1 Iob reproueth his friends of vnmercifulnesse. 7 He sheweth the pitifulnesse of his case. 17 He maintaineth his innocencie.

1Then Iob answered, and said,

2I haue heard many such things: miserable comforters are ye all.2

3Shall vaine words haue an ende? or what emboldeneth thee, that thou answerest?3

4I also could speake as yee doe: if your soule were in my soules stead, I could heape vp words against you, and shake mine head at you.

7But now he hath made me weary: thou hast made desolate al my companie.

8And thou hast filled mee with wrinckles, which is a witnesse against me: and my leannesse rising vp in me, beareth witnesse to my face.

9He teareth me in his wrath, who hateth me: he gnasheth vpon me with his teeth; mine enemy sharpeneth his eyes vpon me.

10They haue gaped vpon me with their mouth, they haue smitten me vpon the cheeke reprochfully, they haue gathered themselues together against mee.

17Not for any iniustice in mine hands: also my prayer is pure.

18O earth couer not thou my blood, and let my cry haue no place.

19Also now, behold my witnesse is in heauen, and my record is on high.19

20My friends scorne me: but mine eye powreth out teares vnto God.20

21O that one might plead for a man with God, as a man pleadeth for his neighbour.21

22When a few yeeres are come, then I shall goe the way whence I shall not returne.22
