CHAP. IX.
1 We are aduised how to vse our wiues. 3
What women to auoide. 10 And not to
change an old friend. 13 Not to be familiar
with men in authority, 14 But to knowe
our neighbours, 15 And to conuerse
with wise men.
1
Be not iealous ouer the
wife of thy bosome, and
teach her not an euil lesson
against thy selfe.
2
Giue not thy soule
vnto a woman, to set her foot vpon thy
substance.
3
Meete not with an harlot, least
thou fall into her snares.
4
Use not much the companie of a
woman that note is a singer, least thou be taken
with her attempts.
5
Gaze not on a maide, that thou fall
not by those things, that are pretious in
her.
6
Giue not thy soule vnto harlots,
that thou loose not thine inheritance.
7
Looke not round about thee, in
the streets of the citie, neither wander
thou in the solitary places thereof.
8
noteTurne away thine eye from a
beautifull woman, and looke not vpon
anothers beautie: for many haue beene
deceiued by the beautie of a woman, for
heerewith loue is kindled as a fire.
9
Sit not at all with another mans
wife, nor sit downe with her in thine
armes, and spend not thy money with
her at the wine, least thine heart incline
vnto her, and so thorough thy desire thou
fall into destruction.
10
Forsake not an old friend, for the
new is not comparable to him: a new
friend is as new wine: when it is old,
thou shalt drinke it with pleasure.
11
Enuy not the glory of a sinner: for
thou knowest not what shall be his end.
12
Delight not in the thing that the
vngodly haue pleasure in, but remember
they shall not goe vnpunished vnto
their graue.
13
Keepe thee farre from the man
that hath power to kill, so shalt thou
not doubt the feare of death: and if thou
come vnto him, make no fault, least he
take away thy life presently: remember
that thou goest in the midst of snares,
and that thou walkest vpon the battlements
of the citie.
14
As neere as thou canst, ghesse at
thy neighbour, and consult with the
wise.
15
Let thy talke be with the wise, and
all thy communication in the law of the
most high.
16
And let iust men eate and drinke
with thee, and let thy glorying be in the
feare of the Lord.
17
For the hand of the artificer, the
worke shall be commended: and the
wise ruler of the people, for his speech.
18
A man of an ill tongue is dangerous
in his citie, and he that is rash in his
talke shall be hated.
