2 till where? to set: make [emph?] snare to/for speech to understand and after to speak: speak
`Til to what ende schalt thou booste with wordis? Vndurstonde thou first, and so speke we.
3 why? to devise: think like/as animal to defile in/on/with eye: seeing your
Whi ben we arettid as beestis, and han we be foule bifor thee?
4 to tear soul: myself his in/on/with face: anger his because you to leave: forsake land: country/planet and to proceed rock from place his
What leesist thou thi soule in thi woodnes? Whether the erthe schal be forsakun `for thee, and hard stoonys schulen be borun ouer fro her place?
5 also light wicked to put out and not to shine flame fire his
Whethir the liyt of a wickid man schal not be quenchid; and the flawme of his fier schal not schyne?
6 light to darken in/on/with tent his and lamp his upon him to put out
Liyt schal wexe derke in his tabernacle; and the lanterne, which is on hym, schal be quenchid.
7 be distressed step strength his and to throw him counsel his
The steppis of his vertu schulen be maad streit; and his counsel schal caste hym doun.
8 for to send: depart in/on/with net in/on/with foot his and upon latticework to go: walk
For he hath sent hise feet in to a net; and he goith in the meschis therof.
9 to grasp in/on/with heel snare to strengthen: hold upon him snare
His foot schal be holdun with a snare; and thirst schal brenne out ayens hym.
10 to hide in/on/with land: soil cord his and snare his upon path
The foot trappe of hym is hid in the erthe, and his snare on the path.
11 around: side to terrify him terror and to scatter him to/for foot his
Dredis schulen make hym aferd on ech side, and schulen biwlappe hise feet.
12 to be hungry strength his and calamity to establish: prepare to/for stumbling his
His strengthe be maad feble bi hungur; and pouert asaile hise ribbis.
13 to eat alone: pole skin his to eat alone: pole his firstborn death
Deuoure it the fairnesse of his skyn; the firste gendrid deth waste hise armes.
14 to tear from tent his confidence his and to march him to/for king terror
His trist be takun awei fro his tabernacle; and perischyng, as a kyng, aboue trede on hym.
15 to dwell in/on/with tent his from without to/for him to scatter upon pasture his brimstone
The felowis of hym that is not, dwelle in his tabernacle; brymston be spreynt in his tabernacle.
16 from underneath: under root his to wither and from above to languish foliage his
The rootis of hym be maad drie bynethe; sotheli his ripe corn be al to-brokun aboue.
17 memorial his to perish from land: country/planet and not name to/for him upon face: surface outside
His mynde perische fro the erthe; and his name be not maad solempne in stretis.
18 to thrust him from light to(wards) darkness and from world to wander him
He schal put hym out fro `liyt in to derknessis; and he schal bere hym ouer fro the world.
19 not offspring to/for him and not progeny in/on/with people his and nothing survivor in/on/with sojourning his
Nethir his seed nether kynrede schal be in his puple, nether ony relifs in hise cuntreis.
20 upon day: today his be desolate: appalled last and eastern to grasp shuddering
The laste men schulen wondre in hise daies; and hidousnesse schal asaile the firste men.
21 surely these tabernacle unjust and this place not to know God
Therfor these ben the tabernaclis of a wickid man; and this is the place of hym, that knowith not God.
