Job

Then the wrath of Elihu the sonne of Barachel the Buzite, of the familie of Ram, was kindled: his wrath, I say, was kindled against Iob, because he iustified himselfe more then God.

Also his anger was kindled against his three friends, because they could not finde an answere, and yet condemned Iob.

(Now Elihu had wayted til Iob had spoken: for they were more ancient in yeeres then he)

Yea, when I had considered you, lo, there was none of you that reproued Iob, nor answered his wordes:

Wherefore, Iob, I pray thee, heare my talke and hearken vnto all my wordes.

Marke well, O Iob, and heare me: keepe silence, and I will speake.

For Iob hath saide, I am righteous, and God hath taken away my iudgement.

What man is like Iob, that drinketh scornfulnesse like water?

Iob hath not spoken of knowledge, neyther were his wordes according to wisedome.

I desire that Iob may be tryed, vnto the ende touching the answeres for wicked men.

Therfore Iob openeth his mouth in vaine, and multiplieth wordes without knowledge.

Hearken vnto this, O Iob: stand and consider the wonderous workes of God.

Then answered the Lord vnto Iob out of the whirle winde, and said,

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

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

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

Then Iob answered the Lord, and sayd,

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.

Therefore take vnto you nowe seuen bullockes, and seuen rammes, and go to my seruant Iob, and offer vp for your selues a burnt offring, and my seruant Iob shall pray for you: for I wil accept him, least I should put you to shame, because ye haue not spoken of me the thing, which is right, like my seruant Iob.

So Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according as the Lord had saide vnto them, and the Lord accepted Iob.

Then the Lord turned the captiuitie of Iob, when he prayed for his friends: also the Lord gaue Iob twise so much as he had before.

So the Lord blessed the last dayes of Iob more then the first: for he had foureteene thousand sheepe, and sixe thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand shee asses.

In all the lande were no women found so faire as the daughters of Iob, and their father gaue them inheritaunce among their brethren.

And after this liued Iob an hundreth and fourtie yeres, and sawe his sonnes, and his sonnes sonnes, euen foure generations.

So Iob dyed, being old, and full of dayes.
