1 So Iob aunswered, & saide: 2 Then no doubt ye are the men alone, and wysdome shall perishe with you. 3 But I haue vnderstanding aswell as ye, and am not inferior to you: Yea who knoweth not these thinges? 4 I am as one mocked of his neighbour, who calleth vpon God, & he heareth him: The iust & the vpright is laughed to scorne. 5 Being as alight despised in the heartes of the riche, and as one redy to fall. 6 The houses of robbers are in wealth and prosperitie, and they that maliciouslie meddle against God dwell without care, in those thinges that God hath geuen richely with his hande. 7 Aske the cattaile, and they shall enfourme thee: the foules of the ayre, and they shall tell thee. 8 Or the encrease of the earth, and it shall shew thee: or the fishes of the sea, and they shall certifie thee. 9 What is he but he knoweth that the hande of the Lorde made all these?
