Chap. XII.
Vse beneuolence towards good men. 10. Trust not enemies ouer much.
1 If thou wilt doe good, note know to whom thou doest it, and
there shal be much thanke in thy good deedes.
2 Doe
good to the iust, and thou shalt finde great rewarde: and if
not of him, assuredly of our Lord.
3 For it is not wel with
him, that is euer occupied in euil thinges, and that geueth not
almes: because the Highest both hateth sinners, and hath
mercie on them note that are penitent.
4 Geue to the merciful,
and receiue not the sinner: both to the impious, & to sinners
he wil repay vengeance, keping them vnto the day of vengeance.
5 Geue to the good, and receiue not a sinner.
6 Doe good to the humble, and geue not to the impious: prohibite
to geue him bread, lest therin he be mightier then thou:
7 for
thou shalt finde duble euils in al the good, whatsoeuer thou
shalt do to him: because the Highest hateth sinners, and wil
repay vengeance to the impious.
8 A freind shal not be
knowen in prosperitie, and an enimie shal not be hid in aduersitie.
9 In the prosperitie of a man, his enimies are in sorow,
and in affliction a freind is knowne.
10 noteCredite not thyn
enemie for euer: for as a brasse potte his wickednes rusteth:
11 and if humbling himself he goe crouching, be aduised in thy
mind, and beware of him.
12 Place him not by thee, neither
-- --
let him sitte on thy right hand, lest perhaps turning into thy
place, he seke after thy seate: and at the last thou know my
wordes, and be pricked in my sayinges.
13 Who wil haue pittie
vpon the inchanter stricking of a serpent, or of anie that come
nere to beastes? so also he that kepeth companie with a
wicked man, and is wrapped in his sinnes.
14 For one houre
he wil tarie with thee: but if thou decline, he wil not abide it.
15 In his lippes the enimie speaketh swetely, and in his hart he
lyeth in wayte, that he may ouerthrow thee into the pitte.
16 In his eyes the enimie weepeth: and if he may finde a time,
he wil not be satisfied with bloud:
17 and if euils happen to
thee, thou shalt finde him there first.
18 In his eyes the enimie
weepeth, and as it were helping thee, he wil vndermine thy
feete.
19 He wil shake his head, and clappe his hand, and
whispering manie thinges he wil change his countenance.
