Chap. I.
Parables are profitable to those that loue and wil lerne wisdom. note 10. Al are
admonished not to folow the alurements of sinners: 20. but to embrace
wisdome; 24. and ruine is threatned to the contemners.
1 The Parables of Salomon, the sonne of Dauid,
king of Israel.
2 noteTo know09Q0278 wisdom, and discipline:
3 to vnderstand the wordes of prudence:
and to receiue instruction of doctrine, iustice, and
iudgement, and equitie:
4 that note subtilitie may be geuen to
litle ones, knowlege and vnderstanding to the youngman.
5 The note wise man hearing shal be wiser: and he that vnderstandeth,
note shal possesse gouernementes.
6 He shal vnderstand
a parable, and interpretation, the wordes of the wise, and their
darke sayings.
7 noteThe feare of our Lord is the begynning of
wisdom. Fooles despise wisedom and doctrine.
8 My sonne,
note heare the discipline of thy father, and leaue not the lawe of
thy mother:
9 that grace may be added to thy head, and a
cheyne of gold to thy necke.
10 My sonne, note if sinners shal
entise thee, condescend not to them.
11 If they shal say: Come
with vs, let vs lye in waite for bloud, let vs hide snares against
the innocent without cause:
12 let vs swalow him aliue as hel,
and whole as one descending into the lake.
13 We shal finde al
precious substance, we shal fil our house with spoiles.
14 Cast in
thy lot with vs, let there be one purse of vs al.
15 My sonne,
walke not with them, stay thy foote from their pathes.
16 For
their feete runne to euil, and make haste to shede bloud.
17 But
note a nette is cast in vayne before the eies of them that haue
winges.
18 Them selues also lye in wayte against their owne
-- --
bloud & practise deceites against their owne soules.
19 So the
pathes of euerie couetous man, take violently the soules of
the possessors.
20 Wisdom preacheth abrode, she geueth her
voice in the streates:
21 In the head of multitudes she cryeth,
in the doores of the gates of the citie she vttereth her wordes,
saying:
22 O children how long doe you loue infancie, and
fooles couet those thinges, which are hurtful to them selues,
and the vnwise hate knowlege?
23 Turne ye at my correption:
behold I wil vtter my spirite to you, and wil shewe you my
wordes
24 09Q0279Because I called, and you refused: I streched
out my hand, and there was none that regarded.
25 You haue
despised al my counsel, and haue neglected my reprehensions.
26 I also wil laugh in your destruction, and wil scorne,
when that shal come to you, which you feared.
27 When
soden calamitie shal fal on you, and destruction, as a tempest
shal be at hand: when tribulation, and distresse shal come
vpon you:
28 Then shal they inuocate me, and I wil not
heare: in the morning shal they arise, and shal not finde me:
29 for that they haue hated discipline, and not receiued the
feare of our Lord,
30 nor consented to my counsel, & detracted
from al my correption.
31 They shal eate therefore the fruites
of their way, and shal be filled with their owne counsels.
32 The auersion of litle ones shal kil them, and the prosperitie
of fooles shal destroy them.
33 09Q0280But he that shal heare me,
shal rest without terrour, and shal enioy abundance, feare of
euils being taken away.
