욥기 11장 Coverdale Bible
- 1 Then answered Sophar the Naamathite, and sayde:
- 2 Shulde not he that maketh many wordes, be answered? Shulde he that bableth moch, be commended therin?
- 3 Shulde men geue eare vnto the only? Thou wilt laugh other men to scorne, & shal no body mocke the agayne?
- 4 Wilt thou saye vnto God: The thinge that I take in honde, is perfecte, & I am clene in thy sight?
- 5 O that God wolde speake, and open his lippes agaynst the,
- 6 that he might shewe the (out of his secrete wy?dome) how manyfolde his lawe is: then shuldest thou knowe, that God had forgotten the, because of thy synnes.
- 7 Wilt thou fynde out God with thy sekynge? wilt thou attayne to the perfectnesse of the Allmightie?
- 8 He is hyer the heaue, what wilt thou do? Deper the hell, how wilt thou then knowe him?
- 9 His length exceadeth the length of the earth, and his bredth ye bredth of the see.
- 10 Though he turne all thinges vpsyde downe, close them in, or thrust the together, who darre check him therfore?
- 11 For it is he, that knoweth the vanite of men: he seyth their wickednesse also, shulde he not then considre it?
- 12 A vayne body exalteth him self, and the sonne of man is like a wylde asses foale.
- 13 Yf thou haddest now a right herte, & liftest vp thine hondes towarde him:
- 14 yf thou woldest put awaye the wickednesse, which thou hast in honde, so that no vngodlynesse dwelt in thy house:
- 15 Then mightest thou lift vp thy face without shame, the shuldest thou be sure, and haue no nede to feare.
- 16 Then shuldest thou forget thy misery, and thynke nomore vpon it, then vpon the waters that runne by.
- 17 Then shulde thy life be as cleare as the noone daye, and sprynge forth as the mornynge.
- 18 Then mightest thou haue comforth, in the hope that thou hast: & slepe quyetly, when thou art buried.
- 19 Then shuldest thou take thy rest, and no ma to make the afrayed, yee many one shulde set moch by the.
- 20 As for the eyes of the vngodly, they shal be consumed, and not escape: their hope shalbe misery and sorow of mynde.
