¹ Moreouer Iob proceeded and continued his parable, saying,² The liuing God hath taken away my iudgement: for the Almightie hath put my soule in bitternesse.³ Yet so long as my breath is in me, and the Spirit of God in my nostrels,⁴ My lips surely shall speake no wickednesse, and my tongue shall vtter no deceite.⁵ God forbid, that I should iustifie you: vntill I dye, I will neuer take away mine innocencie from my selfe.⁶ I will keepe my righteousnesse, and wil not forsake it: mine heart shall not reprooue me of my dayes.

⁷ Mine enemie shal be as the wicked, and he that riseth against me, as the vnrighteous.⁸ For what hope hath the hypocrite when he hath heaped vp riches, if God take away his soule?⁹ Will God heare his cry, when trouble commeth vpon him?¹⁰ Will he set his delight on the Almightie? will he call vpon God at all times?

¹¹ I will teache you what is in the hande of God, and I wil not conceale that which is with the Almightie.¹² Beholde, all ye your selues haue seene it: why then doe you thus vanish in vanitie?¹³ This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of tyrants, which they shal receiue of the Almightie.¹⁴ If his children be in great nomber, the sworde shall destroy them, and his posteritie shall not be satisfied with bread.¹⁵ His remnant shall be buried in death, and his widowes shall not weepe.¹⁶ Though he shoulde heape vp siluer as the dust, and prepare rayment as the clay,¹⁷ He may prepare it, but the iust shall put it on, and the innocent shall deuide the siluer.¹⁸ He buildeth his house as the moth, and as a lodge that the watchman maketh.¹⁹ When the rich man sleepeth, he shal not be gathered to his fathers: they opened their eyes, and he was gone.²⁰ Terrours shal take him as waters, & a tempest shall cary him away by night.²¹ The East winde shall take him away, & he shal depart: & it shal hurle him out of his place.²² And God shal cast vpon him and not spare, though he would faine flee out of his hand.²³ Euery man shall clap their hands at him, & hisse at him out of their place.
