Job 4:12-21

Wycliffe(i) 12 Certis an hid word was seid to me, and myn eere took as theueli the veynes of priuy noise therof. 13 In the hidousnesse of `nyytis siyt, whanne heuy sleep is wont to occupie men, 14 drede and tremblyng helde me; and alle my boonys weren aferd. 15 And whanne the spirit `yede in my presence, the heiris of `my fleisch hadden hidousnesse. 16 Oon stood, whos chere Y knewe not, an ymage bifor myn iyen; and Y herde a vois as of softe wynd. 17 Whether a man schal be maad iust in comparisoun of God? ethir whethir a man schal be clennere than his Makere? 18 Lo! thei that seruen hym ben not stidefast; and he findith schrewidnesse in hise aungels. 19 Hou myche more thei that dwellen in housis of cley, that han an ertheli foundement, schulen be wastyd as of a mouyte. 20 Fro morewtid til to euentid thei schulen be kit doun; and for no man vndurstondith, thei schulen perische with outen ende. 21 Sotheli thei, that ben residue, schulen be takun awei; thei schulen die, and not in wisdom.
