Oh, no. 30 I neuer suffred my mouth to sinne, by wishing a curse to his soule. 31 Dyd not the men of myne owne housholde say, Who shall let vs to haue our belly full of his fleshe? 32 The straunger dyd not lodge in the streete, but I opened my doores vnto him that went by the way. 33 Haue I kept secrete my sinne, and hyd myne iniquitie, as Adam dyd? 34 Though I coulde haue made afeard a great multitude, yet the most contemptible of the families dyd feare me: so I kept scilence, and went not out of the doore. 35 O that I had one which woulde heare me: beholde my signe in the whiche the almightie shal aunswere for me, though he that is my contrarie partie hath written a booke against me. 36 Yet will I take it vpon my shoulder, & as a garlande binde it about my head. 37 I will tell hym the number of my goinges, & go vnto him as to a prince. 38 But if case be that my lande crye against me, or that the forowes thereof make any complaynt: 39 If I haue eaten the fruites therof vnpayed for, yea if I haue greeued the soules of the maisters therof: 40 Then let thystles growe in steede of my wheate, and cockle for my barlye.
