²⁵ When he goeth the mightie are afraide, and feare troubleth them

⁷ Now when the Lorde had spoken these wordes vnto Iob, it came to passe that the Lorde saide to Eliphas the Themanite: I am displeased with thee, and thy two friendes: for ye haue not spoken of me the thyng that is right, lyke as my seruaunt Iob hath done ⁸ Therefore take you now seuen oxen, and seuen rammes, and go to my seruaunt Iob, and offer vp for your selues a burnt offring, and my seruaunt Iob shall pray for you: him wyll I accept, and not deale with you after your foolishnesse, in that ye haue not spoken of me the thing which is right, lyke as my seruaunt Iob hath done

⁸ Therefore take you now seuen oxen, and seuen rammes, and go to my seruaunt Iob, and offer vp for your selues a burnt offring, and my seruaunt Iob shall pray for you: him wyll I accept, and not deale with you after your foolishnesse, in that ye haue not spoken of me the thing which is right, lyke as my seruaunt Iob hath done

³ Thou shalt heare my voyce betymes O God: I wyll early in the morning direct [a prayer] vnto thee, and I wyll looke [for helpe from thee.

²⁰ I haue founde Dauid my seruaunt: I haue annoynted him with myne holye oyle

³⁸ (89:37) But thou hast abhorred & forsake thine annoynted: & art sore displeased at him ³⁹ (89:38) Thou hast broken the couenaunt of thy seruaunt: thou hast disgraced his crowne, [castyng it] on the grounde ⁴⁰ (89:39) Thou hast ouerthrowe all his walles: and broken downe his strong holdes ⁴¹ (89:40) All they that go by the way spoyle hym: he is become a rebuke vnto his neyghbours ⁴² (89:41) Thou hast exalted the ryght hande of his enemies: and made all his aduersaries to reioyce ⁴³ (89:42) Thou hast turned the harde edge of his sworde: and thou hast not lifted him vp in the battayle ⁴⁴ (89:43) Thou hast brought his noble estate to an ende: and hast cast his throne downe to the grounde ⁴⁵ (89:44) Thou hast shortened the dayes of his youth: and thou hast couered him with shame.
