¶ The .ix. Chapter.
¶ Wysdome moueth all men to embrace her. The
propertye of a whole.
A Wysdome hath buylded her selfe
&rhand; an house, ∧ hewen out seuen
pyllers: she hath kylled her vitayles,
powred out her wyne, ∧
prepared her table. She hath
sent forth her maydens to crye vpon þe; hyest
place of the cytie: Who so is ignoraunt, let
hym come hyther. And to the vnwyse she
sayde:
B O come on your waye, eate my bread,
and drincke my wyne, which I haue poured
out for you. Forsake ignoraunce, and ye
shall lyue: and se that ye go in the waye of
vnderstandynge. Who so reproueth a scornefull
personne, getteth him selfe dishonoure:
and he that rebuketh the vngodly, stayneth
him selfe. Reproue not &rhand; a scorner
lest he owe the euell wyll: but rebuke a wyse
man, and he wyll loue the. Geue a discrete
man but an occasyon,
C and he wylbe þe; wyser:
teache a ryghteous m&abar;, and he wyll increase
in knowledge. noteThe feare of the Lorde is
þe; beginnynge of wysdome, ∧ the knowledge
of holy thynges is vnderstandynge. For
thorowe me thy dayes shalbe prol&obar;ged, and
the yeares of thy lyfe shalbe many. If thou
be wyse, thy wisdome shall do thy selfe good
but yf thou thynkest scorne therof, it shalbe
thyne awne harme. A folyshe restlesse woman,
full of wordes, and soch a one as hath
no knowledge, sytteth at þe; dore of her house,
and in the hye places of the cyte, to call soch
as go by, and that walke streyght in theyr
wayes. Who so is ignoraunt (sayth she)
let hym come hyther, and to the vnwyse she
sayeth: stollen waters are swete, and þe; bread
that is preuely eaten, hath a good taste.
And he doth not consydre, that they are
but deed which be there, and that her gestes
are in the depe of hell. (for he that wyll be ioyned
vnto her, shall go downe to hell: but he that auoydeth from
her, shalbe saued.
