Job 42
Job chapter 42 from the John Wycliffe Bible (c.1395)
1 Alle men seen God; ech man biholdith afer. 2 Lo! God is greet, ouercomynge oure kunnyng; the noumbre of hise yeeris is with out noumbre. 3 Which takith awei the dropis of reyn; and schedith out reynes at the licnesse of floodyatis, 4 whiche comen doun of the cloudis, that hilen alle thingis aboue. 5 If he wole stretche forthe cloudis as his tente, 6 and leite with his liyt fro aboue, he schal hile, yhe, 7 the herris of the see. For bi these thingis he demeth puplis, and yyueth mete to many deedli men. 8 In hondis he hidith liyt; and comaundith it, that it come eft. 9 He tellith of it to his freend, that it is his possessioun; and that he may stie to it. 11 Myn herte dredde of this thing, and is moued out of his place. 12 It schal here an heryng in the feerdfulnesse of his vois, and a sown comynge forth of his mouth. 13 He biholdith ouere alle heuenes; and his liyt is ouere the termes of erthe. 14 Sown schal rore aftir hym, he schal thundre with the vois of his greetnesse; and it schal not be souyt out, whanne his vois is herd. 15 God schal thundre in his vois wondurfulli, that makith grete thingis and that moun not be souyt out. 16 Which comaundith to the snow to come doun on erthe, and to the reynes of wijntir, and to the reynes of his strengthe. 17 Which markith in the hond of alle men, that alle men knowe her werkis.
