Wycliffe - Job - 27

27:1  Also Joob addide, takynge his parable, and seide,

27:2  God lyueth, that hath take awey my doom, and Almyyti God, that hath brouyt my soule to bitternesse.

27:3  For as long as breeth is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nose thirlis,

27:4  my lippis schulen not speke wickidnesse, nether my tunge schal thenke a leesyng.

27:5  Fer be it fro me, that Y deme you iust; til Y faile, Y schal not go awei fro myn innocence.

27:6  Y schal not forsake my iustifiyng, which Y bigan to holde; for myn herte repreueth me not in al my lijf.

27:7  As my wickid enemy doth; myn aduersarie is as wickid.

27:8  For what is the hope of an ypocrite, if he rauyschith gredili, and God delyuerith not his soule?

27:9  Whether God schal here the cry of hym, whanne angwisch schal come on hym?

27:10  ether whether he may delite in Almyyti God, and inwardli clepe God in al tyme?

27:11  Y schal teche you bi the hond of God, what thingis Almyyti God hath; and Y schal not hide.

27:12  Lo! alle ye knowen, and what speken ye veyn thingis with out cause?

27:13  This is the part of a wickid man anentis God, and the eritage of violent men, ether rauenours, whiche thei schulen take of Almyyti God.

27:14  If hise children ben multiplied, thei schulen be slayn in swerd; and hise sones sones schulen not be fillid with breed.

27:15  Thei, that ben residue of hym, schulen be biried in perischyng; and the widewis of hym schulen not wepe.

27:16  If he gaderith togidere siluer as erthe, and makith redi clothis as cley;

27:17  sotheli he made redi, but a iust man schal be clothid in tho, and an innocent man schal departe the siluer.

27:18  As a mouyte he hath bildid his hous, and as a kepere he made a schadewyng place.

27:19  A riche man, whanne he schal die, schal bere no thing with hym; he schal opene hise iyen, and he schal fynde no thing.

27:20  Pouert as water schal take hym; and tempeste schal oppresse hym in the nyyt.

27:21  Brennynge wynd schal take hym, and schal do awei; and as a whirlewynd it schal rauysche hym fro his place.

27:22  He schal sende out turmentis on hym, and schal not spare; he fleynge schal `fle fro his hond.

27:23  He schal streyne hise hondis on him, and he schal hisse on hym, and schal biholde his place.
