| [1]Whoso lovethH157[H8802] instructionH4148 lovethH157[H8802] knowledgeH1847: but he that hatethH8130[H8802] reproofH8433 is brutishH1198. |
[1]He that loueth chastisyng, loueth kunnyng; but he that hatith blamyngis, is vnwijs. |
| [2]A goodH2896 man obtainethH6329[H8686] favourH7522 of the LORDH3068: but a manH376 of wicked devicesH4209 will he condemnH7561.[H8686] |
[2]He that is good, schal drawe to hym silf grace of the Lord; but he that tristith in hise thouytis, doith wickidli. |
| [3]A manH120 shall not be establishedH3559[H8735] by wickednessH7562: but the rootH8328 of the righteousH6662 shall not be movedH4131.[H8735] |
[3]A man schal not be maad strong by wyckidnesse; and the root of iust men schal not be moued. |
| [4]A virtuousH2428 womanH802 is a crownH5850 to her husbandH1167: but she that maketh ashamedH954[H8688] is as rottennessH7538 in his bonesH6106. |
[4]A diligent womman is a coroun to hir hosebond; and rot is in the boonys of that womman, that doith thingis worthi of confusioun. |
| [5]The thoughtsH4284 of the righteousH6662 are rightH4941: but the counselsH8458 of the wickedH7563 are deceitH4820. |
[5]The thouytis of iust men ben domes; and the counselis of wickid men ben gileful. |
| [6]The wordsH1697 of the wickedH7563 are to lie in waitH693[H8800] for bloodH1818: but the mouthH6310 of the uprightH3477 shall deliverH5337 themH8686. |
[6]The wordis of wickid men setten tresoun to blood; the mouth of iust men schal delyuere hem. |
| [7]The wickedH7563 are overthrownH2015[H8800], and are not: but the houseH1004 of the righteousH6662 shall standH5975.[H8799] |
[7]Turne thou wickid men, and thei schulen not be; but the housis of iust men schulen dwelle perfitli. |
| [8]A manH376 shall be commendedH1984[H8792] accordingH6310 to his wisdomH7922: but he that is of a perverseH5753[H8737] heartH3820 shall be despisedH937. |
[8]A man schal be knowun bi his teching; but he that is veyn and hertles, schal be open to dispising. |
| [9]He that is despisedH7034[H8737], and hath a servantH5650, is betterH2896 than he that honourethH3513[H8693] himself, and lackethH2638 breadH3899. |
[9]Betere is a pore man, and sufficient to him silf, than a gloriouse man, and nedi of breed. |
| [10]A righteousH6662 man regardethH3045[H8802] the lifeH5315 of his beastH929: but the tender merciesH7356 of the wickedH7563 are cruelH394. |
[10]A iust man knowith the soulis of hise werk beestis; but the entrailis of wickid men ben cruel. |
| [11]He that tillethH5647[H8802] his landH127 shall be satisfiedH7646[H8799] with breadH3899: but he that followethH7291[H8764] vainH7386 persons is voidH2638 of understandingH3820. |
[11]He that worchith his lond, schal be fillid with looues; but he that sueth idilnesse, is moost fool. He that is swete, lyueth in temperaunces; and in hise monestyngis he forsakith dispisyngis. |
| [12]The wickedH7563 desirethH2530[H8804] the netH4685 of evilH7451 men: but the rootH8328 of the righteousH6662 yieldethH5414 fruitH8799. |
[12]The desir of a wickid man is the memorial of worste thingis; but the roote of iust men schal encreesse. |
| [13]The wickedH7451 is snaredH4170 by the transgressionH6588 of his lipsH8193: but the justH6662 shall come outH3318[H8799] of troubleH6869. |
[13]For the synnes of lippis `falling doun neiyeth to an yuel man; but a iust man schal scape fro angwisch. |
| [14]A manH376 shall be satisfiedH7646[H8799] with goodH2896 by the fruitH6529 of his mouthH6310: and the recompenceH1576 of a man'sH120 handsH3027 shall be renderedH7725[H8686][H8675][H7725] unto himH8799. |
[14]Of the fruyt of his mouth ech man schal be fillid with goodis; and bi the werkis of hise hondis it schal be yoldun to him. |
| [15]The wayH1870 of a foolH191 is rightH3477 in his own eyesH5869: but he that hearkenethH8085[H8802] unto counselH6098 is wiseH2450. |
[15]The weie of a fool is riytful in hise iyen; but he that is wijs, herith counsels. |
| [16]A fool'sH191 wrathH3708 is presentlyH3117 knownH3045[H8735]: but a prudentH6175 man coverethH3680[H8802] shameH7036. |
[16]A fool schewith anoon his ire; but he that dissymelith wrongis, is wijs. |
| [17]He that speakethH6315[H8686] truthH530 sheweth forthH5046[H8686] righteousnessH6664: but a falseH8267 witnessH5707 deceitH4820. |
[17]He that spekith that, that he knowith, is a iuge of riytfulnesse; but he that lieth, is a gileful witnesse. |
| [18]There isH3426 that speakethH981[H8802] like the piercingsH4094 of a swordH2719: but the tongueH3956 of the wiseH2450 is healthH4832. |
[18]A man is that bihetith, and he is prickid as with the swerd of conscience; but the tunge of wise men is helthe. |
| [19]The lipH8193 of truthH571 shall be establishedH3559[H8735] for everH5703: but a lyingH8267 tongueH3956 is but for a momentH7280.[H8686] |
[19]The lippe of treuthe schal be stidfast with outen ende; but he that is a sudeyn witnesse, makith redi the tunge of leesyng. |
| [20]DeceitH4820 is in the heartH3820 of them that imagineH2790[H8802] evilH7451: but to the counsellorsH3289[H8802] of peaceH7965 is joyH8057. |
[20]Gile is in the herte of hem that thenken yuels; but ioye sueth hem, that maken counsels of pees. |
| [21]There shall no evilH205 happenH579[H8792] to the justH6662: but the wickedH7563 shall be filledH4390[H8804] with mischiefH7451. |
[21]What euere bifallith to a iust man, it schal not make hym sori; but wickid men schulen be fillid with yuel. |
| [22]LyingH8267 lipsH8193 are abominationH8441 to the LORDH3068: but they that dealH6213[H8802] trulyH530 are his delightH7522. |
[22]False lippis is abhominacioun to the Lord; but thei that don feithfuli, plesen him. |
| [23]A prudentH6175 manH120 concealethH3680[H8802] knowledgeH1847: but the heartH3820 of foolsH3684 proclaimethH7121[H8799] foolishnessH200. |
[23]A fel man hilith kunnyng; and the herte of vnwise men stirith foli. |
| [24]The handH3027 of the diligentH2742 shall bear ruleH4910[H8799]: but the slothfulH7423 shall be under tributeH4522. |
[24]The hond of stronge men schal haue lordschip; but the hond that is slow, schal serue to tributis. |
| [25]HeavinessH1674 in the heartH3820 of manH376 maketh it stoopH7812[H8686]: but a goodH2896 wordH1697 maketh it gladH8055.[H8762] |
[25]Morenynge in the herte of a iust man schal make hym meke; and he schal be maad glad bi a good word. |
| [26]The righteousH6662 is more excellentH8446[H8686] than his neighbourH7453: but the wayH1870 of the wickedH7563 seducethH8582 themH8686. |
[26]He that dispisith harm for a frend, is a iust man; but the weie of wickid men schal disseyue hem. |
| [27]The slothfulH7423 man roastethH2760[H8799] not that which he took in huntingH6718: but the substanceH1952 of a diligentH2742 manH120 is preciousH3368. |
[27]A gileful man schal not fynde wynnyng; and the substaunce of man schal be the prijs of gold. |
| [28]In the wayH734 of righteousnessH6666 is lifeH2416; and in the pathwayH5410[H1870] thereof there is no deathH4194. |
[28]Lijf is in the path of riytfulnesse; but the wrong weie leedith to deeth. |
