Job - Chapter: 15


15:1	Then answered Eliphas the Themanite, and said:
15:2	Shal a wyse mans answer be the scyence of the wynde, and fil any mans Bely as it were with the wynde of the east?
15:3	Shal he reproue wt a word, that is nothyng worth: and speake the thinges, which can do no good?
15:4	As for shame, thou hast sett it asyde, elles woldest thou not make so many wordes before God:
15:5	but thy wyckednesse teacheth thy mouth, and so thou hast chosen the a craftye tonge.
15:6	Thyne awne mouth condempneth the, and not I: yee, thyne awne lyppes shape an answer agaynst the.
15:7	Art thou the fyrste man, that euer was borne? Or, wast thou made before the hylles?
15:8	hast thou hearde the secrete councell of God, that all wysdome is to lytle for the?
15:9	What knowest thou, that we knowe not? And what vnderstandest thou, but we can the same?
15:10	With vs are both olde and aged men, yee, soch as haue lyued longer then thy father.
15:11	Thynckest thou it a small thynge of the consolacyons of God? with the is a lyenge word.
15:12	Why doth thyne hert so be wytch the? And wherfore wynckest thou wyth thyne eyes,
15:13	that thy mynde is so puft vp agaynst God, and lettest soch wordes go oute of thy mouth?
15:14	What is man, that he shulde be cleane? what hath he (which is borne of a woman) wherby he myght be righteous?
15:15	Behold, he doth not trust hys saynctes: yee, the very heauens are not cleane in hys syght.
15:16	Howe moch more then an abhomynable and vyle man, which drincketh wickednesse lyke water?
15:17	I wyll tell the, heare me: and I wyll shewe the that I haue sene:
15:18	which wyse men haue tolde, and hath not bene hyd from their fathers
15:19	vnto whom onely the earthe was geuen, and no straunger went amonge them.
15:20	The vngodly soroweth all the dayes of hys lyfe as it were a woman with a childe, and the nombre of a tyrauntes yeares is vnknowne.
15:21	A fearfull sounde is euer in hys eares, and when it is peace, yet feareth he destruccyon.
15:22	He beleueth neuer to be delyuered oute of darckenes, for the swearde is alwaye before hys eyes.
15:23	When he goeth forth to get his lyuying, he seeth plainely, that the daye of darcknesse is at hande.
15:24	Sorowe and carefulnesse wyll make hym afrayed, and compasse hym rounde aboute, lyke as it were a kynge with hys hoost ready to the batayll.
15:25	For he hath stretched out hys hande agaynst God, and armed hym selfe agaynst the almyghtye,
15:26	He runneth proudly vpon hym, and with a styff necke fyghteth he agaynst hym:
15:27	where as he couereth hys face with fatnesse, and maketh hys body well lykynge.
15:28	Therfore shall hys dwellynge be in desolate cyties, and in houses which no man inhabyteth, but are become heapes of stones.
15:29	He shall not be riche, nether shall hys substaunce contynue, ner encrease vpon earthe.
15:30	He shall neuer come oute of darcknesse, the flame shall drye vp hys braunches: with the blast of the mouth of God shall he be taken awaye.
15:31	He beleueth not that he is in vanyte, and yet he is out of the waye, and vanyte shalbe hys recompence.
15:32	He shall perysh, afore hys tyme be worne out, and hys braunche shall not be grene.
15:33	He shalbe pluckt of as an vntymely grape from the vyne, & shall lett his floure fall, as the olyue doth.
15:34	For the congregacyyon of ypocrites shalbe desolate and vnfrutefull, and the fyre shall consume the houses of soch as are gredy to receaue giftes.
15:35	He conceaueth trauayle, and beareth vanyte, and theyr bodye bryngeth forth disceate.


15:1	Forsothe Eliphat Themanytes answeride, and seide,
15:2	Whether a wise man schal answere, as spekynge ayens the wynd, and schal fille his stomac with brennyng, `that is, ire?
15:3	For thou repreuest hym bi wordis, which is not lijk thee, and thou spekist that, that spedith not to thee.
15:4	As myche as is in thee, thou hast avoidid drede; and thou hast take awey preyeris bifor God.
15:5	For wickidnesse hath tauyt thi mouth, and thou suest the tunge of blasfemeris.
15:6	Thi tunge, and not Y, schal condempne thee, and thi lippis schulen answere thee.
15:7	Whether thou art borun the firste man, and art formed bifor alle little hillis?
15:8	Whether thou herdist the counsel of God, and his wisdom is lower than thou?
15:9	What thing knowist thou, whiche we knowen not? What thing vndurstondist thou, whiche we witen not?
15:10	Bothe wise men and elde, myche eldre than thi fadris, ben among vs.
15:11	Whether it is greet, that God coumforte thee? But thi schrewid wordis forbeden this.
15:12	What reisith thin herte thee, and thou as thenkynge grete thingis hast iyen astonyed?
15:13	What bolneth thi spirit ayens God, that thou brynge forth of thi mouth siche wordis?
15:14	What is a man, that he be with out wem, and that he borun of a womman appere iust?
15:15	Lo! noon among hise seyntis is vnchaungable, and heuenes ben not cleene in his siyt.
15:16	How myche more a man abhomynable and vnprofitable, that drynkith wickidnesse as water?
15:17	I schal schewe to thee, here thou me; Y schal telle to thee that, that Y siy.
15:18	Wise men knoulechen, and hiden not her fadris.
15:19	To whiche aloone the erthe is youun, and an alien schal not passe bi hem.
15:20	A wickid man is proud in alle hise daies; and the noumbre of hise yeeris and of his tirauntrie is vncerteyn.
15:21	The sown of drede is euere in hise eeris, and whanne pees is, he supposith euere tresouns.
15:22	He bileueth not that he may turne ayen fro derknessis to liyt; and biholdith aboute on ech side a swerd.
15:23	Whanne he stirith hym to seke breed, he woot, that the dai of derknessis is maad redi in his hond.
15:24	Tribulacioun schal make hym aferd, and angwisch schal cumpas hym, as a kyng which is maad redi to batel.
15:25	For he helde forth his hond ayens God, and he was maad strong ayens Almyyti God.
15:26	He ran with neck reisid ayens God, and he was armed with fat nol.
15:27	Fatnesse, that is, pride `comyng forth of temporal aboundaunce, hilide his face, `that is, the knowyng of vndurstondyng, and outward fatnesse hangith doun of his sidis.
15:28	He schal dwelle in desolat citees, and in deseert, `ethir forsakun, housis, that ben turned in to biriels.
15:29	He schal not be maad riche, nether his catel schal dwelle stidefastli; nether he schal sende his roote in the erthe,
15:30	nether he schal go awei fro derknessis. Flawme schal make drie hise braunchis, and he schal be takun a wey bi the spirit of his mouth.
15:31	Bileue he not veynli disseyued bi errour, that he schal be ayenbouyt bi ony prijs.
15:32	Bifor that hise daies ben fillid, he schal perische, and hise hondis schulen wexe drye;
15:33	he schal be hirt as a vyne in the firste flour of his grape, and as an olyue tre castinge awei his flour.
15:34	For the gaderyng togidere of an ipocrite is bareyn, and fier schal deuoure the tabernaclis of hem, that taken yiftis wilfuli.
15:35	He conseyuede sorewe, and childide wickidnesse, and his wombe makith redi tretcheries.


15:1	Then answered Eliphas the Themanite, and sayde:
15:2	Shulde a wyse man geue soch an answere (as it were one that spake in the wynde) and fyll his stomacke with anger?
15:3	Thou reprouest wt wordes, that are nothinge wroth: and speakest the thinges, which can do no good.
15:4	As for shame, thou hast set it asyde, els woldest thou not make so many wordes before God:
15:5	but thy wickednesse teacheth thy mouth, and so thou hast chosen the a craftie tonge.
15:6	Thine owne mouth condemneth the, and not I: yee thine owne lippes shappe the an answere.
15:7	Art thou the first man, that euer was borne? Or, wast thou made before the hylles?
15:8	hast thou herde the secrete councell of God, that all wy?dome is to litle for ye?
15:9	What knowest thou, yt we knowe not? What vnderstondest thou, but we can the same?
15:10	With vs are olde and aged men, yee soch as haue lyued longer then thy forefathers.
15:11	Dost thou nomore regarde the comforte of God? but thy wicked wordes wil not suffre the.
15:12	Why doth thine herte make the so proude? Why stondest thou so greatly in thine owne conceate? Where vnto loke thine eyes,
15:13	yt thy mynde is so puft vp agaynst God & lettest soch wordes go out of thy mouth?
15:14	What is man, that he shulde be vncleane? what hath he (which is borne of a woman) wherby he might be knowne to be rightuous?
15:15	Beholde, he hath founde vnfaithfulnesse amoge his owne sanctes: yee the very heauens are vnclene in his sight.
15:16	How moch more then an abhominable and vyle ma, which dryncketh wickednesse like water?
15:17	I will tell the, heare me: I wil shewe the a thinge, that I knowe:
15:18	which wyse men haue tolde, & hath not bene hyd from their fathers:
15:19	vnto whom only the londe was geuen, that no straunger shulde come amonge them.
15:20	The vngodly despayreth all the dayes of his life, & the nombre of a tyrauntes yeares is vnknowne.
15:21	A fearfull sounde is euer in his eares, & when it is peace, yet feareth he destruccion:
15:22	He beleueth neuer to be delyuered out of darcknesse, the swearde is allwaye before his eyes.
15:23	When he goeth forth to get his lyuinge, he thinketh planely, that the daye of darcknesse is at honde.
15:24	Sorow and carefulnesse make him afrayed, & copasse him rounde aboute, like as it were a kinge with his hoost redy to the battayll.
15:25	For he hath stretched out his honde agaynst God, & armed himself agaynst ye Allmightie.
15:26	He runneth proudly vpon him, & with a stiff necke fighteth he agaynst him:
15:27	where as he couereth his face with fatnesse, and maketh his body well lykynge.
15:28	Therfore shall his dwellynge be in desolate cities, & in houses which no ma inhabiteth, but are become heapes of stones.
15:29	He shall not be rich, nether shall his substaunce continue, ner encrease vpon earth.
15:30	He shal neuer come out of darcknesse, the flame shal drye vp his braunches, with ye blast of the mouth of God shal he be take awaie.
15:31	He wil nether applye himself to faithfulnes ner treuth, so sore is he disceaued wt vanite.
15:32	He shall perish, afore his tyme be worne out, and his honde shal not be grene.
15:33	He shalbe pluckte of as an vntymely grape from ye vyne, and shal let his floure fall, as the olyue doth.
15:34	For the congregacion of Ypocrites is vnfrutefull, & the fyre shal consume the houses of soch, as are gredy to receaue giftes.
15:35	He conceaueth trauayle, he beareth myschefe, & his body bryngeth forth disceate.
