OF IOB.
957

sinne, and why doest thou not take away mine iniquitie? Behold now I shal sleep in the dust: and if thou seek me in the morning, I shal not be.

CHAP. VIII.

Baldad chargeth Iob to haue spoken vniustly, exhorting him to turne to God, and so he shal prosper better then heretofore: 13. shewing that hypocrites shal not prosper, 20. inferreth (falsly) that God afflicteth not the sincere, nor helpeth the malignant.

BVT Baldad the Suhite answering, sayd: [1] 2How long wilt thou speake such things, & shal the spirit of the word of thy mouth be multiplied? 3Why, doth God supplant iudgement? or doth the Omnipotent subuert that which is iust? 4Although thy children haue sinned to him, and he hath leaft them in the hand of their iniquitie: 5Yet if thou wilt arise early to God, & wilt beseech the Omnipotent: 6If thou wilt walke cleane & vpright, he wil forthwith awake vnto thee, and wil make the habitation of thy iustice peaceable: 7In so much, that if thy former things haue been litle, thy later things may be multiplied exceedingly. 8For aske the old generation, and search diligently the memorie of the fathers. 9(For we are but as yesterday, & are ignorant [2] that our daies vpon the earth are as a shadow.) 10And they shal teach thee: they shal speake to thee, and from their hart shal vtter words. 11Can the rush be greene without moysture? or a seggie place grow without water? 12When it is yet in his flowre, and is not plucked with the hand, it withereth before al hearbs: 13Euen so the waies of al, that forget God, and the hope of the hypocrite shal perish: 14His folie shal not please him, and his confidence as the spiders web. 15He shal leane vpon his house, and it shal not stand: he shal stay it vp, and it shal not rise: 16He seemeth moystned before the sunne come, & in his rising his blossome shal goe forth. 17Vpon a heape of rockes his roots shal be thicke, and among stones he shal abide. 18If he swallow him vp out of his place, he wil denie him, and wil say: I know thee not. 19For this is the ioy of his way, that others may spring againe of the earth. 20God wil not reiect the simple, nor reach his hand to the malignant. 21Vntil thy mouth be filled with laughter, & thy lips with iubilation. 22They that hate thee, shal be clothed with confusion: and the tabernacle of the impious shal not stand.

  1. ↑ The second conflict.
    This second disputer charged Iob to be obstinate; who indede was constant in a true setled iudgement.
  2. ↑ Euen thus heretikes imagine Catholikes to the ignorant, & therfore fil their mouthes & bookes with things that are not denied, & yet inferre much falshood sophistically applying one truth against another, being themselues ignorant how to reconcile difficulties.
