Why does it have strange spelling?
CHAP. XIII.
1 Iob reprooueth his friends of partialitie. 14 He professeth his confidence in God: 20 and entreateth to knowe his owne sinnes, and Gods purpose in afflicting him.
1 Loe, mine eye hath seene all this, mine eare hath heard and vnderstood it.
2 What yee know, the same doe I know also, I am not inferiour vnto you.
3 Surely I would speake to the Almighty, & I desire to reason with God.
4 But ye are forgers of lies, yee are all Physicians of no value.
5 O that you would altogether hold your peace, & it should be your wisdome.
6 Heare now my reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips.
7 Wil you speake wickedly for God? and talke deceitfully for him?
8 Will ye accept his person? Will yee contend for God?
9 Is it good that hee should search you out? or as one man mocketh another, doe ye so mocke him?
10 He will surely reprooue you, if yee doe secretly accept persons.
11 Shall not his excellencie make you afraid? and his dread fall vpon you?
12 Your remembrances are like vnto ashes, your bodies to bodies of clay.
13 Hold your peace, let me alone that I may speake, and let come on me what will.13
14 Wherefore doe I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in mine hand?
15 Though hee slay mee, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintaine mine owne wayes before him.15
16 Hee also shall be my saluation: for an hypocrite shall not come before him.
17 Heare diligently my speach, and my declaration with your eares.
18 Behold now, I haue ordered my cause, I know that I shall be iustified.
19 Who is hee that will plead with me? for now if I hold my tongue, I shall giue vp the ghost.
20 Only doe not two things vnto me: then will I not hide my selfe from thee.
21 Withdrawe thine hand far from me: and let not thy dread make mee afraid.
22 Then call thou, and I will answere: or let me speake, and answere thou mee.
23 How many are mine iniquities and sinnes? make mee to knowe my transgression, and my sinne.
24 Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and holdest me for thine enemie?
25 Wilt thou breake a leafe driuen to and fro? and wilt thou pursue the drie stubble?
26 For thou writest bitter things against mee, and makest me to possesse the iniquities of my youth.26
27 Thou puttest my feete also in the stockes, and lookest narrowly vnto all my pathes; thou settest a print vpon the heeles of my feete.27
28 And hee, as a rotten thing consumeth, as a garment that is moth-eaten.
