for me.


2   There are none but note mockers with mee, & mine eye continueth in note their bitternesse.


3    noteLay downe nowe and put me in suretie for thee: who is hee, that note will touch mine hand?


4   For thou hast hid their heart from note vnderstanding: therefore shalt thou not set them vp on hie. No hope in prosperitie.


5    noteFor the eyes of his children shall faile, that speaketh flattery to his friends.


6   Hee hath also made mee a note byword of the people, and I am as a Tabret note before them.


7   Mine eye therefore is dimme for griefe, and all my strength is like a shadowe.


8   The righteous shalbe astonied at note this, and the innocent shalbe moued against þe; hypocrite.


9   But the righteous wil holde his note way, & he whose hands are pure, shall increase his strength.


10   All note you therefore turne you, and come nowe, and I shall not finde one wise among you.


11   My dayes are past, mine enterprises are broken, and the thoughts of mine heart


12   Haue changed the note nyght for the day, and the light that approched, for darkenesse.


13   Though I hope, note yet the graue shall bee mine house, and I shal make my bed in the darke.


14   I shall say to corruption, Thou art my note father, and to the worme, Thou art my mother and my sister.


15   Where is then now mine hope? or who shal consider the thing, that I hoped for?


16    noteThey shal goe downe into the bottome of the pit: surely it shall lye together in the dust.
