Genesis 9:2–10

⁴What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

⁵For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.

⁶Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:

⁷All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;

⁸The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.

^4*What is man, that thou art mindfull of him? and the sonne of man, that thou visitest him?

⁵For thou hast made him a little lower then the Angels; and hast crowned him with glory and honour.

^6*Thou madest him to haue dominion ouer the workes of thy hands; thou hast put all things vnder his feete.

^7†All sheepe and oxen, yea and the beasts of the field.

⁸The foule of the aire, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoeuer passeth through the paths of the seas.

²⁸And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

²⁸And God blessed them, and God said vnto them, ^*Be fruitfull, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it, and haue dominion ouer the fish of the sea, and ouer the foule of the aire, and ouer euery liuing thing that ^†mooueth vpon the earth.

¹⁸And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the earth, and will make them to lie down safely.

^18*And in that day will I make a couenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the foules of heauen, and with the creeping things of the ground: and I will breake the bow and the sword, and the battell out of the earth, and will make them to lie downe safely.

⁷For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:

⁷For euery ^†kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of ^†mankind.

²⁵And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they shall dwell safely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods.

²⁵And I will make with them a couenant of peace, and will cause the euill beasts to cease out of the land: and they shall dwell safely in the wildernesse, and sleepe in the woods.

²²At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.

²³For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field: and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.

²²At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.

^23*For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field: and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.

⁶And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land.

⁶And I wil giue peace in the land, and ye shall lye downe, and none shall make you afraid: and I will ^†rid euill beasts out of the land, ^*neither shall the sword goe through your land.

¹⁹And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.

¹⁹And out of y ^e ground the LORD God formed euery beast of the field, and euery foule of the aire, and brought them vnto ^‖Adam, to see what he would call them: and whatsoeuer Adam called euery liuing creature, that was the name thereof.

⁵And they journeyed: and the terror of God was upon the cities that were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob.

⁵And they iourneyed: and the terrour of God was vpon the cities that were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sonnes of Iacob.

¹²Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.

¹³And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.

¹AND the Lord spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them,

²Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the beasts which ye shall eat among all the beasts that are on the earth.

³Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat.

⁴Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: as the camel, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.

⁵And the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.

⁶And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.

⁷And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you.

⁸Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you.

⁹¶ These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat.

¹⁰And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you:

¹¹They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination.

¹²Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you.

¹³¶ And these are they which ye shall have in abomination among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray,

¹⁴And the vulture, and the kite after his kind;

¹⁵Every raven after his kind;

¹⁶And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind,

¹⁷And the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl,

¹⁸And the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle,

¹⁹And the stork, the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.

²⁰All fowls that creep, going upon all four, shall be an abomination unto you.

²¹Yet these may ye eat of every flying creeping thing that goeth upon all four, which have legs above their feet, to leap withal upon the earth;

²²Even these of them ye may eat; the locust after his kind, and the bald locust after his kind, and the beetle after his kind, and the grasshopper after his kind.

²³But all other flying creeping things, which have four feet, shall be an abomination unto you.

²⁴And for these ye shall be unclean: whosoever toucheth the carcase of them shall be unclean until the even.

²⁵And whosoever beareth ought of the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.

²⁶The carcases of every beast which divideth the hoof, and is not clovenfooted, nor cheweth the cud, are unclean unto you: every one that toucheth them shall be unclean.

²⁷And whatsoever goeth upon his paws, among all manner of beasts that go on all four, those are unclean unto you: whoso toucheth their carcase shall be unclean until the even.

²⁸And he that beareth the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: they are unclean unto you.

²⁹¶ These also shall be unclean unto you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth; the weasel, and the mouse, and the tortoise after his kind,

³⁰And the ferret, and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail, and the mole.

³¹These are unclean to you among all that creep: whosoever doth touch them, when they be dead, shall be unclean until the even.

³²And upon whatsoever any of them, when they are dead, doth fall, it shall be unclean; whether it be any vessel of wood, or raiment, or skin, or sack, whatsoever vessel it be, wherein any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the even; so it shall be cleansed.

³³And every earthen vessel, whereinto any of them falleth, whatsoever is in it shall be unclean; and ye shall break it.

³⁴Of all meat which may be eaten, that on which such water cometh shall be unclean: and all drink that may be drunk in every such vessel shall be unclean.

³⁵And every thing whereupon any part of their carcase falleth shall be unclean; whether it be oven, or ranges for pots, they shall be broken down: for they are unclean, and shall be unclean unto you.

³⁶Nevertheless a fountain or pit, wherein there is plenty of water, shall be clean: but that which toucheth their carcase shall be unclean.

³⁷And if any part of their carcase fall upon any sowing seed which is to be sown, it shall be clean.

³⁸But if any water be put upon the seed, and any part of their carcase fall thereon, it shall be unclean unto you.

³⁹And if any beast, of which ye may eat, die; he that toucheth the carcase thereof shall be unclean until the even.

⁴⁰And he that eateth of the carcase of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: he also that beareth the carcase of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.

⁴¹And every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth shall be an abomination; it shall not be eaten.

⁴²Whatsoever goeth upon the belly, and whatsoever goeth upon all four, or whatsoever hath more feet among all creeping things that creep upon the earth, them ye shall not eat; for they are an abomination.

⁴³Ye shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creepeth, neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should be defiled thereby.

⁴⁴For I am the Lord your God: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy: neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

⁴⁵For I am the Lord that bringeth you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.

⁴⁶This is the law of the beasts, and of the fowl, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and of every creature that creepeth upon the earth:

⁴⁷To make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the beast that may be eaten and the beast that may not be eaten.

¹¶ And the LORD spake vnto Moses, and to Aaron, saying vnto them,

²Speake vnto the children of Israel, saying, ^*These are the beasts which ye shal eat among all the beasts that are on the earth:

³Whatsoever parteth the hoofe, and is clouen footed, & cheweth cud among the beasts, that shall ye eate.

⁴Neuerthelesse, these shall ye not eate, of them that chewe the cud, or of them that diuide the hoofe: as the camel, because hee cheweth the cud, but diuideth not the hoofe, he is vncleane vnto you.

⁵And the conie, because he cheweth the cud, but diuideth not the hoofe, he is vncleane vnto you.

⁶And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but diuideth not the hoofe, he is vncleane vnto you.

⁷And ^*the swine, though he diuide the hoofe, and be clouen footed, yet hee cheweth not the cud: he is vncleane to you.

⁸Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch: they are vncleane to you.

⁹¶ These shal ye eat, of all that are in the waters: whatsoeuer hath finnes and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the riuers, them shall ye eate.

¹⁰And all that haue not finnes nor scales in the seas, and in the riuers, of all that moue in the waters, and of any liuing thing which is in the waters, they shalbe an abomination vnto you:

¹¹They shalbe euen an abomination vnto you: ye shall not eat of their flesh, but you shall haue their carcases in abomination.

¹²Whatsoeuer hath no finnes nor scales in the waters, that shalbe an abomination vnto you.

¹³¶ And these are they which ye shall haue in abomination among the foules, they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: The Eagle, and the Ossifrage, and the Ospray,

¹⁴And the Uulture, and the Kite, after his kinde:

¹⁵Euery Rauen after his kinde:

¹⁶And the Owle, and the nighthauke, & the Cuckow, and the Hawke after his kinde,

¹⁷And the little Owle, and the Cormorant, and the great Owle,

¹⁸And the Swanne, and the Pellicane, and the Gier-eagle,

¹⁹And the Storke, the Heron after her kinde, and the Lapwing, and the Batte.

²⁰All foules that creepe, going vpon all foure, shalbe an abomination vnto you.

²¹Yet these may ye eat, of euery flying creeping thing that goeth vpon all foure, which haue legges aboue their feet, to leape withall vpon the earth.

²²Euen these of them ye may eate: the Locust, after his kinde, and the Bald-locust after his kinde, and the Beetle after his kinde, and the Grassehopper after his kinde.

²³But al other flying creeping things which haue foure feet, shall be an abomination vnto you.

²⁴And for these ye shalbe vncleane: whosoeuer toucheth the carkasse of them, shall be vncleane vntill the euen.

²⁵And whosoeuer beareth ought of the carkasse of them, shall wash his clothes, & be vncleane vntill the euen.

²⁶The carkasses of euery beast which diuideth the hoofe, and is not clouen footed, nor cheweth the cud, are vncleane vnto you: euery one that toucheth them, shalbe vncleane.

²⁷And whatsoeuer goeth vpon his pawes, among all maner of beasts, that goe on all foure, those are vncleane vnto you: who so toucheth their carkasse, shall be vncleane vntill the Euen.

²⁸And he that beareth the carkasse of them, shall wash his clothes, and be vncleane vntill the Euen: they are vncleane vnto you.

²⁹¶ These also shalbe vncleane vnto you, among the creeping things that creepe vpon the earth: the Weasell, and the Mouse, and the Tortois, after his kinde,

³⁰And the Ferret, and the Cameleon, and the Lyzard, and the Snaile, and the Molle.

³¹These are vncleane to you among all that creepe: whosoeuer doth touch them when they bee dead, shall be vncleane vntill the Euen.

³²And vpon whatsoeuer any of them, when they are dead, doeth fall, it shalbe vncleane, whether it be any vessel of wood, or raiment, or skinne, or sacke, whatsoeuer vessell it be, wherein any worke is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be vncleane vntill the Euen; so it shalbe cleansed.

³³And euery earthen vessel, whereinto any of them falleth, whatsoeuer is in it shall bee vncleane; and ^*yee shall breake it.

³⁴Of all meat which may be eaten, that on which such water commeth, shall be vncleane: And all drinke that may be drunkein euery such vessell, shalbe vncleane.

³⁵And euery thing, whereupon any part of their carkasse falleth, shall be vncleane, whether it be ouen, or ranges for pots, they shalbe broken downe: for they are vncleane, and shall be vncleane vnto you.

³⁶Neuerthelesse, a fountaine or pit, ^† wherein there is plenty of water, shalbe cleane: but that which toucheth their carkasse shalbe vncleane.

³⁷And if any part of their carkasse fall vpon any sowing seed which is to be sowen, it shalbe cleane:

³⁸But if any water be put vpon the seed, and any part of their carkasse fall thereon, it shalbe vncleane vnto you.

³⁹And if any beast of which ye may eat, die, he that toucheth the carkasse thereof, shall be vncleane vntill the Euen.

⁴⁰And hee that eateth of the carkasse of it, shall wash his clothes, and be vncleane vntil the Euen: he also that beareth the carkasse of it, shal wash his clothes, and bee vncleane vntill the Euen.

⁴¹And euery creeping thing that creepeth vpon the earth, shalbe an abomination: it shall not be eaten.

⁴²Whatsoeuer goeth vpon the bellie, and whatsoeuer goeth vpon all foure, or whatsoeuer ^†hath more feet among all creeping things that creepe vpon the earth, them ye shall not eate, for they are an abomination.

⁴³Yee shall not make your selues abominable with any creeping thing that creepeth, neither shall ye make your ^†selues vncleane with them, that ye should be defiled thereby.

⁴⁴For I am the LORD your God: yee shall therefore sanctifie your selues, and ^*ye shall be holy, for I am holy: neither shall ye defile your selues with any maner of creeping thing that creepeth vpon the earth.

⁴⁵For I am the LORD that bringeth you vp out of the land of Egypt to be your God: ye shal therefore be holy, for I am holy.

⁴⁶This is the law of the beasts, and of the foule, and of euery liuing creature that moueth in the waters, and of euerie creature that creepeth vpon the earth:

⁴⁷To make a difference betweene the vncleane and the cleane, & betweene the beast that may be eaten, and the beast that may not be eaten.

⁸That which dieth of itself, or is torn with beasts, he shall not eat to defile himself therewith: I am the Lord.

^8*That which dieth of it selfe, or is torne with beasts, hee shall not eate to defile himselfe therewith: I am the LORD.

¹⁷For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

¹⁷For the kingdome of God is not meat and drinke; but righteousnes, and peace, and ioy in the holy Ghost.

²⁰For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.

²⁰For meat, destroy not the worke of God: all ^*things indeed are pure; but it is euill for that man who eateth with offence.

³Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.

³Let not him that eateth, despise him that eateth not: and let not him which eateth not, iudge him that eateth. For God hath receiued him.

³¶ Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing.

⁴These are the beasts which ye shall eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat,

⁵The hart, and the roebuck, and the fallow deer, and the wild goat, and the pygarg, and the wild ox, and the chamois.

⁶And every beast that parteth the hoof, and cleaveth the cleft into two claws, and cheweth the cud among the beasts, that ye shall eat.

⁷Nevertheless these ye shall not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the cloven hoof; as the camel, and the hare, and the coney: for they chew the cud, but divide not the hoof; therefore they are unclean unto you.

⁸And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it is unclean unto you: ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcase.

⁹¶ These ye shall eat of all that are in the waters: all that have fins and scales shall ye eat:

¹⁰And whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye may not eat; it is unclean unto you.

¹¹¶ Of all clean birds ye shall eat.

¹²But these are they of which ye shall not eat: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray,

¹³And the glede, and the kite, and the vulture after his kind,

¹⁴And every raven after his kind,

¹⁵And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind,

¹⁶The little owl, and the great owl, and the swan,

¹⁷And the pelican, and the gier eagle, and the cormorant,

¹⁸And the stork, and the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.

¹⁹And every creeping thing that flieth is unclean unto you: they shall not be eaten.

²⁰But of all clean fowls ye may eat.

²¹¶ Ye shall not eat of any thing that dieth of itself: thou shalt give it unto the stranger that is in thy gates, that he may eat it; or thou mayest sell it unto an alien: for thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother’s milk.

³¶ Thou shalt not eate any abominable thing.

^4*These are the beasts which yee shall eate: the oxe, the sheepe, and the goat,

⁵The Hart, and the Roe bucke, and the fallow deere, and the wilde goat, and the ^‖Pygarg, and the wilde oxe, and the chamois.

⁶And euery beast that parteth the hoofe, and cleaueth the clift into two clawes, and cheweth the cud amongst the beasts: that ye shall eate.

⁷Neuerthelesse these yee shall not eate, of them that chew the cud, or of them that diuide the clouen hoofe, as the camel, and the hare, and the cony: for they chew the cudde, but diuide not the hoofe, therefore they are vncleane vnto you.

⁸And the swine, because it diuideth the hoofe, yet cheweth not the cud, it is vncleane vnto you: ye shall not eate of their flesh, nor touch their dead carkeise.

⁹¶ ^*These yee shall eate of all that are in the waters: all that haue finnes and scales shall ye eate:

¹⁰And whatsoeuer hath not sinnes and scales, ye may not eat: it is vncleane vnto you.

¹¹¶ Of all cleane birds ye shall eate.

¹²But these are they of which ye shall not eat: the Eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray,

¹³And the glede, and the kite, and the vulture after his kinde,

¹⁴And euery rauen after his kinde,

¹⁵And the owle, & the night hawke, and the cuckow, and the hawke after his kinde,

¹⁶The little owle, and the great owle, and the swanne,

¹⁷And the pellicane, and the Geer-eagle, and the cormorant,

¹⁸And the Storke, and the Heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the ^*batte.

¹⁹And euery creeping thing that flyeth, is vncleane vnto you: they shall not be eaten.

²⁰ But of all cleane foules ye may eat.

²¹¶ Ye shall not eate of any thing that dieth of it selfe: thou shalt giue it vnto the stranger that is in thy gates, that he may eate it, or thou mayest sell it vnto an alien: for thou art an holy people vnto the LORD thy God. ^*Thou shalt not seethe a kidde in his mothers milke.

²³Only be sure that thou eat not the blood: for the blood is the life; and thou mayest not eat the life with the flesh.

²³Onely ^†be sure that thou eate not the blood: for the blood is the life, and thou mayest not eate the life with the flesh.

¹⁶Only ye shall not eat the blood; ye shall pour it upon the earth as water.

^16*Onely ye shall not eat the blood: yee shall powre it vpon the earth as water.

²³Only thou shalt not eat the blood thereof; thou shalt pour it upon the ground as water.

^23*Onely thou shalt not eate the blood thereof: thou shalt powre it vpon the ground as water.

²⁰But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.

²⁰But that wee write vnto them, that they abstaine from pollutions of Idoles, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.

²⁶Moreover ye shall eat no manner of blood, whether it be of fowl or of beast, in any of your dwellings.

^26*Moreouer ye shall eat no maner of blood, whether it bee of foule or of beast in any of your dwellings.

²⁹That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.

²⁹That ye abstaine from meates offered to idoles, and from blood, & from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keepe your selues, yee shall doe well. Fare ye well.

¹⁰¶ And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood; I will even set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people.

¹¹For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.

⁵Who hath layd the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line vpon it?

⁶Wherepuon are the ^†foundations thereof ^†fastened? or who layd the corner stone thereof?

⁷When the morning starres sang together, and all the sonnes of God shouted for ioy.

^8*Or who shut vp the sea with doores, when it brake foorth as if it had issued out of the wombe?

⁹When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thicke darknesse a swadling band for it,

¹⁰And ^‖brake vp for it my decreed place, and set barres and doores,

¹¹And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and heere shall ^†thy proud waues be stayed.

¹²Hast thou commaunded the morning since thy daies? and caused the day-spring to know his place,

¹³That it might take hold of the ^†endes of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?

¹⁴It is turned as clay to the seale, and they stand as a garment.

¹⁵And from the wicked their light is withholden, and the high arme shalbe broken.

¹⁶Hast thou entred into the springs of the sea? or hast thou walked in the search of the depth?

¹⁷Haue the gates of death bene opened vnto thee? or hast thou seene the doores of the shadow of death?

¹⁸Hast thou perceiued the breadth of the earth? Declare if thou knowest it all.

¹⁹Where is the way where light dwelleth? And as for darknesse, where is the place thereof?

²⁰That thou shouldest take it ^‖to the bound thereof, and that thou shouldest know the pathes to the house thereof.

²¹Knowest thou it, because thou wast then borne? or because the number of thy daies is great?

²²Hast thou entred into the treasures of the snowe? or hast thou seene the treasures of the haile,

²³Which I haue reserued against the time of trouble, against the day of battaile and warre?

²⁴By what way is the light parted? which scattereth the East wind vpon the earth.

²⁵Who hath diuided a water-course for the ouerflowing of waters? or a way for the lightning of thunder,

²⁶To cause it to raine on the earth, where no man is: on the wildernesse wherein there is no man?

²⁷To satisfie the desolate and waste ground, and to cause the bud of the tender herbe to spring forth.

²⁸Hath the raine a father? or who hath begotten the drops of dew?

²⁹Out of whose wombe came the yce? and the hoary frost of heauen, who hath gendred it?

³⁰The waters are hid as with a stone, and the face of the deepe ^†is frozen.

³¹Canst thou bind the sweete influences of ^‖Pleiades? or loose the bands of ^†Orion?

³²Canst thou bring forth ^‖Mazzaroth in his season, or canst thou ^†guide Arcturus with his sonnes?

³³Knowest thou the ordinances of heauen? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth?

³⁴Canst thou lift vp thy voice to the cloudes, that abundance of waters may couer thee?

³⁵Canst thou send lightnings, that they may goe, and say vnto thee, ^†Here we are?

^36*Who hath put wisedome in the inward parts? or who hath giuen vnderstanding to the heart?

³⁷Who can number the cloudes in wisedome? or ^†who can stay the bottles of heauen,

^38‖When the dust ^†groweeh into hardnesse, and the clods cleaue fast together?

^39*Wilt thou hunt the pray for the lyon? or fill the ^†appetite of the young lyons,

⁴⁰When they couch in their dennes, and abide in the couert to lie in waite?

^41*Who prouideth for the rauen his foode? when his young ones cry vnto God, they wander for lacke of meate.

¹CANST thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down?

²Canst thou put an hook into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a thorn?

³Will he make many supplications unto thee? will he speak soft words unto thee?

⁴Will he make a covenant with thee? wilt thou take him for a servant for ever?

⁵Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens?

⁶Shall the companions make a banquet of him? shall they part him among the merchants?

⁷Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head with fish spears?

⁸Lay thine hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more.

⁹Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him?

¹⁰None is so fierce that dare stir him up: who then is able to stand before me?

¹¹Who hath prevented me, that I should repay him? whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine.

¹²I will not conceal his parts, nor his power, nor his comely proportion.

¹³Who can discover the face of his garment? or who can come to him with his double bridle?

¹⁴Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth are terrible round about.

¹⁵His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal.

¹⁶One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.

¹⁷They are joined one to another, they stick together, that they cannot be sundered.

¹⁸By his neesings a light doth shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.

¹⁹Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out.

²⁰Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron.

²¹His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth.

²²In his neck remaineth strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him.

²³The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are firm in themselves; they cannot be moved.

²⁴His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a piece of the nether millstone.

²⁵When he raiseth up himself, the mighty are afraid: by reason of breakings they purify themselves.

²⁶The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold: the spear, the dart, nor the habergeon.

²⁷He esteemeth iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood.

²⁸The arrow cannot make him flee: slingstones are turned with him into stubble.

²⁹Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the shaking of a spear.

³⁰Sharp stones are under him: he spreadeth sharp pointed things upon the mire.

³¹He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: he maketh the sea like a pot of ointment.

³²He maketh a path to shine after him; one would think the deep to be hoary.

³³Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear.

³⁴He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride.

¹¶ Canst thou draw out ^†Leuiathan with an hooke? or his tongue with a corde ^† which thou lettest downe?

²Canst thou put an hooke into his nose? or bore his iawe through with a thorne?

³Will he make many supplications vnto thee? will he speake soft words vnto thee?

⁴Will he make a couenant with thee? wilt thou take him for a seruant for euer?

⁵Wilt thou play with him as with a birde? wilt thou binde him for thy maydens?

⁶Shall the companions make a banquet of him? shall they part him among the merchants?

⁷Canst thou fill his skinne with barbed irons? or his head with fishspeares?

⁸Lay thine hand vpon him, remember the battell: doe no more.

⁹Behold, the hope of him is in vaine: shall not one be cast downe euen at the sight of him?

¹⁰None is so fierce that dare stirre him vp: who then is able to stand before me?

^11*Who hath preuented me that I should repay him? whatsoeuer is vnder the whole heauen, is mine.

¹²I will not conceale his parts, nor his power, nor his comely proportion.

¹³Who can discouer the face of his garment? or who can come to him, ^‖with his double bridle?

¹⁴Who can open the doores of his face? his teeth are terrible round about.

¹⁵ His ^†scales are his pride, shut vp together as with a close seale.

¹⁶One is so neere to another, that no ayre can come betweene them.

¹⁷They are ioyned one to another, they sticke together, that they cannot be sundred.

¹⁸By his neesings a light doth shine, and his eyes are like the eye-liddes of the morning.

¹⁹Out of his mouth goe burning lampes, and sparkes of fire leape out.

²⁰Out of his nostrels goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron.

²¹His breath kindleth coales, and a flame goeth out of his mouth.

²²In his necke remaineth strength, and ^†sorrowe is turned into ioy before him.

^23†The flakes of his flesh are ioyned together: they are firme in themselues, they cannot be moued.

²⁴His heart is as firme as a stone, yea as hard as a peece of the nether mil-stone.

²⁵When he rayseth vp himselfe, the mightie are afraid: by reason of breakings they purifie themselues.

²⁶The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold: the speare, the dart, nor the ^‖habergeon.

²⁷He esteemeth iron as straw, and brasse as rotten wood.

²⁸The arrow cannot make him flee: sling-stones are turned with him into stubble.

²⁹Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the shaking of a speare.

^30†Sharpe stones are vnder him: he spreadeth sharpe pointed things vpon the mire.

³¹He maketh the deepe to boyle like a pot: hee maketh the sea like a pot of oyntment.

³²Hee maketh a path to shine after him; one would thinke the deepe to bee hoarie.

³³Upon earth there is not his like: ^‖who is made without feare.

³⁴He beholdeth all high things: he is a king ouer all the children of pride.

¹¹And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle?

¹¹And should not I spare Nineueh that great citie, wherein are more then sixscore thousand persons, that cannot discerne betweene their right hand and their left hand, and also much cattell?

⁵Thy mercy, O Lord, is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds.

⁶Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: O Lord, thou preservest man and beast.

^5*Thy mercie (O LORD) is in the heauens; and thy faithfulnesse reacheth vnto the cloudes.

^6†Thy righteousnesse is like the great mountaines; thy iudgements are a great deepe; O LORD, thou preseruest man and beast.
