CHAP. II.
1 He exhorteth the seruants of God to righteousnesse, loue, vnderstanding,
and patience, 11 To trust in the Lorde. 13 A curse
vpon them that are faint hearted and impatient.
1 My sonne, if thou wilt come into the seruice of
God, [stand fast in righteousnesse and feare,
and] prepare thy soule to tentation.
2 Settle thine heart, and be patient: [bowe
downe thine eare, and receiue the wordes of vnderstanding,]
and shrinke not away, when thou art assayled,
[but waite vpon God patiently.]
3 Ioyne thy selfe vnto him, and depart not away,
that thou mayest be increased at thy last end.
4 Whatsoeuer commeth vnto thee, receiue it
patiently, & be patient in þe; change of thine afflicti&obar;.
5 noteFor as gold [and siluer are] tryed in the fire,
eu&ebar; so are men acceptable in þe; fornace of aduersitie.
6 Beleeue in God, and he will helpe thee: order
thy way aright, and trust in him: [hold fast his feare,
and growe olde therein.]
7 Ye that feare the Lorde, waite for his mercie
shrinke not away from him that ye fall not.
8 Ye that feare the Lord, beleeue him, and your
reward shall not faile.
9 O ye that feare þe; Lorde, trust in good things,
and in the euerlasting ioy and mercie.
10 [Ye that feare the Lorde, loue him, and your
hearts shall be lightened.]
11 Consider the olde generations [of men, ye
children,] and marke them well: note was there euer
any confounded, that put his trust in the Lorde? or
who hath continued in his feare, & was forsaken? or
whom did he euer despise, that called vpon him?
12 For God is gracious and mercifull, and forgiueth
sinnes, & saueth in the time of trouble, [and is
a defender for al them that seeke him in the trueth.]
13 Woe vnto them, that haue a note fearefull heart,
[and to the wicked lips] and to the faint hands, and
-- --
to the sinner that goeth two note maner of waies.
14 Woe vnto him that is faint hearted, for hee
beleeueth not: therefore shall he not be defended.
15 Woe vnto you that haue lost patience, [and
haue forsaken the right waies, and are turned backe
into froward waies:] for what will ye doe when the
Lord shall visite you?
16 They that feare the Lord, wil not disobey his
worde: and they that note loue him, wil keepe his waies.
17 They that feare the Lorde, will seeke out the
things that are pleasant vnto him: and they that loue
him, shalbe fulfilled with his Lawe.
18 [They that feare the Lord, will prepare their
hearts, and humble their soules in his sight.
19 They that feare the Lorde, keepe his c&obar;mandements,
and will be patient till he see them,
20 Saying, If we doe not repent] we shal fal into
þe; hands of the Lord, & not into the hands of men.
21 Yet as his greatnesse is, so is his mercie.
