²⁶ Then spake the woman, whose the lyuynge chylde was, vnto the kynge, for her bowelles yerned vpon her sonne, and sayde: I beseche the my Lorde, geue her the lyuyng chylde, and in no wyse sleye it. But the other sayd: let it be nether myne nor thyne, but deuyde it. ²⁷ Then the kynge answered and sayd: geue her the lyuing chylde, and sley it not: for she is the mother therof.

²⁸ And the kynge sayde vnto her: what wilt thou? She answered: yonder woman sayde vnto me: brynge thy sonne, that we maye eate him to daye, and we wyll eate myne to morowe. ²⁹ And so we dressed my sonne and dyd eate him.

¹⁵ The laboure of the folysh is greuous vnto them, whyle they knowe not howe to go into the citye.

²⁰ Beholde, O Lorde, and consydre, why hast thou gathered me vp so cleane? Shall the wemen then eate their awne frute, euen chyldren of a spanne longe? Shall the prestes and prophetes be slayne thus in the Sanctuary of the Lorde?

¹¹ Whych geueth vs more vnderstandyng then he doth the beastes of the earth, & teacheth vs more then he doth the foules of heauen.

¹¹ But ye foolish prynces of Zoan, ye wyse councelours of Pharao, whose wit is turned to foolyshnes, how saye ye vnto Pharao: I am come of wyse men & of auncient kynges? ¹² Wher ar they? where are (I saye) thy wyse men? Let them tell the (yf they can) what the lord of hoostes hath deuysed vpon Egypte. ¹³ The prynces of zoan are become fooles, the prynces of Noph are disceaued, they haue disceaued Egypte, euen they that were taken for the chefe kynred therof. ¹⁴ In the myddes of it hath the lord powred the sprete of wyckednes, and they haue disceaued Egypt in euery worke therof, euen as a droncken man stackereth in his vomyte.

²² In destruccion and derth thou shalt be mery, and shalt not be afrayed of beastes of the earth.

²² He layeth asyde all feare, hys stomack is not abated, nether starteth he a back for any swerde.

²⁹ He counteth the dartes no better then a strawe, he laugheth hym to scorne that shaketh the speare.

¹ Then Moses & the chyldren of Israel sange this songe vnto the Lord and sayde: I wyll syng vnto the Lorde: for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and him that rode vpon him hath he ouerthrowne in the see.

²⁵ but as soone as he heareth the shawmes blowe, tush (sayeth he) for he smelleth the battel a farre of, the noyse, the captaynes and the shoutinge.

¹⁶ The noyse of his horsses is hearde from Dan, the whole lande is afrayed at the neyenge of his stronge horsses: for they are come in, & haue deuoured the lande, wt all that is in it: the cyties, and those that dwell therin.

⁵ They skippe vp vpon the hylles, as it were the sounde of charettes: as the flame of fyre that consumeth the strawe, and as a myghty people redy to the batayll.

²² Then were the horse hoffes smytten asunder by the meames of the praunsinges that their mightye men made.

⁴ And there came a man betwene them both, out of the tentes of the Philistines, named Goliath of Gath syxe cubytes and an handbredth longe, ⁵ and had an helmet of brasse vpon hys heed, and a coate of mayle about hym. And the weyght of hys coate of mayle was fyue thousande sykles of brasse. ⁶ And he had bootes of brasse vpon his legges, and a shylde of brasse vpon his shoulders. ⁷ And the shafte of his spere was like a weuers beame. And his speare heed weyed .vj. hundred sikles of yron. And one bearynge a shylde went before hym. ⁸ And he stode and cryed agaynst the hoste of Israel, & sayde vnto them: Why are ye come out in araye to battell? am not I a Philistine and you seruauntes to Saul? chose you a man from amonge you, & lett him come downe to me. ⁹ And yf he be able to fyght with me, & to beate me, then will we be youre seruauntes. But yf I can ouercome him and beate him, then shall ye be oure seruauntes, & serue vs. ¹⁰ And the Philistine sayde: I defye the host of Israel this daye, geue me a man, that we maye fight together:

⁴² And when the Philistine loked aboute, and sawe Dauid, he disdayned him, for he was but yonge, and well coloured, and goodlye to loke vpon.

⁵ In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sunne, which commeth forth as a brydgrome out of hys chambre, and reioyseth as a giaunt to runne his course.

³¹ The horsse is prepared agaynst the daye of battayll: but the Lorde geueth the victorye.

⁶ For I haue loked, & consydered: but there is no man that speaketh a good word: there is no man that taketh repentaunce for hys synne, that wyll so moch as saye: wherfore, haue I done thys? But euery man (as soone as he is turned backe) runneth forth styll, lyke a wylde horse in a battayll.

²³ Thus sayeth the Lorde. Let not the wyse man reioyse in his wysdome, ner the strong man in his strength, nether the ryche man in his rychesse.

¹⁶ So harde is he vnto hys yonge ones, as though they were not hys, and laboureth in vayne wythout any feare.

³³ Upon erth is there no power lyke vnto hys, for he is so made that he feareth not.

²⁶ If any man draw out a swearde at him, it shall not hurt him: there may nether speare, iauelinge ner brest plate, abyde hym. ²⁷ He setteth as moch by a strawe as by yron, and as moch by a rotten stocke as by brasse. ²⁸ He starteth not awaye for hym that bendeth the bowe: and as for slynge stones, he careth as moch for stubble as for them. ²⁹ He counteth the dartes no better then a strawe, he laugheth hym to scorne that shaketh the speare.

¹⁶ Yf I had called vpon hym, and he had answered me: yet wold I not beleue, that he herd my voyce:

²⁴ When I laughed, they knewe well it was not earnest: and the lyght of my countenaunce wolde they not put out.

²⁰ Shall it be tolde hym what I saye? Shuld a man speake, or shulde he kepe it backe?

¹⁹ Ah my bely, ah my bely, (shalt thou cry) how is my hert so sore? my hert panteth within me: I cannot be styll, for I haue herde the crying of the trompettes, and peales of warre.

⁶ Crye they out Alarum with the trompet in the cytie, and the people not afrayed? Commeth there eny plage in a cytie without it be the Lordes doynge?

⁸ Their horses are swyfter then the cattes of the mountayne, & byte sorer then the wolues in the euening. Their horsemen come by greate heapes from farre, they fle hastely to deuour as the Aegle. ⁹ They come all to spoyle: out of them commeth an east wynde, whych bloweth and gathereth their captiues, lyke as the sande.

⁴¹ And whyll they yet beleued not for ioye, and wondred, he sayd vnto them: Haue ye here eny meate?

³ Let them (for theyr rewarde) be soone brought to shame, that crye ouer me: there, there.

² Thou sonne of man, because that Tyre hath spoken vpon Ierusalem: A, ha, now I trowe the portes of the people be broken, and she turned vnto me, for now that she is destroyed I shall be fylled.

⁴ ye haue sene what I dyd vnto the Egyptians, and toke you vp vpon Eegles wynges, & haue brought you vnto my selfe:

¹³ These are they whych ye shall abhorre amonge the foules, and that ought not to be eaten, for they are an abhomynacyon. The egle, the goshauke, & the cormoraunte,

⁵ Whych satisfyeth thy mouth wyth good thynges, makyng the yonge and lusty as an Aegle.

⁵ Why wilt thou set thyne eye vpon the thynge, which sodenly vanisheth awaye? For riches make them selues winges, & take theyr flyght lyke an Aegle in to that ayre.

³¹ But vnto them that haue the Lord before theyr eyes, shall strength be encreased. Aegles wynges shall growe vpon them. When they runne they shall not fall: and when they go, they shall not be weery.

¹⁶ Thy hye stomacke and the pryde of thy herte haue disceaued the, because thou wylt dwell in the holes of stony rockes, and haue the hye mountaynes in possession. Neuertheles, though thy neste were as hye as the aegles, yet wyll I cast the downe, sayeth the Lorde.

¹ Set the horne to thy mouth, and blowe: swyftly (as an Aegle) shall the enemye come against the house of the Lorde: for they haue broken my couenaunt, & transgressed my lawe.

⁴ But though thou wentest vp as hye as the Aegle, and madest thy nest aboue amonge the starres: yet wolde I plucke the downe from thence.

⁴ And in the myddes of the passage (by which Ionathas sought to go ouer vnto the Philistines watch) were there two sharpe rockes euen one on the one syde, & the other on the other syde: the one called Bozez, & the other Senne.

¹⁷ And thou sonne of man: thus sayeth the Lord God. Speake vnto all the foules and euery byrde, yee, and to al the wilde beastes of the felde, heape you together and come, gather you rounde aboute vpon my slaughter, that I haue slayne for you: euen a greate slaughter vpon the mountaynes of Israell eate flesh and drincke bloude. ¹⁸ Ye shall eate the flesh of the worthies, & drinke the bloud of the princes of the lande: of the wethers, of the lambes, of the goates, and of the oxen that be all slayne at Basan. ¹⁹ Eate the fat your belyfull, and drincke bloude, tyll ye be dronken of the slaughter, whych I haue slayne vnto you.

²⁸ For wheresoeuer a deed karkas is, euen thether wyll the Egles also be gathered together.

³⁷ And they answered, and sayd to him, where Lorde. He sayde vnto them: whersoeuer the body shalbe, thyther wyll also that Egles be gathered together.
