CHAP. XXV.
1 What things are beautifull, and what hatefull.
6 What is the crowne of age. 7 What
things make men happy. 13 Nothing worse
then a wicked woman.
1
In three things I note was
beautified, and stoode vp
beautiful, both before God
and men: the note vnitie of
brethren, the loue of neighbours,
a man and a wife that agree together.
2
Three sorts of men my soule hateth,
and I am greatly offended at their
life: a poore man that is proud, a rich
man that is a lyar, and an olde adulterer
that doteth.
3
If thou hast gathered nothing in
thy youth, how canst thou finde any
thing in thine age?
4
Oh how comely a thing is iudgement
for gray haires, and for ancient
men to know counsell?
5
Oh how comely is the wisedome
of olde men, and vnderstanding and
counsell to men of honour?
6
Much experience is the crowne of
olde men, and the feare of God is their
glory.
7
There be nine things which I
haue iudged in mine heart to be happy,
and the tenth I will vtter with my
tongue: a man that hath ioy of his children,
and he that liueth to see the fall of
his enemie.
8
Well is him that dwelleth with
a wife of vnderstanding, and that hath
not note slipped with his tongue, and that
hath not serued a man more vnworthy
then himselfe.
9
Well is him that hath found note prudence,
and he that speaketh in the eares
of him that will heare.
10
Oh how great is he that findeth
wisedome! yet is there none aboue him
that feareth the Lord.
11
But the loue of the Lord passeth
all things for illumination: he that holdeth
it, note whereto shall he be likened?
12
The feare of the Lord is the beginning
of his loue: and faith is the beginning
of cleauing vnto him.
13
[Giue mee] any plague, but the
plague of the heart: and any wickednesse,
but the wickednesse of a woman.
14
And any affliction, but the affliction
from them that hate me: and any
reuenge, but the reuenge of enemies.
15
There is no head aboue the head
of a serpent, and there is no wrath aboue
the wrath of an enemie.
16
noteI had rather dwell with a lyon
and a dragon, then to keepe house with
a wicked woman.
17
The wickednesse of a woman
changeth her face, and darkeneth her
countenance like note sackecloth.
18
Her husband shall sit among his
neighbours: and when hee heareth it,
shall sigh bitterly.
19
All wickednesse is but little to the
wickednesse of a woman: let the portion
of a sinner fall vpon her.
20
As the climbing vp a sandie way
is to the feete of the aged, so is a wife
note full of words to a quiet man.
21
noteStumble not at the beautie of a
woman, and desire her not for pleasure.
22
A woman, if shee maintaine her
husband, is full of anger, impudencie,
and much reproch.
23
A wicked woman abateth the
courage, maketh a heauie countenance,
and a wounded heart: a woman that
will not comfort her husband in distresse
-- --
maketh weake hands, and feeble
knees.
24
Of note the woman came the beginning
of sinne, ∧ through her wee all die.
25
Giue the water no passage: neither
a wicked woman libertie to gad abroad.
26
If she goe not as thou wouldest
haue her, cut her off from thy flesh, and
giue her a bill of diuorce, and let her goe.
