Why does the spelling look unusual?

¹ And Iob answered, and sayd,

² No doubt but ye are the people, and wisedome shall die with you.

³ But I haue vnderstanding as well as you, I am not inferiour to you: yea, who knoweth not such things as these?

⁴ I am as one mocked of his neighbour, who calleth vpon God, and he answereth him: the iust vpright man is laughed to scorne.

⁵ He that is ready to slippe with his feet, is as a lamp despised in the thought of him that is at ease.

⁶ The tabernacles of robbers prosper, and they that prouoke God are secure, into whose hand God bringeth abundantly.

⁷ But aske now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the foules of the aire, and they shall tell thee.

⁸ Or speake to the earth, and it shall teach thee; and the fishes of the sea shall declare vnto thee.

⁹ Who knoweth not in all these, that the hand of the Lord hath wrought this?

¹⁰ In whose hand is the soule of euery liuing thing, and the breath of all mankinde.

¹¹ Doeth not the eare trie wordes? and the mouth taste his meate?

¹² With the ancient is wisedome, and in length of dayes, vnderstanding.

¹³ With him is wisedome & strength, he hath counsell and vnderstanding.

¹⁴ Behold, he breaketh downe, and it cannot be built againe: hee shutteth vp a man, and there can be no opening.

¹⁵ Behold, hee withholdeth the waters, and they drie vp: also hee sendeth them out, and they ouerturne the earth.

¹⁶ With him is strength & wisedome: the deceiued, and the deceiuer, are his.

¹⁷ He leadeth counsellers away spoiled, and maketh the Iudges fooles.

¹⁸ He looseth the bond of kings, and girdeth their loines with a girdle.

¹⁹ He leadeth Princes away spoiled, and ouerthroweth the mightie.

²⁰ He remooueth away the speech of the trustie, and taketh away the vnderstanding of the aged.

²¹ He powreth contempt vpon princes, and weakeneth the strength of the mightie.

²² Hee discouereth deepe things out of darkenesse, and bringeth out to light the shadow of death.

²³ He increaseth the nations, and destroyeth them: hee inlargeth the nations, and straiteneth them againe.

²⁴ He taketh away the heart of the chiefe of the people of the earth, and causeth them to wander in a wildernes where there is no way.

²⁵ They grope in the darke without light, and hee maketh them to stagger like a drunken man.
