| 6:1 | My sonne yf thou be suertye for thy neyghboure, and hast fastened thyne hand for another man, |
| 6:2 | thou art bounde wt thyne awne wordes, and taken with thine awne speache. |
| 6:3 | Therfore, my sonne, do thys & thou shalt be discharged: when thou art come into thy neighbours daunger. Goo thy wayes then soone, humble thy selfe, and with thy frendes intreate thy creditour: |
| 6:4 | let not thyne eyes slepe, ner thyne eye lyddes slomber. |
| 6:5 | Saue thy selfe as a doo from the hande of the huntre, & as a byrde from the hande of the fouler. |
| 6:6 | Go to the Emmet (thou slougard) consydre herwayes, & lerne to be wyse. |
| 6:7 | She hath no guyde, no ouersear nor ruler: |
| 6:8 | yet in the Sommer she prouideth her meate, and gathereth her fode to gether in the haruest. |
| 6:9 | Howe longe wylt thou slepe, thou slougysh man? When wylt thou aryse out of thy slepe? |
| 6:10 | Yee slepe on styll a lytle, slomber a lytle, foulde thyne handes together yet a lytle, that thou mayest slepe: |
| 6:11 | so shall pouertye come vnto the as on that trauayleth by the waye, & necessytelke a weapened man. |
| 6:12 | An vngodly person, a wycked man goeth with a frowarde mouth |
| 6:13 | he wyncketh with his eyes, he tokeneth with hys fete, he poynteth with hys fyngers, |
| 6:14 | he is euer ymagenynge myschefe, and frowardnesse in hys herte, & causeth discorde. |
| 6:15 | Therfore shall hys destruccyon come hastly vpon him, sodenly shall he be all to broken, and not be healed. |
| 6:16 | These syxe thynges doth the Lord hate, and the seuenth he vtterly abhorreth: |
| 6:17 | A proude looke a lyinge tonge, handes that shed innocent bloude, |
| 6:18 | an herte that goeth aboute wyth wycked ymaginacyons fete that be swyfte in rennynge to do myschefe, |
| 6:19 | a false wytnesse that bringeth vp lyes, and soche one as soweth discorde amonge brethren. |
| 6:20 | My sonne, kepe thy fathers commaundement, and forsake not the lawe of thy mother. |
| 6:21 | Put them vp together in thyne herte, and bynde them aboute thy neck. |
| 6:22 | That they may leade the where thou goest, preserue the when thou art a slepe, and that when thou awakest, thou mayest talke of them. |
| 6:23 | For the commaundement is a lanterne, and the lawe a lyght: yee chastenyng and nourtoure is the waye of lyfe |
| 6:24 | that they may kepe the from the euell woman, and from the flatteryng tonge of the harlote: |
| 6:25 | that thou lust not after her beauty in thyne herte, and lest thou be taken with her fayre lookes. |
| 6:26 | An harlot wyll make a man to begge his bread, and a woman wyll hunt for the precyous lyfe. |
| 6:27 | Maye a man take fyre in hys bosome and hys clothes not be brent? |
| 6:28 | Or can one go vpon hote coales, and hys fete not be hurte? |
| 6:29 | Euen so, whosoeuer goeth into his neyghbours wyfe, and toucheth her, cannot be vngylty. |
| 6:30 | Men do not vtterly despyse a thefe that stealeth to satisfye hys soule, when he is hungry: |
| 6:31 | but yf he maye be gotten, he restoreth agayne seuen tymes as moche, or els he maketh recompense with all the good of hys house. |
| 6:32 | But whoso committeth aduoutry with a woman, he is a foole and bryngeth his lyfe to destruction. |
| 6:33 | He getteth hym selfe also shame and dishonour, soche as shall neuer be put out. |
| 6:34 | For the gelousy and wrath of the man wyll not be intreated, |
| 6:35 | no though thou woldest offre him great gyftes to make amendes, he will not receaue them. |
| 6:1 | Mi sone, if thou hast bihiyt for thi freend; thou hast fastned thin hoond at a straunger. |
| 6:2 | Thou art boundun bi the wordis of thi mouth; and thou art takun with thin owne wordis. |
| 6:3 | Therfor, my sone, do thou that that Y seie, and delyuere thi silf; for thou hast fallun in to the hond of thi neiybore. Renne thou aboute, haste thou, reise thi freend; |
| 6:4 | yyue thou not sleep to thin iyen, nether thin iyeliddis nappe. |
| 6:5 | Be thou rauyschid as a doo fro the hond; and as a bridde fro aspiyngis of the foulere. |
| 6:6 | O! thou slowe man, go to the `amte, ether pissemyre; and biholde thou hise weies, and lerne thou wisdom. |
| 6:7 | Which whanne he hath no duyk, nethir comaundour, nether prince; |
| 6:8 | makith redi in somer mete to hym silf, and gaderith togidere in heruest that, that he schal ete. |
| 6:9 | Hou long schalt thou, slow man, slepe? whanne schalt thou rise fro thi sleep? |
| 6:10 | A litil thou schalt slepe, a litil thou schalt nappe; a litil thou schalt ioyne togidere thin hondis, that thou slepe. |
| 6:11 | And nedynesse, as a weigoere, schal come to thee; and pouert, as an armed man. Forsothe if thou art not slow, thi ripe corn schal come as a welle; and nedynesse schal fle fer fro thee. |
| 6:12 | A man apostata, a man vnprofitable, he goith with a weiward mouth; |
| 6:13 | he bekeneth with iyen, he trampith with the foot, he spekith with the fyngur, |
| 6:14 | bi schrewid herte he ymagyneth yuel, and in al tyme he sowith dissenciouns. |
| 6:15 | His perdicioun schal come to hym anoon, and he schal be brokun sodeynli; and he schal no more haue medecyn. |
| 6:16 | Sixe thingis ben, whyche the Lord hatith; and hise soule cursith the seuenthe thing. |
| 6:17 | Hiye iyen, a tunge liere, hondis schedinge out innocent blood, |
| 6:18 | an herte ymagynynge worste thouytis, feet swifte to renne in to yuel, |
| 6:19 | a man bringynge forth lesingis, a fals witnesse; and him that sowith discordis among britheren. |
| 6:20 | Mi sone, kepe the comaundementis of thi fadir; and forsake not the lawe of thi modir. |
| 6:21 | Bynde thou tho continueli in thin herte; and cumpasse `to thi throte. |
| 6:22 | Whanne thou goist, go tho with thee; whanne thou slepist, kepe tho thee; and thou wakynge speke with tho. |
| 6:23 | For the comaundement of God is a lanterne, and the lawe is liyt, and the blamyng of techyng is the weie of lijf; |
| 6:24 | `that the comaundementis kepe thee fro an yuel womman, and fro a flaterynge tunge of a straunge womman. |
| 6:25 | Thin herte coueite not the fairnesse of hir; nether be thou takun bi the signes of hir. |
| 6:26 | For the prijs of an hoore is vnnethe of o loof; but a womman takith the preciouse soule of a man. |
| 6:27 | Whether a man mai hide fier in his bosum, that hise clothis brenne not; |
| 6:28 | ethir go on colis, and hise feet be not brent? |
| 6:29 | So he that entrith to the wijf of his neiybore; schal not be cleene, whanne he hath touchid hir. |
| 6:30 | It is not greet synne, whanne a man stelith; for he stelith to fille an hungri soule. |
| 6:31 | And he takun schal yelde the seuenthe fold; and he schal yyue al the catel of his hous, and schal delyuere hym silf. |
| 6:32 | But he that is avouter; schal leese his soule, for the pouert of herte. |
| 6:33 | He gaderith filthe, and sclaundrith to hym silf; and his schenschip schal not be don awei. |
| 6:34 | For the feruent loue and strong veniaunce of the man schal not spare in the dai of veniaunce, |
| 6:35 | nether schal assente to the preieris of ony; nether schal take ful many yiftis for raunsum. |
| 6:1 | My sone, yf thou be suertie for yi neghboure, thou hast fastened thine hode wt another ma: |
| 6:2 | yee thou art boude with thine owne wordes, and taken wt thine owne speach. |
| 6:3 | Therfore (my sonne) do this, discharge thy self, for thou art come i to yi neghbours daunger. Go thy waye then soone, & intreate thy neghboure: |
| 6:4 | let not thyne eyes slepe, ner thine eye lyddes slomber. |
| 6:5 | Saue thy self as a doo fro ye honde, & as a byrde fro the hode of the fouler. |
| 6:6 | Go to the Emmet (thou slogarde) cosidre hir wayes, & lerne to be wyse. |
| 6:7 | She hath no gyde, no teacher, no leder: |
| 6:8 | yet in the sommer she prouideth hir meate, & gathereth hir foode together i ye haruest. |
| 6:9 | How loge wilt thou slepe, thou slogish ma? Wha wilt thou aryse out of thy slepe? |
| 6:10 | Yee slepe on still a litle, slober a litle, folde thine handes together yet a litle, that thou mayest slepe: |
| 6:11 | so shal pouerte come vnto the as one yt trauayleth by the waye, & necessite like a wapened man. |
| 6:12 | A dissemblynge person, a wicked man goeth with a frowarde mouth: |
| 6:13 | he wyncketh with his eyes, he tokeneth wt his fete, he poynteth wt his fyngers, |
| 6:14 | he is euer ymageninge myschefe & frowardnesse in his hert, & causeth discorde. |
| 6:15 | Therfore shal his destruccion come hastely vpo him, sodenly shal he be all tobroken, and not be healed. |
| 6:16 | There be sixe thinges, which the LORDE hateth, & the seuenth he vtterly abhorreth: |
| 6:17 | A proude loke, a dyssemblynge tonge, hades that shed innocent bloude, |
| 6:18 | an herte yt goeth aboute wt wicked ymaginacios, fete that be swift in rennynge to do myschefe, |
| 6:19 | a false wytnesse yt bringeth vp lyes, & soch one as soweth discorde amonge brethren. |
| 6:20 | My sonne, kepe thy fathers comaundemetes, & forsake not ye lawe of thy mother. |
| 6:21 | Put the vp together in thine herte, and bynde the aboute thy necke. |
| 6:22 | That they maye lede the where thou goest, preserue the when thou art aslepe, & yt when thou awakest, thou mayest talke of the |
| 6:23 | (For the commaundement is a lanterne, and the lawe a light: yee chastenynge & nurtoure is ye waye of life) |
| 6:24 | that they maye kepe the fro the euell woman, & from the flaterynge tonge of the harlott: |
| 6:25 | yt thou lust not after her beuty in thine herte, & lest thou be take wt hir fayre lokes. |
| 6:26 | An harlot wil make a ma to begg his bred, but a maried woman wil hunt for ye precious life. |
| 6:27 | Maye a man take fyre in his bosome, and his clothes not be brent? |
| 6:28 | Or can one go vpon hote coales, and his fete not be hurte? |
| 6:29 | Euen so, who so euer goeth in to his neghbours wife, and toucheth her, can not be vngiltie. |
| 6:30 | Men do not vtterly despyse a thefe, that stealeth to satisfie his soule, when he is hongerie: |
| 6:31 | but yf he maye be gotten, he restoreth agayne seuen tymes asmoch, or els he maketh recompence with all the good of his house. |
| 6:32 | But who so comitteth aduoutrie with a woma, he is a foole, and bryngeth his life to destruccion. |
| 6:33 | He getteth him self also shame & dishonor, soch as shal neuer be put out. |
| 6:34 | For the gelousy & wrath of the ma will not be itreated, |
| 6:35 | no though thou woldest ofre him greate giftes to make amendes, he will not receaue them. |
