Job 35
1 Igitur Eliu hæc rursum locutus est:
Therfor Helyu spak eft these thingis, Whethir thi thouyt semeth euene,
2 [Numquid æqua tibi videtur tua cogitatio, ut diceres: Justior sum Deo?
`ether riytful, to thee, that thou schuldist seie, Y am riytfulere than God?
3 Dixisti enim: Non tibi placet quod rectum est: vel quid tibi proderit, si ego peccavero?
For thou seidist, That, that is good, plesith not thee; ethir what profitith it to thee, if Y do synne?
4 Itaque ego respondebo sermonibus tuis, et amicis tuis tecum.
Therfor Y schal answere to thi wordis, and to thi frendis with thee.
5 Suspice cælum, et intuere: et contemplare æthera quod altior te sit.
Se thou, and biholde heuene, and biholde thou the eir, that God is hiyere than thou.
6 Si peccaveris, quid ei nocebis? et si multiplicatæ fuerint iniquitates tuæ, quid facies contra eum?
If thou synnest `ayens hym, what schalt thou anoye hym? and if thi wickidnessis ben multiplied, what schalt thou do ayens hym?
7 Porro si juste egeris, quid donabis ei? aut quid de manu tua accipiet?
Certis if thou doist iustli, what schalt thou yyue to hym; ether what schal he take of thin hond?
8 Homini qui similis tui est, nocebit impietas tua: et filium hominis adjuvabit justitia tua.
Thi wickidnesse schal anoie a man, which is lijk thee; and thi riytfulnesse schal helpe the sone of a man.
9 Propter multitudinem calumniatorum clamabunt, et ejulabunt propter vim brachii tyrannorum.
Thei schulen cry for the multitude of fals chalengeris, and thei schulen weile for the violence of the arm of tirauntis.
10 Et non dixit: Ubi est Deus qui fecit me, qui dedit carmina in nocte;
And Joob seide not, Where is God, that made me, and that yaf songis in the nyyt?
11 qui docet nos super jumenta terræ, et super volucres cæli erudit nos?
Which God techith vs aboue the beestis of erthe, and he schal teche vs aboue the briddis of heuene.
12 Ibi clamabunt, et non exaudiet, propter superbiam malorum.
There thei schulen crye, and God schal not here, for the pride of yuele men.
13 Non ergo frustra audiet Deus, et Omnipotens causas singulorum intuebitur.
For God schal not here with out cause, and Almyyti God schal biholde the causis of ech man.
14 Etiam cum dixeris: Non considerat: judicare coram illo, et expecta eum.
Yhe, whanne thou seist, He biholdith not; be thou demed bifor hym, and abide thou hym.
15 Nunc enim non infert furorem suum, nec ulciscitur scelus valde.
For now he bryngith not in his strong veniaunce, nether vengith `greetli felonye.
16 Ergo Job frustra aperit os suum, et absque scientia verba multiplicat.]
Therfor Joob openith his mouth in veyn, and multiplieth wordis with out kunnyng.
