The Great Bible 1539

 

   

16:1Iob answered, and sayde:
16:2I haue oft tymes hearde soch thynges. Myserable geuers of conforte are ye, all the sorte of you.
16:3Shall not vayne wordes come yet to an ende? Or, hast thou yet eny more to saye?
16:4I coulde speake, as ye do also. But wold God, that youre soule were in my soules steade: then shuld I heape vp wordes agaynst you, and shake my heade at you.
16:5I shuld comforte you with my mouthe, and release youre payne with the talkyng of my lippes.
16:6For all my wordes, my sorow wyll ceasse: and though I holde my tonge, yet wyll it not departe from me.
16:7But now that God hath sente me aduersytie, thou hast troubled all my congregacyon.
16:8And that thou hast fylled me wyth wrynckles, my fleshe is recorde, and my leanesse ryseth vp agaynst me, and beareth wytnesse agaynst me.
16:9He is angrye at me, he hateth me and gnassheth vpon me wyth hys teth. Myne enemye skouleth vpon me wyth hys eyes.
16:10They haue opened their mouthes wyde vpon me & smytten me vpon the cheke despitefully, they gather them selues together agaynst me.
16:11God hath put me in prease with the vngodly, & delyuered me into the handes of the wycked.
16:12I was in wealth, but he hath brought me to naught. He hath taken me by the neck, he hath rent me, and sett me as a marck for him selfe.
16:13His archers compasse me rounde aboute: he wounded my loynes, and doth not spare. My bowels hath he poured vpon the ground.
16:14He hath geuen me one wound vpon another, and is fallen vpon me lyke a giaunte.
16:15I haue sowed a sack cloth vpon my skynne, & lye with my heare in the dust.
16:16My face is swollen with wepynge, and in myne eyes is the shadow of death.
16:17Howbeit, there is no wyckednesse in my handes, but my prayer is cleane.
16:18O earth couer not thou my bloude, and let my cryenge fynde no rowme.
16:19For lo, my witnesse is in heauen: & he that knoweth me, is aboue in the heygth:
16:20My frendes geue me many wordes, to scorne, and myne eye poureth out teares vnto God.
16:21O that a body might pleate with God, as one man doth with another,
16:22yet the nombre of my yeares is come, and the waye that I must go is at hande, from whence I shall not turne agayne.
The Great Bible 1539

The Great Bible 1539

The Great Bible of 1539 was the first authorized edition of the Bible in English, authorized by King Henry VIII of England to be read aloud in the church services of the Church of England. The Great Bible was prepared by Myles Coverdale, working under commission of Thomas, Lord Cromwell, Secretary to Henry VIII and Vicar General. In 1538, Cromwell directed the clergy to provide "one book of the bible of the largest volume in English, and the same set up in some convenient place within the said church that ye have care of, whereas your parishioners may most commodiously resort to the same and read it."
