Proverbs - Chapter: 24


24:1	Be not thou gelous ouer wycked men, and desyre not to be amonge them.
24:2	For ther herte ymagyneth to do hurte, and theyr lyppes talke of myschefe.
24:3	Thorow wysdome is an house buyled, and wyth vnderstandynge is it sett vp.
24:4	Thorow discrecion shalt the chambers be fylled with all costly and pleasaunt ryches.
24:5	A wyse man is euer stronge, yee, a man of vnderstanding encreaseth of strength.
24:6	For with discrecyon must warres be taken in hande, & where as are many that can geue councell, there is the victory.
24:7	Wysdom is to hye a thinge for a fole, for he darre not open his mouth in the gate.
24:8	He that ymagyneth myschefe, maye welbe called an vngracious personne.
24:9	The thought of the foolysh is synne, & the scornefull is an abhominacion vnto men.
24:10	If thou be ouersene and negligent in tyme of nede, then is thy strength but smal.
24:11	Deliuer them that go vnto death, & are led awaye to be slayne, & be not neglygent therin yf thou be able to do them good.
24:12	If thou wilt saye: I knewe not of it. Thinkest thou that he which made the hertes, doth not considre it? & that he which regardeth thy soule, seeth it not? Shall not be recompence euery man according to his worckes?
24:13	My sonne, thou eatest hony & the swete hony combe, because it is good & swete in thy mouth.
24:14	Euen so shall the knowledge of wysdome be vnto thy soule, assone as thou hast gotten it. And thow shalt haue longe dayes, yee, thy hope shall not be in vayne.
24:15	Laye no preuy wayte (o wicked man) vpon the house of the ryghteous & disquiete not his restyng place.
24:16	For a iust man falleth seuen tymes, & ryseth vp agayne, but the vngodly fall into wyckednes.
24:17	Reioyce not thou at the fall of thyne enemye, & lett not thyne herte be glad when he stombleth.
24:18	Lest the Lord (when seith it) be angrye, and turne hys wrath from hym vnto the.
24:19	Let not thy wrath & gelousy moue the, to folowe the wycked & vngodly.
24:20	And why? the wicked shall haue no posterite, and the candle of the vngodly shall be put out.
24:21	My sonne, feare thou the Lord & the kynge, & kepe no company wt them that slyde backe from his feare:
24:22	for theyr destruccion shall come sodenly, & who knoweth the aduersyte that maye come from them both?
24:23	These are also the sayenges of the wyse. It is not good, to haue respecte of any persone in iudgement.
24:24	He that sayeth to the vngodly: thou arte ryghteous hym shall the people curse, yee, the comentie shall abhorre him.
24:25	But they that rebuke the vngodly, In them doth God delite, & a ryche blessyng shall come vpon them.
24:26	Euery man shall kysse his lyppes, that geueth a good answere.
24:27	Fyrst make vp thy worck that is without, & loke well vnto that which thou hast in the felde & then buylde thyne house.
24:28	Be no false witnesse agaist thy neyghbour & speake no falshode wt thy lyppes.
24:29	Saye not: I will handle him, euen as he hath dealte wt me, & wyll rewarde euery man accordinge to his dedes.
24:30	I went by the felde of the slouthfull, & by the vyneiarde of the foolysh man.
24:31	And lo, it was all couered wt nettels, & stode full of thystles, & the stone wall was broken downe.
24:32	Thys I sawe, & considered it well: I loked vpon it, & toke it for a warnyng.
24:33	Yee, slepe on styll a lytle, slombre a lytle, folde thy handes together yet a lytle:
24:34	so shall pouerte come vnto the as one that trauayleth by the waye, & necessite lyke a weapened man.


24:1	Sue thou not yuele men, desire thou not to be with hem.
24:2	For the soule of hem bithenkith raueyns, and her lippis speken fraudis.
24:3	An hous schal be bildid bi wisdom, and schal be maad strong bi prudence.
24:4	Celeris schulen be fillid in teching, al riches preciouse and ful fair.
24:5	A wijs man is strong, and a lerned man is stalworth and miyti.
24:6	For whi batel is bigunnun with ordenaunce, and helthe schal be, where many counsels ben.
24:7	Wisdom is hiy to a fool; in the yate he schal not opene his mouth.
24:8	He that thenkith to do yuels, schal be clepid a fool.
24:9	The thouyte of a fool is synne; and a bacbitere is abhomynacioun of men.
24:10	If thou that hast slide, dispeirist in the dai of angwisch, thi strengthe schal be maad lesse.
24:11	Delyuere thou hem, that ben led to deth; and ceesse thou not to delyuere hem, that ben drawun to deth.
24:12	If thou seist, Strengthis suffisen not; he that is biholdere of the herte, vndirstondith, and no thing disseyueth the kepere of thi soule, and he schal yelde to a man bi hise werkis.
24:13	Mi sone, ete thou hony, for it is good; and an honycomb ful swete to thi throte.
24:14	`So and the techyng of wisdom is good to thi soule; and whanne thou hast founde it, thou schalt haue hope in the laste thingis, and thin hope schal not perische.
24:15	Aspie thou not, and seke not wickidnesse in the hous of a iust man, nether waste thou his reste.
24:16	For a iust man schal falle seuene sithis in the dai, and schal rise ayen; but wickid men schulen falle in to yuele.
24:17	Whanne thin enemye fallith, haue thou not ioye; and thin herte haue not ful out ioiyng in his fal;
24:18	lest perauenture the Lord se, and it displese hym, and he take awei his ire fro hym.
24:19	Stryue thou not with `the worste men, nether sue thou wickid men.
24:20	For whi yuele men han not hope of thingis to comynge, and the lanterne of wickid men schal be quenchid.
24:21	My sone, drede thou God, and the kyng; and be thou not medlid with bacbiteris.
24:22	For her perdicioun schal rise togidere sudenli, and who knowith the fal of euer either?
24:23	Also these thingis that suen ben to wise men. It is not good to knowe a persoone in doom.
24:24	Puplis schulen curse hem, that seien to a wickid man, Thou art iust; and lynagis schulen holde hem abhomynable.
24:25	Thei that repreuen iustli synners, schulen be preisid; and blessing schal come on hem.
24:26	He that answerith riytful wordis, schal kisse lippis.
24:27	Make redi thi werk with outforth, and worche thi feelde dilygentli, that thou bilde thin hous aftirward.
24:28	Be thou not a witnesse with out resonable cause ayens thi neiybore; nether flatere thou ony man with thi lippis.
24:29	Seie thou not, As he dide to me, so Y schal do to him, and Y schal yelde to ech man aftir his werk.
24:30	I passide bi the feeld of a slow man, and bi the vyner of a fonned man; and, lo!
24:31	nettlis hadden fillid al, thornes hadden hilid the hiyere part therof, and the wal of stoonys with out morter was distried.
24:32	And whanne Y hadde seyn this thing, Y settide in myn herte, and bi ensaumple Y lernyde techyng.
24:33	Hou longe slepist thou, slow man? whanne schalt thou ryse fro sleep? Sotheli thou schalt slepe a litil, thou schalt nappe a litil, thou schalt ioyne togidere the hondis a litil, to take reste;
24:34	and thi nedynesse as a currour schal come to thee, and thi beggerie as an armed man.


24:1	Be not thou gelous ouer wicked me, & desyre not thou to be amonge them.
24:2	For their herte ymagineth to do hurte, & their lippes talke of myschefe.
24:3	Thorow wy?dome an house shalbe buylded, & wt vnderstondinge it shalbe set vp.
24:4	Thorow discrecion shal ye chabers be fylled wt all costly & pleasaunt riches.
24:5	A wyse ma is stroge, yee a ma of vnderstodinge is better, the he yt is mightie of stregth.
24:6	For with discrecion must warres be take in honde, and where as are many yt can geue councell, there is ye victory.
24:7	Wy?dome is an hie thinge, yee eue to ye foole, for he darre not ope his mouth in ye gate.
24:8	He yt ymagineth myschefe, maye wel be called an vngracious personne.
24:9	The thoughte of ye foolish is synne, & ye scornefull is an abhominacion vnto me.
24:10	Yf thou be ouersene & necliget in tyme of nede, the is thy stregth but small.
24:11	Delyuer the yt go vnto death, & are led awaie to be slaine, & be not necliget therin.
24:12	Yf thou wilt saye: I knewe not of it. Thynkest thou yt he which made ye hertes, doth not cosidre it? & yt he which regardeth yi soule, seith it not? Shal not he recopence euery man acordinge to his workes?
24:13	My sonne, thou eatest hony & ye swete hony cobe, because it is good & swete in thy mouth.
24:14	Euen so shall ye knowlege of wysdome be vnto yi soule, as soone as thou hast gotte it. And there is good hope, yee yi hope shal not be in vayne.
24:15	Laye no preuy waite wickedly vpon ye house of ye rightuous, & disquiete not his restinge place.
24:16	For a iust ma falleth seuen tymes, & ryseth vp agayne, but ye vngodly fall in to wickednes.
24:17	Reioyce not thou at ye fall of thine enemie, and let not thine herte be glad whan he stombleth.
24:18	Lest ye LORDE (when he seyth it) be angrie, & turne his wrath from him vnto the.
24:19	Let not yi wrath & gelousy moue ye, to foolow ye wicked and vngodly.
24:20	And why? ye wicked hath nothinge to hope for, & ye cadle of the vngodly shall be put out.
24:21	My sonne, feare thou ye LORDE & ye kinge, & kepe no copany wt ye slaunderous:
24:22	for their destruccion shal come sodenly, & who knoweth ye fall of the both?
24:23	These are also ye saieges of ye wyse. It is not good, to haue respecte of any personne in iudgmet.
24:24	He yt saieth to ye vngodly: thou art rightuous, him shall the people curse, yee ye comotie shal abhorre him.
24:25	But they yt rebuke ye vngodly shalbe comended, & a riche blessinge shal come vpo the.
24:26	He maketh him self to be well loued, that geueth a good answere.
24:27	First make vp yi worke yt is wt out, & loke well vnto yt which thou hast in ye felde, & the buylde thine house.

24:29	Saye not: I wil hadle him, eue as he hath dealte wt me, & wil rewarde euery ma acordinge to his dedes.
24:30	I wente by ye felde of ye slouthfull, & by ye vynyarde of the foolish ma.
24:31	And lo, it was all couered wt nettels, & stode full of thistles, & ye stone wall was broke downe.
24:32	This I sawe, & cosidered it wel: I loked vpo it, & toke it for a warnynge.
24:33	Yee slepe on still a litle, slobre a litle, folde thine hodes together yet a litle:
24:34	so shall pouerte come vnto the as one yt trauayleth by ye waye, & necessite like a wapened man.
