Job 3
- 1 Aftir these thingis Joob openyde his mouth,
- 2 and curside his dai, and seide, Perische the dai in which Y was borun,
- 3 and the nyyt in which it was seid, The man is conceyued.
- 4 Thilke dai be turnede in to derknessis; God seke not it aboue, and be it not in mynde, nethir be it liytned with liyt.
- 5 Derknessis make it derk, and the schadewe of deeth and myist occupie it; and be it wlappid with bittirnesse.
- 6 Derk whirlwynde holde that niyt; be it not rikynyd among the daies of the yeer, nethir be it noumbrid among the monethes.
- 7 Thilke nyyt be soleyn, and not worthi of preisyng.
- 8 Curse thei it, that cursen the dai, that ben redi to reise Leuyathan.
- 9 Sterris be maad derk with the derknesse therof; abide it liyt, and se it not, nethir the bigynnyng of the morwetid risyng vp.
- 10 For it closide not the doris of the wombe, that bar me, nethir took awei yuels fro min iyen.
- 11 Whi was not Y deed in the wombe? whi yede Y out of the wombe, and perischide not anoon?
- 12 Whi was Y takun on knees? whi was Y suclid with teetis?
- 13 For now Y slepynge schulde be stille, and schulde reste in my sleep,
- 14 with kyngis, and consuls of erthe, that bilden to hem soleyn places;
- 15 ethir with prynces that han gold in possessioun, and fillen her housis with siluer;
- 16 ethir as a `thing hid not borun Y schulde not stonde, ethir whiche conseyued sien not liyt.
- 17 There wickid men ceessiden of noise, and there men maad wery of strengthe restiden.
- 18 And sum tyme boundun togidere with out disese thei herden not the voys of the wrongful axere.
- 19 A litil man and greet man be there, and a seruaunt free fro his lord.
- 20 Whi is liyt youun to the wretche, and lijf to hem that ben in bitternesse of soule?
- 21 Whiche abiden deeth, and it cometh not;
- 22 as men diggynge out tresour and ioien greetly, whanne thei han founde a sepulcre?
- 23 Whi is liyt youun to a man, whos weie is hid, and God hath cumpassid hym with derknessis?
- 24 Bifore that Y ete, Y siyhe; and as of watir flowynge, so is my roryng.
- 25 For the drede, which Y dredde, cam to me; and that, that Y schamede, bifelde.
- 26 Whether Y dissymilide not? whether Y was not stille? whether Y restide not? and indignacioun cometh on me.

John Wycliffe Bible (c.1395) (wycliffe - 2.4.1)
2020-08-01English (enm)
The Holy Bible, containing the Old and New Testaments, with the Apocryphal books, in the earliest English versions made from the Latin Vulgate by John Wycliffe and his followers, c.1395
Source text https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Bible_(Wycliffe)
John Wycliffe organized the first complete translation of the Bible into Middle English in the 1380s.
The translation from the Vulgate was a collaborative effort, and it is not clear which portions are actually Wycliffe's work.
Church authorities officially condemned the translators of the Bible into vernacular languages and called these heretics Lollards.
Despite their prohibition, revised versions of Wycliffite Bibles remained in use for about 100 years.
Wikisource attributes its source as the Wesley Center Online.
That in turn was derived from the Fedosov transcription on the Slavic Bibles site http://www.sbible.ru
The source text makes no use of archaic letters that were part of Middle English orthography.
The Latin letter Yogh [ȝ] was evidently replaced by the letter [y] in the Fedosov transcription.
The text is available under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.
Verse numbers were not used in either the earlier or later version of the Wycliffe Bible in the fourteenth century. Each chapter consisted of one unbroken block of text. There were not even any paragraphs. Hence whatever verse numbers we now have in modern editions have been added retrospectively by comparison with other English Bibles and the Latin Vulgate.
Two books found in the Vulgate, II Esdras and Psalm 151, were never part of the Wycliffe Bible.
Module build notes:
1. The Prayer of Manasseh has been separated from 2 Chronicles in order to avoid a critical versification issue.
cf. In Wikisource it was assigned as 2 Paralipomenon chapter 37.
2. The Letter of Jeremiah has been joined to Baruch as chapter 6 thereof.
3. The book order of Wycliffe's Bible differs from that of the Vulg versification used in this module.
4. There are now 313 notes in the Wikisource document.
5. The Wikisource text substantially matches that of the nine books in module version 1.0
6. Each of these five verses not in the Vulg versification was appended to the previous verse: Deut.27.27 Esth.5.15 Ps.38.15 Ps.147.10 Luke.10.43
7. There are also several verses without any text. Use Sword utility emptyvss to list these.- Encoding: UTF-8
