Job - Chapter: 29


29:1	So Iob proceaded and went forth in his communicacyon, sayenge.
29:2	O that I were as I was in the monethes by past, and in the dayes when God preserued me:
29:3	when his light shyned vpon my head: when I wente after the same lyght and shynynge, euen thorowe the darcknesse.
29:4	As it stode with me when I was yonge: when God prospered my house:
29:5	when the Almyghtie was yet with me: when my chyldren stode aboute me:
29:6	when my wayes ranne ouer with butter, and when the stony rockes gaue me ryuers of oyle:
29:7	when I wente thorowe the cytie vnto the gate, and when they set me a chayre in the strete:
29:8	when the yonge men (as soone as they sawe me) hid them selues, and when the aged arose, and stode vp vnto me,
29:9	when the Princes left of their talkinge, and layed their hande to their mouth:
29:10	when the myghty kepte still their voyce, and when their tonge cleued to the rofe of their mouthe.
29:11	When all they that herde me, called me happye: and when all they that sawe me, spake good of me.
29:12	For I deliuered the poore when he cried, and so did I the fatherlesse and him that had none to holde him.
29:13	He that shulde haue bene lost, gaue me a good worde, and the wyddowes herte praysed me.
29:14	And why? I put vpon me ryghteousnes, which couered me as a garment, and equyte was my crowne.
29:15	I was an eye vnto the blynde, and a fote to the lame,
29:16	I was a father vnto the poore: and when I knewe not the cause, I sought it out diligently.
29:17	I brake the chawes of the vnrighteous man, and pluckte the spoyle out of his teth.
29:18	Therfore, I thought verely that I shuld haue dyed in my nest: and that my dayes shulde haue bene as many as the sondes of the see.
29:19	For my roote was spred out by the watersyde, and the dewe laye vpon my corne.
29:20	Myne honour encreased more and more, and my bowe was euer the stronger in my hand.
29:21	Unto me men gaue eare, me they regarded, and with sylence they taryed for my councell.
29:22	If I had spoken, they wolde haue it none other wayes, my wordes were so well taken amonge them.
29:23	They wayted for me as for the rayne: and gaped vpon me, as the grounde doth to receaue the latter shower.
29:24	When I laughed, they knewe well it was not earnest: and the lyght of my countenaunce wolde they not put out.
29:25	When I agreed vnto theyr waye, I was the chefe, and sat as a kynge with hys armye aboute hym. And whan they were in heuynes, I was theyr comfortoure.


29:1	Also Joob addide, takynge his parable, and seide,
29:2	Who yyueth to me, that I be bisidis the elde monethis, bi the daies in whiche God kepte me?
29:3	Whanne his lanterne schynede on myn heed, and Y yede in derknessis at his liyt.
29:4	As Y was in the daies of my yongthe, whanne in priuete God was in my tabernacle.
29:5	Whanne Almyyti God was with me, and my children weren in my cumpas;
29:6	whanne Y waischide my feet in botere, and the stoon schedde out to me the stremes of oile;
29:7	whanne Y yede forth to the yate of the citee, and in the street thei maden redi a chaier to me.
29:8	Yonge men, `that is, wantoun, sien me, and weren hid, and elde men risynge vp stoden;
29:9	princes ceessiden to speke, and puttiden the fyngur on her mouth;
29:10	duykis refreyneden her vois, and her tunge cleuyde to her throte.
29:11	An eere herynge blesside me, and an iye seynge yeldide witnessyng to me;
29:12	for Y hadde delyueride a pore man criynge, and a fadirles child, that hadde noon helpere.
29:13	The blessyng of a man `to perische cam on me, and Y coumfortide the herte of a widewe.
29:14	Y was clothid with riytfulnesse; and Y clothide me as with a cloth, and with my `doom a diademe.
29:15	Y was iye `to a blynde man, and foot to a crokyd man.
29:16	Y was a fadir of pore men; and Y enqueride most diligentli the cause, which Y knew not.
29:17	Y al tobrak the grete teeth of the wickid man, and Y took awei prey fro hise teeth.
29:18	And Y seide, Y schal die in my nest; and as a palm tre Y schal multiplie daies.
29:19	My roote is openyde bisidis watris, and deew schal dwelle in my repyng.
29:20	My glorie schal euere be renulid, and my bouwe schal be astorid in myn hond.
29:21	Thei, that herden me, abiden my sentence; and thei weren ententif, and weren stille to my counsel.
29:22	Thei dursten no thing adde to my wordis; and my speche droppide on hem.
29:23	Thei abididen me as reyn; and thei openyden her mouth as to the softe reyn `comynge late.
29:24	If ony tyme Y leiyide to hem, thei bileueden not; and the liyt of my cheer felde not doun in to erthe.
29:25	If Y wolde go to hem, Y sat the firste; and whanne Y sat as kyng, while the oost stood aboute, netheles Y was comfortour of hem that morenyden.


29:1	So Iob proceaded and wete forth in his communicacion, sayenge:
29:2	O yt I were as I was in the monethes by past, & in the dayes whe God preserued me:
29:3	when his light shyned vpon my heade: whe I wente after the same light & shyne eue thorow the darcknesse.
29:4	As it stode wt me, whe I was welthy & had ynough: whe God prospered my house:
29:5	when the allmightie was with me: when my housholde folkes stode aboute me:
29:6	whe my wayes ranne ouer wt butter, & when the stony rockes gaue me ryuers of oyle:
29:7	when I wente thorow the cite vnto the gate, & whe they set me a chayre in ye strete:
29:8	whe the yonge me (as soone as they sawe me) hyd the selues, & when the aged arose, & stode vp vnto me:
29:9	whe the princes left of their talkinge, & laied their hade to their mouth:
29:10	whe the mightie kepte still their voyce, and whe their tonges cleued to the rofe of their mouthes.
29:11	When all they yt herde me, called me happie: & when all they yt sawe me, wysshed me good.
29:12	For I delyuered ye poore whe he cried, & the fatherlesse yt wanted helpe.
29:13	He yt shulde haue bene lost, gaue me a good worde, & ye widdowes hert praised me.
29:14	And why? I put vpon me rightuousnes, which couered me as a garmet, & equite was my crowne.
29:15	I was an eye vnto the blynde, & a fote to the lame.
29:16	I was a father vnto the poore, & whe I knew not their cause, I sought it out diligetly.
29:17	I brake the chaftes of ye vnrightuous, & plucte the spoyle out of their teth.
29:18	Therfore, I thought verely, yt I shulde haue dyed in my nest: & yt my dayes shulde haue bene as many as the sondes of the see.
29:19	For my rote was spred out by the waters syde, & the dew laye vpo my corne.
29:20	My honor encreased more & more, and my bowe was euer the stronger in my hande.
29:21	Vnto me men gaue eare, me they regarded, & wt sylence they taried for my coucell.
29:22	Yf I had spoken, they wolde haue it none other wayes, my wordes were so well taken amonge the.
29:23	They wayted for me, as the earth doth for the rayne: & gaped vpon me, as the groude doth to receaue the latter shower.
29:24	When I laughed, they knew well it was not earnest: & this testimony of my coutenaunce pleased the nothinge at all.
29:25	When I agreed vnto their waye, I was the chefe, & sat as a kynge amonge his seruauntes: Or as one that comforteth soch as be in heuynesse.
