| 1 | Lo! myn iye siy alle thingis, and myn eere herde; and Y vndurstood alle thingis. |
| 2 | Euene with youre kunnyng also Y kan, and Y am not lowere than ye. |
| 3 | But netheles Y schal speke to Almyyti God, and Y coueite to dispute with God; |
| 4 | and firste Y schewe you makeris of leesyng, and louyeris of weyward techyngis. |
| 5 | And `Y wolde that ye weren stille, that ye weren gessid to be wise men. |
| 6 | Therfor here ye my chastisyngis; and perseyue ye the doom of my lippis. |
| 7 | Whether God hath nede to youre leesyng, that ye speke gilis for hym? |
| 8 | Whether ye taken his face, and enforsen to deme for God? |
| 9 | Ethir it schal plese hym, fro whom no thing mai be hid? Whether he as a man schal be disseyued with youre falsnessis? |
| 10 | He schal repreue you; for ye taken his face in hiddlis. |
| 11 | Anoon as he schal stire hym, he schal disturble you; and his drede schal falle on you. |
| 12 | Youre mynde schal be comparisound to aische; and youre nollis schulen be dryuun in to clei. |
| 13 | Be ye stille a litil, that Y speke, what euer thing the mynde hath schewid to me. |
| 14 | Whi to-rende Y my fleischis with my teeth, and bere my lijf in myn hondis? |
| 15 | Yhe, thouy God sleeth me, Y schal hope in hym; netheles Y schal preue my weies in his siyt. |
| 16 | And he schal be my sauyour; for whi ech ypocrite schal not come in his siyt. |
| 17 | Here ye my word, and perseyue ye with eeris derke and harde figuratif spechis. |
| 18 | Yf Y schal be demed, Y woot that Y schal be foundun iust. |
| 19 | Who is he that is demed with me? Come he; whi am Y stille, and am wastid? |
| 20 | Do thou not to me twei thingis oneli; and thanne Y schal not be hid fro thi face. |
| 21 | Make thin hond fer fro me; and thi drede make not me aferd. |
| 22 | Clepe thou me, and Y schal answere thee; ethir certis Y schal speke, and thou schalt answere me. |
| 23 | Hou grete synnes and wickidnessis haue Y? Schewe thou to me my felonyes, and trespassis. |
| 24 | Whi hidist thou thi face, and demest me thin enemy? |
| 25 | Thou schewist thi myyt ayens a leef, which is rauyschid with the wynd; and thou pursuest drye stobil. |
| 26 | For thou writist bitternessis ayens me; and wolt waste me with the synnes of my yong wexynge age. |
| 27 | Thou hast set my foot in a stok, and thou hast kept alle my pathis; and thou hast biholde the steppis of my feet. |
| 28 | And Y schal be wastid as rot, and as a cloth, which is etun of a mouyte. |
