Chap. XXXIIII.
note
Trust not vaine dreames, southsayinges, nor lies. 9. Much good is got by
experience: 14. and more by fearing God. 21. God reiecteth the oblations
of the wicked. 24. Defrauding the poore is like to manslaughter. 28.
Destroy not that an other buildeth. 30. Repentance without amendment
is nothing worth.
1 Vaine hope, & lying is to a foolish man: & note dreames
extol the vnwise.
2 As he that apprehendeth a shadow,
and pursueth the winde: so is he also that attendeth to lying
visions.
3 According to this is the vision of dreames: as a
mans similitude before the face of a man.
4 Of the vncleane
what shal be made cleane? and of a lyer what truth shal be
said?
5 Diuination of errour, and lying southsayinges, and the
dreames of them that do euil are vanitie.
6 And as a woman
that traueleth thy hart suffereth phantasies: vnlesse it be a
vision sent forth from the Highest, set not thy hart vpon them.
7 For dreames haue made manie to erre, and they that hoped
in them haue failed.
8 noteThe word of the law shal be fulfilled
without lying, and note wisedom in the mouth of the faithful
shal be made plaine.
9 He that hath not bene proued, what
knoweth he? A man expert in manie thinges, shal thinck
manie thinges: and he that hath lerned manie thinges, shal
declare vnderstanding.
10 He that is not tryed, knoweth
-- --
few thinges: and he that hath bene in manie things, multiplyeth
wickednes.
11 He that hath not bene proued, what
maner of thinges knoweth he? He that is deceiued, shal
abound with wickednes.
12 I haue seene manie thinges in
wandring to and fro, and very manie fashions of words.
13 Some times I haue bene in danger vnto death for these
thinges, and I was deliuered by the grace of God.
14 The spirit
of them that feare God is sought, & at his sight shal be blessed.
15 For their hope is on him that saueth them, and the eies of
God vpon them that loue him.
16 He that feareth our Lord
shal tremble at nothing, and shal not dread: because he is his
hope.
17 His soule is blessed that feareth our Lord.
18 To
whom doth he looke, and who is his strength?
19 The eies of
our Lord are vpon them that feare him, a protectour of might,
a stay of strength, a couer from the heate, and shadow for the
noone time,
20 a sauing from offence, and helpe from falling,
exalting the soule, and illuminating the eies, geuing health,
and life, and blessing.
21 The oblation of him that immolateth
of an vniust thing is spotted, and the scorninges of the vniust
are not acceptable.
22 Our Lord is onlie theirs that expect him
in the way of truth and iustice.
23 The Highest alloweth not
the giftes of the wicked: neither hath he regard to the oblations
of the vniust, neither wil he be made propitious for
sinnes by the multitude of their sacrifices.
24 He that offereth
sacrifice of poore mens substance, is as he that sacrificeth the sonne in the presence of his father.
25 The bread of the needie, is
the life of the poore: he that defraudeth it, is a man of bloud.
26 He that taketh away bread in swet, is as he that killeth
his neighbour.
27 He that sheddeth bloud, and that defraudeth
the hired man, are bretheren.
28 noteOne building, and an other
destroing: what profite haue they but the labour?
29 One
praying, and an other cursing: whethers voice wil God heare?
30 He that is washed from the dead, note and toucheth him
againe, what doth his washing profit?
31 so a man that
fasteth in his sinnes: and doing the same againe, what doth he
profite in humbling himself? who wil heare his prayer?
