Job 33
- 1 Therfor, Joob, here thou my spechis, and herkene alle my wordis.
- 2 Lo! Y haue openyd my mouth, my tunge schal speke in my chekis.
- 3 Of symple herte ben my wordis, and my lippis schulen speke clene sentence.
- 4 The spirit of God made me, and the brething of Almyyti God quykenyde me.
- 5 If thou maist, answere thou to me, and stoonde thou ayens my face.
- 6 Lo! God made me as and thee; and also Y am formyd of the same cley.
- 7 Netheles my myracle make thee not afeerd, and myn eloquence be not greuouse to thee.
- 8 Therfor thou seidist in myn eeris, and Y herde the vois of thi wordis;
- 9 Y am cleene, and with out gilt, and vnwemmed, and wickidnesse is not in me.
- 10 `For God foond querels in me, therfor he demyde me enemy to hym silf.
- 11 He hath set my feet in a stok; he kepte alle my pathis.
- 12 Therfor this thing it is, in which thou art not maad iust; Y schal answere to thee, that God is more than man.
- 13 Thou stryuest ayenus God, that not at alle wordis he answeride to thee.
- 14 God spekith onys, and the secounde tyme he rehersith not the same thing.
- 15 God spekith bi a dreem in the visioun of nyyt, whanne sleep fallith on men, and thei slepen in the bed.
- 16 Thanne he openith the eeris of men, and he techith hem, `and techith prudence;
- 17 that he turne awei a man fro these thingis whiche he made, and delyuere hym fro pride; delyuerynge his soule fro corrupcioun,
- 18 and his lijf, that it go not in to swerd.
- 19 Also God blameth a synnere bi sorewe in the bed, and makith alle the boonys of hym `to fade.
- 20 Breed is maad abhomynable to hym in his lijf, and mete desirable `bifor to his soule.
- 21 His fleisch schal faile for rot, and hise boonys, that weren hilid, schulen be maad nakid.
- 22 His soule schal neiye to corrupcioun, and his lijf to thingis `bryngynge deeth.
- 23 If an aungel, oon of a thousynde, is spekynge for hym, that he telle the equyte of man, God schal haue mercy on hym,
- 24 and schal seie, Delyuere thou hym, that he go not doun in to corrupcioun; Y haue founde in what thing Y schal do merci to hym.
- 25 His fleisch is wastid of turmentis; turne he ayen to the daies of his yonge wexynge age.
- 26 He schal biseche God, and he schal be quemeful to hym; and he schal se his face in hertly ioye, and he schal yelde to man his riytfulnesse.
- 27 He schal biholde men, and he schal seie, Y haue synned, and verili Y haue trespassid; and Y haue not resseyued, as Y was worthi.
- 28 For he delyueride his soule, that it schulde not go in to perischyng, but that he lyuynge schulde se liyt.
- 29 Lo! God worchith alle these thingis in thre tymes bi alle men;
- 30 that he ayen clepe her soulis fro corrupcioun, and liytne in the liyt of lyuynge men.
- 31 Thou, Joob, perseyue, and here me, and be thou stille, the while Y speke.
- 32 Sotheli if thou hast what thou schalt speke, answere thou to me, speke thou; for Y wole, that thou appere iust.
- 33 That if thou hast not, here thou me; be thou stille, and Y schal teche thee wisdom.

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
