Chap. X.
note
Wise superiors are very necessarie, because the multitude folow their
example. 6. Remitte and forget iniuries, detest pride, iniustice, contumelie,
and auarice. 12. Life is short. 14. Pride is the roote of al sinnes. 23.
Iust pouertie is better then sinful riches. 31. Mekenes and modestie are necessarie
in al men.
1 A wise iudge shal iudge his people, and the principalitie
of the wise shal be stable.
2 noteAccording to the Iudge
of the people, so also are his ministers: and what maner of
man the ruler of a citie is, such also are the inhabitants therein.
3 An vnwise king shal destroy his people: and cities shal be
inhabited by the vnderstanding of the prudent.
4 The powre
of the earth is in the hand of God, and he wil rayse vp a profitable
ruler for a time ouer it.
5 The prosperitie of man is in
the hand of God, & vpon the face of the scribe he wil put his
honour.
6 Anie iniurie of thy neighbour remember not, and
doe nothing by workes of iniurie.
7 Pride is odious before
God and men: and al the iniquitie of the nations is execrable.
8 A note kingdome is translated from nation vnto nation,
because of iniustices, and iniuries, and contumelies, and diuerse
deceites.
9 But note nothing is more wicked then the
couetous man. Why is earth and ashes proud?
10 Nothing is
more wicked then to loue money. For he hath his soule also
to sel: because in his life he hath cast forth his most inward
thinges:
11 Al power is of short life. Long sicknes greueth the
Physicion.
12 Short sicknes the Physicion cutteth of at the
first: so also the king is to day, & to morow he shal die.
13 For
when a man shal die, he shal inherite serpents, and beasts, and
wormes.
14 The begynning of the pride of man, is to apostatate
from God:
15 because his hart is departed from him that
made him, for note pride is the begynning of al sinne: he that holdeth
it, shal be filled with curses, & it shal subuert him in the
end.
16 Therfore hath our Lord dishonoured the congregations
of the euil, & hath destroyed them euen to the end.
17 God hath
destroyed the seates of proud princes, and hath made the
meeke sitte in their stead.
18 God hath made the rootes of the
proud nations to wither, and hath planted the humble of the
nations themselues.
19 Our Lord hath subuerted the landes of
the gentiles, and hath destroyed them euen to the fundation.
-- --
20 He hath made of them to wither, and hath destroyed them,
and hath made the memorie of them to cease from the earth.
21 God hath destroyed the memorie of the proud, and hath left
the memorie of them that are humble in vnderstanding.
22 Pride was not created to men: nor wrath to the nation of
wemen.
23 That seede of men shal be honoured, which feareth
God: but that seede shal be dishonoured, which transgresseth
the commandments of our Lord.
24 In the middes of brethren
their ruler shal be in honour: and they that feare our Lord,
shal be in his eyes.
25 The glorie of the rich, of the honourable,
and of the poore, is the feare of God:
26 Despise not
the iust man that is poore, and magnifie not the sinful man
that is rich.
27 The great one, and the iudge, and the mightie is
in honour, and there is none greater then he, that feareth
God.
28 Free men wil serue a seruant, that is wise: and a man
that is prudent and hath discipline, wil not murmur being rebuked,
and the ignorant shal not be honoured.
29 Extol not
thyself in doing thy worke, and linger not in the time of
distresse:
30 better is he that worketh, and abundeth in al
thinges, then he that glorieth, and lacketh bread.
31 Sonne in
mildenes keepe thy soule, and geue him honour according to
his desert.
32 Him that sinneth agaynst his owne soule who
shal iustifie? and who shal honour him that dishonoureth
his owne soule?
33 The poore man is glorified by his discipline
and feare: & there is a man that is honoured for his substance.
34 But he that is glorified in pouertie, how much more in
substance? and he that is glorified in substance, let him feare
pouertie.
