10 The roring of the lion, and the voyce of the lion, and the teeth of the lions whelpes are pulled out.

11 The lion perisheth for lake of pray, & the lions whelpes are scattered abrode.

12 But wheras a thing was hyd from me, yet myne care hath receaued a litle therof.

13 In the thoughtes and visions of the night when sleepe commeth on men,

14 Feare came vpon me & dread, which made all my bones to shake.

15 The winde passed by before my presence, and made the heeres of my fleshe to stande vp.

16 He stoode thereon and I knewe not his face, an image there was before myne eyes, and in the stilnesse hearde I a voyce.

17 Shall man be more iust then God? or shall a man be purer then his maker?

18 Beholde, he founde not trueth in his seruauntes, and in his angels there was folly:

19 Howe much more in them that dwel in houses of clay, and whose foundation is but dust, which shall be consumed as it were with a moth?

20 They shalbe smitten from the morning vnto the euening: yea they shall perishe for euer, when no man regardeth them.

21 Is not their royaltie gone away with them? they shall dye truely, and not in wysdome.
