God

When I made the cloudes as a couering thereof, and darkenesse as the swadeling bands thereof:

When I stablished my commandement vpon it, and set barres and doores,

Which I haue hid against the time of trouble, against the day of warre and battell?

Who provideth for the raven his food? when his young ones cry unto God, they wander for lack of meat.

They bow them selues: they bruise their yong and cast out their sorowes.

Which leaueth his egges in the earth, and maketh them hote in the dust,

Againe the Lord answered Iob out of the whirle winde, and said,

Girde vp now thy loynes like a man: I will demaunde of thee, and declare thou vnto me.

Wilt thou disanul my iudgement? or wilt thou condemne me, that thou mayst be iustified?

Or hast thou an arme like God? or doest thou thunder with a voyce like him?

Cast abroad the indignation of thy wrath, and beholde euery one that is proude, and abase him.

Looke on euery one that is arrogant, and bring him lowe: and destroy the wicked in their place.

Hide them in the dust together, and binde their faces in a secret place.

Then will I confesse vnto thee also, that thy right hand can saue thee.

He is the chiefe of the wayes of God: he that made him, will make his sworde to approch vnto him.

Surely the mountaines bring him foorth grasse, where all the beastes of the fielde play.

Hee taketh it with his eyes, and thrusteth his nose through whatsoeuer meeteth him.

Out of his mouth go lampes, and sparkes of fire leape out.

Out of his nostrels commeth out smoke, as out of a boyling pot or caldron.

His breath maketh the coales burne: for a flame goeth out of his mouth.

Then Iob answered the Lord, and sayd,

I knowe that thou canst doe all things, and that there is no thought hidde from thee.

Heare, I beseech thee, and I will speake: I will demaunde of thee, and declare thou vnto me.

I haue heard of thee by the hearing of the eare, but now mine eye seeth thee.

Now after that the Lord had spoken these wordes vnto Iob, ye Lord also said vnto Eliphaz ye Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends: for yee haue not spoken of me the thing that is right, like my seruant Iob.
