Chap. IIII.
The wiseman exhorteth others by his owne example to seeke wisdom, 14. to
decline from the wicked, and to imitate the iust, 23. to guide wel the hart,
mouth, and feete.
1 Children heare ye the fathers discipline, and attend
that you may knowe prudence.
2 I wil geue you a
good gift, forsake not my law.
3 For note I also was the sonne of
my father, tender and as onlie begotten in my mothers sight:
4 and he taught me, & sayd: Let thy hart receiue my wordes,
kepe my preceptes, and thou shalt liue.
5 Possesse wisedom,
possesse prudence: forget not, neither decline from the
wordes of my mouth.
6 Leaue her not, and she wil keepe
thee: loue her, and she wil preserue thee.
7 noteThe beginning
of wisdom, possesse wisdom, and in al thy possession purchase
prudence:
8 take quickly, and she wil exalt thee: thou shalt
be glorified of her, when thou shalt embrace her.
9 She wil
geue to thy head increase of graces, and with a noble crowne
she wil protect thee.
10 Heare my sonne, and receiue my
wordes, that yeares of life may be multiplied to thee.
11 The
way of wisdom I wil shew to thee, I wil leade thee by the
pathes of equitie.
12 Which when thou shalt haue entered,
thy steppes shal not be straytened, and running thou shalt not
haue a stumbling blocke.
13 Hold discipline, leaue it not: kepe
it, because the same is thy life.
14 Be not delighted in the pathes
of the impious, neither let the way of the euil please thee.
15 Flee from it, neither passe thou by it: goe aside, and forsake
it.
16 For they sleepe not vnlesse they haue done il: and they
take no sleepe vnlesse they supplant.
17 They eate the bread
of impietie, and drinke the wine of iniquitie.
18 But the path
of the iust, as shyning light proceedeth euen to perfect day.
19 The way of the impious is darkesom: they know not
where they fal.
20 My sonne, heare my wordes, and incline
thyne eare to my sayinges.
21 Let them not depart from thyne
eies, kepe them in the middes of thy hart.
22 For they are
-- --
life to those that finde them, and health to al flesh.
23 With al
garde keepe thy note hart, because life proceedeth from it.
24 Remoue from thee a froward mouth, and let detracting
lippes be far from thee.
25 Let thyne eies see right thinges,
& let thine eieliddes goe before thy steppes.
26 Direct the path
to thy feete, and al thy wayes shal be established.
27 Decline
not to the right hand, nor to the left: turne away thy foote
from euil.
28 For our Lord knoweth the wayes that are on the
right hand: but those are peruers, which are on the left hand.
29 But he wil make thy courses right, and thy wayes he wil
bring forward in peace.
