Proverbs - Chapter: 23


23:1	When thou syttest at the table to eate wt a Lorde, ordre thy selfe manerly wt the thynges
23:2	that are set before the. Measure thyne appetite:
23:3	& yf thou wylt rule thyne awne selfe, be not ouer gredy of hys meate, for meate begyleth & disceaueth.
23:4	Take not ouer greate trauayle & labour to be riche, beware of soch a purpose.
23:5	Why wilt thou set thyne eye vpon the thynge, which sodenly vanisheth awaye? For riches make them selues winges, & take theyr flyght lyke an Aegle in to that ayre.
23:6	Eate not thou with the ennyous, & desyre not his meat,
23:7	for he doth as a man that pescribeth a mesure to the in his herte. He sayth vnto the: eate & dryncke, where as his herte is not wt the.
23:8	Yee, the morsels that thou hast eaten shalt thou perbrake & lese those swete wordes.
23:9	Tell nothinge in to the eares of a foole, for he wyll despyse the wysdome of thy wordes.
23:10	Remoue not the olde lande marke, & come not within the felde of the fatherlesse:
23:11	For he that delyuereth them, is mightie, euen he shall defende theyr cause against the.
23:12	Applye thyne herte vnto correccion, & thyne eare to the wordes of knowledge.
23:13	Witholde not correcion from the childe, for yf thou beatest him wt the rodd, he shall not dye therof.
23:14	Yf thou smyte him wt the rodde, thou shalt deliuer his soule from hell.
23:15	My sonne, yf thy herte receaue wysdome, my herte also shall reioyce:
23:16	yee, my reynes shalbe very glad: yf thy lippes speke the thinge that is ryght.
23:17	Let not thyne herte be gelous to folowe synners, but kepe the styll in the feare of the Lord all the daye longe:
23:18	for the ende is not yet come, & thy pacient abydynge shall not be in vayne.
23:19	My sonne, geue eare & be wyse, and set strayte thynehert in the waye of the Lord.
23:20	Kepe no company wt wyne bybbers & ryotous eaters of flesh:
23:21	for soch as be dronckardes & ryotous shall come to pouerte, & he that is geuen to moch slepe, shall go wt a ragged coate.
23:22	Geue eare vnto thy father that begat the, & despyse not thy mother when she is olde.
23:23	Labour for to get the trueth: sell yt not awaye, & so do by wysdome, nourtour & vnderstandyng:
23:24	for a ryghteous father is maruelous glad of a wyse sonne, and he that begettith a wyse chylde shall haue gret pleasure of him.
23:25	Do so that thy father & mother may be glad of the, & that she that bare the may reioyse.
23:26	My sonne, geue me thyne herte, & lett thyne eyes haue pleasure in my wayes.
23:27	For an whore is a depe graue, and an harlot is a narow pytt.
23:28	She lurketh lyke a thefe, and bringeth vnto her such men as be full of vyce.
23:29	Who hath wo? Who hath sorow? Who hath strife? Who hath brauling? & who hath woundes without cause Or who hath reed eyes?
23:30	Euen they that be euer at the wyne, & seke excesse.
23:31	Loke not thou vpon the wyne, how redd it is, & what a colour it geueth in the glasse.
23:32	It goeth downe softly, but at the last it byteth lyke a serpent, & styngeth as an Adder.
23:33	So shall thine eyes loke vnto straunge wemen, & thyne herte shall muse vpon frowarde thynges.
23:34	Yee, thou shalt be as though thou layest in the myddest of the see, or sleptest vpon the toppe of the mast of a shippe.
23:35	They wouded me (shalt thou saye) but it hath not hurte me: they haue all to broken me, but I felt it not. Whan I am well wakened, I will go to the drincke againe.


23:1	Whanne thou sittist, to ete with the prince, perseyue thou diligentli what thingis ben set bifore thi face,
23:2	and sette thou a withholding in thi throte. If netheles thou hast power on thi soule,
23:3	desire thou not of his metis, in whom is the breed of `a leesing.
23:4	Nyle thou trauele to be maad riche, but sette thou mesure to thi prudence.
23:5	Reise not thin iyen to richessis, whiche thou maist not haue; for tho schulen make to hem silf pennes, as of an egle, and tho schulen flee in to heuene.
23:6	Ete thou not with an enuyouse man, and desire thou not hise metis;
23:7	for at the licnesse of a fals dyuynour and of a coniectere, he gessith that, that he knowith not. He schal seie to thee, Ete thou and drinke; and his soule is not with thee.
23:8	Thou schalt brake out the metis, whiche thou hast ete; and thou schalt leese thi faire wordis.
23:9	Speke thou not in the eeris of vnwise men; for thei schulen dispise the teching of thi speche.
23:10	Touche thou not the termes of litle children; and entre thou not in to the feeld of fadirles and modirles children.
23:11	For the neiybore of hem is strong, and he schal deme her cause ayens thee.
23:12	Thin herte entre to techyng, and thin eeris `be redi to the wordis of kunnyng.
23:13	Nile thou withdrawe chastisyng fro a child; for thouy thou smyte hym with a yerde, he schal not die.
23:14	Thou schalt smyte hym with a yerde, and thou schalt delyuere his soule fro helle.
23:15	Mi sone, if thi soule is wijs, myn herte schal haue ioye with thee;
23:16	and my reynes schulen make ful out ioye, whanne thi lippis speken riytful thing.
23:17	Thin herte sue not synneris; but be thou in the drede of the Lord al dai.
23:18	For thou schalt haue hope at the laste, and thin abidyng schal not be don awei.
23:19	Mi sone, here thou, and be thou wijs, and dresse thi soule in the weie.
23:20	Nyle thou be in the feestis of drinkeris, nether in the ofte etyngis of hem, that bryngen togidere fleischis to ete.
23:21	For men yyuynge tent to drinkis, and yyuyng mussels togidere, schulen be waastid, and napping schal be clothid with clothis.
23:22	Here thi fadir, that gendride thee; and dispise not thi modir, whanne sche is eld.
23:23	Bie thou treuthe, and nyle thou sille wisdom, and doctryn, and vndurstonding.
23:24	The fadir of a iust man ioieth ful out with ioie; he that gendride a wijs man, schal be glad in hym.
23:25	Thi fadir and thi modir haue ioye, and he that gendride thee, make ful out ioye.
23:26	My sone, yyue thin herte to me, and thin iyen kepe my weyes.
23:27	For an hoore is a deep diche, and an alien womman is a streit pit.
23:28	Sche settith aspie in the weie, as a theef; and sche schal sle hem, whiche sche schal se vnwar.
23:29	To whom is wo? to whos fadir is wo? to whom ben chidingis? to whom ben dichis? to whom ben woundis with out cause? to whom is puttyng out of iyen?
23:30	Whether not to hem, that dwellen in wyn, and studien to drynke al of cuppis?
23:31	Biholde thou not wyn, whanne it sparclith, whanne the colour therof schyneth in a ver.
23:32	It entrith swetli, but at the laste it schal bite as an eddre doith, and as a cocatrice it schal schede abrood venyms.
23:33	Thin iyen schulen se straunge wymmen, and thi herte schal speke weiwerd thingis.
23:34	And thou schalt be as a man slepinge in the myddis of the see, and as a gouernour aslepid, whanne the steere is lost.
23:35	And thou schalt seie, Thei beeten me, but Y hadde not sorewe; thei drowen me, and Y feelide not; whanne schal Y wake out, and Y schal fynde wynes eft?


23:1	When thou syttest at the table to eate wt a lorde, ordre thy self manerly wt ye thinges
23:2	that are set before ye Measure thine appetite:
23:3	and yf thou wilt rule thine owne self, be not ouer gredy of his meate, for meate begyleth and disceaueth.
23:4	Take not ouer greate trauayle and labor to be riche, bewarre of soch a purpose.
23:5	Why wilt thou set thine eye vpon ye thinge, which sodenly vanisheth awaye? For riches make them selues wynges, and take their flight like an Aegle in to ye ayre.
23:6	Eate not thou wt ye envyous, and desyre no his meate,
23:7	for he hath a maruelous herte. He sayeth vnto ye: eate and drynke, where as his herte is not wt ye.
23:8	Yee ye morsels that thou hast eaten shalt thou perbreake, and lese those swete wordes.
23:9	Tel nothinge in to ye eares of a foole, for he wyl despyse the wy?dome of thy wordes.
23:10	Remoue not ye olde lande marke, and come not within ye felde of the fatherlesse:
23:11	For he yt deliuereth them is mightie, euen he shal defende their cause agaynst the.
23:12	Applie thine herte vnto lernynge, and thine eare to the wordes of knowlege.
23:13	Witholde not correccion from ye childe, for yf thou beatest him wt the rodde, he shal not dye therof.
23:14	Thou smytest him wt the rodde, but thou delyuerest his soule from hell.
23:15	My sonne, yf yi herte receaue wy?dome, my herte also shal reioyce:
23:16	yee my reynes shalbe very glad, yf yi lyppes speake the thinge yt is right.
23:17	Let not thine herte be gelous to folowe synners, but kepe ye still in the feare of the LORDE all the daye loge:
23:18	for the ende is not yet come, and thy pacient abydinge shal not be in vayne.
23:19	My sonne, ue eare & be wyse, so shal thine hert prospere in the waye.
23:20	Kepe no company wt wyne bebbers and ryotous eaters of flesh:
23:21	for soch as be dronckardes and ryotous, shal come to pouerte, & he that is geuen to moch slepe, shal go wt a ragged cote.
23:22	Geue eare vnto thy father that begat the, and despyse not thy mother whan she is olde.
23:23	Labor for to get ye treuth: sell not awaye wy?dome, nourtor & vnderstodinge
23:24	(for a righteous father is maruelous glad of a wyse sonne, & delyteth in hi)
23:25	so shal thy father be glad, and thy mother that bare the, shal reioyse.
23:26	My sonne, geue me thyne herte, and let thine eyes haue pleasure in my wayes.
23:27	For an whore is a depe graue, and an harlot is a narow pytt.
23:28	She lurketh like a thefe, and those that be not awarre she brigeth vnto her.
23:29	Where is wo? where is sorow? where is strife? where is braulynge? where are woundes without cause? where be reed eyes?
23:30	Euen amonge those that be euer at the wyne, and seke out where the best is.
23:31	Loke not thou vpon the wyne, how reed it is, and what a color it geueth in the glasse.
23:32	It goeth downe softly, but at the last it byteth like a serpet, and styngeth as an Adder.
23:33	So shal thine eyes loke vnto straunge women, & thine herte shal muse vpon frowarde thinges.
23:34	Yee thou shalt be as though thou slepte, in ye myddest of ye see, or vpo ye toppe of the mast.
23:35	They wounded me (shalt thou saie) but it hath not hurte me, they smote me, but I felt it not. Whe I am wel wakened, I wil go to ye drynke agayne.
