Why does it have strange spelling?


CHAP. XXVII.

1 Iob protesteth his sincerity. 8 The Hypocrite is without hope. 11 The blessings, which the wicked haue, are turned into curses:

1 Moreouer Iob continued his parable, and sayd,1

2 As God liueth, who hath taken away my iudgment, and the Almighty, who hath vexed my soule;2

3 All the while my breath is in mee, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils;3

4 My lips shall not speake wickednesse, nor my tongue vtter deceit.

5 God forbid that I should iustifie you: till I die, I will not remoue my integritie from me.

6 My righteousnesse I hold fast, and will not let it goe: my heart shall not reproach me so long as I liue.6

7 Let mine enemie be as the wicked, and he that riseth vp against me, as the vnrighteous.

8 For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soule?8

9 Will God heare his cry, when trouble commeth vpon him?9

10 Will he delight himselfe in the Almightie? will hee alwayes call vpon God?

11 I will teach you by the hand of God: that which is with the Almightie, will I not conceale.11

12 Behold, all ye your selues haue seene it, why then are yee thus altogether vaine?

13 This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressours which they shall receiue of the Almightie.

14 If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword: and his offpring shall not be satisfied with bread.

15 Those that remaine of him shall bee buried in death: and his widowes shall not weepe.15

16 Though he heape vp siluer as the dust, and prepare rayment as the clay:

17 He may prepare it, but the iust shall put it on, and the innocent shall diuide the siluer.

18 He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth that the keeper maketh.

19 The rich man shall lie downe, but he shall not be gathered: he openeth his eyes, and he is not:

20 Terrours take hold on him as waters, a tempest stealeth him away in the night.20

21 The East winde carieth him away, and he departeth: and as a storme hurleth him out of his place.

22 For God shall cast vpon him, and not spare: hee would faine flee out of his hand.22

23 Men shall clap their handes at him, and shall hisse him out of his place.
