Job 20
1 Forsothe Sophar Naamathites answeride, and seide,
And he answered Zophar the Naamathite and he said.
2 Therfor my thouytis dyuerse comen oon aftir anothir; and the mynde is rauyischid in to dyuerse thingis.
Therefore disquieting thoughts my they make respond me and in order to agitate I in me.
3 Y schal here the techyng, bi which thou repreuest me; and the spirit of myn vndurstondyng schal answere me.
[the] correction of Insult my I have heard and a spirit from understanding my it answers me.
4 Y woot this fro the bigynnyng, sithen man was set on erthe,
¿ This do you know from antiquity from when put humankind on earth.
5 that the preisyng of wickid men is schort, and the ioie of an ypocrite is at the licnesse of a poynt.
That [the] cry of joy of wicked [people] [is] from near and [the] gladness of [the] godless [is] until a moment.
6 Thouy his pride `stieth in to heuene, and his heed touchith the cloudis,
Though it will go up to the heavens loftiness his and head his to the cloud[s] it will reach.
7 he schal be lost in the ende, as a dunghil; and, thei that sien hym, schulen seie, Where is he?
Like own dung his to perpetuity he will perish [those who] saw him they will say where [is]? he.
8 As a dreem fleynge awei he schal not be foundun; he schal passe as `a nyytis siyt.
Like a dream he will fly away and not people will find him and he may be chased away like a vision of [the] night.
9 The iye that siy hym schal not se; and his place schal no more biholde him.
An eye it caught sight of him and not it will repeat and not again it will see him place his.
10 Hise sones schulen be `al to-brokun with nedynesse; and hise hondis schulen yelde to hym his sorewe.
Children his they will seek [the] favor of poor [people] and own hands his they will give back wealth his.
11 Hise boonys schulen be fillid with the vices of his yong wexynge age; and schulen slepe with hym in dust.
Bones his they were full (youthful vigor his *Q(K)*) and with him on [the] dust it will lie down.
12 For whanne yuel was swete in his mouth, he hidde it vndur his tunge.
Though it is sweet in mouth his evil he hides it under tongue his.
13 He schal spare it, and schal not forsake it; and schal hide in his throte.
He spares it and not he lets loose it and he withholds it in [the] midst of mouth his.
14 His breed in his wombe schal be turned in to galle of snakis withynne.
Food his in inward parts his it is changed venom of cobras in inward part[s] his.
15 He schal spue out the richessis, whiche he deuouride; and God schal drawe tho ritchessis out of his wombe.
Wealth he swallows and he has vomited up it from belly his he drives out it God.
16 He schal souke the heed of snakis; and the tunge of an addre schal sle hym.
[the] poison of Cobras he sucks it slays him [the] tongue of a viper.
17 Se he not the stremys of the flood of the stronde, of hony, and of botere.
May not he look on streams rivers of torrents of honey and curd.
18 He schal suffre peyne for alle thingis whiche he hath do, netheles he schal not be wastid; aftir the multitude of his fyndyngis, so and `he schal suffre.
[he is] restoring [the] gain And not he swallows [it] according to [the] wealth of trading his not he will rejoice.
19 For he brake, and made nakid the hows of a pore man; he rauyschide, and bildide it not.
For he has crushed he has neglected poor [people] a house he has seized and not he had built it.
20 And his wombe was not fillid; and whanne he hath that, that he couetide, he may not holde in possessioun.
For - not he knows quiet in belly his among desired [things] his not he delivers.
21 `No thing lefte of his mete; and therfor no thing schal dwelle of his goodis.
There not [is] a survivor to devour he there-fore not it will endure prosperity his.
22 Whanne he is fillid, he schal be maad streit; he schal `be hoot, and alle sorewe schal falle in on hym.
When is full sufficiency his it will be distress to him every hand of a sufferer it will come to him.
23 `Y wolde, that his wombe be fillid, that he sende out in to hym the ire of his strong veniaunce, and reyne his batel on hym.
May he be - [about] to fill belly his he will send on him [the] burning of anger his and he will send rain on him in bowel[s] his.
24 He schal fle yrun armuris, and he schal falle in to a brasun boowe.
He will flee from a weapon of iron it will cut through him a bow of bronze.
25 Led out, and goynge out `of his schethe, and schynynge, `ether smytinge with leit, `in to his bittirnesse; orrible fendis schulen go, and schulen come on hym.
He will draw [it] out and it came out from [the] back and lightning from gall-bladder his it will come on him terrors.
26 Alle derknessis ben hid in hise priuytees; fier, which is not teendid, schal deuoure hym; he schal be turmentid left in his tabernacle.
All darkness [is] hidden for treasured [things] his it will consume him fire [which] not it has been fanned it will be evil a survivor in tent his.
27 Heuenes schulen schewe his wickidnesse; and erthe schal rise togidere ayens hym.
They will reveal [the] heavens iniquity his and [the] earth [will] rise up to him.
28 The seed of his hows schal be opyn; it schal be drawun doun in the dai of the strong veniaunce of the Lord.
It will depart [the] produce of house his torrents on [the] day of anger his.
29 This is the part of a wickid man, `which part is youun of God, and the eritage of hise wordis of the Lord.
This - [is the] portion of a person wicked from God and [the] inheritance of decree his from God.
