Chap. VI.
Iob answereth the obiections of Eliphaz, shewing that in deede the calamitie
which he suffereth is much greatter than his sinnes deserue; and therfore
his lamentation is excusable. 8. wisheth (if it so please God) that he may dye.
13. complaneth that his freindes are become his aduersertes, 16. grauely expostulateth
that they reprehend him, 12. and helpe him not.
1 Bvt Iob answering, sayd:
2 noteWould God my sinnes were
weyed, wherby I haue deserued wrath, and the calamitie,
which I suffer in a balance.
3 09Q0201As the sand of the sea this
would appeare heauier, wherfore my wordes also are ful of
sorrow:
4 Because the arrowes of our Lord be in me, the
indignation whereof drinketh vp my spirit, and the terrours
of our Lord warre agaynst me.
5 Wil the wilde asse roare
when he hath grasse? or the oxe loweth when he shal stand
before the ful manger.
6 Or can an vnsauerie thing be eaten,
that is not seasoned with salt? or can a man tast that which
being tasted bringeth death?
7 The thinges which before
my soule would not touch, now for anguish are my meates.
8 Who wil graunt that my petition may come: and that
God would geue me that which I expect?
9 And he that hath
begune, the same would loose his hand, and cut me of?
10 And
this might be my comfort, that afflicting me with sorrow, he
-- --
spare not, nor gaynesay09Q0202 the wordes of the Holie one.
11 For
What is my strength, that I can susteyne it? or what is mine
end, that I should doe patiently.
12 Neither is my strength
the strength of stones, neither is my flesh of brasse.
13 Behold
there is no help for me in my self, and my familiar freindes
also are departed from me.
14 He that taketh away mercie
from his frend, forsaketh the feare of our Lord.
15 My brethren
haue passed by me, as the torrent that passeth swiftly in the
valleys.
16 They that feare the hoarefrost, snow shal fal vpon
them.
17 At the time, when they shal be dissipated they shal
perish: and after they waxe hore they shal be dissolued out of
their place.
18 The pathes of their steppes are intangled: they
shal walke in vayne, and shal perish.
19 Consider ye the pathes
note of Thema, the wayes of Saba, & expect a litle while.
20 They
are confounded, because I haue hoped: they are come also
euen vnto me, and are couered with shame.
21 Now you
are come: and euen now seing my plague you are afrayd.
22 haue I sayd: Bring ye to me, and of your substance geue to
me?
23 Or deliuer me from the hand of the enemie, and out
of the hand of the strong deliuer me?
24 noteTeach ye me, and I
wil hold my peace: and if I perhaps haue beene ignorant in
anie thing, instruct ye me.
25 Why haue you detracted from
the wordes of truth, whereas there is none of you that can
controwle me?
26 To rebuke only you frame speaches, and
you vtter wordes in the wind
27 You rush in vpon a pupil, and
you endeuoure to ouerthrow your frend.
28 Not withstanding
accomplish that which you haue begune: geue eare, and see
whether I lie.
29 Answer I besech you without contention:
and speaking that which is iust, iudge ye.
30 And you shal not
finde iniquitie in my tongue, neither shal folie sound in my
iawes.
