CHAP. IX.
Of ielousie. 12 An olde friend is to be preferred before a news. 18
Righteous men should he bidden to thy table.
1 Be not ielous ouer thy wife of thy bosome, neyther
teach her by thy meanes an euill lesson.
2 Giue not thy life vnto a woman, lest shee ouercome
thy strength, [& so thou be c&obar;founded.]
3 Meete not an harlot, least thou fall into her
snares.
4 Vse not the companie of a woman that is a
singer, [and a dancer, neither heare her,] least thou
be taken by her craftines.
5 Gaze not on a note mayde, that thou fal not by
that that is precious in her.
6 noteCast not thy minde vpon harlots [in any
maner of thing,] least thou destroy [both thy selfe
and] thine heritage.
7 Goe not about gazing in the streetes of the
citie, neyther wander thou in the secrete places
thereof.
8 noteTurne away thine eye from a beautiful woman,
and looke not vpon others beautie: for many
note haue perished by the beautie of women: for
through it loue is kindled as a fire.
9 [Euery woman that is an harlot, shalbe troden
vnder foote as dongue, of euery one that goeth
by the way.
10 Many wondering at the beautie of a strange
woman, haue bene cast out: for her wordes burne
as a fire.]
11 Sit not at all with another mans wife, [neyther
lye with her vpon the bed, [nor banket with
her, lest thine heart incline vnto her, & so through
thy desire fall into destruction.
12 ¶2; Forsake not an olde friende: for the newe
shal not be like him: a newe friend is as newe wine:
when it is olde, thou shalt drinke it with pleasure.
13 noteDesire not the honour [and riches] of a sinner:
for thou knowest not what shalbe his ende.
14 Delite not in the thing that þe; vngodly haue
pleasure in, but remember that they shall not bee
found iust vnto their graue.
15 Keepe thee from the man that hath power
to slay: so shalt thou not doubt the feare of death:
and if thou come vnto him, make no fault, least he
take away thy life: remember that thou goest in the
middes of snares, and that thou walkest vpon the
towres of the citie.
16 Trye thy neighbour as neere as thou canst,
note and aske counsell of the wise.
17 noteLet thy talke be with the wise, and all thy
communication in the Lawe of the most High.
18 Let iust men eate & drinke with thee, & let
thy reioycing be in the feare of the Lord.
19 In note the handes of the crafcesmen shall the
workes be commended, and the wise prince of the
people by his worde, [and the worde by the wisedome
of the Elders.]
20 A man ful of words is dangerous in his citie,
and he that is rash in his talking, shalbe hated.
