Chap. XXVI.
The praises of a good woman. 5. The betraying of a citie, mutenie of people,
and false accusation are terrible, but a ielous woman is more greuous.
10. Diuers il qualities of a bad woman. 16. More commendations of a good
woman. 25. A doleful thing to see a valiant warier wanting liuelihood,
a wiseman not regarded, and greatest griefe to see a iust man become
wicked. 28. A man ful of busines hardly careth for his soule: and an
Inne keper often sinneth in wordes.
1 The husband of a good wife is happie: for the number of
his yeares is note duble.
2 A strong woman delighteth her
husband, and shal accomplish the yeares of his life in peace.
3 A good woman is a good portion, in the good portion of
them that feare God shal she be geuen to a man for good
deedes:
4 And the hart of rich and poore is good, at al time
their countenance is merie.
5 Of three thinges my hart hath
bene afraid, and at the fourth my face hath trembled:
6 The
betraying of a citie, and a gethering together of the people:
7 false calumnie, al more greuous then death.
8 A ielous
woman, is the sorow and moorning of the hart.
9 In a ielous
woman is a scourge of the tongue, communicating with al.
10 As note a yoke of oxen, that is moued, so also a wicked woman:
he that holdeth her, is as he that taketh hold of a scorpion.
11 A woman geuen to drunkennes is great anger: & her contumelie
and turpitude shal not be hid.
12 The fornication of a
woman shal be knowen in the lifting vp of her eies, and in
her eieliddes.
13 On thy daughter that turneth not away her
self, set sure watche: lest occasion found she abuse herself.
14 Take heede of the impudencie of her eies, and meruel not
if she contemne thee.
15 As a wayfaring man that thirsteth,
wil she open her mouth to the fountaine, and wil drinke of
euerie water that is next, and wil sit against euerie hedge, and
open her quiuer against euerie arrow, vntil she faile.
16 noteThe
grace of a diligent woman shal delight her husband, and shal
fatte his bones.
17 Her discipline is the gift of God.
18 A wise
and stil woman, there is no exchange for a soule instructed.
19 A holie, and a shamefast woman, is grace vpon grace.
20 And
al weight is not worthie a continent soule.
21 As the sunne
rysing to the world in the highest places of God, so is the
beautie of a good woman for an ornament of her house.
-- --
22 A lampe shyning vpon the holie candlesticke, & the beautie
of the face vpon stayed age.
23 Pillars of gold vpon feete of
siluer, and stable feete vpon the soules of a stayed woman.
24 Eternal fundations vpon a sound rocke, and the commandments
of God in the hart of a holie woman.
25 At two thinges
my hart is greeued, and at the third anger is come vpon me:
26 A man of warre decaying by pouertie: and a wise man contemned:
27 and he that transgresseth from iustice to sinne,
God hath prepared him to the sword.
28 Two sortes haue
appeared vnto me hard and dangerous, a merchant is hardly
rid of negligence: and note a viteler shal not be iustified from the
sinnes of the lippes.
