- 1. Bvt Iob answered, and sayd,
- 2. Heare diligently my wordes, and this shalbe in stead of your consolations.
- 3. Suffer mee, that I may speake, and when I haue spoken, mocke on.
- 4. Doe I direct my talke to man? If it were so, how should not my spirit be troubled?
- 5. Marke mee, and be abashed, and lay your hand vpon your mouth.
- 6. Euen when I remember, I am afrayde, and feare taketh hold on my flesh.
- 7. Wherefore do the wicked liue, and waxe olde, and grow in wealth?
- 8. Their seede is established in their sight with them, and their generation before their eyes.
- 9. Their houses are peaceable without feare, and the rod of God is not vpon them.
- 10. Their bullocke gendreth, and fayleth not: their cow calueth, and casteth not her calfe.
- 11. They send forth their children like sheepe, and their sonnes dance.
- 12. They take the tabret & harpe, and reioyce in the sound of the organs.
- 13. They spend their dayes in wealth, and suddenly they go downe to the graue.
- 14. They say also vnto God, Depart fro vs: for we desire not the knowledge of thy wayes.
- 15. Who is the Almightie, that we should serue him? and what profit should we haue, if we should pray vnto him?
- 16. Lo, their wealth is not in their hand: therfore let the counsell of the wicked bee farre from me.
- 17. How oft shal the candle of the wicked be put out? and their destruction come vpon them? he wil deuide their liues in his wrath.
- 18. They shall be as stubble before the winde, and as chaffe that the storme carieth away.
- 19. God wil lay vp the sorowe of the father for his children: when he rewardeth him, hee shall knowe it.
- 20. His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drinke of the wrath of the Almightie.
- 21. For what pleasure hath he in his house after him, when the nomber of his moneths is cut off?
- 22. Shall any teache God knowledge, who iudgeth the hiest things?
- 23. One dyeth in his full strength, being in all ease and prosperitie.
- 24. His breasts are full of milke, and his bones runne full of marowe.
- 25. And another dieth in the bitternes of his soule, and neuer eateth with pleasure.
- 26. They shal sleepe both in the dust, & the wormes shal couer them.
- 27. Behold, I know your thoughts, and the enterprises, wherewith ye do me wrong.
- 28. For ye say, Where is the princes house? & where is the tabernacle of the wickeds dwelling?
- 29. May ye not aske the that go by the way? and ye can not deny their signes.
- 30. But the wicked is kept vnto the day of destruction, and they shall be brought forth to the day of wrath.
- 31. Who shal declare his way to his face? & who shal reward him for that he hath done?
- 32. Yet shal he be brought to the graue, & remaine in the heape.
- 33. The slimie valley shalbe sweete vnto him, and euery man shal draw after him, as before him there were innumerable.
- 34. How then comfort ye me in vaine, seeing in your answeres there remaine but lyes?
