4:2	For I haue geuen you a good doctryne, forsake nott ye my lawe.
4:3	For when I my selfe was my fathers deare sonne, and tenderly beloued of my mother:
4:4	he taught me also, and sayde vnto me: Lett thyne herte receaue my wordes, kepe my commaundementes, and thou shalt lyue.
4:5	Get the wysdome: and get the vnderstanding: forget not the wordes of my mouth, and shrynke not from them.

4:16	For they cannot slepe, excepte they haue fyrst done some myschefe: nether take they anye reste, excepte they haue fyrst done some harme.
4:17	For they eate the breade of wyckednesse, and dryncke the wyne of robberye.
4:18	The pathe of the ryghtewes shyneth as the lyght, that is euer brighter and brighter vnto the perfect daye.
4:19	But the waye of the vngodly is as the darcknesse: they knowe nott where they fall.

4:16	For thei slepen not, `no but thei han do yuele; and sleep is rauyschid fro hem, no but thei han disseyued.
4:17	Thei eten the breed of vnpite, and drinken the wyn of wickidnesse.
4:18	But the path of iust men goith forth as liyt schynynge, and encreessith til to perfit dai.
4:19	The weie of wickid men is derk; thei witen not where thei schulen falle.
4:20	Mi sone, herkene thou my wordis; and bowe doun thin eeris to my spechis.
4:21	Go not tho awei fro thyn iyen; kepe thou hem in the myddil of thin herte.
4:22	For tho ben lijf to men fyndynge thoo, and heelthe `of al fleisch.
4:23	With al keping kepe thin herte, for lijf cometh forth of it.
