1 Be note not ielous ouer the wife of thy bosome, lest she shew
vpon thee the malice of wicked doctrine.
2 Geue not to
a woman the power of thy soule, lest she goe in thy strength,
and thou be confounded.
3 Looke not vpon a woman that is
desirous of manie: lest perhaps thou fal into her snares.
4 With her that is a dauncer be not daily conuersant, nor
heare her, lest perhaps thou perish in her efficacie.
5 Behold
not a virgin, lest perhaps thou be scandalized in her beautie.
6 Geue not thy soule to harlottes in any poynt: lest thou destroy
thyself, and thine inheritance.
7 Looke not round
about in the wayes of the citie, nor wander vp and downe in
the streates therof.
8 Turne away thy face from a trimmed
woman, and gaze not about vpon an others beautie.
9 By the
beautie of a woman manie haue perished: and hereby concupiscence
is inflamed as a fire.
10 Euerie woman, that is an
harlot, shal be troden vpon as dung in the way.
11 Manie
hauing admired the beautie of an other mans wife, haue become
reprobate. for her communication burneth as fire.
12 Sit
not at al with an other mans wife, nor repose vpon the bed with
her:
13 and striue not with her at the wine, lest perhapes thy hart
decline toward her, & with thy bloud thou fal into perdition.
14 noteForsake not an old frend: for the new wil not be like to
him.
15 A new frend, is as new wine: it shal waxe old, and
thou shalt drinke it with sweetnes.
16 noteDoe not zelousely
desire the glorie, and the riches of a sinner: for thou knowest
not what his subuersion shal be.
17 Let not the iniurie of the
vniust please thee, knowing that euen to hel the impious shal
not please.
17 Be far from the man that hath power to kil, and
thou shalt not suspect the feare of death.
18 And if thou come
to him, committe nothing, lest perhaps he take away thy life.
20 Know it to be communication with death; because thou
shalt goe in the middes of snarres, and shalt walke vpon the
weapons of the sorowful.
21 According to thy powre beware
thee of thy neighbour; and treate with the wise and prudent.
22 Let iust men be thy ghests, and let thy gloriation be in the
feare of God,
23 and let the cogitation of God be in thy vnderstanding,
& al thine enarration in the precepts of the Highest.
24 Workes shal be praysed in the handes of artificers, and the
prince of the people in the wisdom of his speach, but the word
of the ancients in the sense.
25 A man ful of tongue is terrible
in his citie, and he that is rash in his word shal be odious.
