| 1 | Sotheli Joob answeride, and seide, |
| 2 | Therfor ben ye men aloone, that wisdom dwelle with you? |
| 3 | And to me is an herte, as and to you, and Y am not lowere than ye; for who knowith not these thingis, whiche ye knowen? |
| 4 | He that is scorned of his frend, as Y am, schal inwardli clepe God, and God schal here hym; for the symplenesse of a iust man is scorned. |
| 5 | A laumpe is dispisid at the thouytis of riche men, and the laumpe is maad redi to a tyme ordeyned. |
| 6 | The tabernaclis of robberis ben plenteuouse, `ether ful of goodis; and boldli thei terren God to wraththe, whanne he hath youe alle thingis in to her hondis. |
| 7 | No wondur, ax thou beestis, and tho schulen teche thee; and axe thou volatilis of the eir, and tho schulen schewe to thee. |
| 8 | Speke thou to the erthe, and it schal answere thee; and the fischis of the see schulen telle tho thingis. |
| 9 | Who knowith not that the hond of the Lord made alle these thingis? |
| 10 | In whos hond the soule is of ech lyuynge thing, and the spirit, `that is, resonable soule, of ech fleisch of man. |
| 11 | Whether the eere demeth not wordis, and the chekis of the etere demen sauour? |
| 12 | Wisdom is in elde men, and prudence is in myche tyme. |
| 13 | Wisdom and strengthe is at God; he hath counsel and vndurstondyng. |
| 14 | If he distrieth, no man is that bildith; if he schittith in a man, `noon is that openith. |
| 15 | If he holdith togidere watris, alle thingis schulen be maad drie; if he sendith out tho watris, tho schulen distrie the erthe. |
| 16 | Strengthe and wisdom is at God; he knowith bothe hym that disseyueth and hym that is disseyued. |
| 17 | And he bryngith conselours in to a fonned eende, and iugis in to wondryng, ethir astonying. |
| 18 | He vnbindith the girdil of kyngis, and girdith her reynes with a coorde. |
| 19 | He ledith her prestis with out glorie, and he disseyueth the principal men, `ethir counselours; |
| 20 | and he chaungith the lippis of sothefast men, and takith awei the doctrine of elde men. |
| 21 | He schedith out dispisyng on princes, and releeueth hem, that weren oppressid. |
| 22 | Which schewith depe thingis fro derknessis; and bryngith forth in to liyt the schadewe of deeth. |
| 23 | Which multiplieth folkis, and leesith hem, and restorith hem destried in to the hool. |
| 24 | Which chaungith the herte of princes of the puple of erthe; and disseyueth hem, that thei go in veyn out of the weie. |
| 25 | Thei schulen grope, as in derknessis, and not in liyt; and he schal make hem to erre as drunken men. |
