Proverbs - Chapter: 1


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	The Parables of Salomon the sonne of Dauid King of Israel,
1:2	To knowe wisdome, and instruction, to vnderstand ye wordes of knowledge,
1:3	To receiue instruction to do wisely, by iustice and iudgement and equitie,
1:4	To giue vnto the simple, sharpenesse of wit, and to the childe knowledge and discretion.
1:5	A wise man shall heare and increase in learning, and a man of vnderstanding shall attayne vnto wise counsels,
1:6	To vnderstand a parable, and the interpretation, the wordes of ye wise, and their darke sayings.
1:7	The feare of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fooles despise wisedome and instruction.
1:8	My sonne, heare thy fathers instruction, and forsake not thy mothers teaching.
1:9	For they shalbe a comely ornament vnto thine head, and as chaines for thy necke.
1:10	My sonne, if sinners doe intise thee, consent thou not.
1:11	If they say, Come with vs, we will lay waite for blood, and lie priuilie for the innocent without a cause:
1:12	We wil swallow them vp aliue like a graue euen whole, as those that goe downe into the pit:
1:13	We shall finde all precious riches, and fill our houses with spoyle:
1:14	Cast in thy lot among vs: we will all haue one purse:
1:15	My sonne, walke not thou in the way with them: refraine thy foote from their path.
1:16	For their feete runne to euill, and make haste to shed blood.
1:17	Certainely as without cause the net is spred before the eyes of all that hath wing:
1:18	So they lay waite for blood and lie priuily for their liues.
1:19	Such are the wayes of euery one that is greedy of gaine: he would take away the life of the owners thereof.
1:20	Wisdome cryeth without: she vttereth her voyce in the streetes.
1:21	She calleth in the hye streete, among the prease in the entrings of the gates, and vttereth her wordes in the citie, saying,
1:22	O ye foolish, howe long will ye loue foolishnes? and the scornefull take their pleasure in scorning, and the fooles hate knowledge?
1:23	(Turne you at my correction: loe, I will powre out my mind vnto you, and make you vnderstand my wordes)
1:24	Because I haue called, and ye refused: I haue stretched out mine hand, and none woulde regarde.
1:25	But ye haue despised all my counsell, and would none of my correction.
1:26	I will also laugh at your destruction, and mocke, when your feare commeth.
1:27	Whe your feare cometh like sudden desolation, and your destruction shall come like a whirle wind: whe affliction and anguish shall come vpon you,
1:28	Then shall they call vpon me, but I will not answere: they shall seeke me early, but they shall not finde me,
1:29	Because they hated knowledge, and did not chuse the feare of the Lord.
1:30	They would none of my counsell, but despised all my correction.
1:31	Therefore shall they eate of ye fruite of their owne way, and be filled with their owne deuises.
1:32	For ease slaieth the foolish, and the prosperitie of fooles destroyeth them.
1:33	But he that obeyeth me, shall dwell safely, and be quiet from feare of euill.
