Job 35
1 Therfor Helyu spak eft these thingis, Whethir thi thouyt semeth euene,
After this, Eliu again spoke in this way:
2 `ether riytful, to thee, that thou schuldist seie, Y am riytfulere than God?
Does it seem right to you in your thoughts, that you should say, “I am more just than God?”
3 For thou seidist, That, that is good, plesith not thee; ethir what profitith it to thee, if Y do synne?
For you said, “Having done what is right does not please you,” and, “How will it benefit you, if I sin?”
4 Therfor Y schal answere to thi wordis, and to thi frendis with thee.
And so, I will respond to your words, and to your friends who are with you.
5 Se thou, and biholde heuene, and biholde thou the eir, that God is hiyere than thou.
Look up towards heaven and consider; also, think about the sky, which is higher than you.
6 If thou synnest `ayens hym, what schalt thou anoye hym? and if thi wickidnessis ben multiplied, what schalt thou do ayens hym?
If you sin, how will it hurt him? And if your iniquities are multiplied, what will you do against him?
7 Certis if thou doist iustli, what schalt thou yyue to hym; ether what schal he take of thin hond?
Furthermore, if you act justly, what will you give him, or what will he receive from your hand?
8 Thi wickidnesse schal anoie a man, which is lijk thee; and thi riytfulnesse schal helpe the sone of a man.
Your impiety may hurt a man who is like you, though your justice may help the son of the man.
9 Thei schulen cry for the multitude of fals chalengeris, and thei schulen weile for the violence of the arm of tirauntis.
Because of the multitude of false accusers, they will cry out; and they will lament because of the strong arm of the tyrants.
10 And Joob seide not, Where is God, that made me, and that yaf songis in the nyyt?
Yet he has not said: “Where is God, who made me, who has given songs in the night,
11 Which God techith vs aboue the beestis of erthe, and he schal teche vs aboue the briddis of heuene.
who teaches us in addition to the beasts of the earth, and who educates us along with the birds of the air?”
12 There thei schulen crye, and God schal not here, for the pride of yuele men.
There they will cry, and he will not heed them, because of the arrogance of the wicked.
13 For God schal not here with out cause, and Almyyti God schal biholde the causis of ech man.
Therefore, God does not hear in vain, and the Almighty will look into each and every case.
14 Yhe, whanne thou seist, He biholdith not; be thou demed bifor hym, and abide thou hym.
And so, when you say, “He does not examine,” be judged before him, but wait for him.
15 For now he bryngith not in his strong veniaunce, nether vengith `greetli felonye.
For, at the present time, he does not bring forth his fury, nor does he punish sin exceedingly.
16 Therfor Joob openith his mouth in veyn, and multiplieth wordis with out kunnyng.
Therefore, Job has opened his mouth in vain and has multiplied words without knowledge.
