| 1 | Wherefore, Iob, I pray thee, heare my speeches, and hearken to all my wordes. |
| 2 | Behold, now I haue opened my mouth, my tongue hath spoken in my mouth. |
| 3 | My words shalbe of the vprightnesse of my heart: and my lippes shall vtter knowledge clearely. |
| 4 | The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almightie hath giuen me life. |
| 5 | If thou canst, answere me, set thy wordes in order before me, stand vp. |
| 6 | Behold, I am according to thy wish in Gods stead: I also am formed out of the clay. |
| 7 | Behold, my terrour shall not make thee afraid, neither shall my hand be heauie vpon thee. |
| 8 | Surely thou hast spoken in mine hearing, and I haue heard the voice of thy words, saying, |
| 9 | I am cleane without transgression, I am innocent; neither is there iniquitie in me. |
| 10 | Behold, hee findeth occasions against mee, hee counteth mee for his enemie. |
| 11 | He putteth my feete in the stockes, he marketh all my pathes. |
| 12 | Behold, in this thou art not iust: I will answere thee, That God is greater then man. |
| 13 | Why doest thou striue against him? for he giueth not account of any of his matters. |
| 14 | For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiueth it not. |
| 15 | In a dreame, in a vision of the night, when deepe sleepe falleth vpon men, in slumbrings vpon the bed: |
| 16 | Then hee openeth the eares of men, and sealeth their instruction, |
| 17 | That hee may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man. |
| 18 | Hee keepeth backe his soule from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword. |
| 19 | Hee is chastened also with paine vpon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong paine. |
| 20 | So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soule daintie meate. |
| 21 | His flesh is consumed away that it cannot be seene; and his bones that were not seene, sticke out. |
| 22 | His soule draweth neere vnto the graue, and his life to the destroyers. |
| 23 | If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew vnto man his vprightnesse: |
| 24 | Then hee is gracious vnto him, and sayth, Deliuer him from going downe to the pit; I haue found a ransome. |
| 25 | His flesh shall be fresher then a childes: he shall returne to the dayes of his youth. |
| 26 | He shall pray vnto God, and hee will be fauourable vnto him, and hee shall see his face with ioy: for hee will render vnto man his righteousnesse. |
| 27 | He looketh vpon men, and if any say, I haue sinned, and peruerted that which was right, and it profited mee not: |
| 28 | Hee will deliuer his soule from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light. |
| 29 | Loe, all these things worketh God oftentimes with man, |
| 30 | To bring backe his soule from the pit, to be enlightened with the light of the liuing. |
| 31 | Marke well, O Iob, hearken vnto me, hold thy peace, and I wil speake. |
| 32 | If thou hast any thing to say, answere me: speake, for I desire to iustifie thee. |
| 33 | If not, hearken vnto me: holde thy peace, and I shall teach thee wisedome. |
