Job 23

1 And he answered Job and he said.

Sotheli Joob answeride, and seide,

2 Also this day [the] rebellion of complaint my hand my it is heavy on groaning my.

Now also my word is in bitternesse, and the hond of my wounde is agreggid on my weilyng.

3 Who? will he give I knew and I will find him I will come to place his.

Who yyueth to me, that Y knowe, and fynde hym, and come `til to his trone?

4 Let me set in order before him a case and mouth my let me fill arguments.

Y schal sette doom bifor hym, and Y schal fille my mouth with blamyngis;

5 I want to know [the] words [which] he will answer me and I want to understand what? will he say to me.

that Y kunne the wordis, whiche he schal answere to me, and that Y vnderstonde, what he schal speke to me.

6 ¿ With greatness of power will he conduct a case with me not surely he he will put on me.

Y nyle, that he stryue with me bi greet strengthe, nether oppresse me with the heuynesse of his greetnesse.

7 There an upright [person] [will be] reasoning with him and I will deliver to perpetuity from judge my.

Sette he forth equite ayens me, and my doom come perfitli to victorie.

8 Here! forward I go and there not [is] he and backwards and not I perceive him.

If Y go to the eest, God apperith not; if Y go to the west, Y schal not vndurstonde hym; if Y go to the left side,

9 [the] left [side] When acts he and not I see [him] he turns [the] right [side] and not I see [him].

what schal Y do? Y schal not take hym; if Y turne me to the riyt side, Y schal not se hym.

10 That he knows [the] way with me he has tested me like gold I will come forth.

But he knowith my weie, and he schal preue me as gold, that passith thorouy fier.

11 On step his it has taken hold foot my way his I have kept and not I have turned aside.

My foot suede hise steppis; Y kepte his weie, and Y bowide not awey fro it.

12 [the] commandment of Lips his and not I have ceased more than portion my I have treasured up [the] words of mouth his.

Y yede not awei fro the comaundementis of hise lippis; and Y hidde in my bosum the wordis of his mouth.

13 And he [is] one and who? will he turn back him and [that which] self his it has desired and he has done.

For he is aloone, and no man may turne awei hise thouytis; and what euer thing he wolde, his wille dide this thing.

14 For he performs decree my and like them many [are] with him.

Whanne he hath fillid his wille in me, also many othere lijk thingis ben redi to hym.

15 There-fore of him I am terrified I consider and I may be in dread from him.

And therfor Y am disturblid of his face, and Y biholdynge hym am anguyschid for drede.

16 And God he has made faint heart my and [the] Almighty he has terrified me.

God hath maad neische myn herte, and Almyyti God hath disturblid me.

17 For not I have been destroyed from before darkness and from before me it covers gloom.

For Y perischide not for derknessis neiyynge; nethir myist hilide my face.
