¶ The .xi. Chapter.
¶ Iob ys vniustly reprehended of Sophar. God is
incomprehensyble. He ys mercyfull to the repentaunce.
A Then answered Sophar the Naamathite,
and sayde: Shulde not he
that maketh many wordes, be answered?
Shuld he þt; bableth moch,
be comm&ebar;ded therin? Shulde men geue eare
vnto the onely? Thou wilt laugh other men
to scorne, and shal no body mock the againe?
Wylt thou saye vnto God. The thyng that
I take in hande is perfecte, and I am cleane
in thy syght? O that God wolde speake, and
open his lyppes agaynst the, that he myght
shewe the (out of his secrete wysdome) why
he rewardeth the double as he was appoynted
B
to do: then shuldest thou knowe, þt; God
had forgotten the because of thy synne.
Art thou able to fynde out the secretes of
God? Or wylt thou attayne to the perfectnesse
of the almyghtye? He is hyer then heauen,
what arte thou able to do? Deper then
the hell, how wilt thou then know him? His
length exceadeth the length of the earth, and
hys bredth the bredth of the see. Though he
turne all thinges vp syde downe, close them
in, gather them togeather, who wyll turne
hym from his purpose? (Or who maye saye vnto
hym, why doest thou so.)
noteFor it is he that knoweth the vanite of
men: he seyth theyr wyckednesse also, shulde
he not then considre it? A vayne body exalteth
hym selfe, and man new borne is lyke a
wylde asses colte.
C If thou haddest nowe a
ryght hert, and lyftedst vp thyne handes towarde
hym: yf thou woldest put awaye the
wickednes which thou hast in hande, so that
no vngodlynesse dwell in thy house. Then
myghtest thou lyft vp thy face without shame,
and then shuldest thou be sure, and haue
no nede to feare.
Then shuldest thou forget thy miserye, ∧
thyncke nomore vpon it then vpon the waters
that runne by. Then shuld the residue of
thy lyfe be as cleare as the noone daye, and
sprynge forth as the mornyng. Then mightest
thou haue c&obar;forte,
D in the hope that thou
hast: and slepe quyetly, wh&ebar; thou art buried.
Then shuldest thou take thy rest, ∧ no man
to make the afrayed, yee, many one shuld set
moch by the. As for the eyes of the vngodly,
they shalbe consumed, and not escape: theyr
hope shalbe misery and sorow of mynde.
