CHAP. XIIII.
1 The offence of the tongue. 17 Man is but a vaine thing. 21
Happie is he that continueth in wisedome.
1 Blessed is the man note that hath not fallen by [the
worde of] his mouth, and is not tormented
with the sorow of sinne.
2 Blessed is he that is not condemned in his c&obar;science,
and is not fallen from his hope in the Lord.
3 Riches are not comely for a nigard, & what
should an enuious man do with money?
4 Hee that gathereth together from his owne
soule, heapeth together for others, that will make
good cheare with his goods.
5 He that is wicked vnto himselfe, to whome
will he be good? for such one can haue no pleasure
of his goods.
6 There is nothing worse, then when one enuieth
himselfe: and this is a reward of his wickednes.
7 And if he do any good, he doth it, not knowing
thereof, and against his will, and at the last he
declareth his wickednes.
8 The enuious man hath a wicked looke: hee
turneth away his face, and despiseth men.
9 A couetous mans eye hath neuer ynough of a
portion, and his wicked malice withereth his owne
soule.
10 A note wicked eye enuieth the bread, and there
is scarcenesse vpon his table.
11 My sonne, do good to thy selfe of that thou
hast, and giue the Lord his due offrings.
12 Remember that death tarieth not, and that
the couenant of the graue is not shewed vnto thee.
13 noteDo good vnto thy friend before thou dye,
and according to thine habilitie stretche out thine
hand, and giue him.
14 Defraude not thy selfe of the good day, & let
not the portion of the good desires ouerpasse thee.
15 Shalt thou not leaue thy traueiles vnto another,
& thy labours for the deuiding of þe; heritage?
16 Giue and take & sanctifie thy soule: [worke
thou righteousnes before thy death:] for in the hell
there is no meate to finde.
17 ¶2; note All flesh waxeth olde, as a garment, and
this is the condition of all times, Thou shalt die the
death.
18 As the greene leaues on a thicke tree, some
fall, & some growe, so is the generation of flesh and
blood: one c&obar;meth to an end, & another is borne.
19 All corruptible things shall fayle, and the
worker thereof shal go withall.
20 [Euery excellent worke shalbe iustified, and
he that worketh it, shal haue honour thereby.]
21 noteBlessed is the man that doeth meditate honest
things by wisedome, [and exerciseth himselfe
in iustice,] and he that reasoneth of holy things by
his vnderstanding,
22 Which considereth in his heart her wayes,
and vnderstandeth her secrets.
23 Goe thou after her as one that seeketh her
out, and lye in wayte in her wayes.
24 He shal looke in at her windowes, and hearken
at her doores.
25 He shall abide beside her house, and fasten a
stake in her walles: he shal pitch his tent besides her
26 And he shal remaine in the lodging of good
men, and shall set his children vnder her couering,
and shal dwell vnder her branches.
27 By her he shalbe couered from the heate, &
in her glory shall he dwell.
