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 proceeded and continued his parable, saying,
29:2	Oh that I were as in times past, when God preserued me!
29:3	When his light shined vpon mine head: and when by his light I walked thorowe the darkenesse,
29:4	As I was in the dayes of my youth: when Gods prouidence was vpon my tabernacle:
29:5	When the almightie was yet with me, and my children round about me.
29:6	When I washed my pathes with butter, and when the rocke powred me out riuers of oyle:
29:7	When I went out to the gate, euen to the iudgement seat, and when I caused them to prepare my seate in the streete.
29:8	The yong men saw me, and hid themselues, and the aged arose, and stood vp.
29:9	The princes stayed talke, and layde their hand on their mouth.
29:10	The voyce of princes was hidde, and their tongue cleaued to the roofe of their mouth.
29:11	And when the eare heard me, it blessed me: and when the eye sawe me, it gaue witnesse to me.
29:12	For I deliuered the poore that cryed, and the fatherlesse, and him that had none to helpe him.
29:13	The blessing of him that was ready to perish, came vpon me, and I caused the widowes heart to reioyce.
29:14	I put on iustice, and it couered me: my iudgement was as a robe, and a crowne.
29:15	I was the eyes to the blinde, and I was the feete 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 also the chawes of the vnrighteous man, and pluckt the praye out of his teeth.
29:18	Then I sayde, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiplie my dayes as the sand.
29:19	For my roote is spread out by the water, and the dewe shall lye vpon my branche.
29:20	My glory shall renue towarde me, and my bowe shall be restored in mine hand.
29:21	Vnto me men gaue eare, and wayted, and helde their tongue at my counsell.
29:22	After my wordes they replied not, and my talke dropped vpon them.
29:23	And they wayted for me, as for the raine, and they opened their mouth as for the latter rayne.
29:24	If I laughed on them, they beleeued it not: neither did they cause the light of my countenance to fall.
29:25	I appoynted out their way, and did sit as chiefe, and dwelt as a King in the army, and like him that comforteth the mourners.
