God at all times.
8. For howsoeuer a man, making a faier shew of godli∣nes doth by euil meanes treasure vp riches, while God doth winck at it: yet what confidence can he haue, when God shal call forth his soule to appeare before his tribunal seat, draw∣ing it out of his body, as it were, a sword out of a sheath? 9. wil God giue eare vnto him, when he doth mainly cry out in these his troubles? 10 Is it possible that he should com∣fort him selfe with the remembrance of him, whom so often he hath prouoked by his hipocriticall dissembling? and will he daie by day call vpon him?
11 J vvill teach you the hand of God, and I wil not conceale those things (which are) with the almightie.
12 Behold all you haue seene: and why doe you thus vanish in vanitie?
11 In a worde, that you may perceiue, that the admini∣stration of things, which is onlie in Gods hand, is not denied of me, I will laie open those workes of God before you, in the performing vvhereof, wee may clearely see his infinite povvre: and I will make it plaine, that there are vvith God things far more secret & hidden. 12. And vvhereas you your selues haue seene all things vvith your ovvne eies, as appea∣reth by your speeches, I maruell hovv it commeth to passe, that you bring against me so vaine and trifling arguments.
13 This is the portion of a wicked man with God, & the inhe∣ritance of tyrantes, which they shall receiue of the almightie.
14 Jf his children be manie in number, they (shall be manie in number) for the sword; and his ofspring shall not be satisfied with bread.
15 His remnant shall be buried in death, and his widowes shall not weepe.
16 Jf he haue heaped vp siluer as the dust, and hath prepared raiment as the claie,
17 He may prepare (it) but the iust shall put it on: and the in∣nocent shall deuide (his) siluer.
18 He may build his house as the mothe, and as a lodge (vvhich) the watchman maketh.
19 The rich man shall lie, and shal not be gathered: he hath opened his eies and there was not anie thing.
