Chap. XVI.
note
A few good children, yea none at al, are better then manie wicked. 9. Gods
wrath falleth vpon the euil, and his mercie on the good. 14. workes
of mercie merite great reward. 15. Nothing is hid from God, 20. but
manie thinges from men.
1 Reioice not in impious children, if they be multiplied:
neither be delighted vpon them, if the feare of God be
not in them.
2 Credite not their life, and respect not their
labours.
3 For better is one fearing God, then a thousand
impious children.
4 And it is more profitable to die without
children, rather then to leaue impious children.
5 By one
wise a countrie shal be inhabited, and the tribe of the impious
shal be made desolate.
6 Manie such thinges hath mine eie
sene, and myne eare hath heard thinges of more force then
these.
7 In the synagogue of sinners note a fire shal flame, and in
an incredulous nation wrath shal waxe hotte.
8 The old
giantes did not obteine for their sinnes, who were destroied
trusting to their owne strength:
9 and he spared not the peregrination
of Lot, and he detested them for the pride of their
word.
10 He had not pitie on them, destroying the whole
nation, and extolling themselues in their sinnes.
11 And as the
six huudred thousand foote men, which were gathered together
in the hardnes of their hart: and if one had bene stiffe
necked, it is meruel if he had bene vnpunished.
12 For there
is mercie and wrath with him. Mightie exoration, & powring
our wrath:
13 according to his mercie, so his chastisement
iudgeth a man according to his workes.
14 The sinner shal
not escape in robberie, and the sufferance of him that doth
mercie shal not slacke.
15 Al mercie shal make a place to
euerie man according to note the merite of his workes, & according
to the vnderstanding of his peregrination.
16 Say not; I
shal be hid from God and from on high who shal remember
me?
17 In a great people I shal not be knowen: for what is
my soule among so innumerable creatures?
18 Behold heauen,
-- --
and the heauens of heauens, the depth, and al the earth, & the
thinges that are in them, in his sight shal be moued,
19 the
mountaines together, and the litle hilles, & the fundations of
the earth: & when God shal behold them, they shal be shaken
with trembling.
20 And in al these thinges the hart is senseles:
and euerie hart is vnderstood of him:
21 and his wayes who
doth vnderstand, and the storme, which neither the eie of man
shal see?
22 For manie of his workes are in secretes: but the
workes of his iustice who shal declare? or who shal susteine?
For the testament is far from some, and the examination of al
is in consummation.
23 He that is lesse of hart, thinketh vaine
thinges: and the vnwise, and erring man, thinketh folish
thinges.
24 Heare me my sonne, and lerne the discipline of
vnderstanding, and attend to my wordes in thy hart,
25 and I
wil speake discipline in equitie, and wil search to declare
wisedom, and to my wordes attend in thy hart, and I speake
in equitie of spirit the vertues, that God hath put vpon his
workes from the beginning, and in truth I shew forth his
knowlege.
26 In the iudgement of God are his workes from
the beginning, and from the institution of them he distinguished
their partes, and their beginninges in their nations.
27 He adorned their workes for euer, neither haue they hungred,
nor laboured, and they haue not ceased from their
workes.
28 Euerie one shal not vexe his neighbour for euer.
29 Be not incredulous to his word.
30 After this God looked
vpon the earth, & filled it with his good thinges.
31 And note the
soule of euerie liuing thing shal shew before the face thereof,
and into it againe is their returne.
