Job - Chapter: 28


28:1	There is a place where siluer is brought out of, and where golde is tried
28:2	where yron is dygged out of the ground, and stones resolued to metall.
28:3	The darckenes shall once come to an ende, he can seke out the grounde of all thinges: the stones, the darcke, and the shadow of death.
28:4	With the ryuer of water parteth he asunder the straunge people, that knowe no good neyghbour head: soch as are rude, vnmanerly and boyustours.
28:5	He bringeth foode out of the erth, and that which is vnder, consumeth he with fyre.
28:6	There is founde a place, whose stones are cleane Saphirs, and where the clottes of the earth are golde.
28:7	There is a waye also that the byrdes knowe not, that no vulturs eye hath sene:
28:8	wherin the lions whelpes walke not, and where no lion commeth.
28:9	There putteth he his hande vpon the stony rockes, and ouerthroweth the mountaines.
28:10	Riuers flowe out of the rockes, and loke what is pleasaunt, his eye seyth it.
28:11	Out of droppes bringeth he greate floudes together, and the thinge that is hyd bringeth he to light.
28:12	How commeth a man then by wysdome? Where is the place that men fynde vnderstanding?
28:13	Uerely no man can tell how worthy a thinge she is, nether she is founde in the lande of them that lyue.
28:14	The depe saieth: she is not with me. The see saieth: she is not with me
28:15	She can not be gottten for golde, nether maye the pryce of her be bought with eny syluer.
28:16	No wedges of golde of Ophir, no precions Onix stones, no Saphirs maye be compared vnto her.
28:17	No, nether golde ner Christall, nether swete odours ner golden plate.
28:18	There is nothinge so worthy, or so excellent, as once to be named vnto her: for perfecte wysdome goeth farre beyonde them all,
28:19	The Topas that commeth out of Inde, maye in no wyse be likened vnto her: yee, no maner of apparell howe pleasaunt and fayre soeuer it be.
28:20	From whence then commeth wisdome? and where is the place of vnderstandinge?
28:21	She is hid from the eyes of all men liuinge, yee, and from the foules of the ayre.
28:22	Destruccion and death saye: we haue herde tell of her with oure eares.
28:23	But God seeth her waye, and knoweth her place.
28:24	For he beholdeth the endes of the world, and loketh vpon all that is vnder heauen.
28:25	When he weyed the wyndes, and measured the waters:
28:26	when he set the rayne in ordre, and gaue the myghtye floudes a lawe:
28:27	Then dyd he se her, then declared he her, prepared her and knewe her.
28:28	And vnto man he sayde: Beholde, to feare the Lorde, is wysdome: and to for sake euell. is vnderstandinge.


28:1	Siluer hath bigynnyngis of his veynes; and a place is to gold, in which it is wellid togidere.
28:2	Irun is takun fro erthe, and a stoon resolued, `ethir meltid, bi heete, is turned in to money.
28:3	God hath set tyme to derknessis, and he biholdith the ende of alle thingis.
28:4	Also a stronde departith a stoon of derknesse, and the schadewe of deth, fro the puple goynge in pilgrymage; it departith tho hillis, whiche the foot of a nedi man foryat, and hillis with out weie.
28:5	The erthe, wher of breed cam forth in his place, is destried bi fier.
28:6	The place of saphir ben stoonys therof, and the clottis therof ben gold.
28:7	A brid knewe not the weie, and the iye of a vultur, ethir rauenouse brid, bihelde it not.
28:8	The sones of marchauntis tretiden not on it, and a lyonesse passide not therbi.
28:9	God stretchide forth his hond to a flynt; he distriede hillis fro the rootis.
28:10	He hewide doun ryuers in stoonys; and his iye siy al precious thing.
28:11	And he souyte out the depthis of floodis; and he brouyte forth hid thingis in to liyt.
28:12	But where is wisdom foundun, and which is the place of vndurstondyng?
28:13	A man noot the prijs therof, nether it is foundun in the lond of men lyuynge swetli, `ether delicatli.
28:14	The depthe of watris seith, It is not in me; and the see spekith, It is not with me.
28:15	Gold ful cleene schal not be youun for wisdom, nether siluer schal be weied in the chaungyng therof.
28:16	It schal not be comparysound to the died colours of Iynde, not to the moost preciouse stoon of sardius, nether to saphir.
28:17	Nether gold, nether glas schal be maad euene worth therto;
28:18	and hiye and fer apperynge vessels of gold schulen not be chaungid for wisdom, nether schulen be had in mynde in comparisoun therof. Forsothe wisdom is drawun of pryuy thingis;
28:19	topasie of Ethiope schal not be maad euene worth to wisdom, and moost preciouse diyngis schulen not be set togidere in prijs, `ether comparisound, therto.
28:20	Therfor wherof cometh wisdom, and which is the place of vndurstondyng?
28:21	It is hid fro the iyen of alle lyuynge men; also it is hid fro briddis of heuene.
28:22	Perdicioun and deeth seiden, With oure eeris we herden the fame therof.
28:23	God vndurstondith the weye therof, and he knowith the place therof.
28:24	For he biholdith the endis of the world, and biholdith alle thingis that ben vndur heuene.
28:25	`Which God made weiyte to wyndis, and weiede watris in mesure.
28:26	Whanne he settide lawe to reyn, and weie to tempestis sownynge;
28:27	thanne he siy wisdom, and telde out, and made redi, and souyte out.
28:28	And he seide to man, Lo! the drede of the Lord, thilke is wisdom; and to go awei fro yuel, is vndurstondyng.


28:1	There are places where syluer is molte, & where golde is tryed:
28:2	where yron is dygged out of the grounde, & stones resolued to metall.
28:3	The darcknes shal once come to an ende, he can seke out the grounde of all thinges: the stones, the darcke, & the horrible shadowe,
28:4	wt the ryuer of water parteth he a sunder the straunge people, yt knoweth no good neghbourheade: soch as are rude, vnmanerly & boysteous.
28:5	He bryngeth foode out of the earth, & yt which is vnder, consumeth he with fyre.
28:6	There is founde a place, whose stones are clene Saphirs, and where ye clottes of the earth are golde.
28:7	There is a waye also that the byrdes knowe not, that no vulturs eye hath sene:
28:8	wherin ye proude & hye mynded walke not, & where no lyon commeth.
28:9	There putteth he his honde vpon the stony rockes, & ouerthroweth the mountaynes.
28:10	Ryuers flowe out of the rockes, & loke what is pleasaunt, his eye seyth it.
28:11	Out of droppes bryngeth he greate floudes together, & the thinge that is hyd bryngeth he to light.
28:12	How commeth a man then by wy?dome? Where is the place that men fynde vnderstondinge?
28:13	Verely no man can tell how worthy a thinge she is, nether is she foude in the lode of the lyuynge.
28:14	The depe sayeth: she is not in me. The see sayeth: she is not with me.
28:15	She can not be gotten for the most fyne golde, nether maye the pryce of her be bought with eny moneye.
28:16	No wedges of golde of Ophir, no precious Onix stones, no Saphirs maye be compared vnto her.
28:17	No, nether golde ner Christall, nether swete odours ner golden plate.
28:18	There is nothinge so worthy, or so excellet, as once to be named vnto her: for parfecte wy?dome goeth farre beyonde the all.
28:19	The Topas that cometh out of Inde, maye in no wyse be lickened vnto her: yee no maner of apparell how pleasaunt and fayre so euer it be.
28:20	From whece then commeth wy?dome? & where is the place of vnderstondinge?
28:21	She is hyd from the eyes of all men, yee & fro the foules of the ayre.
28:22	Destruccion & death saie: we haue herde tell of her wt oure eares.
28:23	But God seyth hir waie, & knoweth hir place.
28:24	For he beholdeth the endes of the worlde, and loketh vpon all that is vnder the heaue.
28:25	When he weyed the wyndes, & measured ye waters:
28:26	when he set the rayne in ordre, and gaue the mightie floudes a lawe:
28:27	Then dyd he se her, the declared he her, prepared her and knewe her.
28:28	And vnto man he sayde: Beholde, to feare the LORDE, is wy?dome: & to forsake euell, is vnderstondinge.
