Chap. XXVIII.
note
Abstaine from reuenge, 8. and strife, 15. from making debate, 28. from
hearing, and speaking euil.
1 He note that wil be reuenged, shal finde reuenge of our
Lord, and keepeing he wil keepe his sinne.
2 noteForgeue
thy neighbour hurting thee: & then shal thy sinnes be loosed
-- --
to thee when thou prayest.
3 Man to man reserueth anger,
and doth he seeke remedie of God?
4 He hath not mercie on
a man like vnto himself, and doth he intreate for his owne
sinnes?
5 Himself whereas he is flesh, reserueth anger, and
doth he aske propitiation of God? Who by prayer shal
obteyne for his sinne?
6 Remember the last thinges, & cease
to be at enmitie:
7 for consumption and death are imminent
in his commandmentes.
8 Remember the feare of God, and
be not angrie with thy neighbour.
9 Remember the testament
of the High, & contemne the ignorance of thy neigbour.
10 Refraine thyself from strife, and thou shalt diminish thy
sinnes:
11 for an angrie man kindleth strife, and a sinful man
wil truble his freindes, and in the middes of them that are at
peace he wil cast in enmitie.
12 For according to the wood of
the forest, so the fire burneth: and according to the power of
a man, so shal his anger be, and according to his substance he
wil increase his anger.
13 Hastie contention kindleth a fire:
and hastie strife shedeth bloud: and an il testifying tongue
bringeth death.
14 If thou blow vpon a sparck, it wil burne as
a fire: and if thou spitte thereon, it shal be quenched: both
procede out of the mouth.
15 The whisperer & duble tounged
is accurst: for he hath trubled manie that were at peace.
16 A
notethird tongue hath moued manie, and dispersed them from
nation into nation.
17 It hath destroyed the walled citie of the
rich, and hath digged downe the houses of great men.
18 It
hath cut the forces of peoples, and vndone strong nations.
19 A third tongue hath cast out manlie wemen, and depriued
them of their labours.
20 He that regardeth it, shal not haue rest,
neither shal he haue a freind in whom he may repose.
21 The
stroke of a whippe maketh a blew marke: but the stroke of
the tongue wil breake the bones.
22 Manie haue fallen by
the edge of the sword, but not so as they that haue perished by
their tongue.
23 Blessed is he that is couered from a wicked
tongue, that hath not passed into the anger therof, and that
hath not drawen the yoke therof, and hath not bene tyed in
the bandes therof:
24 for the yoke of it, is a yoke of yron: and
the baud of it is a band of brasse.
25 The death of it, is a most
wicked death: and hel is more profitable then it.
26 The continuance
of it shal not be permanent, but it shal obteyne the
waies of the vniust: and it shal not burne the iust in the flame
therof.
27 They that forsake God, shal fal into it, and it shal
-- --
burne in them, and shal not be quenched, and it shal be sent
in vpon them as a lion, and as a leopard it shal hurt them.
28 noteHedge thine eares with thornes, and heare not a wicked
tongue, and make doores to thy mouth, and locks.
29 Lay
together thy siluer, and make balance to thy wordes, and right
bridles to thy mouth:
30 and take heede left perhaps thou
slippe in thy tongue, & fal in the sight of the enemies, that lie in
wayte for thee, and thy fal be vncurable vnto death.
