¹¹ I became a reprofe among al mine enemies, but especially among my neighbours: and they of mine acquaintaunce were afraide of me, and they that dyd see me without, conueyed them selues quickly fro me

¹¹ My louers and my neygbours dyd stande on the other syde lokyng vpon my plague: and my kinsmen stoode a farre of

²⁰ (69:19) Reproofe hath broke my heart a peeces, I am full of heauinesse: I loked for some to haue pitie on me, but there was none, and for some that shoulde comfort me, but I coulde fynde none

¹⁸ (88:17) Thou hast put a way farre from me my frende and neighbour: [thou hast hid] mine acquaintaunce out of sight

⁵⁶ But all this is done, that the scriptures of the prophetes myght be fulfylled. Then all the disciples forsoke him, and fledde

¹⁶ At my first aunsweryng, no man assisted me, but all forsoke me, [I pray God] yt it may not be layde to their charges

²³ And the counsel of Ahithophel whiche he counseled in those dayes, was as a man had asked counsel at the oracle of God: euen so was all the counsel of Ahithophel, both with Dauid and with Absalom

⁵ Let no man beleeue his friende, nor put his confidence in his brother: kepe the doore of thy mouth from her that lyeth in thy bosome ⁶ For the sonne dishonoreth his father, the daughter riseth against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in lawe: and a mans foes are euen they of his owne housholde

²¹ The brother shall delyuer vp the brother to death, and the father the sonne, & the chyldren shall ryse agaynst their fathers, and mothers, and shall put them to death

¹⁸ I speake not of you all. I knowe whom I haue chosen. But that the scripture may be fulfylled: He that eateth bread with me, hath lyft vp his heele agaynst me

³¹ Dyd not the men of myne owne housholde say, Who shall let vs to haue our belly full of his fleshe ³² The straunger dyd not lodge in the streete, but I opened my doores vnto him that went by the way

⁹ Then sayd his wyfe vnto him: Doest thou continue yet in thy perfectnesse? curse God, and dye ¹⁰ But he sayde vnto her, Thou speakest like a foolish woman: shal we receaue good at the hande of God, and not receaue euyll? In all these thinges did not Iob sinne with his lippes

²³ And he went vp from thence vnto Bethel: And as he was going vp the way, there came litle children out of the citie, and mocked him, & saide vnto him: Go vp thou balde head, go vp thou balde head

⁵ And the people shall eche one of them violently oppresse another, and euery one agaynst his neyghbour: The boy shall presume agaynst the elder, and the person of lowe degree agaynst the honorable

¹⁴ He that is in tribulation, ought to be comforted of his neyghbour: but the feare of the almightie is cleane away ¹⁵ Myne owne brethren passe ouer by me as the water brooke, & as the ouerflowing of waters, whiche do hastly go away

²⁰ He layde his handes vpon such as be at peace with him: and he brake his couenaunt

⁴ For the loue that I bare vnto them, they are become mine aduersaries: but I geue my selfe vnto prayer ⁵ Thus haue they rewarded me euyll for good: and hatred for my good wyll

⁴⁸ But Iesus sayde vnto hym: Iudas, betrayest thou the sonne of man with a kisse

⁴ And Satan aunswered the Lord, and sayd, Skinne for skinne, yea a man wil geue al that euer he hath for his life ⁵ But lay thyne hande nowe vpon hym, and touch [once] his bone and his fleshe, and he shall curse thee to thy face ⁶ And the Lord sayde vnto Satan: Lo, he is in thyne hand, but saue his lyfe

⁵ My fleshe is clothed with wormes and dust of the earth: my skinne is withered and become horrible

³⁰ My skinne vpon me is [turned] to blacke, and my bones are brent with heate

¹⁹ He chasteneth hym with sickenesse vpon his bedde, he layeth sore punishement vpon his bones ²⁰ So that his lyfe may away with no bread, and his soule abhorreth to eate any dayntie meate ²¹ In so much that his body is cleane consumed away, and his bones appeare which before were not seene ²² His soule draweth vnto the graue, and his lyfe to death

¹⁴ I am as [it were] into water resolued, and all my bones are out of ioynt: my heart also is like waxe melted in the middest of my bowels ¹⁵ My strength is dried vp like a potsheard, & my tongue cleaueth to my gummes: and thou hast brought me into the dust of death ¹⁶ (22:16a) For dogges are come about me, the assemble of the wicked lay siege agaynst me: they haue pearced my handes and my feete ¹⁷ (22:16b) I may tell all my bones. (22:17a) They stande staring & gasing vpon me

³ There is no helath in my flesh through thy displeasure: neither is there any rest in my bones by reason of my sinne

³ For my dayes are consumed away like smoke: and my bones are burnt vp as though they were a firebrande

⁵ Through the noyse of my gronyng: my bones wyll scase cleaue to my fleshe

⁴ My flesh and my skinne hath he made olde, and my bones hath he bruised

⁸ But nowe their faces be very blacke, insomuche that thou shouldest not knowe them in the streetes: their skinne cleaueth to their bones, it is withered and become like a drye stocke

¹⁰ Our skinne is as it had ben made blacke in an ouen, for very sore hunger

¹¹ But laye thyne hand now vpon him, and touche all that he hath, and he shall curse thee to thy face

⁵ But lay thyne hande nowe vpon hym, and touch [once] his bone and his fleshe, and he shall curse thee to thy face

¹⁰ But he sayde vnto her, Thou speakest like a foolish woman: shal we receaue good at the hande of God, and not receaue euyll? In all these thinges did not Iob sinne with his lippes

⁴ For the arrowes of the almightie are vpon me, the poyson therof hath drunke vp my spirite, and the terrible feares of God are set against me

¹⁴ He that is in tribulation, ought to be comforted of his neyghbour: but the feare of the almightie is cleane away

² For thyne arrowes sticke fast in me: and thy hande presseth me sore

³ And they eate also the fleshe of my people, & flay of their skinne from them: and they breake their bones, and chop them in peeces as for the pot, and as fleshe within the cauldron

³⁵ O that I had one which woulde heare me: beholde my signe in the whiche the almightie shal aunswere for me, though he that is my contrarie partie hath written a booke against me

¹ Moreouer the Lorde sayde vnto me, Take thee a great roule, and wryte in it as men do with a pen: make hastie speede to rob, and haste to the spoyle

⁸ Nowe therefore go thy way, and write this before them in a table, and note it in a booke: that it may finally remaine and be kept styll for euer

¹¹ After the worke of a stone grauer and of him that graueth signettes, shalt thou graue the two stones, with the names of the children of Israel, and shalt make them to be set in ouches of golde ¹² And thou shalt put the two stones vpon the two shoulders of the ephod [that they may be] stones of remembraunce vnto the children of Israel: and Aaron shal beare their names before the Lord vpon his two shoulders for a remembraunce

²¹ And the stones shalbe grauen, as signettes be grauen with the names of the children of Israel, euen with twelue names, euery one with his name accordyng to the twelue tribes

¹⁶ And the same tables were written in both the leaues, [euen] on the one side, & on the other, were they written: And these tables were the worke of God, and the writing was the writing of God, grauen in the tables

² And in that day when you shall passe ouer Iordane vnto the lande whiche the Lord thy God geueth thee, thou shalt set thee vp great stones, and plaster them with plaster ³ And wryte vpon them all the wordes of this lawe when thou art come ouer, because thou art come into the lande whiche the Lord thy God geueth thee, a lande that floweth with mylke and honie, as the Lorde God of thy fathers hath promised thee

⁸ And thou shalt wryte vpon the stones all the wordes of this lawe, manifestly and well

¹ Your sinne [O ye of the tribe of Iuda] is written in the table of your heartes, and grauen so vpon the edges of your aulters with a penne of iron, and with an Adamant clawe

¹⁵ I wyll also put enmitie betweene thee & the woman, betweene thy seede and her seede: and it shall treade downe thy head, and thou shalt treade vpon his heele

¹⁸ And in thy seede shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because thou hast hearde my voyce

¹⁹ For lo, my witnesse is in heauen, and he that knoweth me, is in the height

²³ Now yf there be a messenger, one among a thousande, sent for to speake vnto man, and to shew him the right way ²⁴ Then the Lord is mercifull vnto him, and sayth, He shalbe deliuered, that he fall not downe to the graue: for I am sufficiently reconciled

¹⁴ (19:13) Let the wordes of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight O God: my strength and my redeemer

³⁵ Neuerthelesse they dyd but flatter him with their mouth: and they made hym a lye with their tongue

¹¹ For their redeemer is mightie, euen he shall defend their cause against thee

¹⁴ Thus saith the Lorde the holy one of Israel your redeemer: for your sake I haue sent to Babylo, & brought it down: al they are fugitiue with the Chaldees, whose sorowfull crie is in their shippes

⁵ For he that made thee shalbe thy Lorde and husbande (whose name is the Lord of hoastes) and thy redeemer shalbe euen the holy one of Israel, the Lorde of the whole worlde

²⁰ But vnto Sion there shall come a redeemer, and vnto them in Iacob that turne from wickednesse, saith the Lord ²¹ I wyll make this couenaunt with them (saith the Lord:) My spirite that is vpon thee, and the wordes whiche I haue put in thy mouth, shall neuer go out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy childers chyldren, from this time foorth for euermore, worlde without ende, saith the Lorde

³⁴ But their auenger and redeemer is mightie, whose name is the Lorde of hoastes, he shall maynteyne their cause, he shal make the lande shake, and iudge them that dwell therin, [one with another

²² Neither iudgeth the father any man: but hath committed all iudgement vnto the sonne ²³ Because that all men shoulde honour the sonne, euen as they honour the father. He that honoureth not the sonne, the same honoureth not ye father which hath sent hym ²⁴ Ueryly veryly I say vnto you, he that heareth my worde, and beleueth on him that sent me, hath euerlastyng lyfe, and shall not come into dampnation, but is escaped from death vnto lyfe ²⁵ Ueryly veryly I saye vnto you, the houre shall come, and nowe is, when the dead shall heare the voyce of the sonne of God: And they that heare, shall lyue ²⁶ For as the father hath lyfe in hym selfe: so lykewyse hath he geuen to the sonne, to haue lyfe in hym selfe ²⁷ And hath geuen hym power also to iudge, because he is the sonne of man ²⁸ Marueyle not at this: For the houre shall come, in the whiche all that are in the graues shall heare his voyce ²⁹ And shall come foorth, they that haue done good, vnto the resurrection of lyfe, and they that haue done euyll, vnto the resurrection of dampnation

⁷ In whom we haue redemption through his blood, the forgeuenesse of sinnes, accordyng to the rychesse of his grace

¹⁴ Enoch the seuenth from Adam, prophesied before of such, saying: Beholde, the Lorde shall come with thousandes of saintes

⁹ Wherfore my heart is glad: my glory reioyceth, my fleshe also shall rest in a securitie

¹¹ Thou wylt cause me to knowe the path of lyfe: in thy presence is the fulnesse of ioy, and at thy right hand there be pleasures for euermore

¹⁵ But as for me, I will beholde thy face in ryghteousnesse: I shalbe satisfied when I awake vp after thy lykenesse

⁸ Blessed (are) the pure in heart: for they shall see God

¹² Nowe we see in a glasse, euen in a darke speakyng: but then [shall we see] face to face. Nowe I knowe vnperfectly: but then shall I knowe euen as I am knowen

⁵³ For this corruptible, must put on incorruption, and this mortall [must] put on immortalitie

²¹ Who shall chaunge our vyle body, that it may be fashioned lyke vnto his glorious body, according to the working wherby he is able to subdue all thynges vnto hym selfe

² Dearely beloued, nowe are we the sonnes of God, and yet it doth not appeare what we shalbe: But we knowe that when he shall appeare, we shalbe lyke hym, for we shall see hym as he is

⁷ Beholde, he commeth with cloudes, and all eyes shall see hym, and they also which pearsed hym: And all kinredes of the earth shall wayle before hym. Euen so. Amen

¹⁷ I shall see him, but not nowe, I shall beholde him, but not nigh: There shall come a starre of Iacob, and ryse a scepter of Israel, & shall smyte the coastes of Moab, and vndermine all the chyldren of Seth

²⁶ My fleshe and my heart fayleth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for euer

¹⁹ Thy dead men shall liue, euen as my body shall they rise againe: Awake and sing ye that dwell in dust, for thy deawe is euen as the deawe of hearbes, and the earth shall cast out them that be vnder her

¹³ And all they of Israel shall mourne for him, and burie him: For he onely of Ieroboam shal come to the sepulchre, because in him there is found goodnesse toward the Lord God of Israel in the house of Ieroboam

²² Why do ye persecute me as God [doth] and are not satisfied with my fleshe

⁷ Wyll you speake wickedlie for gods [defence] and talke deceitfully for his [cause? ⁸ Wyll ye accept the person of him? or wyll ye contende for God ⁹ Shall that helpe you when he calleth you to reckening? For as one man mocketh an other, so do ye mocke him ¹⁰ He shall punishe you, and reproue you, if ye do secretly accept any person ¹¹ Shall not his excellencie make you afrayde? Shall not his terrible feare fall vpon you

²² He beleueth neuer to be deliuered out of darknesse: for the sworde is alwayes before his eyes

⁴ Is he afrayde to reproue thee, and to step foorth with thee into iudgement

⁵ Therefore the vngodly shall not [be able to] stande in the iudgement: neither the sinners in the congregation of the righteous

⁷ But God wyll sit for euer: he hath prepared his throne for iudgement

¹⁰ (58:9) The righteous wyll reioyce when he seeth the vengeaunce: he wyll washe his foote steppes in the blood of the vngodly ¹¹ (58:10) And euery man shall say, veryly there is a rewarde for the righteous: doubtlesse there is a God that iudgeth in the earth

⁹ Be glad then (O thou young man) in thy youth, and let thy heart be merie in thy young dayes, folowe the wayes of thyne owne heart, and the lust of thyne eyes, but be thou sure that God shall bryng thee into iudgement for all these thinges

¹⁴ For God shall iudge all workes and secrete thinges, whether they be good or euyll

¹ Iudge not, that ye be not iudged ² For with what iudgement ye iudge, ye shalbe iudged: And with what measure ye meate, it shalbe measured to you agayne

¹ Let euery soule be subiect vnto the hyer powers: For there is no power but of god. The powers that be, are ordeyned of God ² Whosoeuer therfore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinaunce of God: And they that resist, shall receaue to the selues dampnation ³ For rulers are not fearefull to good workes, but to the euyll. Wylt thou not feare the power? Do well, and thou shalt haue prayse of the same ⁴ For he is the minister of God for thy wealth. But yf thou do euyll, feare: For he beareth not the sworde in vayne, for he is the minister of God, reuenger of wrath on hym that doth euyll

¹¹ Backbite not one another brethren. He that backbiteth his brother, and he that iudgeth his brother, backbiteth ye lawe, and iudgeth the lawe: But and yf thou iudge the lawe, thou art not an obseruer of the lawe, but a iudge ¹² There is one lawe geuer, which is able to saue and to destroy. What art thou that iudgest another
