12:2	Then (no doute) ye are the men alone, & wysdome shall perysh with you.

12:11	Haue not the eares pleasure in hering, and and the mouth in tastynge the thynge that it eateth?
12:12	Amonge olde personnes there is wisdome, and in age is vnderstandyng.
12:13	Yee, with God is wysdome and strength, it is he that hath councell and forknowledge.
12:14	Beholde, If he breake downe a thyng, who can set it vp agayne? If he shut a thynge, who will open it?
12:15	Behold, yf he witholde the waters, they drye vp. If he let them go, they destroye the erth.

12:18	He taketh awaye the subieccion of the people from their kinges, and gyrdeth theyr loynes with a bonde.

12:13	Wisdom and strengthe is at God; he hath counsel and vndurstondyng.
12:14	If he distrieth, no man is that bildith; if he schittith in a man, `noon is that openith.
12:15	If he holdith togidere watris, alle thingis schulen be maad drie; if he sendith out tho watris, tho schulen distrie the erthe.
