Job — Chapter 31
These annotations are from the original 1609 Douay Old Testament, the first complete English Catholic Bible translation, produced by English scholars in exile at the English College of Douai. The archaic spelling is preserved.
This content was digitized from the original 1609 Douay (Old Testament) and 1582 Rheims (New Testament) print editions by OCR. The OCR process sometimes confused print page numbers with verse numbers, and may have assigned annotations to the wrong chapter. Chapter and verse labels on this page reflect the OCR output from the original print pagination and may not correspond to canonical Scripture chapter/verse numbers. For canonical reference, consult a standard Douay-Rheims edition. The annotation texts themselves are authentic 1609/1582 Douay-Rheims content.

Verse 26
By this de- mand he pro- uoked his ad- uersaries to produce what they could to conuince him of idolatrie or denying God, wherwith they indirectly charged him.
Verse 35
Iob dispu- ted no more with his freinds but afterward submitted him- self to God, ac- knowledging some vnadui- sed speach.
