CHAP. XXXIIII.
Of dreames. 13 The praise of them that feare God. The offrings
of the wicked. 22 The bread of the needie. 27 God doeth not
allowe the workes of an vnfaithfull man.
1 The hope of a foolish man is vaine and false, note and
dreames make fooles to haue wings.
2 Who so regardeth dreames, is like him that wil
take holde of a shadow, and follow after the winde.
3 Euen so is it with the appearings of dreames,
as the likenes of a face is before another face.
4 Who can be clensed by the vncleane? or what
trueth can be spoken of a liar?
5 Southsayings, witchcraft, and dreaming is but
vanitie, and a minde that is occupied with fantasies,
is as a woman that trauaileth.
6 Where as such visions come not of the most
High to trie thee, set not thine heart vpon them.
7 For dreames haue deceiued many, and they
haue failed that put their trust therein.
8 The Lawe shall be fulfilled without lies, and
wisedome is sufficient to a faithfull mouth: [what
knowledge hath he that is not tried?]
9 A man that is instructed, vnderstandeth
much, and hee that hath good experience, can talke
of wisdome.
10 Hee that hath no experience, knoweth litle,
and he that erreth, is full of craft.
11 When I wandered to and fro, I sawe many
things, and mine vnderstanding is greater then I can
expresse.
12 I was oft times in danger of death, yet I was
deliuered by these things.
13 ¶2; The spirit of those that feare the Lord, shall
liue: for their hope is in him that can helpe them.
14 Who so note feareth the Lorde, feareth no man,
neither is afraide: for he is his hope.
15 Blessed is the soule of him that feareth the
Lorde: in whome putteth hee his trust? who is his
strength?
16 noteFor the eyes of the Lorde haue respect vnto
them, that loue him: he is their note mightie protection,
and strong ground, a defence from the heat, and
a shadowe for the noone day, a succour from stumbling,
and an helpe from falling.
17 Hee setteth vp the soule, and lightneth the
eyes: he giueth health, life and blessing.
-- --
18 ¶2; He that note giueth an offering of vnrighteous
goods, offereth a mocking sacrifice, and the giftes of
the vnrighteous, please not him.
19 [But the Lord is theirs only, that paciently abide
him in the way of trueth and righteousnes.]
20 The most High doeth not alowe the note offerings
of the wicked, note neither is he pacified for sinne
by the multitude of sacrifice.
21 Who so bringeth an offering of the goods of
the poore, doth as one that sacrificeth the sonne before
the fathers eyes.
22 The bread of the needefull is the life of the
poore: he þt; defraudeth him thereof, is a murtherer.
23 Hee that taketh away his neighbours liuing,
slayeth him, note and hee that defraudeth the labourer
of his hire, is a bloodsheader.
24 ¶2; When one buildeth, and another breaketh
downe, what profite haue they then but labour?
25 When one prayeth, and another curseth,
whose voyce will the Lord heare?
26 noteHe þt; washeth himselfe because of a dead body,
& toucheth it againe, what auaileth his washing?
27 noteSo is it with a man that fasteth for his sinnes,
and committeth them againe: who will heare his
prayer? or what doeth his fasting helpe him?
