Know nowe, that God hath ouerthrowen me, and hath compassed me with his net.

And he hath kindled his wrath against me, and counteth mee as one of his enemies.

His armies came together, & made their way vpon me, and camped about my tabernacle.

Though his excellencie mount vp to the heauen, and his head reache vnto the cloudes,

Yet shall hee perish for euer, like his dung, and they which haue seene him, shall say, Where is hee?

So that the eye which had seene him, shall do so no more, & his place shal see him no more.

His children shall flatter the poore, & his hands shall restore his substance.

His bones are full of the sinne of his youth, and it shal lie downe with him in the dust.

When wickednesse was sweete in his mouth, and he hid it vnder his tongue,

And fauoured it, and would not forsake it, but kept it close in his mouth,

Then his meat in his bowels was turned: the gall of Aspes was in the middes of him.

He hath deuoured substance, and hee shall vomit it: for God shall drawe it out of his bellie.

He shal restore the labour, and shall deuoure no more: euen according to the substance shalbe his exchange, & he shal enioy it no more.

Surely he shall feele no quietnes in his bodie, neither shall he reserue of yt which he desired.

There shall none of his meate bee left: therefore none shal hope for his goods.

When he shalbe filled with his abundance, he shalbe in paine, and the hand of all the wicked shall assaile him.

He shall be about to fill his belly, but God shall sende vpon him his fierce wrath, and shall cause to rayne vpon him, euen vpon his meate.

The arrowe is drawen out, and commeth forth of the body, & shineth of his gall, so feare commeth vpon him.

All darkenes shalbe hid in his secret places: the fire that is not blowen, shall deuoure him, and that which remaineth in his tabernacle, shalbe destroyed.

The heauen shal declare his wickednes, & the earth shal rise vp against him.
