CHAP. I. 1 The power and vse of the word of God. 7 Of the feare of God and knowledge of his worde. 10 We may not consent to the entising of sinners. 20 Wisdome complaineth that she is contemned. 24 The punishment of them that contemne her.


1   The Parables of Salomon the sonne of Dauid King of Israel,


2   To knowe wisdome, note and instruction, to vnderstand þe; wordes note of knowledge,


3   To receiue note instruction to do wisely, by note iustice and iudgement and equitie,


4   To giue vnto the note simple, sharpenesse of wit, and to the childe knowledge and discretion.


5   A wise man shall heare and increase in learning, and a man of note vnderstanding shall attayne vnto wise counsels,


6   To vnderstand a parable, & the interpretation, the wordes of þe; wise, and their darke sayings.


7   ¶2; note The feare of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fooles despise wisedome and instruction.


8   My sonne, heare thy note fathers instruction, and forsake not thy note mothers teaching.


9   For they shalbe note a comely ornament vnto thine head, and as chaines for thy necke.


10   ¶2; My sonne, note if sinners doe intise thee, consent thou not.


11   If they say, Come with vs, we will lay waite for note blood, and lie priuilie for the innocent without a cause:


12   We wil swallow them vp aliue like a note graue euen whole, as those that goe downe into the pit:


13   We shall finde all precious riches, and fill our houses with spoyle:


14   Cast in thy lot among vs: we will all haue one note purse:


15   My sonne, walke not thou in the way with them: refraine thy foote from their note path.


16   For their feete runne to euill, & make haste to shed blood.


17   Certainely as without cause the net is spred before the eyes of all that hath wing:


18   So they lay waite for blood and lie priuily for note their liues.


19   Such are the wayes of euery one that is greedy of gaine: he would take away the note life of the owners thereof.


20   ¶2; note Wisdome cryeth without: she vttereth her voyce in the note streetes.


21   She calleth in the hye streete, among the prease in the entrings of the gates, and vttereth her wordes in the citie, saying,


22   O ye note foolish, howe long will ye loue foolishnes? and the scornefull take their pleasure in scorning, and the fooles hate knowledge?


23   (Turne you at my correction: loe, I will powre out my mind vnto you, and make you vnderstand my wordes)


24   Because I haue called, & ye refused: I haue stretched out mine hand, & none woulde regarde.


25   But ye haue despised all my counsell, and would none of my correction.


26   I will also note laugh at your destruction, and mocke, when your feare commeth.


27   Wh&ebar; note your feare c&obar;meth like sudden desolation, & your destruction shall come like a whirle wind: wh&ebar; affliction & anguish shal come vp&obar; you,


28   Then shall they call vpon me, but I will not answere: they shall seeke me early, but they shall not note finde me,


29   Because they hated knowledge, and did not chuse the feare of the Lord.


30   They would none of my counsell, but note despised all my correction.


31   Therefore shal they eate of þe; note fruite of their owne way, and be filled with their owne deuises.


32   For note ease slaieth the foolish, and the prosperitie of fooles destroyeth them.


33   But he that obeyeth me, shall dwell safely, and be quiet from feare of euill.
