Bishops Bible 1568

   

31:1I made a couenaunt with myne eyes: why then should I loke vpon a mayden
31:2For how great a portion shall I haue of God? and what inheritaunce from the almightie on hye
31:3Is not destruction to the wicked? and straunge punishement to the workers of iniquitie
31:4Doth not he see my wayes, and tell all my goynges
31:5If I haue walked in vanitie, or if my feete haue runne to disceaue
31:6Let me be wayed in an euen balaunce, that God may see myne innocencie
31:7If my steppe hath turned out of the way, & myne heart walked after myne eyes, and if any blot haue cleaued to my handes
31:8Then shall I sowe, and an other eate: yea my posteritie shalbe cleane rooted out
31:9If my heart haue ben deceaued by a woman, or if I haue layde wayte at my neyghbours doore
31:10Then let my wife grinde vnto an other man, and let other men lye with her
31:11For this is a wickednesse, and sinne that is worthy to be punished
31:12Yea a fire that vtterly should consume and roote out all my increase
31:13If I euer thought scorne to do right vnto my seruauntes & maydens, when they had any matter against me
31:14When God will sit in iudgement, what shall I do? & when he will visite me, what aunswere shal I geue him
31:15He that fashioned me in my mothers wombe, made he not him also? were we not both shapen a like in our mothers bodies
31:16If I denied the poore of their desire, or haue caused the eyes of the wydow to wayte in vayne
31:17If I haue eaten my morsell alone, that ye fatherlesse hath not eaten therof
31:18(For from my youth it hath growen vp with me as with a father, and from my mothers wombe I haue ben guyde to the wydowe
31:19If I haue seene any perishe for want of clothing, or any poore for lake of rayment
31:20If his loynes haue not blessed me, because he was warmed with the fleece of my sheepe
31:21If I haue lift vp mine hand against the fatherlesse, when I sawe that I might helpe him in the gate
31:22Then let myne arme fall fro my shoulder, and myne arme holes be broken from the bone
31:23For I haue euer feared the vengeaunce and punishment of God, and knewe very well that I was not able to beare his burthen
31:24Haue I put my trust in golde? or haue I sayde to the wedge of golde, thou art my confidence
31:25Haue I reioyced because my power was great, and because my hande gat so much
31:26Dyd I euer greatly regarde the rysing of the sunne? or had I the goyng downe of the moone in great reputation
31:27Hath my heart medled priuyly with any disceite? or did I euer kisse myne owne hande
31:28(That were a wickednesse worthy to be punished: for then shoulde I haue denyed the God that is aboue.
31:29Haue I euer reioyced at the hurt of myne enemie? or was I euer glad that any harme happened vnto him? [Oh, no.
31:30I neuer suffred my mouth to sinne, by wishing a curse to his soule
31:31Dyd not the men of myne owne housholde say, Who shall let vs to haue our belly full of his fleshe
31:32The straunger dyd not lodge in the streete, but I opened my doores vnto him that went by the way
31:33Haue I kept secrete my sinne, and hyd myne iniquitie, as Adam dyd
31:34Though I coulde haue made afeard a great multitude, yet the most contemptible of the families dyd feare me: so I kept scilence, and went not out of the doore
31:35O that I had one which woulde heare me: beholde my signe in the whiche the almightie shal aunswere for me, though he that is my contrarie partie hath written a booke against me
31:36Yet will I take it vpon my shoulder, & as a garlande binde it about my head
31:37I will tell hym the number of my goinges, & go vnto him as to a prince
31:38But if case be that my lande crye against me, or that the forowes thereof make any complaynt
31:39If I haue eaten the fruites therof vnpayed for, yea if I haue greeued the soules of the maisters therof
31:40Then let thystles growe in steede of my wheate, and cockle for my barlye

Bishops Bible 1568

The Bishops' Bible was produced under the authority of the established Church of England in 1568. It was substantially revised in 1572, and the 1602 edition was prescribed as the base text for the King James Bible completed in 1611. The thorough Calvinism of the Geneva Bible offended the Church of England, to which almost all of its bishops subscribed. They associated Calvinism with Presbyterianism, which sought to replace government of the church by bishops with government by lay elders. However, they were aware that the Great Bible of 1539 , which was the only version then legally authorized for use in Anglican worship, was severely deficient, in that much of the Old Testament and Apocrypha was translated from the Latin Vulgate, rather than from the original Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek. In an attempt to replace the objectionable Geneva translation, they circulated one of their own, which became known as the Bishops' Bible.
