¶ The .l. Chapter. ¶ The Iewes are reproued, and also called.

A   Thus sayth þe; Lord: note &rhand; where is þe; byll of your mothers deuorcement, that I sent her awaye? or who is þe; vsurer, to wh&obar; I solde you? noteBeholde, for your awne offences are ye solde, ∧ because of youre transgression, is youre mother forsak&ebar;. For why wolde no m&abar; receaue me, when I came? and when I called, no m&abar; gaue me answere. noteIs my hande shortened that it might not helpe? or haue I not power to deliuer? B   lo, note at a worde I dryncke vp the see note and of water floudes I make drye l&abar;de: so that for want of water, the fyshe corrupt and dye for thurst. noteAs for heauen, I clothe it with darcknesse, and put as it were a sack vpon it.

The Lorde God hath geu&ebar; me a well lerned tonge, note so that I can confort th&ebar; which are troubled: yee, and that in due ceason. He wakeneth myne eare vp by tymes in þe; mornynge: by tymes in the morninge, I saye, he will waken myne eare, that I myght herk&ebar; as to þe; scole masters. noteThe Lord God hath opened myne eare, therfore can I nott saye, naye: ner withdrawe my selfe: note but I offre my backe vnto the smyters, C   ∧ my chekes to the nippers. noteI turne not my face fr&obar;shame and spittyng, ∧ the Lord God shall helpe me: therfore shall I not be c&obar;fo&ubar;ded. I haue hardened my face like a flynt stone, for I am sure, þt; I shall not come to c&obar;fusi&obar;. He is at h&abar;d that iustifieth me, who will then go &wt; me to lawe? Let vs stande one against another: yf there be any þt; wyll reason with me, let hym come here forth to me. noteBeholde, the Lorde God standeth by me, what is he then þt; can c&obar;dempne me? lo, note they shalbe all like as an olde clothe, the mothe shall eate them vp.

Therfore, whoso feareth the Lord am&obar;g you, let him heare the voyce of his seruaunt, Whoso walketh in darcknesse, and no lyght shyneth vpon him, lett hym put hys trust in the name of the Lorde, and holde him by his God. But take hede, &rhand; ye all kyndle a fyre of the wrath of God, and stere vp the coales: walke on in the glistering of your awne fyre ∧ in þe; coales þt; ye haue kindled. This cometh vnto you fro my h&abar;de, namely that ye shall slepe in sorowe.
