Chap. XII.
Iob sheweth the knowlege, which his freinds much boast of, to be the common
knowne doctrin of Gods seruantes. He more truly, and more profoundly
discourseth of Gods powre and wisdome, stil defending his owne
innocencie in respect of great sinnes.
1 Bvt Iob answering, sayd:
2 Are you then men alone, & shal
wisedome die with you?
3 I also haue a hart euen as you,
neither am I inferiour to you: for who is ignor&abar;t of these thinges,
which you know?
4 He that is mocked of his frend as I,
shal inuocate God & he wil heare him: for the note simplicitie of
the iust man is scorned.
5 The lampe contemned in the cogitations
of the riche, is prepared to the time appointed.
6 The
tabernacles of robbers abound, & they prouoke God bouldly,
wheras he hath geuen al thinges into their handes.
7 For aske
the beastes, and they shal teach thee: and the foules of the
ayre, and they shal tel thee.
8 Speake to the earth, and it shal
answer thee, and the fishes of the sea shal tel.
9 Who is ignorant
that the hand of our Lord hath made al these things?
10 In
whose hand is the soule of euerie liuing thing, and the spirit
of al the flesh of man.
11 Doth not the eare discerne wordes,
and the iawes of him that eateth, the rast?
12 In the ancientes
is wisedom, and in long time prudence.
13 With him is wisedom
and strength, he hath counsel and vnderstanding.
14 If he
shal destroy, there is no man that can build: if he shut vp a
-- --
man, there is none that can open.
15 If he hold in the waters,
al things shal be dried: and if he send them forth, they shal
ouerthrow the earth.
16 With him is strength and wisedom:
he knoweth both the deceiuer, & him that is deceiued.
17 He
bringeth note counselers to a folish end, and iudges to astonishment.
18 He looseth the belt of kings, and girdeth their
reines with a corde.
19 He leadeth away Priestes without glorie,
and supplanteth the great men.
20 Changing the lippe of
the true, and taking away the doctrine of the ancientes.
21 He
powreth out contempt vpon princes, releeuing them that
had bene oppressed.
22 Who reueleth profound things out of
darkenesse, and bringeth forth the shadow of death into
light.
23 Who multiplieth nations, and destroyeth them, and
restoreth the destroyed whole agayne.
24 Who changeth the
hart of the princes of the people of the earth, and deceiueth
them, that they may goe in vayne where is no passage.
25 They
shal grope as in the darke, and not in the light, and he shal
make them goe amis as druncken men.
