¶ The .xvij. Chapter.
¶ Iob sayth that he consumeth awaye, and yet doth
paciently abyde yt.
A My breth stincketh, my dayes are
shortened. I am harde at deathes
dore. Froward men are &wt;
me, and myne eye must continue
in the bitternesse of them. O deliuer
me, and loke out one to be my suertie
in thy sight, what is he that knoweth who
will promes for me? For thou hast with holden
their hertes from vnderstandynge,
B therfore
shalt thou not sett (them) vp on hye. He
promiseth his frendes parte of his good, but
his awne children spende it. He hath made
me as it were a byworde of the people: where
as afore, I was theyr ioye. Myne eye is
dymme, for very heuynesse, ∧ all my str&ebar;gth
is become like a shadow. Uertuous m&ebar; therfore
shall well consydre this, and the innoc&ebar;t
shall take parte agaynst the ypocrite.
C The righteous also will kepe hys waye,
and he that hath cleane handes, wyll euer be
stronger and stronger. As for you, turne
you, and get you hence (I praye you) seynge
I cannot fynde one wyse man amonge you:
My dayes are past, and my councels and
thoughtes of my hart are vanysshed awaye
chaungynge the night into daye, and þe; light
into darcknes. Though I tary neuer so
moch, yet the graue is my house, and I haue
made my bed in the darcke.
D I call corrupcyon
my father, and the wormes call I my
mother and my syster. What helpeth then
my longe taryenge? Or, who hath considred
the thynge, that I loke for? All that I haue,
shall go downe into the pytt, and lye with
me in the dust.
