¶ The .xix. Chapter.
¶ Iob recyteth hys myseries and greuouse paynes, He
prophesyeth of the generall resurreccyon.
A Iob answered, and sayde: how longe
will ye vexe my soule, and trouble
me with wordes? Lo &rhand; ten
tymes haue ye reproued me: and
are not a shamed, for to laugh me so to scorne:
yf I go wronge, I go wronge to my selfe.
But yf ye will enhaunce your selues
agaynst me, and accuse me to be a wycked
personne because of the shame that is come
vpon me: knowe this then, that it is God,
which hath handled me so viol&ebar;tly and hath
compased me aboute with his nette. Yf I
note c&obar;playne of the viol&ebar;ce þt; is done vnto me,
I cannot be herde. And yf I crye, there is no
-- --
sentence geuen with me. He hath hedged vp
my waye, that I cannot passe, and he hath
set darcknesse in my pathes. note
B He hath spoyled
me of myne honoure, and tak&ebar; þe; crowne
awaye fro my head. He hath destroyed me
on euery syde, and I am vndone: My hope
hath he taken awaye fro me, as it were a tre pluckt
vp by the rote. His wrath is kyndled
agaynst me: he taketh me, as though I were
hys enemy.
&rhand; Hys men of warre came together,
which made their waye ouer me, &abar;d beseged
my dwellynge ro&ubar;de aboute. noteHe hath put
my brethren farre awaye fro me, and soch as
were of myne acquayntance, are become
straungers vnto me. noteMyne awne kynsfolkes
haue forsak&ebar; me, and my frendes haue
put me out of rem&ebar;braunce.
C The serua&ubar;tes
and maydens of myne awne house toke
me for a straunger: and I am be come as an
aleaunt in theyr syght.
I called my seruaunt, and he gaue me no
answere, no though I prayed him with my
mouth. Myne awne wyfe myght not abyde
my breth, I was fayne to speake fayre for
the chyldren of myne awne body. Yee, þe; children
despysed me: And wh&ebar; I was gone fr&obar;
them, they spake euell vpon me. All soch as
were my most familiers, abhorred me: and
they whom I loued best, are turned agaynst
me. My bone hangeth to my skynne and my
flesh is awaye, only there is left me þe; skynne
aboute my teth.
D Haue pyte vpon me, haue
pyte vpon me (O ye my frendes) for the h&abar;d
of God hath touched me. Why do ye persecute
me as God doth, and are not satisfyed
of my flesshe?
O that my wordes were nowe written
O that they were put in a boke: wolde God
they were grauen with an yron penne in leade
or in stone to c&obar;tinue. For I am sure, that
my redemer lyueth, and that I hall ryse out
of the earth in the latter daye: that I shall be
clothed agayne with this skynne, &abar;d se God
in my flesh. Yee, I my selfe shall beholde him,
not with other, but with these same eyes.
My reynes are c&obar;sumed within me: dyd not
ye saye: why doth he soffer persecucion? Is
theyr founde an occasion in me? But be warre
of the swearde, for the swearde wylbe au&ebar;ged
of wyckednesse, and be sure, that there is
a iudgement.
