God

Thinkest thou this right, that thou hast said, I am more righteous then God?

If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him, yea, when thy sinnes be many, what doest thou vnto him?

If thou be righteous, what giuest thou vnto him? or what receiueth he at thine hand?

But none saieth, Where is God that made me, which giueth songs in the nyght?

Surely God will not heare vanitie, neyther will the Almightie regard it.

Although thou sayest to God, Thou wilt not regard it, yet iudgement is before him: trust thou in him.

But nowe because his anger hath not visited, nor called to count the euill with great extremitie,

Suffer me a litle, and I will instruct thee: for I haue yet to speake on Gods behalfe.

For truely my wordes shall not be false, and he that is perfect in knowledge, speaketh with thee.

Behold, the mighty God casteth away none that is mighty and valiant of courage.

He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous, but they are with Kings in ye throne, where he placeth them for euer: thus they are exalted.

Then will he shewe them their worke and their sinnes, because they haue bene proude.

If they obey and serue him, they shall end their dayes in prosperity, and their yeres in pleasures.

But the hypocrites of heart increase the wrath: for they call not when he bindeth them.

Euen so woulde he haue taken thee out of the streight place into a broade place and not shut vp beneath: and that which resteth vpon thy table, had bene full of fat.

For Gods wrath is, least hee should take that away in thine abundance: for no multitude of giftes can deliuer thee.

Wil he regard thy riches? he regardeth not golde, nor all them that excel in strength.

Beholde, God exalteth by his power: what teacher is like him?

Who hath appointed to him his way? or who can say, Thou hast done wickedly?

Remember that thou magnifie his worke, which men behold.

Beholde, God is excellent, and we knowe him not, neither can the nomber of his yeres bee searched out.

When he restraineth the droppes of water, the rayne powreth down by the vapour thereof,

Who can know the diuisions of ye clouds and the thunders of his tabernacle?

Beholde, he spreadeth his light vpon it, and couereth the bottome of the sea.

For thereby hee iudgeth the people, and giueth meate abundantly.
