Chap. XIIII.
note
Offence of the tongue is a frequent and dangerous sinne. 3. Riches are hurtful
to a couetous, and to an enuious mind. 11. workes of mercie necessarie. 22.
and perseuerance in Wisdom.
1 Blessed is the man that hath not offended in a worde
out of his mouth, and is not pricked with the sorrow
-- --
of sinne.
2 Happie is he, that hath not had heauines of his
minde, and hath not fallen from his hope.
3 Substance is
without reason to the couetous man and niggard, and for
the spiteful enuious man to what purpose is gold?
4 He that
heapeth together from his hart vniustly, gathereth for others,
and in his goodes an other wil kepe riote.
5 He that is wicked
to himselfe, to what other man wil he be good? and he shal
haue no pleasure in his goodes.
6 noteHe that enuieth himselfe,
nothing is worse then he, and this is the reward of his malice:
7 and if he doe good, he doth yt ignorantly, and not willing:
and at the last he manifesteth his malice.
8 The eye of the
enuious is wicked, and turneth away his face, and despiseth
his owne soule.
9 The eye of the couetous man insatiable in
a portion of iniquitie, wil not be satisfied til he consume
his owne soule withering it.
10 An euil eye is towards euil
thinges: & he shal haue his fil of bread, needie & in heauines
shal he be at his table.
11 Sonne if thou haue it, doe good to
thyselfe, and offer to God worthie oblations.
12 Be mindful
that death slacketh not, and that note the couenant of hel hath
beene shewed thee: for the couenant of this world shal dye
the death.
13 Before death do good to thy freind, and according
to thine abilitie stretching out thy hand, geue to the
poore.
14 Be not defrauded of thy good day, and let not a litle
portion of a good gift ouerpasse the.
15 Shalt thou not leaue
to others thy sorrowes, & labours in the deuision of the lotte?
16 Geue and take, and iustifie thy soule.
17 Before thy death
worke iustice: for in hel there can not meat be found.
18 Al
flesh shal waxe olde as grasse, and as the leafe fructifying on
a greene tree.
19 Some grow, and some are shaken of: so the
generation of flesh and bloude, one is ended, and another is
borne.
20 Al corruptible worke shal faile in the end: and he
that worketh it shal goe therwith.
21 And note euerie excellent
worke shal be iustified: and he that worketh it, shal be
honoured therin.
22 Blessed is the man that shal continew
in wisdom, and that shal meditate in his iustice, and in vnderstanding
shal consider the prouidence of God.
23 He that
considereth her wayes in his hart, and hath vnderstanding
in her secrets, going after her as a searcher, and consisting in
her wayes:
24 He that looketh through her windowes, and
heareth in her gates:
25 He that resteth by her house, & in her
walles fastening a stake wil set vp his cotage beside her handes,
-- --
and good thinges shal rest in his cottage for euer.
26 He shal
set his children vnder her couering, and shal abide vnder her
boughes:
17 he shal be protected vnder her couering from
the heate, and shal rest in her glorie.
