21 Haue pitie vpon me, haue pitie vpon me, O ye my friendes, for the hande of God hath touched me. 22 Why do ye persecute me as God doth and are not satisfied with my fleshe? 23 O that my wordes were now written, O that they were put in a booke, 24 And grauen with an iron penne in leade, or in stone, to continue. 25 For I am sure that my redeemer saueth, and he shall rayse vp at the latter day them that lye in the dust. 26 And though after my skinne the wormes destroy this body, yet shall I see God in my fleshe: 27 Whom I my selfe shall see, and myne eyes shall beholde, and none other for me, though my raines are consumed within me. 28 But ye saide, why is he persecuted? and there was a deepe matter in me. 29 But beware of the sworde: for the sword wylbe auenged of wickednesse, and be sure that there is a iudgement.
