Job - Chapter: 9


9:1	Iob answered, & sayde:
9:2	I know it is so of a treuthe: For how maye a man (compared vnto God) be iustifyed?
9:3	If he will argue with him, he shall not be able to answere hym vnto one amonge a thousande.
9:4	Concernynge soch as be wyse of herte, or myghtye in strength, who euer prospered, that toke part against hym?
9:5	He translateth the mountaynes, or euer they be aware. It is he that ouerthroweth them in hys wrath.
9:6	He remoueth the earthe oute of her place, that the pylers therof shake with all.
9:7	He commaundeth the sonne, and it riseth not: he closeth vp the starres, as it were vnder a sygnett.
9:8	He him self alone spredeth out the heauens, and goeth vpon the waues of the see.
9:9	He maketh the waynes of heauen the Orion the seuen starres, and the secrete places of the south.
9:10	He doth greate thynges, soch as are vnsearcheable, yee, and wonders withoute nombre.
9:11	Lo, whan he goeth ouer by me, I shall not se hym. And whan he departeth, by me, I shall not loke vpon hym. I shall not perceaue hym.
9:12	If he be hasty to take eny thynge awaye, who wyll make him restore it agayne? Or who wyll saye vnto hym what doest thou?
9:13	He is God, whose wrath no man maye withstande: but the proudest of all must stoupe vnder hym.
9:14	How shulde I then answere hym? Or what wordes shulde I fynde oute agaynst hym?
9:15	Yee, though I were ryghteous, yet myght I not geue hym one worde agayne, but mekely submytte my self to hym as my iudge.
9:16	Yf I had called vpon hym, and he had answered me: yet wold I not beleue, that he herd my voyce:
9:17	he troubleth me so with the tempest, and woundeth me out of measure without a cause.
9:18	He wyll not lett my sprete be in rest, but fylleth me wt bytternesse.
9:19	If men wyll speake of strength, lo, he is stronge: yf men wyll speake of ryghteousnes, who darre be my recorde.
9:20	If I wyll iustifye my selfe, my awne mouth shall condempne me: yf I wyll put forth my selfe for a perfecte man, he shall proue me a wycked doer.
9:21	For though I be an innocent, and my conscience cleare, yet am I weery of my lyfe
9:22	One thyng it is and therfore I sayed. He destroyeth both the righteous and vngodly.
9:23	And though he staye sodenly with the scourge, yet wyll he laugh at the punyshement of the innocent.
9:24	As for the worlde, it is geuen ouer into the hand of the wicked, and he shal couer the faces of the iudges therof. Is it not so? where is there eny, but he is soch one?
9:25	My dayes are more swyfte then a runner: they are gone & haue sene no good thing.
9:26	They are passed awaye, as the shyppes that be good vnder sayle, and as the aegle that flieth to the praye.
9:27	When I am purposed to forget my complayning, to leaue of fro my wrath, and to comforte my selfe,
9:28	then am I afrayed of all my sorowes, for I knowe, that thou wylt not iudge me innocent.
9:29	If I be then a wicked doer, why laboure I in vayne?
9:30	If I washe my selfe with snowe water, and make myne handes neuer so cleane, at the wel,
9:31	yet shalt thou dyppe me in the myer: and myne awne clothes shall defyle me.
9:32	For he that I must geue answere vnto, and with whom I go to lawe, is not a man as I am.
9:33	Nether is there eny dayesman to laye hys hande betwene vs.
9:34	Lett hym take hys rod awaye fro me, yee, lett him make me nomore afrayed of him,
9:35	and then shall I answere him without eny feare. For as longe as it is thus, I can make no answere.


9:1	Joob answeride, and seide, Verili Y woot, that it is so,
9:2	and that a man comparisound to God schal not be maad iust.
9:3	If he wole stryue with God, he may not answere to God oon for a thousynde.
9:4	He is wiys in herte, and strong in myyt; who ayenstood hym, and hadde pees?
9:5	Which bar hillis fro o place to anothir, and thei wisten not; whiche he distriede in his strong veniaunce.
9:6	Which stirith the erthe fro his place, and the pilers therof schulen `be schakun togidere.
9:7	Which comaundith to the sunne, and it risith not; and he closith the sterris, as vndur a signet.
9:8	Which aloone stretchith forth heuenes, and goith on the wawis of the see.
9:9	Which makith Ariture, and Orionas, and Hiadas, `that is, seuene sterris, and the innere thingis of the south.
9:10	Which makith grete thingis, and that moun not be souyt out, and wondurful thingis, of whiche is noon noumbre.
9:11	If he cometh to me, `that is, bi his grace, Y schal not se hym; if he goith awey, `that is, in withdrawynge his grace, Y schal not vndurstonde.
9:12	If he axith sodeynli, who schal answere to hym? ethir who may seie to hym, Whi doist thou so?
9:13	`God is he, whos wraththe no man may withstonde; and vndur whom thei ben bowid, that beren the world.
9:14	Hou greet am Y, that Y answere to hym, and speke bi my wordis with hym?
9:15	Which also schal not answere, thouy Y haue ony thing iust; but Y schal biseche my iuge.
9:16	And whanne he hath herd me inwardli clepynge, Y bileue not, that he hath herd my vois.
9:17	For in a whirlewynd he schal al to-breke me, and he schal multiplie my woundis, yhe, without cause.
9:18	He grauntith not, that my spirit haue reste, and he fillith me with bittirnesses.
9:19	If strengthe is souyt, `he is moost strong; if equyte of doom is souyt, no man dar yelde witnessynge for me.
9:20	If Y wole make me iust, my mouth schal dampne me; if Y schal schewe me innocent, he schal preue me a schrewe.
9:21	Yhe, thouy Y am symple, my soule schal not knowe this same thing; and it schal anoye me of my lijf.
9:22	O thing is, which Y spak, he schal waste `bi deth also the innocent and wickid man.
9:23	If he betith, sle he onys, and leiye he not of the peynes of innocent men.
9:24	The erthe is youun in to the hondis of the wickid; he hilith the face of iugis; that if he is not, who therfor is?
9:25	Mi daies weren swiftere than a corour; thei fledden, and sien not good.
9:26	Thei passiden as schippis berynge applis, as an egle fleynge to mete.
9:27	Whanne Y seie, Y schal not speke so; Y chaunge my face, and Y am turmentid with sorewe.
9:28	Y drede alle my werkis, witynge that thou `woldist not spare the trespassour.
9:29	Sotheli if Y am also thus wickid, whi haue Y trauelid in veyn?
9:30	Thouy Y am waischun as with watris of snow, and thouy myn hondis schynen as moost cleene,
9:31	netheles thou schalt dippe me in filthis, and my clothis, `that is, werkis, schulen holde me abhomynable.
9:32	Trewli Y schal not answere a man, which is lijk me; nether that may be herd euenli with me in doom.
9:33	`Noon is, that may repreue euer eithir, and sette his hond in bothe.
9:34	Do he awei his yerde fro me, and his drede make not me aferd.
9:35	Y schal speke, and Y schal not drede hym; for Y may not answere dredynge.


9:1	Iob answered, and sayde:
9:2	As for yt I knowe it is so of a treuth, yt a man compared vnto God, can not be iustified.
9:3	Yf he wil argue with him, he shall not be able to answere him vnto one amonge a thousande.
9:4	He is wyse of hert, and mightie in strength. Who euer prospered, that toke parte agaynst him?
9:5	He translateth the moutaynes, or euer they be awarre, & ouerthroweth them in his wrath.
9:6	He remoueth the earth out of hir place, that hir pilers shake withall.
9:7	He commaundeth the Sone, & it ryseth not: he closeth vp the starres, as it were vnder a signet.
9:8	He himself alone spredeth out ye heauens, and goeth vpon the wawes of the see.
9:9	He maketh the waynes of heauen, the Orions, the vij. starres and the secrete places of the south.
9:10	He doth greate thinges, soch as are vnsearcheable, yee and wonders without nombre.
9:11	Yf he came by me, I might not loke vpo him: yf he wente his waye, I shulde not perceaue it.
9:12	Yf he be haisty to take eny thinge awaye, who wil make him restore it agayne? Who wil saye vnto him: what doest thou?
9:13	He is God, whose wrath no man maye with stode: but the proudest of all must stoupe vnder him.
9:14	How shulde I then answere him? or, what wordes shulde I fynde out agaynst him?
9:15	Yee though I be rightuous, yet will I not geue him one worde agayne, but mekely submytte my self to my iudge.
9:16	All be it that I call vpon him, and he heare me, yet am I not sure, yt he hath herde my voyce:
9:17	he troubleth me so with the tempest, and woundeth me out of measure without a cause.
9:18	He will not let my sprete be in rest, but fylleth me wt bytternesse.
9:19	Yf men will speake of strength, he is the stogest of all: yf me will speake of rightousnes, who darre be my recorde?
9:20	yf I will iustifie my self, myne owne mouth shall codemne me: yf I will put forth my self for a perfecte man, he shal proue me a wicked doer:
9:21	For that I shulde be an innocent, my coscience knoweth it not, yee I my self am weery off my life.
9:22	This one thige wil I saye: He destroyeth both the rightuous & vngodly.
9:23	And though he slaye sodenly wt the scourge, yet laugheth he at the punyshment of the innocent.
9:24	As for the worlde, he geueth it ouer in to the power of the wicked, soch as the rulers be, wherof all londes are full. Is it not so? where is there eny, but he is soch one?
9:25	My dayes haue bene more swifte, then a runner: they are gone sodenly, and haue sene no good thinge.
9:26	They are passed awaye, as the shippes that be good vnder sale, and as the Aegle that haisteth to the pray.
9:27	When I am purposed to forget my complayninges to chaunge my countenaunce, and to coforte my self:
9:28	then am I afrayed of all my workes, for I knowe, thou fauourest not an euell doer.
9:29	Yf I be then a wicked one, why haue I laboured in vayne?
9:30	Though I wasshed my self with snowe water, and made myne hondes neuer so clene,
9:31	yet shuldest thou dyppe me in ye myre, & myne owne clothes shulde defyle me.
9:32	For he yt I must geue answere vnto, and with whom I go to lawe, is not a man as I am.
9:33	Nether is there eny dayes man to reproue both the partes, or to laye his hode betwixte vs.
9:34	Let him take his rod awaye fro me, yee let him make me nomore afrayed of him,
9:35	and then shal I answere him without eny feare. For as longe as I am in soch fearfulnesse, I can make no answere: And why?
