Job - Chapter: 9


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	Then Iob answered, and sayd,
9:2	I knowe verily that it is so: for howe should man compared vnto God, be iustified?
9:3	If I would dispute with him, hee could not answere him one thing of a thousand.
9:4	He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath bene fierce against him and hath prospered?
9:5	He remoueth the mountaines, and they feele not when he ouerthroweth them in his wrath.
9:6	Hee remooueth the earth out of her place, that the pillars thereof doe shake.
9:7	He commandeth the sunne, and it riseth not: hee closeth vp the starres, as vnder a signet.
9:8	Hee himselfe alone spreadeth out the heauens, and walketh vpon the height of the sea.
9:9	He maketh the starres Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the climates of the South.
9:10	He doeth great things, and vnsearcheable: yea, marueilous things without nomber.
9:11	Lo, when he goeth by me, I see him not: and when he passeth by, I perceiue him not.
9:12	Behold, when he taketh a pray, who can make him to restore it? who shall say vnto him, What doest thou?
9:13	God will not withdrawe his anger, and the most mightie helpes doe stoupe vnder him.
9:14	Howe much lesse shall I answere him? or howe should I finde out my words with him?
9:15	For though I were iust, yet could I not answere, but I would make supplication to my Iudge.
9:16	If I cry, and he answere me, yet woulde I not beleeue, that he heard my voyce.
9:17	For he destroyeth mee with a tempest, and woundeth me without cause.
9:18	He wil not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitternesse.
9:19	If we speake of strength, behold, he is strog: if we speake of iudgement, who shall bring me in to pleade?
9:20	If I woulde iustifie my selfe, mine owne mouth shall condemne mee: if I would be perfite, he shall iudge me wicked.
9:21	Though I were perfite, yet I knowe not my soule: therefore abhorre I my life.
9:22	This is one point: therefore I said, Hee destroyeth the perfite and the wicked.
9:23	If the scourge should suddenly slay, should God laugh at the punishment of the innocent?
9:24	The earth is giuen into the hand of ye wicked: he couereth the faces of the iudges therof: if not, where is he? or who is he?
9:25	My dayes haue bene more swift then a post: they haue fled, and haue seene no good thing.
9:26	They are passed as with the most swift ships, and as the eagle that flyeth to the pray.
9:27	If I say, I wil forget my complaynt, I will cease from my wrath, and comfort mee,
9:28	Then I am afrayd of all my sorowes, knowing that thou wilt not iudge me innocent.
9:29	If I be wicked, why labour I thus in vaine?
9:30	If I wash my selfe with snowe water, and purge mine hands most cleane,
9:31	Yet shalt thou plunge mee in the pit, and mine owne clothes shall make me filthie.
9:32	For he is not a man as I am, that I shoulde answere him, if we come together to iudgement.
9:33	Neyther is there any vmpire that might lay his hand vpon vs both.
9:34	Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his feare astonish me:
9:35	Then will I speake, and feare him not: but because I am not so, I holde me still.
