13:1  Lo! myn iye siy alle thingis, and myn eere herde; and Y vndurstood alle thingis.

13:2  Euene with youre kunnyng also Y kan, and Y am not lowere than ye.

13:3  But netheles Y schal speke to Almyyti God, and Y coueite to dispute with God;

13:4  and firste Y schewe you makeris of leesyng, and louyeris of weyward techyngis.

13:5  And `Y wolde that ye weren stille, that ye weren gessid to be wise men.

13:6  Therfor here ye my chastisyngis; and perseyue ye the doom of my lippis.

13:7  Whether God hath nede to youre leesyng, that ye speke gilis for hym?

13:8  Whether ye taken his face, and enforsen to deme for God?

13:9  Ethir it schal plese hym, fro whom no thing mai be hid? Whether he as a man schal be disseyued with youre falsnessis?

13:10  He schal repreue you; for ye taken his face in hiddlis.

13:11  Anoon as he schal stire hym, he schal disturble you; and his drede schal falle on you.

13:12  Youre mynde schal be comparisound to aische; and youre nollis schulen be dryuun in to clei.

13:13  Be ye stille a litil, that Y speke, what euer thing the mynde hath schewid to me.

13:14  Whi to-rende Y my fleischis with my teeth, and bere my lijf in myn hondis?

13:15  Yhe, thouy God sleeth me, Y schal hope in hym; netheles Y schal preue my weies in his siyt.

13:16  And he schal be my sauyour; for whi ech ypocrite schal not come in his siyt.

13:17  Here ye my word, and perseyue ye with eeris derke and harde figuratif spechis.

13:18  Yf Y schal be demed, Y woot that Y schal be foundun iust.

13:19  Who is he that is demed with me? Come he; whi am Y stille, and am wastid?

13:20  Do thou not to me twei thingis oneli; and thanne Y schal not be hid fro thi face.

13:21  Make thin hond fer fro me; and thi drede make not me aferd.

13:22  Clepe thou me, and Y schal answere thee; ethir certis Y schal speke, and thou schalt answere me.

13:23  Hou grete synnes and wickidnessis haue Y? Schewe thou to me my felonyes, and trespassis.

13:24  Whi hidist thou thi face, and demest me thin enemy?

13:25  Thou schewist thi myyt ayens a leef, which is rauyschid with the wynd; and thou pursuest drye stobil.

13:26  For thou writist bitternessis ayens me; and wolt waste me with the synnes of my yong wexynge age.

13:27  Thou hast set my foot in a stok, and thou hast kept alle my pathis; and thou hast biholde the steppis of my feet.

13:28  And Y schal be wastid as rot, and as a cloth, which is etun of a mouyte.
