Job 35

1 Elihu spake moreouer, and said,

Therfor Helyu spak eft these thingis, Whethir thi thouyt semeth euene,

2 Thinkest thou this right, that thou hast said, I am more righteous then God?

`ether riytful, to thee, that thou schuldist seie, Y am riytfulere than God?

3 For thou hast said, What profiteth it thee and what auaileth it me, to purge me from my sinne?

For thou seidist, That, that is good, plesith not thee; ethir what profitith it to thee, if Y do synne?

4 Therefore will I answere thee, and thy companions with thee.

Therfor Y schal answere to thi wordis, and to thi frendis with thee.

5 Looke vnto the heauen, and see and behold the cloudes which are hyer then thou.

Se thou, and biholde heuene, and biholde thou the eir, that God is hiyere than thou.

6 If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him, yea, when thy sinnes be many, what doest thou vnto him?

If thou synnest `ayens hym, what schalt thou anoye hym? and if thi wickidnessis ben multiplied, what schalt thou do ayens hym?

7 If thou be righteous, what giuest thou vnto him? or what receiueth he at thine hand?

Certis if thou doist iustli, what schalt thou yyue to hym; ether what schal he take of thin hond?

8 Thy wickednesse may hurt a man as thou art: and thy righteousnes may profite ye sonne of man.

Thi wickidnesse schal anoie a man, which is lijk thee; and thi riytfulnesse schal helpe the sone of a man.

9 They cause many that are oppressed, to crye, which crye out for ye violence of the mightie.

Thei schulen cry for the multitude of fals chalengeris, and thei schulen weile for the violence of the arm of tirauntis.

10 But none saieth, Where is God that made me, which giueth songs in the nyght?

And Joob seide not, Where is God, that made me, and that yaf songis in the nyyt?

11 Which teacheth vs more then the beastes of the earth, and giueth vs more wisdome then the foules of the heauen.

Which God techith vs aboue the beestis of erthe, and he schal teche vs aboue the briddis of heuene.

12 Then they crye because of the violence of the wicked, but he answereth not.

There thei schulen crye, and God schal not here, for the pride of yuele men.

13 Surely God will not heare vanitie, neyther will the Almightie regard it.

For God schal not here with out cause, and Almyyti God schal biholde the causis of ech man.

14 Although thou sayest to God, Thou wilt not regard it, yet iudgement is before him: trust thou in him.

Yhe, whanne thou seist, He biholdith not; be thou demed bifor hym, and abide thou hym.

15 But nowe because his anger hath not visited, nor called to count the euill with great extremitie,

For now he bryngith not in his strong veniaunce, nether vengith `greetli felonye.

16 Therfore Iob openeth his mouth in vaine, and multiplieth wordes without knowledge.

Therfor Joob openith his mouth in veyn, and multiplieth wordis with out kunnyng.
