Proverbs - Chapter: 1


1:1	The prouerbes of Salomon, the sonne of Dauid kynge of Israel:
1:2	to learne wisdome, & to perceaue the instruccyon, and to perceaue the wordes of vnderstondynge: & therby to receaue prudence,
1:3	ryghteousnes, iudgement and equite.
1:4	That the very simple myght haue wyt, and that the yonge men myght haue knowledge and true vnderstanding.
1:5	By hearing the wise man shall come by more wysedome: and he that is endewed wt vnderstanding
1:6	shal optayn wit to perceaue a parable, & the interpretacyon therof, the wordes of the wyse, & the darcke speaches of the same.
1:7	The feare of the Lorde is the begynnyng of wysdome. But fooles despyse wysdome & instruccion.
1:8	My sonne, heare thy fathers doctrine: & forsake not the lawe of thy mother:
1:9	for that shall bringe grace vnto thy heed, and shalbe as a cheyne about thy neck.
1:10	My sonne, consente not vnto synners,
1:11	yf they entise the, & saye: come with vs, we will laye wayte for bloude, & lurcke preuely for the innocent without a cause:
1:12	we shall swalowe then vp lyke the hell, & deuoure them quycke and hole, as those that go downe into the pyt.
1:13	So shall we fynde all maner of costelye ryches, & fill our houses wt spoyles.
1:14	Cast in thy lot among vs: & let vs haue all one purse.
1:15	My sonne, walke not thou with them: refrayne thy fote from their waye.
1:16	For their fete runne to euell: & are hasty to shed bloud.
1:17	But in vayn is the net laied forth before the byrdes eyes:
1:18	yee they them selues laye wayte one for anothers bloud & one of them wold sleye another.
1:19	These are the wayes of all soch as be couetous, the one wold rauysh anothers lyfe.
1:20	Wisdome cryeth wtout, & putteth forth her voyce in the stretes.
1:21	She calleth before the congregacyon in the open gates, & sheweth her wordes thorow the citye, saying:
1:22	O ye children, how longe wyll ye loue childesshnes? how longe wyll the scorners delyte in scorning, & the vnwyse be enemyes vnto knowledge?
1:23	O turne you vnto my correccion: lo, I wyll expresse my mynde vnto you, & make you vnderstande my wordes.
1:24	I haue called, & ye refused it: I haue stretched out my hande: & no man regarded it:
1:25	but all my councels haue ye despised: & set my correccion at naught.
1:26	Therfore shall I also laugh in youre destruccion, & mocke you, when that thinge that ye feare commeth vpon you:
1:27	euen when the thynge that ye be afrayed of, falleth in sodenly lyke a storme, & your misery lyke a tempest: yee, when trouble & heuines commeth vpon you.
1:28	Then shal they call vpon me, but I wyll not heare: they shall seke me early, but they shall not fynde me.
1:29	And that because they hated knowledge, & receaued not the feare of the Lorde:
1:30	but abhorred my councell, and despysed all my correccion.
1:31	Therfore shall they eate the frutes of theyr awne waye, & be filled with their awne inuencions:
1:32	for the turnynge awaye of the vnwyse shall sleye them, and the prosperytie of fooles shalbe their awne destruccyon.
1:33	But whoso harkneth vnto me, shall dwell safely, and be sure from any feare of euyll.


1:1	The parablis of Salomon, the sone of Dauid, king of Israel;
1:2	to kunne wisdom and kunnyng;
1:3	to vndurstonde the wordis of prudence; and to take the lernyng of teching; to take riytfulnesse, and dom, and equyte;
1:4	that felnesse be youun to litle children, and kunnyng, and vndurstonding to a yong wexynge man.
1:5	A wise man heringe schal be wisere; and a man vndurstondinge schal holde gouernails.
1:6	He schal perseyue a parable, and expownyng; the wordis of wise men, and the derk figuratif spechis of hem.
1:7	The drede of the Lord is the bigynning of wisdom; foolis dispisen wisdom and teching.
1:8	My sone, here thou the teching of thi fadir, and forsake thou not the lawe of thi modir;
1:9	that grace be addid, ethir encreessid, to thin heed, and a bie to thi necke.
1:10	Mi sone, if synneris flateren thee, assente thou not to hem.
1:11	If thei seien, Come thou with vs, sette we aspies to blood, hide we snaris of disseitis ayens an innocent without cause;
1:12	swolowe we him, as helle swolowith a man lyuynge; and al hool, as goynge doun in to a lake; we schulen fynde al preciouse catel,
1:13	we schulen fille oure housis with spuylis; sende thou lot with vs,
1:14	o purs be of vs alle;
1:15	my sone, go thou not with hem; forbede thi foot fro the pathis of hem.
1:16	For the feet of hem rennen to yuel; and thei hasten to schede out blood.
1:17	But a net is leid in veyn bifore the iyen of briddis, that han wengis.
1:18	Also `thilke wickid disseyueris setten aspies ayens her owne blood; and maken redi fraudis ayens her soulis.
1:19	So the pathis of ech auerouse man rauyschen the soulis of hem that welden.
1:20	Wisdom prechith with outforth; in stretis it yyueth his vois.
1:21	It crieth ofte in the heed of cumpenyes; in the leeues of yatis of the citee it bringith forth hise wordis,
1:22	and seith, Hou long, ye litle men in wit, louen yong childhod, and foolis schulen coueyte tho thingis, that ben harmful to hem silf, and vnprudent men schulen hate kunnyng?
1:23	Be ye conuertid at my repreuyng; lo, Y schal profre forth to you my spirit, and Y schal schewe my wordis.
1:24	For Y clepide, and ye forsoken; Y helde forth myn hond, and noon was that bihelde.
1:25	Ye dispisiden al my councel; and chargiden not my blamyngis.
1:26	And Y schal leiye in youre perisching; and Y schal scorne you, whanne that, that ye dreden, cometh to you.
1:27	Whanne sodeyne wretchidnesse fallith in, and perisching bifallith as tempest; whanne tribulacioun and angwisch cometh on you.
1:28	Thanne thei schulen clepe me, and Y schal not here; thei schulen rise eerli, and thei schulen not fynde me.
1:29	For thei hatiden teching, and thei token not the drede of the Lord,
1:30	nether assentiden to my councel, and depraueden al myn amendyng.
1:31	Therfor thei schulen ete the fruytis of her weie; and thei schulen be fillid with her counseils.
1:32	The turnyng awei of litle men in wit schal sle hem; and the prosperite of foolis schal leese hem.
1:33	But he that herith me, schal reste with outen drede; and he schal vse abundaunce, whanne the drede of yuels is takun awei.


1:1	These are the prouerbes of Salomon the sonne of Dauid kynge of Israel:
1:2	to lerne wy?dome nurtoure, vnderstondinge, prudence,
1:3	rightuousnesse, iudgment and equite.
1:4	That the very babes might haue wyt, and that yonge men might haue knowlege and vnderstondinge.
1:5	By hearinge, the wyse ma shal come by more wysdome: and by experience,
1:6	he shal be more apte to vnderstonde a parable, and the interpretacion therof: the wordes of the wyse, and the darcke speaches of the same.
1:7	The feare of the LORDE is the begynnynge of wysdome. But fooles despyse wysdome and nurtoure.
1:8	My sonne, heare thy fathers doctryne, and forsake not the lawe of yi mother:
1:9	for that shal brynge grace vnto thy heade, & shalbe a cheyne aboute thy necke.
1:10	My sonne, cosente not vnto synners,
1:11	yf they entyse the, and saye: come wyth us, let us laye wayte for bloude, & lurke preuely for the innocet wythout a cause:
1:12	let us swalowe the vp like ye hell, let us deuoure the quycke and whole, as those that go downe in to the pytt.
1:13	So shal we fynde all maner of costly riches, and fyll oure houses wyth spoyles.
1:14	Cast in thy lott amonge us, we shal haue all one purse.
1:15	My sonne, walke not thou wt them, refrayne yi fote fro their wayes.
1:16	For their fete rune to euell, & are haistie to shed bloude.
1:17	But in vayne is ye net layed forth before the byrdes eyes.
1:18	Yee they the selues laye wayte one for anothers bloude, and one of the wolde slaye another.
1:19	These are the wayes of all soch as be couetous, that one wolde rauysh anothers life.
1:20	Wy?dome crieth without, & putteth forth hir voyce in the stretes.
1:21	She calleth before ye congregacion in ye open gates, and sheweth hir wordes thorow ye cite, sayenge:
1:22	O ye childre, how loge wil ye loue childyshnesse? how longe wil ye scorners delyte in scornynge, & ye vnwyse be enemies vnto knowlege?
1:23	O turne you vnto my correccion: lo, I wil expresse my mynde vnto you, and make you vnderstode my wordes.
1:24	Seinge then that I haue called, and ye refused it: I haue stretched out my honde, and no ma regarded it,
1:25	but all my coucels haue ye despysed, and set my correccios at naught.
1:26	Therfore shal I also laugh in yor destruccion, and mocke you, when ye thinge that ye feare cometh vpon you:
1:27	euen whe ye thinge that ye be afrayed of, falleth in sodenly like a storme, and yor misery like a tempest: yee wha trouble and heuynesse cometh vpon you.
1:28	Then shal they call vpo me, but I wil not heare: they shal seke me early, but they shal not fynde me:
1:29	And yt because they hated knowlege, and receaued not ye feare of ye LORDE,
1:30	but abhorred my councell, and despysed my correccion.
1:31	Therfore shal they eate ye frutes of their owne waye, and be fylled wt their owne councels:
1:32	for ye turnynge awaye of ye vnwyse shal slaye the, & ye prosperi of fooles shalbe their owne destruccio.
1:33	But who so harkeneth vnto me, shal dwell safely, and haue ynough without eny feare of euell.
