Bishops Bible 1568
| 35:1 | Elihu spake moreouer and saide |
| 35:2 | Thinkest thou it right that thou sayest, I am more righteous then God |
| 35:3 | For thou sayest: what aduauntage wyll it be vnto thee, and what profite shall I haue of my sinne |
| 35:4 | Therefore wyll I geue aunswere vnto thee, aud to thy companions with thee |
| 35:5 | Loke vnto the heauen and beholde it, consider the cloudes which are hyer then thou |
| 35:6 | If thou hast sinned, what hast thou done against him? If thyne offences be many, what hast thou done vnto him |
| 35:7 | If thou be righteous, what geuest thou him? or what wyll he receaue of thyne hande |
| 35:8 | Thy wickednesse may hurt a man as thou art, and thy righteousnesse may profite the sonne of man |
| 35:9 | They which are oppressed crye out vpon the multitude, yea they crye out for the power of the mightie |
| 35:10 | But none sayth, Where is God that made me? and that geueth vs occasion to praise him in the night |
| 35:11 | Which teacheth vs more the the beastes of the earth, and geueth vs more wysdome then the foules of heauen |
| 35:12 | If any such complaine, no man geueth aunswere, and that because of the wickednesse of proude tirauntes |
| 35:13 | For God wyll not heare vanitie, neither wyll the almightie regarde it |
| 35:14 | Although thou sayest to God thou wylt not regarde it: yet iudgement is before him, trust thou in him |
| 35:15 | But now because his anger hath not visited, neither called men to accompt with great extremitie |
| 35:16 | Therefore doth Iob open his mouth but in vaine, & he maketh many wordes without knowledge |
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.
