📖 Job 35
-
1
Eliu spake morouer, and sayde:
-
2
Thinkest thou it right that thou sayest: I am rightuous before God
-
3
Seinge thou sayest so, how doest thou knowe it? What thinge hast thou more excellet, the I yt am a synner?
-
4
Therfore will I geue answere vnto the & thy frendes:
-
5
loke vnto the heaue, & beholde it: cosidre ye cloudes, how they are hyer then thou.
-
6
Yf thou synnest, what dost thou vnto him? Yf thine offences be many, how gettest thou his fauoure?
-
7
Yf thou be rightuous, what geuest thou him? Or, what receaueth he of thy handes?
-
8
Of soch an vngodly personne as thou, & of ye sonne of man that is rightuous as thou pretendest to be:
-
9
there is a greate crie & coplaynte made by the that are oppressed with violence, yee eueryman complayneth vpon the cruell arme of tyrauntes.
-
10
For soch one neuer sayeth: Where is God that made me? ad yt shyneth vpon vs, that we might prayse him in the night?
-
11
Which geueth vs more vnderstodinge then he doth the beastes of the earth, and teacheth vs more then the foules off heaue.
-
12
Yf eny soch complayne, no ma geueth answere, and yt because of the wickednesse off proude tyrauntes.
-
13
But yf a man call vpon God, doth not he heare him? Doth not the Almightie accepte his crie?
-
14
Wha thou speakest then, shulde not he pardon the, yff thou open thyself before him, and put thy trust in him?
-
15
Then vseth he no violence in his wrath nether hath he pleasure in curious and depe inquisicions.
-
16
Therfore hath Iob opened his mouth but in vayne, ad folishly hath he made so many wordes.
