| 33:1 | Wherfore, heare my wordes (O Iob) and herken vnto me all that I will saye: |
| 33:2 | Beholde, I haue now opened my mouth, my tonge hath spoken in my throte. |
| 33:3 | My hert doth ordre my wordes a ryght, and my lyppes talke of pure wysdome. |
| 33:4 | The spryte of God hath made me, and the breth of the Almyghtye hath geuen me my lyfe. |
| 33:5 | If thou canst, then geue me answere: prepare thy selfe to stande before me face to face, |
| 33:6 | Beholde, before God am I euen as thou, for I am fashyoned and made euen of the same mould. |
| 33:7 | Therfore, thou nedest not to be afrayed of me, nether nedest thou to feare, that my auctoryte shalbe to heuy for the. |
| 33:8 | Now hast thou spoken in myne eares, and I haue herde the voyce of thy wordes: |
| 33:9 | I am cleane wythout any faute, I am innocent, and there is no wyckednes in me. |
| 33:10 | But lo, he hath picked a quarell agaynst me, and taketh me for hys enemy: |
| 33:11 | he hath put my fote in the stockes, and loketh narowly vnto all my pathes. |
| 33:12 | Beholde, in thys hast thou not done ryght. I wyll make answere vnto the, that God is more then man. |
| 33:13 | And why doest thou then stryue agaynst him: for he shall not geue the accomptes of all hys wordes. |
| 33:14 | For when God doth once commaunde a thynge, there shulde no man be curyous, to searche whether it be ryght. |
| 33:15 | In dreames and visyons of the nyght (when slombring commeth vpon men, that they fall a slepe in their beddes) |
| 33:16 | he roundeth them in the eares, he infourmeth them, and sheweth them playnely, |
| 33:17 | that it is he, whych withdraweth man from euyll, delyuereth hym from pryde, |
| 33:18 | kepeth hym from the graue, and hys lyfe from the swearde. |
| 33:19 | He chasteneth hym wyth sycknesse, and bryngeth hym to his bed: he layeth sore punyshement vpon hys bones, |
| 33:20 | so that hys lyfe maye awaye wyth no bred, and his soule abhorreth to eat any dayntie meat: |
| 33:21 | In so moch that hys body is cleane consumed awaye, and his bones appeare no more. |
| 33:22 | Hys lyfe draweth on to the graue, and hys lyfe to death. |
| 33:23 | Now, yf there be a messenger (one amonge a thousande) sent for to speake vnto man, and to shewe him the ryght waye: |
| 33:24 | then the Lorde is mercyfull vnto hym, and sayeth: He shalbe delyuered, that he fall not downe to the graue, for I am sufficiently reconcyled. |
| 33:25 | Than shall hys flesh be as well lykyng as it was afore, and shalbe as it was in hys youth. |
| 33:26 | For yf he submytte hym selfe vnto God, he shalbe gracious vnto him, and shewe him his countenaunce ioyfully, & rewardeth man for his ryghteousnes. |
| 33:27 | Soch a respecte hath he vnto men. Therfore, let a man confesse (and saye) I haue offended: I dyd vnryghteously, and it hath done me no good. |
| 33:28 | Yee, he hath delyuered my soule from destruccyon, and my lyfe shall se the lyght. |
| 33:29 | Lo, thus worcketh God allwaye with man, |
| 33:30 | that he kepeth hys soule from perishing, and letteth hym enioye the lyght of the lyuynge. |
| 33:31 | Marcke well (O Iob) and heare me: holde the styll, and I will speake. |
| 33:32 | But yf thou hast any thynge to saye, then answere me, and speake, for thy answere pleaseth me. |
| 33:33 | If thou hast nothinge, then heare me, and holde thy tonge, so shall I teach the wisdome. |
| 33:1 | Therfor, Joob, here thou my spechis, and herkene alle my wordis. |
| 33:2 | Lo! Y haue openyd my mouth, my tunge schal speke in my chekis. |
| 33:3 | Of symple herte ben my wordis, and my lippis schulen speke clene sentence. |
| 33:4 | The spirit of God made me, and the brething of Almyyti God quykenyde me. |
| 33:5 | If thou maist, answere thou to me, and stoonde thou ayens my face. |
| 33:6 | Lo! God made me as and thee; and also Y am formyd of the same cley. |
| 33:7 | Netheles my myracle make thee not afeerd, and myn eloquence be not greuouse to thee. |
| 33:8 | Therfor thou seidist in myn eeris, and Y herde the vois of thi wordis; |
| 33:9 | Y am cleene, and with out gilt, and vnwemmed, and wickidnesse is not in me. |
| 33:10 | `For God foond querels in me, therfor he demyde me enemy to hym silf. |
| 33:11 | He hath set my feet in a stok; he kepte alle my pathis. |
| 33:12 | Therfor this thing it is, in which thou art not maad iust; Y schal answere to thee, that God is more than man. |
| 33:13 | Thou stryuest ayenus God, that not at alle wordis he answeride to thee. |
| 33:14 | God spekith onys, and the secounde tyme he rehersith not the same thing. |
| 33:15 | God spekith bi a dreem in the visioun of nyyt, whanne sleep fallith on men, and thei slepen in the bed. |
| 33:16 | Thanne he openith the eeris of men, and he techith hem, `and techith prudence; |
| 33:17 | that he turne awei a man fro these thingis whiche he made, and delyuere hym fro pride; delyuerynge his soule fro corrupcioun, |
| 33:18 | and his lijf, that it go not in to swerd. |
| 33:19 | Also God blameth a synnere bi sorewe in the bed, and makith alle the boonys of hym `to fade. |
| 33:20 | Breed is maad abhomynable to hym in his lijf, and mete desirable `bifor to his soule. |
| 33:21 | His fleisch schal faile for rot, and hise boonys, that weren hilid, schulen be maad nakid. |
| 33:22 | His soule schal neiye to corrupcioun, and his lijf to thingis `bryngynge deeth. |
| 33:23 | If an aungel, oon of a thousynde, is spekynge for hym, that he telle the equyte of man, God schal haue mercy on hym, |
| 33:24 | and schal seie, Delyuere thou hym, that he go not doun in to corrupcioun; Y haue founde in what thing Y schal do merci to hym. |
| 33:25 | His fleisch is wastid of turmentis; turne he ayen to the daies of his yonge wexynge age. |
| 33:26 | He schal biseche God, and he schal be quemeful to hym; and he schal se his face in hertly ioye, and he schal yelde to man his riytfulnesse. |
| 33:27 | He schal biholde men, and he schal seie, Y haue synned, and verili Y haue trespassid; and Y haue not resseyued, as Y was worthi. |
| 33:28 | For he delyueride his soule, that it schulde not go in to perischyng, but that he lyuynge schulde se liyt. |
| 33:29 | Lo! God worchith alle these thingis in thre tymes bi alle men; |
| 33:30 | that he ayen clepe her soulis fro corrupcioun, and liytne in the liyt of lyuynge men. |
| 33:31 | Thou, Joob, perseyue, and here me, and be thou stille, the while Y speke. |
| 33:32 | Sotheli if thou hast what thou schalt speke, answere thou to me, speke thou; for Y wole, that thou appere iust. |
| 33:33 | That if thou hast not, here thou me; be thou stille, and Y schal teche thee wisdom. |
| 33:1 | Wherfore, heare my wordes (O Iob) & herken vnto all, that I wyll saye: |
| 33:2 | Beholde, I wil open my mouth, & my tonge shal speake out of my chawes. |
| 33:3 | My hert shall ordre my wordes a right, & my lyppes shal talke of pure wy?dome. |
| 33:4 | The sprete of God hath made me, & the breth of the Allmightie hath geue me my life. |
| 33:5 | Yf thou cast, then geue me answere: prepare thy self to stode before me face to face. |
| 33:6 | Beholde, before God am I euen as thou, for I am fashioned and made eue of the same moulde. |
| 33:7 | Therfore, thou nedest not be afrayed of me, nether nedest thou to feare, that my auctorite shal be to heuy for the. |
| 33:8 | Now hast thou spoken in myne eares, & I haue herde ye voyce of thy wordes: |
| 33:9 | I am clene without eny fawte, I am innocent, & there is no wickednesse in me. |
| 33:10 | But lo, he hath pyked a quarell agaynst me, & taketh me for his enemy: |
| 33:11 | he hath put my fote in the stockes, & loketh narowly vnto all my pathes. |
| 33:12 | Beholde, vnto these vnreasonable wordes of thyne wil I make answere. Shulde God be reproued of man? |
| 33:13 | Why doest thou then stryue agaynst him, because he geueth the no accomptes of all his doinges? |
| 33:14 | For whe God doth once commaunde a thinge, there shulde no man be curious, to search whether it be right. |
| 33:15 | In dreames and visions of the night season (when slombrynge cometh vpo me, that they fall a slepe in their beddes) |
| 33:16 | he rowneth them in the eares, he infourmeth them, & sheweth the planely, |
| 33:17 | that it is he, which withdraweth man from euell, delyuereth him from pryde, |
| 33:18 | kepeth his soule from destruccion, & his life from ye swearde. |
| 33:19 | he chasteneth him with sicknesse, & bringeth him to his bed: he laieth sore punyshmet vpo his bones, |
| 33:20 | so that his life maye awaye wt no bred, & his soule abhorreth to eate eny dayntie meate: |
| 33:21 | In so moch, that his body is clene consumed awaye, & his bones appeare nomore. |
| 33:22 | His soule draweth on to destruccion, & his life to death. |
| 33:23 | Now yf there be an angel (one amonge a thousande) sent for to speake vnto ma, and to shewe him the right waye: |
| 33:24 | the the LORDE is mercifull vnto him, & sayeth: He shalbe delyuered, yt he fall not downe to destruccion, for I am sufficiently recociled. |
| 33:25 | Than his flesh (which hath bene in misery & trouble) shalbe, as it was in his youth. |
| 33:26 | For yf he submitte himself vnto God, he is gracious, & sheweth him his countenaunce ioyfully, & rewardeth man for his rightuousnes. |
| 33:27 | Soch a respecte hath he vnto me. Therfore let a man cofesse, (& saye:) I offended, but he hath chastened & refourmed me: I dyd vnrightuously, neuerthelesse he hath not recopensed me therafter. |
| 33:28 | Yee he hath delyuered my soule from destruccion, & my life, that it seyth ye light. |
| 33:29 | Lo, thus worketh God allwaie with ma, |
| 33:30 | that he kepeth his soule from perishinge, & latteth him enioye the light of ye lyuinge. |

| 33:32 | But yf thou hast eny thinge to saye, then answere me and speake, for thy answere pleaseth me. |
| 33:33 | Yf thou hast nothinge, then heare me, and holde thy tonge, so shal I teach the wy?dome. |
