¶ The .x. Chapter.
¶ In thys Chapter and in all that folowe vnto
the thyrtye, the wyse man exhorteth by dyuers sentences
whych he calleth Parables, to folowe vertues
and fle vyces: And sheweth also what profet
cometh of wysdome, and what hyndraunce proceadeth
of folyshnesse.
¶ Prouerbes of Salomon.
A &rhand; A wyse note s&obar;ne maketh a glad
father, but an vndiscrete sonne
is an heuynesse vnto hys mother.
noteTreasures þt; are wyckedly
gotten, profyte nothynge:
but ryghteousnesse deliuereth fr&obar; death.
noteThe Lorde wyll not let the soule of the
righteous suffre h&obar;ger, but he taketh awaye
the ryches of þe; vngodlye:An ydle hande
maketh poore, but a quycke labouringe h&abar;de
maketh ryche. (who so regardeth lesynges, fedeth
þe; wynde, and doth but folowe byrdes that haue taken they:
flyght.)
B Who so gathereth in Sommer, is
wyse: but he that is slougysh in haruest, bringeth
him selfe to confusyon. Blessynges are
vpon the heade of the ryghteous, and the
mouth of the vngodly kepeth myschefe in secrete.
noteThe memoryall of the iust shall
haue a good reporte, but the name of the vngodly
shall stincke. A wyse m&abar; will receaue
warnynge, but a pratinge fole shall be punyshed.
noteHe that leadeth an innocent lyfe,
walketh surely: but who so goeth a wronge
waye shalbe knowne. noteHe þt; wynciteth
with his eye, will do some harme: but he that
hath a foolyshe mouth, shalbe beaten. The
mouth of a ryghteous man is a well of lyfe,
but þe; mouth of the vngodly kepeth mischefe
in secrete. Euyll wyll stereth vp stryfe,
note but &rhand; loue couereth þe; multitude of synnes.
In þe; lyppes of him þt; hath vnderstandynge,
a man shall fynde wisdome, but þt; rod
belongeth to þe; backe of the folyshe. Wyse
m&ebar; laye vp knowledge, but þe; mouth of þe; folyshe
is nye destrucci&obar;. The riche m&abar;s goodes
are his stronge holde, but theire awne pouertye
feareth þe; poore. The ryghteous laboureth
-- --
to do good, but the vngodly vseth hys
encrease vnto synne. To take hede vnto þe;
chastenynge of nurtoure, is the waye of lyfe:
but he that refuseth to be refourmed disceaueth
him selfe. noteDissemblynge lyppes kepe
hatred secretely, and he that speaketh any
scla&ubar;der, is a foole. Where moch bablynge
is, there must nedes be offence: and he that
refrayneth his lyppes, is wyse. An innocent
tonge is a noble treasure, but the herte
of the vngodly is nothynge worth. The
lyppes of the ryghteous sede a whole multitude,
but foles shall dye in their awne folye.
The blessynge of the Lorde maketh ryche
men note as for carefull trauayle, it doth nothynge
therto. A fole doth wyckedly and
maketh but a sporte of it, but wysdome ruleth
the man that hath vnderstandynge.
The thynge that the vngodly are afrayed
of, shall come vpon them, but the ryghteous
shall haue their desyre. The vngodly passeth
when the tempest commethe: but the ryghtwyse
remayneth sure for euer. As vyneger
is to the teth,
D and as smoke is vnto the eyes,
euen so is a slougysh personne to them that
sende hym forth. The feare of the Lorde
maketh a l&obar;ge lyfe, but the yeares of the vngodly
shalbe shortened. The pacient abydinge
of þe; ryghteous shalbe turned to gladnesse,
but the hope of the vngodly shall perishe.
The waye of þe; Lorde geueth a courage
vnto the godly, but it is a feare for wycked
doers. noteThe ryghteous shall neuer
be ouerthrowne, but the vngodly, shall not
remayne in the lande. noteThe mouth of
the iust wylbe talkynge of wysdome, but þt;
the tonge of the frowarde shall peryshe.
The lyppes of þe; ryghteous are occupyed
in acceptable thynges, but the mouth of the
vngodly taketh them to the worst.
