Job - Chapter: 21


21:1	Iob aunswered, and saide
21:2	O heare diligently my wordes, and that shalbe in steede of your consolations
21:3	Suffer me that I may speake, and when I haue spoken mocke on
21:4	Is it for mans sake that I make this disputation? Which if it were so, shoulde not my spirite then be in sore trouble
21:5	Marke me well and be abashed, and lay your hande vpon your mouth
21:6	For when I consider my selfe I am afrayde, and my fleshe is smitten with feare
21:7	Wherefore do wicked men liue, come to their olde age, and increase in richesse
21:8	Their children lyue in their sight, and their generation before their eyes
21:9	Their houses are safe from all feare, and the rod of God is not vpon them
21:10	Their bullocke gendreth and that not out of time, their cowe calueth and is not vnfruitfull
21:11	They sende foorth their children by flockes, & their sonnes leade the daunce
21:12	They beare with them tabrets and harpes, and reioyce in the sounde of the organs
21:13	They spend their dayes in wealthines, but sodainely they go downe to the graue
21:14	They say also vnto God: Go from vs, we desire not the knowledge of thy wayes
21:15	Who is the almightie that we should serue him? And what profite should we haue if we should pray vnto him
21:16	Lo, there is vtterly no goodnesse in their hande, therefore wyll I not haue to do with the counsaile of the vngodly
21:17	How oft shall the candell of the wicked be put out, and their destruction come vpon them? O what sorowe shall God geue them for their part in his wrath
21:18	Yea, they shalbe euen as hay before the winde, and as chaffe that the storme carieth away
21:19	God wyll lay vp the sorowe of the father for his children: & when he rewardeth him, he shall know it
21:20	Their owne miserie shal they see with their eyes, and drinke of the fearefull wrath of the almightie
21:21	For what careth he for his house after his death, when the number of his monethes is cut short
21:22	Seeing God hath the highest power of all, who can teache him any knowledge
21:23	One dyeth in his full strength, being in all ease and prosperitie
21:24	His breastes are full of milke, and his bones runne full of marowe
21:25	Another dyeth in the bitternes of his soule, and neuer eateth with pleasure
21:26	They shall sleepe both alyke in the earth, and the wormes shall couer them
21:27	Beholde, I know what ye thinke, yea and the subtiltie that ye imagine against me
21:28	For ye say where is the princes palace? and where is the dwelling of the vngodly
21:29	Haue ye not asked them that go by the way? Doubtlesse ye cannot denie their tokens
21:30	That the wicked is kept vnto the day of destruction, and the vngodly shalbe brought foorth to the day of wrath
21:31	Who dare declare his way to his face? who wil rewarde him for that he doth
21:32	Yet shall he be brought to his graue, and dwell among the heape [of the dead.
21:33	Then shal the slymie valley be sweet vnto him, all men also must folowe him, as there are innumerable gone before him
21:34	Howe vayne then is the comfort that ye geue me, seyng falshood remayneth in all your aunsweres


21:1	Bvt Iob answered, and sayd,
21:2	Heare diligently my wordes, and this shalbe in stead of your consolations.
21:3	Suffer mee, that I may speake, and when I haue spoken, mocke on.
21:4	Doe I direct my talke to man? If it were so, how should not my spirit be troubled?
21:5	Marke mee, and be abashed, and lay your hand vpon your mouth.
21:6	Euen when I remember, I am afrayde, and feare taketh hold on my flesh.
21:7	Wherefore do the wicked liue, and waxe olde, and grow in wealth?
21:8	Their seede is established in their sight with them, and their generation before their eyes.
21:9	Their houses are peaceable without feare, and the rod of God is not vpon them.
21:10	Their bullocke gendreth, and fayleth not: their cow calueth, and casteth not her calfe.
21:11	They send forth their children like sheepe, and their sonnes dance.
21:12	They take the tabret and harpe, and reioyce in the sound of the organs.
21:13	They spend their dayes in wealth, and suddenly they go downe to the graue.
21:14	They say also vnto God, Depart from vs: for we desire not the knowledge of thy wayes.
21:15	Who is the Almightie, that we should serue him? and what profit should we haue, if we should pray vnto him?
21:16	Lo, their wealth is not in their hand: therfore let the counsell of the wicked bee farre from me.
21:17	How oft shall the candle of the wicked be put out? and their destruction come vpon them? he wil deuide their liues in his wrath.
21:18	They shall be as stubble before the winde, and as chaffe that the storme carieth away.
21:19	God wil lay vp the sorowe of the father for his children: when he rewardeth him, hee shall knowe it.
21:20	His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drinke of the wrath of the Almightie.
21:21	For what pleasure hath he in his house after him, when the nomber of his moneths is cut off?
21:22	Shall any teache God knowledge, who iudgeth the highest things?
21:23	One dyeth in his full strength, being in all ease and prosperitie.
21:24	His breasts are full of milke, and his bones runne full of marowe.
21:25	And another dieth in the bitternes of his soule, and neuer eateth with pleasure.
21:26	They shall sleepe both in the dust, and the wormes shall couer them.
21:27	Behold, I know your thoughts, and the enterprises, wherewith ye do me wrong.
21:28	For ye say, Where is the princes house? and where is the tabernacle of the wickeds dwelling?
21:29	May ye not aske the that go by the way? and ye can not deny their signes.
21:30	But the wicked is kept vnto the day of destruction, and they shall be brought forth to the day of wrath.
21:31	Who shall declare his way to his face? and who shall reward him for that he hath done?
21:32	Yet shall he be brought to the graue, and remaine in the heape.
21:33	The slimie valley shalbe sweete vnto him, and euery man shall draw after him, as before him there were innumerable.
21:34	How then comfort ye me in vaine, seeing in your answeres there remaine but lyes?


21:1	Iob answered, and sayde:
21:2	O heare my wordes, and that shalbe my comfort of you.
21:3	Suffre me a lytle, that I maye speake also, and then laugh my wordes to scorne.
21:4	Is it for mans sake that I make thys disputacyon? Which yf it were so, shulde not my sprete be then in sore trouble?
21:5	Marcke me well, and be abasshed, and laye youre hand vpon youre mouth.
21:6	For when I consyder my selfe, I am afrayed, and my fleshe is smytten with feare.
21:7	Wherfore do wycked men lyue in health and prosperite, come to theyr olde age, and increase in ryches?
21:8	Their chyldren lyue in theyr syght, and theyr generacyon before theyr eyes.
21:9	Their houses are safe from all feare, and the rodd of God doth not smyte them.
21:10	Their bullocke gendreth, and that not out of tyme: theyr cowe calueth, and is not vnfrutefull.
21:11	They sende forth their children by flockes, and their sonnes lede the daunce.
21:12	They beare with them tabrettes and harpes, and haue instrumentes of musycke at their pleasure.
21:13	They spende their dayes in welthynesse: but sodenly they go downe to hell.
21:14	They saye also vnto God: go from vs, we desyre not the knowledge of thy wayes.
21:15	Who is the Allmyghtie, that we shulde serue hym? And what profyt shuld we haue to submyt our selues vnto him?
21:16	Lo, there is vtterly no goodnesse in them, therfore will not I haue to do with the councell of the vngodly.
21:17	How oft shall the candle of the wycked be put out? how oft commeth their destruccion vpon them? O what sorowe shal God geue them for their parte in hys wrath?
21:18	Yee, they shall be euen as haye before the wynde, and as chaffe that the storme caryeth awaye.
21:19	And though God saue their children from soch sorowe, yet wyll he so rewarde them selues, that they shall knowe it.
21:20	Their awne destruccion and misery shall they se with their eyes, and drincke of the fearfull wrath of the Almyghty.
21:21	For what careth he what become of his housholde after hys death, whan the nombre of his monethes is cut short?
21:22	In as moch then as God hath the hyest power of all, who can teach him eny knowledge?
21:23	One dyeth now when he is mightye and at hys best, ryche, and in prosperite:
21:24	euen when his bowels are at the fattest, and hys bones full of mary.
21:25	Another dyeth in sorowe and heuinesse, and neuer had good dayes.
21:26	They shall slepe both a lyke in the earth, & the wormes shall couer them.
21:27	Beholde, I knowe what ye thincke, yee, and the sotiltye that ye ymagyn agaynst me.
21:28	For ye saye: where is the princes palace? and where is the dwellynge of the vngodly:
21:29	haue ye not asked them that go by the waye? Doutlesse ye cannot denye their tokens,
21:30	that the wicked is kepte vnto the daye of destruccyon, and that the vngodly shalbe brought forth to the daye of wrath.
21:31	Who darre reproue him for his waye to hys face? Who wyll rewarde him for the vngraciousnesse that he doth?
21:32	Yet shall he be brought to his graue, and dwell among the heape of the deed.
21:33	Then shall he be fayne to be buried amonge the stones of the playne. All men also must folowe him, and there are innumerable gone before him.
21:34	How vayne then is the comforte that ye geue me? Doth not falshede remayne in all youre answers?
