Lamentations 5
- 1 Lord, haue thou mynde what bifelle to vs; se thou, and biholde oure schenschipe.
- 2 Oure eritage is turned to aliens, oure housis ben turned to straungers.
- 3 We ben maad fadirles children with out fadir; oure modris ben as widewis.
- 4 We drunken oure watir for monei, we bouyten oure trees for siluer.
- 5 We weren dryuun bi oure heedis, and reste was not youun to feynt men.
- 6 We yauen hond to Egipt, and to Assiriens, that we schulden be fillid with breed.
- 7 Oure fadris synneden, and ben not, and we baren the wickidnessis of hem.
- 8 Seruauntis weren lordis of vs, and noon was, that ayenbouyte fro the hond of hem.
- 9 In oure lyues we brouyten breed to vs, fro the face of swerd in desert.
- 10 Oure skynne is brent as a furneis, of the face of tempestis of hungur.
- 11 Thei maden low wymmen in Sion, and virgyns in the citees of Juda.
- 12 Princes weren hangid bi the hond; thei weren not aschamed of the faces of elde men.
- 13 Thei mysusiden yonge wexynge men vnchastli, and children fellen doun in tree.
- 14 Elde men failiden fro yatis; yonge men failiden of the queer of singeris.
- 15 The ioie of oure herte failide; oure song is turned in to mourenyng.
- 16 The coroun of oure heed fellen doun; wo to vs! for we synneden.
- 17 Therfor oure herte is maad soreuful, therfor oure iyen ben maad derk.
- 18 For the hil of Sion, for it perischide; foxis yeden in it.
- 19 But thou, Lord, schal dwelle with outen ende; thi seete schal dwelle in generacioun and in to generacioun.
- 20 Whi schalt thou foryete vs with outen ende, schalt thou forsake vs in to lengthe of daies?
- 21 Lord, conuerte thou vs to thee, and we schal be conuertid; make thou newe oure daies, as at the bigynnyng.
- 22 But thou castynge awei hast cast awei vs; thou art wrooth ayens vs greetli.

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
