| 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. |
