| [1]He that loueth chastisyng, loueth kunnyng; but he that hatith blamyngis, is vnwijs. |
[1]Who so loueth correction loueth knowledge: but he that hateth to be reproued is a foole |
| [2]He that is good, schal drawe to hym silf grace of the Lord; but he that tristith in hise thouytis, doith wickidli. |

| [5]The thouytis of iust men ben domes; and the counselis of wickid men ben gileful. |
[5]The thoughtes of the ryghteous are ryght: but the imaginations of the vngodly are deceptfull |
| [6]The wordis of wickid men setten tresoun to blood; the mouth of iust men schal delyuere hem. |
[6]The talkyng of the vngodly is howe they may lay wayte for blood: but the mouth of the righteous will deliuer the |
| [7]Turne thou wickid men, and thei schulen not be; but the housis of iust men schulen dwelle perfitli. |
[7]God ouerturneth the [estate of the] wicked, and they stande not: but the house of the ryghteous shall stande |
| [8]A man schal be knowun bi his teching; but he that is veyn and hertles, schal be open to dispising. |
[8]A man shalbe commended for his wisdome: but a foole shalbe dispised |
| [9]Betere is a pore man, and sufficient to him silf, than a gloriouse man, and nedi of breed. |
[9]He that is dispised and is yet his owne man, is better then the glorious that lacketh bread |
| [10]A iust man knowith the soulis of hise werk beestis; but the entrailis of wickid men ben cruel. |
[10]A ryghteous man regardeth the lyfe of his cattell: but the vngodly haue cruell heartes |
| [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. |
[11]He that tylleth his lande, shall haue plenteousnesse of bread: but he that foloweth idlenesse is a very foole |

| [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. |
[14]Man shalbe satisfied with good thinges: by the fruite of his mouth, and after the workes of his handes shall he be rewarded |
| [15]The weie of a fool is riytful in hise iyen; but he that is wijs, herith counsels. |
[15]The way of a foole is strayght in his owne eyes: but he that hearkeneth vnto counsayle is wise |
| [16]A fool schewith anoon his ire; but he that dissymelith wrongis, is wijs. |
[16]A foole vttereth his wrath in all the haste: but a discrete man couereth his owne shame |
| [17]He that spekith that, that he knowith, is a iuge of riytfulnesse; but he that lieth, is a gileful witnesse. |
[17]A iust man wyll tell the trueth and shewe the thyng that is ryght: but a false witnesse deceaueth |
| [18]A man is that bihetith, and he is prickid as with the swerd of conscience; but the tunge of wise men is helthe. |
[18]A slaunderous person pricketh lyke a sworde: but a wise mans tongue is wholsome |
| [19]The lippe of treuthe schal be stidfast with outen ende; but he that is a sudeyn witnesse, makith redi the tunge of leesyng. |
[19]The lippe of trueth shalbe stable for euer: but a dissemblyng tongue is soone chaunged |
| [20]Gile is in the herte of hem that thenken yuels; but ioye sueth hem, that maken counsels of pees. |
[20]Deceipt is in the heart of them that imagine euyll: but to the counsaylers of peace shalbe ioy |
| [21]What euere bifallith to a iust man, it schal not make hym sori; but wickid men schulen be fillid with yuel. |
[21]There shall no aduersitie happen vnto the iust: but the vngodly shalbe fylled with miserie |
| [22]False lippis is abhominacioun to the Lord; but thei that don feithfuli, plesen him. |
[22]The Lorde abhorreth lying lippes: but they that deale truely please hym |
| [23]A fel man hilith kunnyng; and the herte of vnwise men stirith foli. |
[23]A discrete man doth hyde knowledge: but the heart of fooles blabbeth out foolishnesse |
| [24]The hond of stronge men schal haue lordschip; but the hond that is slow, schal serue to tributis. |
[24]A diligent hande shall beare rule: but the idle shalbe vnder tribute |
| [25]Morenynge in the herte of a iust man schal make hym meke; and he schal be maad glad bi a good word. |
[25]Heauinesse discourageth the heart of man: but a good worde maketh it glad agayne |
| [26]He that dispisith harm for a frend, is a iust man; but the weie of wickid men schal disseyue hem. |
[26]The ryghteous excelleth his neyghbour: but the way of the vngodly wyll deceaue them selues |
| [27]A gileful man schal not fynde wynnyng; and the substaunce of man schal be the prijs of gold. |
[27]The deciptfull man shall not coste that he toke in huntyng: but the riches of the iust man is of great value |
| [28]Lijf is in the path of riytfulnesse; but the wrong weie leedith to deeth. |
[28]In the way of ryghteousnesse there is life: & in the same way there is no death |
