Chap. XVI.
Iob moued by his importune freindes, 4. expostulateth their seueritie, 12. further
describeth his afflictions, and appealeth to Gods iudgement, that he
suffereth more then his sinnes deserue.
1 Bvt Iob answering sayd:
2 I haue heard often times such
things, note heauie conforters you are al.
3 Shal wordes ful
of winde haue an end? or is anie thing trublesome to thee,
if thou speake?
4 I also could speake thinges like to you: and
would God your soule were for my soule.
5 I also would confort
you with wordes, and would wag my head vpon you.
6 I would strengthen you with my mouth, and would moue
my lippes, as sparing you.
7 But what shal I doe? If I speake,
my paine wil not rest: and if I hold my peace, it wil not depart
from me.
8 But now my sorow hath oppressed me, and al my
limmes are brought to nothing.
9 My wrinkles giue testimonie
against me, and note a false speaker is raysed vp against my
face contradicting me.
10 He hath gathered his furie vpon me,
and threatening me hath gnashed against me with his teeth,
mine enemy hath beheld me with terrible eies.
11 They haue
opened their mouthes vpon me, and exprobating haue strooken
my cheke, they are filled with my paines.
12 God hath
shut me vp with the wicked man, and hath deliuered me to
the hands of the impious.
13 I sometime that welthie one sodenly
am broken: he hath held my necke, broken me, and
set me to himself as it were a marke.
14 He hath compassed me
with his speares, he hath wounded my loynes, he hath not
spared, and hath powred out on the earth my bowels.
15 He
hath cut me with wound vpon wound, he hath come violently
vpon me as it were a giant.
16 I haue sowed sackcloth
vpon my skinne, and haue couered my flesh with ashes.
17 My face is swollen with weeping, and my eyeliddes are
dimme.
18 These thinges haue I suffred note without the iniquitie
of my hand, wheras I had cleane prayers to God.
19 Earth
couer not my bloud, neither let my crie find place in thee to
be hid.
20 For behold my witnesse is in heauen, and he that
knoweth my conscience on high.
21 My freindes ful of wordes:
mine eie distilleth vnto God.
22 And would God a man
might so be iudged with God, as the sonne of man is iudged
with his companion.
23 For behold the short yeares passe away,
and I walke the path, by the which I shal not returne.
