Job - Chapter: 21


21:1	But Iob answered, and sayd,
21:2	Heare diligently my speech, and let this be your consolations.
21:3	Suffer me that I may speake, and after that I haue spoken, mocke on.
21:4	As for mee, is my complaint to man? and if it were so, why should not my spirit be troubled?
21:5	Marke mee, and be astonished, and lay your hand vpon your mouth.
21:6	Euen when I remember, I am afraid, and trembling taketh holde on my flesh.
21:7	Wherefore doe the wicked liue, become old, yea, are mightie in power?
21:8	Their seede is established in their sight with them, and their offspring before their eyes.
21:9	Their houses are safe from feare, neither is the rod of God vpon them.
21:10	Their bull gendreth and faileth not, their cow calueth, and casteth not her calfe.
21:11	They send foorth their little ones like a flocke, and their children dance.
21:12	They take the timbrell and harpe, and reioyce at the sound of the organe.
21:13	They spend their daies in wealth, and in a moment goe downe to the graue.
21:14	Therefore they say vnto God, Depart from vs: for we desire not the knowledge of thy wayes.
21:15	What is the Almightie, that wee should serue him? and what profite should we haue, if we pray vnto him?
21:16	Loe, their good is not in their hand, the counsell of the wicked is farre from me.
21:17	How oft is the candle of the wicked put out? and how oft commeth their destruction vpon them? God distributeth sorrowes in his anger.
21:18	They are as stubble before the winde, and as chaffe that the storme carieth away.
21:19	God layeth vp his iniquitie for his children: he rewardeth him, and he shall know 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 number of his moneths is cut off in the middest?
21:22	Shall any teach God knowledge? seeing he iudgeth those that are high.
21:23	One dieth in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet.
21:24	His breasts are full of milke, and his bones are moistened with marrow.
21:25	And another dieth in the bitternesse of his soule, and neuer eateth with pleasure.
21:26	They shall lie downe alike in the dust, and the wormes shall couer them.
21:27	Behold, I know your thoughts, and the deuices which yee wrongfully imagine against me.
21:28	For ye say, where is the house of the prince? and where are the dwelling places of the wicked?
21:29	Haue ye not asked them that goe by the way? and doe ye not know their tokens?
21:30	That the wicked is reserued to the day of destruction; they shall bee brought foorth to the day of wrath.
21:31	Who shall declare his way to his face? and who shall repay him what he hath done?
21:32	Yet shall hee be brought to the graue, & shall remaine in the tombe.
21:33	The cloudes of the valley shalbe sweete vnto him, and euery man shall draw after him, as there are innumerable before him.
21:34	How then comfort ye me in vaine, seeing in your answeres there remaineth falshood?


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?
