¶ The .xij. Chapter.
¶ Iob shewyng hys pacyence declareth the
myght and power of God.
A So Iob answered, and sayd: Then
(no doute) ye are the men alone, ∧
wysdome shall perysh with you.
But I haue vnderst&abar;dyng as wel
as ye, and am no lesse then ye. Yee, who knoweth
not these thynges? Thus he that calleth
vpon God, and whom God heareth, is
mocked of hys neyghboure: the godly and
innocent man is laughed to scorne. Godlynes
is a lyght despysed in þe; hertes of the ryche,
and is set for them to stomble vpon. The
houses of robers are in wealth ∧ prosperite:
and they that malyciously medle agaynst
God, dwell without care, in those thynges
that God hath geuen rychely with hys
hande.
B Aske the catell, and they shall infourme
the: the foules of the ayre, and they shall tell
the. Or the increace of the earth, and it shall
shewe the. Or the fysshers of the see, &abar;d they
shall certifye þe;. What is he, but he knoweth
that the hande of the Lorde made all these?
noteIn whose h&abar;de is the soule of euery liuyng
thynge, and the breth of the flesh of all men.
noteHaue not the eares pleasure in hering, and
and the mouth in tastynge the thynge that
it eateth? noteAmonge olde personnes there is
wisdome, and in age is vnderstandyng. Yee,
with God is wysdome and strength, it is he
that hath councell and forknowledge. Beholde,
If he breake downe a thyng, who can
set it vp agayne? noteIf he shut a thynge, who
will open it? Behold, note yf he witholde þe; waters,
they drye vp. If he let them go, they destroye
the erth. With him is strength ∧ wysdome:
he knoweth both the disceauer ∧ hym
that is disceaued.
He carieth awaye the wyse m&ebar;, as it were
a spoyle, and bryngeth the iudges oute of
theyr wittes. He taketh awaye the subiecci&obar;
of the people from their kinges, and gyrdeth
theyr loynes with a bonde.
D He ledeth awaye
the greate men into captiuyte, and turneth
the mightye vpsyde downe. noteHe taketh the
veryte from out of the mouth, and disapointeth
the aged of theyr reason. He poureth
the confusion vpon prynces, and comforteth
them that haue bene oppressed. Loke note what
lyeth hyd in darcknes, he declareth it openly:
and the very shadowe of death bryngeth
he to lyght. He both increaseth the people, &abar;d
destroyeth them. He maketh them to multyplye,
and dryueth them awaye. He chaungeth
the herte of them that rule the people of
the earthe, and disapoynteth them: so that
they go wandrynge out of the waye, and
grope in the darcke without lyght: he maketh
th&ebar; also to stacker to and fro lyke dr&obar;cken
men.
