| 1 | Also Helyu addide, and spak these thingis, |
| 2 | Suffre thou me a litil, and Y schal schewe to thee; for yit Y haue that, that Y schal speke for God. |
| 3 | Y schal reherse my kunnyng fro the bigynnyng; and Y schal preue my worchere iust. |
| 4 | For verili my wordis ben with out leesyng, and perfit kunnyng schal be preued to thee. |
| 5 | God castith not awei myyti men, sithen he is myyti; |
| 6 | but he saueth not wickid men, and he yyueth dom to pore men. |
| 7 | He takith not awei hise iyen fro a iust man; and he settith kyngis in seete with out ende, and thei ben reisid there. |
| 8 | And if thei ben in chaynes, and ben boundun with the roopis of pouert, |
| 9 | he schal shewe to hem her werkis, and her grete trespassis; for thei weren violent, `ethir rauenours. |
| 10 | Also he schal opene her eere, that he chastise; and he schal speke, that thei turne ayen fro wickidnesse. |
| 11 | If thei heren, and kepen, thei schulen fille her daies in good, and her yeris in glorie. |
| 12 | Sotheli if thei heren not, thei schulen passe bi swerd, and thei schulen be wastid in foli. |
| 13 | Feyneris and false men stiren the ire of God; and thei schulen not crye, whanne thei ben boundun. |
| 14 | The soule of hem schal die in tempest; and the lijf of hem among `men of wymmens condiciouns. |
| 15 | He schal delyuere a pore man fro his angwisch; and he schal opene `the eere of hym in tribulacioun. |
| 16 | Therfor he schal saue thee fro the streit mouth of the broddeste tribulacioun, and not hauynge a foundement vndur it; sotheli the rest of thi table schal be ful of fatnesse. |
| 17 | Thi cause is demed as the cause of a wickid man; forsothe thou schalt resseyue thi cause and doom. |
| 18 | Therfor ire ouercome thee not, that thou oppresse ony man; and the multitude of yiftis bowe thee not. |
| 19 | Putte doun thi greetnesse with out tribulacioun, and putte doun alle stronge men bi strengthe. |
| 20 | Dilaie thou not nyyt, that puplis stie for hem. |
| 21 | Be thou war, that thou bowe not to wickidnesse; for thou hast bigunne to sue this wickidnesse aftir wretchidnesse. |
| 22 | Lo! God is hiy in his strengthe, and noon is lijk hym among the yyueris of lawe. |
| 23 | Who mai seke out the weies of God? ethir who dar seie to hym, Thou hast wrouyt wickidnesse? |
| 24 | Haue thou mynde, that thou knowist not his werk, of whom men sungun. |
| 25 | Alle men seen God; ech man biholdith afer. |
| 26 | Lo! God is greet, ouercomynge oure kunnyng; the noumbre of hise yeeris is with out noumbre. |
| 27 | Which takith awei the dropis of reyn; and schedith out reynes at the licnesse of floodyatis, |
| 28 | whiche comen doun of the cloudis, that hilen alle thingis aboue. |
| 29 | If he wole stretche forthe cloudis as his tente, |
| 30 | and leite with his liyt fro aboue, he schal hile, yhe, |
| 31 | the herris of the see. For bi these thingis he demeth puplis, and yyueth mete to many deedli men. |
