| [1]Set thy heart upon thy goods; and say not, I have enough for my life. |
[1]Trust not vnto thy riches, & say not, tushe I haue inough for my lyfe, for it shall not helpe in the tyme of vengeaunce and temptation. |
| [2]Follow not thine own mind and thy strength, to walk in the ways of thy heart: |
[2]Folowe not the lust of thyne owne heart in thy strength, |
| [3]And say not, Who shall controul me for my works? for the Lord will surely revenge thy pride. |
[3]And say not, tushe howe haue I had strength? or who wyll bryng me vnder because of my workes? For doubtlesse God shall auenge it. |
| [4]Say not, I have sinned, and what harm hath happened unto me? for the Lord is longsuffering, he will in no wise let thee go. |
[4]And say not, I haue sinned, and what euyll hath happened me? For the almightie is a patient rewarder. |
| [5]Concerning propitiation, be not without fear to add sin unto sin: |
[5]Because thy sinne is forgeuen thee, be not therfore without feare, neither heape one sinne vpon another. |
| [6]And say not His mercy is great; he will be pacified for the multitude of my sins: for mercy and wrath come from him, and his indignation resteth upon sinners. |
[6]And say not, tushe, the mercie of the Lorde is great, he shall forgeue me my sinnes be they neuer so many: For lyke as he is mercifull, so goeth wrath from hym also, and his indignation commeth downe vpon sinners. |
| [7]Make no tarrying to turn to the Lord, and put not off from day to day: for suddenly shall the wrath of the Lord come forth, and in thy security thou shalt be destroyed, and perish in the day of vengeance. |
[7]Make no tarying to turne vnto the Lorde, and put not of from day to day: for sodenly shall his wrath come, and in the tyme of vengeaunce he shall destroy thee. |
| [8]Set not thine heart upon goods unjustly gotten, for they shall not profit thee in the day of calamity. |
[8]Trust not in wicked riches, for they shall not helpe thee in the day of punishment and wrath. |
| [9]Winnow not with every wind, and go not into every way: for so doth the sinner that hath a double tongue. |
[9]Be not caried about with euery winde, and go not into euery way: for so doth the sinner that hath a double tongue. |
| [10]Be stedfast in thy understanding; and let thy word be the same. |
[10]Stande fast in the way of the Lorde, be stedfast in thy vnderstandyng, abyde by the worde, and folowe the worde of peace and righteousnesse. |
| [11]Be swift to hear; and let thy life be sincere; and with patience give answer. |
[11]Be gentle to heare the worde of God, that thou mayest vnderstande it: and make a true aunswere with wisdome. |
| [12]If thou hast understanding, answer thy neighbour; if not, lay thy hand upon thy mouth. |
[12]Be swyft to heare, but slowe and pacient in geuing aunswere. |
| [13]Honour and shame is in talk: and the tongue of man is his fall. |
[13]If thou hast vnderstanding, shape thy neighbour an aunswere: yf no, laye thy hande vpon thy mouth, lest thou be trapped in an vndiscreete word, and so confounded. |
| [14]Be not called a whisperer, and lie not in wait with thy tongue: for a foul shame is upon the thief, and an evil condemnation upon the double tongue. |
[14]Honour and shame is in the talke, but the tongue of the vndiscrete is his owne destruction. |
| [15]Be not ignorant of any thing in a great matter or a small. |
[15]Be not a priuy accuser as long as thou lyuest, and vse no slaunder with thy tongue: For shame & sorowe goeth ouer the thiefe, and an euyll name ouer him that is double tongued: but he that is a priuy accuser of other men, shalbe hated, enuied, and confounded. |
| [16]Do not rashly neither in great nor small. |
