Wycliffe - Job - 10

10:1  Yt anoieth my soule of my lijf; Y schal lete my speche ayens me, Y schal speke in the bitternesse of my soule.

10:2  Y schal seie to God, Nyle thou condempne me; schewe thou to me, whi thou demest me so.

10:3  Whether it semeth good to thee, if thou `falsli chalengist and oppressist me, the werk of thin hondis; and if thou helpist the counsel of wickid men?

10:4  Whethir fleischli iyen ben to thee, ethir, as a man seeth, also thou schalt se?

10:5  Whether thi daies ben as the daies of man, and `thi yeeris ben as mannus tymes;

10:6  that thou enquere my wickidnesse, and enserche my synne?

10:7  And wite, that Y haue do no `wickid thing; sithen no man is, that may delyuere fro thin hond?

10:8  Thin hondis han maad me, and han formed me al in cumpas; and thou castist me doun so sodeynli.

10:9  Y preye, haue thou mynde, that thou madist me as cley, and schalt brynge me ayen in to dust.

10:10  Whether thou hast not mylkid me as mylk, and hast cruddid me togidere as cheese?

10:11  Thou clothidist me with skyn and fleisch; thou hast ioyned me togidere with boonys and senewis.

10:12  Thou hast youe lijf and mercy to me, and thi visiting hath kept my spirit.

10:13  Thouy thou helist these thingis in thin herte, netheles Y woot, that thou hast mynde of alle thingis.

10:14  If Y dide synne, and thou sparidist me at an our; whi suffrist thou not me to be cleene of my wickidnesse?

10:15  And if Y was wickid, wo is to me; and if Y was iust, Y fillid with turment and wretchidnesse `schal not reise the heed.

10:16  And if Y reise `the heed for pride, thou schalt take me as a lionesse; and thou turnest ayen, and turmentist me wondirli.

10:17  Thou gaderist in store thi witnessis ayens me, and thou multipliest thin yre, `that is, veniaunce, ayens me; and peynes holden knyythod in me.

10:18  Whi hast thou led me out of the wombe? `And Y wolde, that Y were wastid, lest an iye `schulde se me.

10:19  That Y hadde be, as if Y were not, and `were translatid, ethir borun ouer, fro the wombe to the sepulcre.

10:20  Whether the fewnesse of my daies schal not be endid in schort? Therfor suffre thou me, that Y biweile `a litil my sorewe,

10:21  bifor that Y go, and turne not ayen, to the derk lond, and hilid with the derknesse of deth, to the lond of wrecchidnesse and of derknessis;

10:22  where is schadewe of deeth, and noon ordre, but euerlastynge hidousnesse dwellith.
