Chap. III.
wisdom exhorteth to kepe Gods law (geuing long life) to obserue mercie,
and truth. 5. to confide in God, 7. to feare, 9. and honour him, 11. to
take his correction gladly (13. for al good thinges folow wisdom) 27. to
releue the needie without delay, 30. not to contend with the wicked, nor to
imitate them. 33. The euil shal faile, and the godlie shal prosper.
1 My sonne, note forget not my law, and let thy note hart keepe
my precepts.
2 For they shal adde to thee length of
-- --
dayes, and yeares of life, and peace.
3 Let not note mercie and
truth leaue thee, put them about thy throte, and write them in
the tables of thy hart:
4 and thou shalt finde grace, and good
discipline before God and men.
5 noteHaue confidence in our
Lord with al thy hart, and leane not vpon thyne owne prudence.
6 In al thy wayes thinke on him, and he wil direct thy
steppes.
7 Be not wise in thyne owne conceipte: feare God,
and depart from euil:
8 for it shal be health to thy nauil,
and watering of thy bones.
9 Honour our Lord with thy
substance, and geue to him of the first of al thy fruites:
10 and
thy barnes shal be replenished with fulnes, and thy presses shal
runouer with wine.
11 My sonne, cast not away the discipline
of our Lord: neither doe thou faint when thou art chasteced
of him:
12 notefor whom our Lord loueth he chasticeth: and as
a father in the sonne he pleaseth himself.
13 Blessed is the man
that findeth wisdom, and floweth with prudence:
14 better is
the purchasing therof then marchandise of siluer, and her
fruite then chiefe and the purest gold:
15 she is more precious
then al riches: and al thinges that are desired, are not able to be
compared with her.
16 noteLength of dayes in her right hand,
& in her left hand note riches and glorie
17 Her wayes are beautiful
wayes, and al her pathes peaceable.
18 She is a tree of
life to them that shal apprehend her: and he that shal hold her
is blessed.
19 Our Lord by wisdom founded the earth, established
the heauens by prudence.
20 By his wisdom the depthes
haue broken forth, and the cloudes waxe thicke with dew.
21 My sonne, let not these thinges depart from thyne eies:
kepe the law & counsel:
22 and there shal be life to thy soule,
and note grace to thy iawes.
23 Then shalt thou walke confidently
in thy way, and thy foote shal not stumble:
24 if thou
sleepe, thou shalt not feare: thou shalt rest, and thy sleepe
shal be sweete.
25 Dread not at soden terrour, and the power
of the impious falling vpon thee.
26 For our Lord wil be at
thy side, and wil keepe thy foote that thou be not taken.
27 Doe not prohibite him to doe good, that is able: if thou
be able, thy selfe also doe good.
28 Say not to thy frend: goe,
and returne; and note to morow I wil geue to thee: wheras thou
mayest geue forthwith.
29 Practise not euil against thy freind,
when he hath affiance in thee.
30 Contend not against man
without cause, wheras he hath done thee no euil.
31 Doe not
enuie an vniust man, nor imitate his waies:
32 because euerie
-- --
deluder is an abomination of our Lord, and his communication
is with the simple.
33 There is pouertie from our Lord
in the house of the impious: but the habitations of the iust
shal be blessed.
34 He shal delude the deluders, and to the
milde he wil geue grace.
35 The wise shal possesse glorie: the
exaltation of fooles ignominie.
