| 36:3 | I wyll open vnto the yet more of myne vnderstandynge, & proue my mater ryghteous. |
| 36:4 | And truly, my wordes shall not be vayne, seynge he is with the that is perfect in knowlege: |
| 36:5 | behold, the greate God casteth awaye no man, for he him selfe is myghty in power and wysdome. |
| 36:6 | As for the vngodly, he shall not preserue hym, but shall helpe the poore to their ryght. |
| 36:7 | He shall turne hys eyes awaye from the ryghteous, but as kynges shall they be in theyr trone, he shall stablysh them for euer, & they shalbe exalted. |
| 36:8 | But yf they be layed in preson and cheynes, or bounde with the bondes of trouble, |
| 36:9 | then wyll he shewe them theyr worcke, and the synnes wher with they haue vsed cruell vyolence. |
| 36:10 | He wyth punysshynge and nurtringe of them, roundeth them in the eares, warneth them to leaue of from theyr wyckednesse, & to amende. |
| 36:11 | If they now wyll take hede and serue him, they shall were out theyr dayes in prosperite, and theyr yeares in pleasure and ioye. |
| 36:12 | But yf they wyll not herken, they shall go thorow the swearde, and perysh or euer they be aware. |
| 36:13 | As for soch as be fayned ypocrites, they shall heape vp wrath for them selues: for they call not vpon hym, though they be hys presoners. |

| 36:21 | But bewarre that thou turne not asyde to wyckednesse and synne, which hither to thou hast chosen more then mekenesse. |

| 36:25 | yee, wondre at hym, and yet they se hym but afarre of. |
| 36:26 | Beholde, so greate is God, that he passeth oure knowledge, nether are we able to come to the experience of hys yeares. |

| 36:28 | so that they poure downe and droppe vpon men. |

| 36:30 | and cause hys lyght to shyne vpon them, and to couer the botome of the see. |
| 36:31 | By these thinges gouerneth he hys people, and geueth them aboundaunce of meate. |
| 36:32 | Wyth the cloudes he hydeth the lyght, and at hys commaundement it commeth agayne. |
| 36:33 | The rysyng vp therof sheweth he to hys frendes & to the catell. |
