| 1 | Also Joob addide, takynge his parable, and seide, |
| 2 | God lyueth, that hath take awey my doom, and Almyyti God, that hath brouyt my soule to bitternesse. |
| 3 | For as long as breeth is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nose thirlis, |
| 4 | my lippis schulen not speke wickidnesse, nether my tunge schal thenke a leesyng. |
| 5 | Fer be it fro me, that Y deme you iust; til Y faile, Y schal not go awei fro myn innocence. |
| 6 | Y schal not forsake my iustifiyng, which Y bigan to holde; for myn herte repreueth me not in al my lijf. |
| 7 | As my wickid enemy doth; myn aduersarie is as wickid. |
| 8 | For what is the hope of an ypocrite, if he rauyschith gredili, and God delyuerith not his soule? |
| 9 | Whether God schal here the cry of hym, whanne angwisch schal come on hym? |
| 10 | ether whether he may delite in Almyyti God, and inwardli clepe God in al tyme? |
| 11 | Y schal teche you bi the hond of God, what thingis Almyyti God hath; and Y schal not hide. |
| 12 | Lo! alle ye knowen, and what speken ye veyn thingis with out cause? |
| 13 | This is the part of a wickid man anentis God, and the eritage of violent men, ether rauenours, whiche thei schulen take of Almyyti God. |
| 14 | If hise children ben multiplied, thei schulen be slayn in swerd; and hise sones sones schulen not be fillid with breed. |
| 15 | Thei, that ben residue of hym, schulen be biried in perischyng; and the widewis of hym schulen not wepe. |
| 16 | If he gaderith togidere siluer as erthe, and makith redi clothis as cley; |
| 17 | sotheli he made redi, but a iust man schal be clothid in tho, and an innocent man schal departe the siluer. |
| 18 | As a mouyte he hath bildid his hous, and as a kepere he made a schadewyng place. |
| 19 | A riche man, whanne he schal die, schal bere no thing with hym; he schal opene hise iyen, and he schal fynde no thing. |
| 20 | Pouert as water schal take hym; and tempeste schal oppresse hym in the nyyt. |
| 21 | Brennynge wynd schal take hym, and schal do awei; and as a whirlewynd it schal rauysche hym fro his place. |
| 22 | He schal sende out turmentis on hym, and schal not spare; he fleynge schal `fle fro his hond. |
| 23 | He schal streyne hise hondis on him, and he schal hisse on hym, and schal biholde his place. |
