Wycliffe - Job - 17

17:1  Mi spirit schal be maad feble; my daies schulen be maad schort, and oneli the sepulcre is left to me.

17:2  Y have not synned, and myn iye dwellith in bittirnessis.

17:3  Lord, delyuere thou me, and sette thou me bisidis thee; and the hond of ech fiyte ayens me.

17:4  Thou hast maad the herte of hem fer fro doctryn, `ethir knowyng of treuthe; therfor thei schulen not be enhaunsid.

17:5  He bihetith prey to felowis, and the iyen of hise sones schulen faile.

17:6  He hath set as in to a prouerbe of the comyn puple, and his saumple bifor hem.

17:7  Myn `iye dasewide at indignacioun; and my membris ben dryuun as in to nouyt.

17:8  Iust men schulen wondre on this thing; and an innocent schal be reisid ayens an ypocrite.

17:9  And a iust man schal holde his weie, and he schal adde strengthe to clene hondis.

17:10  Therfor alle `ye be conuertid, and come ye; and Y schal not fynde in you ony wiys man.

17:11  My daies ben passid; my thouytis ben scaterid, turmentynge myn herte.

17:12  Tho han turned the nyyt `in to day; and eft aftir derknessis hope liyt.

17:13  If Y `susteyne, ether suffre pacientli, helle is myn hous; and Y haue arayede my bed in derknessis.

17:14  Y seide to rot, Thou art my fadur; and to wormes, Ye ben my modir and my sister.

17:15  Therfor where is now myn abidyng? and who biholdith my pacience?

17:16  Alle my thingis schulen go doun in to deppeste helle; gessist thou, whether reste schal be to me, nameli there.
