3:1	Mi sone, foryete thou not my lawe; and thyn herte kepe my comaundementis.
3:2	For tho schulen sette to thee the lengthe of daies, and the yeeris of lijf, and pees.
3:3	Merci and treuthe forsake thee not; bynde thou tho to thi throte, and write in the tablis of thin herte.
3:4	And thou schalt fynde grace, and good teching bifore God and men.
3:5	Haue thou trist in the Lord, of al thin herte; and triste thou not to thi prudence.
3:6	In alle thi weies thenke thou on hym, and he schal dresse thi goyngis.
3:7	Be thou not wijs anentis thi silf; drede thou God, and go awei fro yuel.
3:8	For whi helthe schal be in thi nawle, and moisting of thi boonys.
3:9	Onoure thou the Lord of thi catel, and of the beste of alle thi fruytis yyue thou to pore men;
3:10	and thi bernes schulen be fillid with abundaunce, and pressours schulen flowe with wiyn.
3:11	My sone, caste thou not awei the teching of the Lord; and faile thou not, whanne thou art chastisid of him.
3:12	For the Lord chastisith hym, whom he loueth; and as a fadir in the sone he plesith hym.
3:13	Blessid is the man that fyndith wisdom, and which flowith with prudence.
3:14	The geting therof is betere than the marchaundie of gold and of siluer; the fruytis therof ben the firste and clenneste.
3:15	It is preciousere than alle richessis; and alle thingis that ben desirid, moun not be comparisound to this.
3:16	Lengthe of daies is in the riythalf therof, and richessis and glorie ben in the lifthalf therof.
3:17	The weies therof ben feire weies, and alle the pathis therof ben pesible.
3:18	It is a tre of lijf to hem that taken it; and he that holdith it, is blessid.
3:19	The Lord foundide the erthe bi wisdom; he stablischide heuenes bi prudence.
3:20	The depthis of watris braken out bi his wisdom; and cloudis wexen togidere bi dewe.
3:21	My sone, these thingis flete not awey fro thin iyen; kepe thou my lawe, and my counsel;
3:22	and lijf schal be to thi soule, and grace `schal be to thi chekis.
3:23	Thanne thou schalt go tristili in thi weie; and thi foot schal not snapere.
3:24	If thou schalt slepe, thou schalt not drede; thou schalt reste, and thi sleep schal be soft.
3:25	Drede thou not bi sudeyne feer, and the powers of wickid men fallynge in on thee.
3:26	For the Lord schal be at thi side; and he schal kepe thi foot, that thou be not takun.
3:27	Nil thou forbede to do wel him that mai; if thou maist, and do thou wel.
3:28	Seie thou not to thi frend, Go, and turne thou ayen, and to morewe Y schal yyue to thee; whanne thou maist yyue anoon.
3:29	Ymagyne thou not yuel to thi freend, whanne he hath trist in thee.
3:30	Stryue thou not ayens a man with out cause, whanne he doith noon yuel to thee.
3:31	Sue thou not an vniust man, sue thou not hise weies.
3:32	For ech disseyuer is abhomynacioun of the Lord; and his speking is with simple men.
3:33	Nedinesse is sent of the Lord in the hous of a wickid man; but the dwelling places of iust men schulen be blessid.
3:34	He schal scorne scorneris; and he schal yyue grace to mylde men.
3:35	Wise men schulen haue glorie; enhaunsing of foolis is schenschipe.


3:1	My sonne, forget not thou my Lawe, but let thine heart keepe my commandements.
3:2	For they shall increase the length of thy dayes and the yeeres of life, and thy prosperitie.
3:3	Let not mercie and trueth forsake thee: binde them on thy necke, and write them vpon the table of thine heart.
3:4	So shalt thou finde fauour and good vnderstanding in the sight of God and man.
3:5	Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and leane not vnto thine owne wisdome.
3:6	In all thy wayes acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy wayes.
3:7	Be not wise in thine owne eyes: but feare the Lord, and depart from euill.
3:8	So health shalbe vnto thy nauel, and marowe vnto thy bones.
3:9	Honour the Lord with thy riches, and with the first fruites of all thine increase.
3:10	So shall thy barnes be filled with abundance, and thy presses shall burst with newe wine.
3:11	My sonne, refuse not the chastening of the Lord, neither be grieued with his correction.
3:12	For the Lord correcteth him, whome he loueth, euen as the father doeth the childe in whom he deliteth.
3:13	Blessed is the man that findeth wisedome, and the man that getteth vnderstanding.
3:14	For the marchandise thereof is better then the marchandise of siluer, and the gaine thereof is better then golde.
3:15	It is more precious then pearles: and all things that thou canst desire, are not to be compared vnto her.
3:16	Length of dayes is in her right hand, and in her left hand riches and glory.
3:17	Her wayes are wayes of pleasure, and all her pathes prosperitie.
3:18	She is a tree of life to them that lay holde on her, and blessed is he that retaineth her.
3:19	The Lord by wisdome hath layde the foundation of the earth, and hath stablished the heauens through vnderstanding.
3:20	By his knowledge the depthes are broken vp, and the cloudes droppe downe the dewe.
3:21	My sonne, let not these things depart from thine eyes, but obserue wisdome, and counsell.
3:22	So they shalbe life to thy soule, and grace vnto thy necke.
3:23	Then shalt thou walke safely by thy way: and thy foote shall not stumble.
3:24	If thou sleepest, thou shalt not bee afraide, and when thou sleepest, thy sleepe shalbe sweete.
3:25	Thou shalt not feare for any sudden feare, neither for the destruction of the wicked, when it commeth.
3:26	For the Lord shall be for thine assurance, and shall preserue thy foote from taking.
3:27	Withhold not the good from the owners thereof, though there be power in thine hand to doe it.
3:28	Say not vnto thy neighbour, Go and come againe, and to morow wil I giue thee, if thou now haue it.
3:29	Intend none hurt against thy neighbour, seeing he doeth dwell without feare by thee.
3:30	Striue not with a man causelesse, when he hath done thee no harme.
3:31	Bee not enuious for the wicked man, neither chuse any of his wayes.
3:32	For the frowarde is abomination vnto the Lord: but his secret is with the righteous.
3:33	The curse of the Lord is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the righteous.
3:34	With the scornefull he scorneth, but hee giueth grace vnto the humble.
3:35	The wise shall inherite glorie: but fooles dishonour, though they be exalted.
