| 1 | Call now, if there be any that wil answere thee, and to which of the Saints wilt thou turne? |
| 2 | For wrath killeth the foolish man, and enuy slayeth the silly one. |
| 3 | I haue seene the foolish taking roote: but suddenly I cursed his habitation. |
| 4 | His children are farre from safetie, and they are crushed in the gate, neither is there any to deliuer them. |
| 5 | Whose haruest the hungry eateth vp, and taketh it euen out of the thorns, and the robber swalloweth vp their substance. |
| 6 | Although affliction commeth not forth of the dust, neither doeth trouble spring out of the ground: |
| 7 | Yet man is borne vnto trouble, as the sparkes flie vpward. |
| 8 | I would seeke vnto God, and vnto God would I commit my cause: |
| 9 | Which doth great things & vnsearchable: marueilous things without number. |
| 10 | Who giueth raine vpon the earth, and sendeth waters vpon the fields: |
| 11 | To set vp on high those that be low; that those which mourne, may be exalted to safetie. |
| 12 | Hee disappointeth the deuices of the craftie, so that their hands cannot performe their enterprise. |
| 13 | He taketh the wise in their owne craftinesse: and the counsell of the froward is caried headlong. |
| 14 | They meete with darkenesse in the day time, and grope in the noone day as in the night. |
| 15 | But he saueth the poore from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mightie. |
| 16 | So the poore hath hope, and iniquitie stoppeth her mouth. |
| 17 | Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almightie. |
| 18 | For he maketh sore, and bindeth vp: he woundeth, and his hands make whole. |
| 19 | Hee shall deliuer thee in sixe troubles, yea in seuen there shall no euill touch thee. |
| 20 | In famine he shall redeeme thee from death: and in warre from the power of the sword. |
| 21 | Thou shalt be hidde from the scourge of the tongue: neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction, when it commeth. |
| 22 | At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth. |
| 23 | For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field: and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee. |
| 24 | And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle shall bee in peace; and thou shalt visite thy habitation, and shalt not sinne. |
| 25 | Thou shalt know also that thy seede shalbe great, and thine offspring as the grasse of the earth. |
| 26 | Thou shalt come to thy graue in a full age, like as a shocke of corne commeth in, in his season. |
| 27 | Loe this, wee haue searched it, so it is; heare it, and know thou it for thy good. |
