- 1. Then Iob answered, and sayd,
- 2. How long will yee vexe my soule, and breake me in pieces with words?
- 3. These tenne times haue ye reproched me: you are not ashamed that you make your selues strange to me.
- 4. And be it indeed that I haue erred, mine errour remaineth with my selfe.
- 5. If indeed yee will magnifie your selues against me, and plead against me my reproch:
- 6. Know now that God hath ouerthrowen me, and hath compassed me with his net.
- 7. Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloude, but there is no iudgement.
- 8. Hee hath fenced vp my way that I cannot passe; and hee hath set darkenesse in my pathes.
- 9. Hee hath stript me of my glory, and taken the crowne from my head.
- 10. He hath destroyed me on euery side, and I am gone: and mine hope hath he remooued like a tree.
- 11. He hath also kindled his wrath against me, and hee counteth me vnto him as one of his enemies.
- 12. His troupes come together, and raise vp their way against me, and encampe round about my tabernacle.
- 13. Hee hath put my brethren farre from me, and mine acquaintance are verely estranged from me.
- 14. My kinsefolke haue failed, and my familiar friends haue forgotten me.
- 15. They that dwell in mine house, and my maides count me for a stranger: I am an aliant in their sight.
- 16. I called my seruant, and he gaue me no answere: I intreated him with my mouth.
- 17. My breath is strange to my wife, though I entreated for the childrens sake of mine owne body.
- 18. Yea, yong children despised me; I arose, and they spake against me.
- 19. All my inward friends abhorred me: and they whom I loued, are turned against me.
- 20. My bone cleaueth to my skinne, and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skinne of my teeth.
- 21. Haue pity vpon me, haue pitie vpon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me.
- 22. Why doe ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?
- 23. Oh that my wordes were now written, oh that they were printed in a booke!
- 24. That they were grauen with an iron pen and lead, in the rocke for euer.
- 25. For I know that my Redeemer liueth, and that he shall stand at the latter day, vpon the earth:
- 26. And though after my skin, wormes destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:
- 27. Whom I shal see for my selfe, and mine eyes shall beholde, and not another, though my reines bee consumed within me.
- 28. But ye should say, Why persecute we him? seeing the root of the matter is found in me.
- 29. Bee ye afraid of the sword: for wrath bringeth the punishments of the sword, that yee may know there is a iudgement.
