  • 1. Call now, if there be any that wil answere thee, and to which of the Saints wilt thou turne?
  • 2. For wrath killeth the foolish man, and enuy slayeth the silly one.
  • 3. I haue seene the foolish taking roote: but suddenly I cursed his habitation.
  • 4. His children are farre from safetie, and they are crushed in the gate, neither is there any to deliuer them.
  • 5. Whose haruest the hungry eateth vp, and taketh it euen out of the thorns, and the robber swalloweth vp their substance.
  • 6. Although affliction commeth not forth of the dust, neither doeth trouble spring out of the ground:
  • 7. Yet man is borne vnto trouble, as the sparkes flie vpward.
  • 8. I would seeke vnto God, and vnto God would I commit my cause:
  • 9. Which doth great things & vnsearchable: marueilous things without number.
  • 10. Who giueth raine vpon the earth, and sendeth waters vpon the fields:
  • 11. To set vp on high those that be low; that those which mourne, may be exalted to safetie.
  • 12. Hee disappointeth the deuices of the craftie, so that their hands cannot performe their enterprise.
  • 13. He taketh the wise in their owne craftinesse: and the counsell of the froward is caried headlong.
  • 14. They meete with darkenesse in the day time, and grope in the noone day as in the night.
  • 15. But he saueth the poore from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mightie.
  • 16. So the poore hath hope, and iniquitie stoppeth her mouth.
  • 17. Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almightie.
  • 18. For he maketh sore, and bindeth vp: he woundeth, and his hands make whole.
  • 19. Hee shall deliuer thee in sixe troubles, yea in seuen there shall no euill touch thee.
  • 20. In famine he shall redeeme thee from death: and in warre from the power of the sword.
  • 21. Thou shalt be hidde from the scourge of the tongue: neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction, when it commeth.
  • 22. At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.
  • 23. For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field: and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.
  • 24. And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle shall bee in peace; and thou shalt visite thy habitation, and shalt not sinne.
  • 25. Thou shalt know also that thy seede shalbe great, and thine offspring as the grasse of the earth.
  • 26. Thou shalt come to thy graue in a full age, like as a shocke of corne commeth in, in his season.
  • 27. Loe this, wee haue searched it, so it is; heare it, and know thou it for thy good.
