For he addeth rebellion vnto his sinne: he clappeth his handes among vs, and multiplieth his wordes against God.

But nowe because his anger hath not visited, nor called to count the euill with great extremitie,

Therfore Iob openeth his mouth in vaine, and multiplieth wordes without knowledge.

He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous, but they are with Kings in ye throne, where he placeth them for euer: thus they are exalted.

He deliuereth the poore in his affliction, & openeth their eare in trouble.

Beholde, God exalteth by his power: what teacher is like him?

Who hath appointed to him his way? or who can say, Thou hast done wickedly?

Remember that thou magnifie his worke, which men behold.

Beholde, God is excellent, and we knowe him not, neither can the nomber of his yeres bee searched out.

Who can know the diuisions of ye clouds and the thunders of his tabernacle?

Beholde, he spreadeth his light vpon it, and couereth the bottome of the sea.

His companion sheweth him thereof, and there is anger in rising vp.

He directeth it vnder the whole heauen, and his light vnto the endes of the world.

After it a noyse soundeth: hee thundereth with the voyce of his maiestie, and hee will not stay them when his voyce is heard.

God thundereth marueilously wt his voyce: he worketh great things, which we know not.

For he sayth to the snowe, Be thou vpon the earth: likewise to the small rayne and to the great rayne of his power.

With the force thereof he shutteth vp euery man, that all men may knowe his worke.

He maketh also the cloudes to labour, to water the earth, and scattereth the cloude of his light.
