| 27:1 | And Iob proceaded & went forth in his communicacyon, saying: |
| 27:2 | As truly as God liueth (which hath taken away my power from me) and the almighty, that hath vexed my mynd. |
| 27:3 | My lippes shall talke of no vanite, and my tonge shall speake no disceyte |
| 27:4 | whyle my breth is in me, and as longe as the wynde (that God hath geuen me) is in my nostrels. |
| 27:5 | God forbidde, that I should graunt your cause to be ryght. As for me, vntil mine ende come, will I neuer go from mine innocencye. |
| 27:6 | My ryghteous dealinge kepe I fast, whiche I wyll not forsake: my hert shall not reproue me of my dayes. |
| 27:7 | Therfore myne enemye shalbe founde as the vngodly, and he that taketh parte against me, as the vnrighteous. |
| 27:8 | What hope hath the ypocrite, though he haue greate good, and though God geue him ryches after his hertes desire? |
| 27:9 | Doeth God hear him the soner, when he crieth vnto him in his necessite? |
| 27:10 | Hath he suche pleasure and delyte in the Almighty, that he darre alway cal vpon God? |
| 27:11 | I wyl teache you in the name of God? and the thinge that I haue of the Almightye will I not kepe from you. |
| 27:12 | Beholde, ye stand in youre owne conceate, as though ye knewe all thinges. Wherfore then do ye go aboute with suche vaine wordes, |
| 27:13 | saying: This is the porcion that the wicked shall haue of God, and the heretage that Tirauntes shall receyue of the almighty. |
| 27:14 | Yf he get many chyldren, they shal perishe with the swearde, and hys posterite, shal haue scarcenesse of bread. |
| 27:15 | Loke whom he leaueth behind him, they shall dye & be buried, and no man shall haue pite of hys wyddowes. |
| 27:16 | Though he haue as muche money as the dust of the earthe, and raymente as ready as the claie, |
| 27:17 | he maye wel prepare it: but the godly shall put it vpon him, & the innocent shall deale oute the money. |
| 27:18 | His house shall endure as the moth, and as a bothe that the watcheman maketh. |
| 27:19 | When the ryche man dyeth, he caried nothing with him: he is gone in the twinckelynge of an eye. |
| 27:20 | Destruccyon taketh holde vpon him as a water floud, and the tempest stealeth hym awaie in the nyghte season. |
| 27:21 | A vehemente wynde caried him hence and departeth: a storme plucketh hym oute of his place. |
| 27:22 | It russheth in vpon hym, and spareth him not, he maye not escape from the power thereof. |
| 27:23 | Then clappe men their handes at him, yea and yeast of him, when they loke vpon his place. |
Matthew's Bible 1537
The Matthew Bible, also known as Matthew's Version, was first published in 1537 by John Rogers, under the pseudonym "Thomas Matthew". It combined the New Testament of William Tyndale, and as much of the Old Testament as he had been able to translate before being captured and put to death, with the translations of Myles Coverdale as to the balance of the Old Testament and the Apocrypha, except the Apocryphal Prayer of Manasses. It is thus a vital link in the main sequence of English Bible translations.
