¹ Bvt Iob answered and sayd,² Though my talke be this day in bitternes, and my plague greater then my groning,³ Would God yet I knew how to finde him, I would enter vnto his place.⁴ I would pleade the cause before him, & fill my mouth with arguments.⁵ I would knowe the wordes, that he would answere me, & would vnderstand what he would say vnto me.⁶ Would he plead against me with his great power? No, but he would put strength in me.⁷ There the righteous might reason with him, so I shoulde be deliuered for euer from my Iudge.

⁸ Behold, if I go to the East, he is not there: if to the West, yet I can not perceiue him:⁹ If to the North where he worketh, yet I cannot see him: he wil hide himselfe in the South, and I cannot beholde him.¹⁰ But he knoweth my way, & trieth mee, and I shal come forth like the gold.¹¹ My foote hath followed his steps: his way haue I kept, and haue not declined.¹² Neyther haue I departed from the commandement of his lippes, and I haue esteemed the words of his mouth more then mine appointed foode.

¹³ Yet he is in one minde, & who can turne him? yea, he doeth what his minde desireth.¹⁴ For he will performe that, which is decreed of me, and many such things are with him.¹⁵ Therefore I am troubled at his presence, & in considering it, I am afraid of him.¹⁶ For God hath softened mine heart, & the Almightie hath troubled me.¹⁷ For I am not cut off in darknesse, but he hath hid the darkenesse from my face.
