Haue I caused ye wyddowe stonde waytinge for me in vayne? 17 Haue I eaten my porcion alone, that the fatherles hath had no parte with me? 18 (for mercy grewe vp with me fro my youth, & compassion fro my mothers wombe.) 19 Haue I sene eny man perish thorow nakednes & want of clothinge? Or, eny poore man for lack of rayment, 20 whose sydes thanked me not, because he was warmed wt ye woll of my shepe? 21 Dyd I euer lyft vp my honde to hurte the fatherlesse? Yee in the gate where I sawe my self to be in auctorite: 22 The let myne arme fall fro my shulder, & myne arme holes be broken from the ioyntes. 23 For I haue euer feared ye vengeaunce & punyshmet of God, & knew very well, yt I was not able to beare his burthe. 24 Haue I put my trust in golde? Or, haue I sayde to the fynest golde of all: thou art my cofidence? 25 Haue I reioysed because my substaunce was greate, and because my honde gat so moch? 26 Dyd I euer greatly regarde the rysinge of the Sonne? Or, had I the goinge downe of ye Moone in greate reputacion? 27 Hath my hert medled priuely wt eny disceate? Or, dyd I euer kysse myne owne honde 28 (that were a wickednesse worthy to be punyshed, for then shulde I haue denyed the God that is aboue.) 29 Haue I euer reioysed at the hurte of myne enemy? Or, was I euer glad, yt eny harme happened vnto him? Oh no, 30 I neuer suffred my mouth to do soch a sinne, as to wysh him euell. 31 Yet they of myne owne housholde saye: who shal let vs, to haue oure bely ful of his flesh? 32 I haue not suffred a straunger to lye wt out, but opened my dores vnto him. 33 Haue I euer done eny wicked dede where thorow I shamed my self before men: Or eny abhominacion, yt I was fayne to hyde it? 34 For yf I had feared eny greate multitude of people: Or yf I had bene dispysed of ye symple, Oh then shulde I haue bene afrayed. Thus haue I quyetly spent my lyfe, and not gone out at ye dore. 35 O that I had one which wolde heare me. Lo, this is my cause. Let ye Allmightie geue me answere: & let him that is my cotrary party, sue me with a lybell. 36 Then shall I take it vpon my shulder, & as a garlade aboute my heade. 37 I haue tolde the nombre of my goinges, and delyuered them vnto him as to a prynce. 38 But yf case be that my londe crie agaynst me, or yt the forowes therof make eny complaynte: 39 yf I haue eaten the frutes therof vnpayed for, yee yf I haue greued eny of the plow men: 40 Than, let thistles growe in steade of my wheate, & thornes for my barlye.Here ende the wordes of Iob.
