Chap. XXV.
note
Concord betwen bretheren, neighboures, and man and wife, much pleaseth
God. 3. A poore man proud, a richman a lier, and an old man doting in
carnal, or worldlie thinges, are very hateful. 9. He that seeth his children
good; and his enimies ouerthrowne; hath a good wife; offendeth not in
speach; consenteth not to sinne; hath a true freind; teacheth good doctrine;
hath sacred; and humane knowlege: hath vndoubtedly nine happie
thinges: but to feare God conteyneth 14. and excelleth al. 17. A wicked
woman (heresie) is very detestable, 30. and most vntolerable, if she haue
supreme dominion.
1 In three thinges my spirit is pleased, which are approued
before God, and men:
2 noteThe concord of bretheren, and
the loue of neighboures, and man and wife wel agreeing
together.
3 Three sortes my soule hateth, and I am greatly
greeued at their life;
4 noteA poore man proud: & a rich man a
lyer: an old man a foole, and doting.
5 The thinges that thou
hast not gathered in thy youth, how shalt thou find them in
thy old age?
6 How beautiful is iudgement for a grey head,
and for ancientes to know counsel!
7 How beautiful is
wisdom for the aged, & vnderstanding glorious, and counsel!
8 Much cunning is the croune of old men, and the feare of
-- --
God is their glorie.
9 noteNine thinges not to be imagined of
the hart haue I magnified, and the tenth I wil tel vnto men
with my tongue:
10 A man that hath ioy in his children; liuing
and seeing the subuersion of his enemies.
11 Blessed is he that
dwelleth with a wise woman; & that hath not offended with
his tongue; and that hath not serued such as are vnworthie of
him.
12 Blessed is he that findeth a true freind; and that declareth
iustice to an eare that heareth:
13 How great is he, that
findeth wisdom; and knowlege; but he is not aboue him note that
feareth our Lord.
14 The feare of God hath set it self aboue al
thinges:
15 blessed is the man, to whom is geuen to haue the
feare of God: he that holdeth it, to whom shal he be resembled?
16 The feare of God is the beginning of his loue:
and the beginning of faith is to be fast ioyned vnto it.
17 The
heauines of the hart is al plague: & al malice, note the wickednes
of a woman.
18 And he wil see al plague, and not the plague of
the hart:
19 & al wickednes, & not the wickednes of a woman:
20 and al obduction, and not the obduction of them that hate
him:
21 and al reuenge, and not the reuenge of the enemies.
22 There is no head worse then the head of a serpent:
23 and
there is no anger aboue the anger of woman. It shal be more
pleasant to abide with a lyon and dragon, then to dwel with a
wicked woman.
24 The wickednes of a woman changeth her
face: and darkeneth her countenance as a beare: and wil shew
it as a sacke. In the middes of her neighbours,
25 her husband
groned, and hearing he sighed a litle.
26 Al malice is short to
the malice of a woman, the lot of sinners fal vpon her.
27 As
the goeing vp a grauelie way in the feete of the aged, so a
woman ful of tongue to a quiet man.
28 Looke not vpon a
womans beautie, and desire not a woman for beautie.
29 A
womans anger, and impudencie, and confusion is great.
30 A
woman note if she haue superioritie, is contrarie to her husband.
31 An humbled hart, and heauie countenance, and plague of
hart, is a wicked woman.
32 Feeble handes, and disiointed
knees, a woman that doth not make her husband happie.
33 From woman came the beginning of sinne, and by her we
doe al die.
34 Geue not issue to thy water, no not a litle: nor
to a wicked woman leaue, to goe forth.
35 If she walke not
at thine hand, she wil confound thee in the sight of thyn
enemies.
36 Cut her of from thy flesh, lest she alwaies abuse
thee.
