13. Et posuit tenebras latibulum suum, in circuitu eius tabernaculum eius: tenebrosa aqua in nubibus aeris. ¶ And he sett myrknesis his tapissynge, in his vmgange his taber|nakile; myrke watere in clowdes of the aeire. ¶ He sett myrk|nesis his tapissynge. that is, in this myrk lyf and dedly, he hid him fra vs, that we may noght se him face til face. bot in luf we ga til him. and in his vmgange is his tabernakile. that is, rightwismen that serues him is next him, and he is ymedis thaim. for he does fauour til ilkan. for myrk watere, that is priue lare and hid, is in the clowdis of the aiere. that is, in the prophetis, and in haly prechours, the whilk ere liftid fra the erth in til contemplacioun, and raynes down godis word till other. Her may we see that nan sould be swa hardy to translate or expound haly writ. bot if he felid the haly gast in him. that is makere of haly writ. for soen sall he erre that is noght led with him.
