Chap. XXIIII.
God in his prouidence knoweth when he wil punish the wicked, which his
true seruantes know not, much lesse the impious.
1 Times are not hid from the Omnipotent: but they note that
know him, know not his daies.
2 Some haue transferred
boundes, spoiled flockes, & fed them.
3 They haue driuen away
theasse of pupilles, & haue taken away the widowes oxe for a
pledge.
4 They haue subuerted the way of the poore, and
haue oppressed together the meeke of the earth.
5 Others as
wilde asses in the deserte goe forth to their worke: watching
to the praye, doe prepare bread for their children.
6 They
reape the filde that is not theirs, and gather the grapes of his
vineyard, whom by violence they haue oppressed.
7 They
send men away naked, taking away their clothes, which haue
no couering in the cold.
8 Whom the showers of the mountaynes
doe wash, and not hauing a couert, they embrace
stones.
9 They did violence spoyling the pupilles, and the
common poore people they spoyled.
10 From the naked and
them that goe without clothing, and the hungrie they haue
taken away the eares of corne.
11 They haue rested the noonetide
among their heapes, which hauing troden the wine
presses are a thirst.
12 Out of the cities they haue made men to
mourne, and the soule of the wounded hath cryed, and God
doth not suffer it to passe vnreuenged:
13 They haue bene note rebellious
to the light, they haue not knowen his wayes, neither
did they returne by his pathes.
14 At the verie breake of
day the murderer ryseth, he killeth the needie, and the poore
-- --
man: but by night he wil be as a theefe.
15 The eie of the aduouterer
obserueth darkenesse, saying: Eie shal not see me:
and he wil couer his face.
16 He diggeth through houses in
the darke, as in the day they had oppoynted with them selues,
and they haue not knowen the light.
17 If sodenly the morning
shal appeare, they thinke it the shadow of death: and
they walke so in darkenesse as it were in light.
18 He is light
aboue the face of the water: cursed be his portion in the
earth, neither walke he by the way of the vineyardes.
19 Let
him passe note from snowe waters to exceding heate, and his
sinne euen vnto hel.
20 Let mercie forget him: wormes his
sweetnes: be he not in remembrance, but be he broken in
peeces as an vnfruitful tree.
21 For he hath fedd the barren,
and her that bareth not, and to the widow he hath not done
good.
22 He hath pulled downe the strong in his strength, and
when he shal stand, he wil not credit his life.
23 God hath
geuen him place for penance, and he note abuseth it vnto pride:
but his eies be vpon his waies.
24 They are eleuated for a litle,
and shal not stand, and shal be humbled as al thinges, and shal
be taken away, and as the toppes of the eares of corne they
shal be broken.
25 And if it be not so, who can reproue me
that I haue lied, and set my wordes before God?
