Pro 1:1 These are the prouerbes of Salomon the sonne of Dauid kynge of Israel:
Pro 1:2 to lerne wysdome nurtoure, vnderstondinge, prudence,
Pro 1:3 rightuousnesse, iudgment and equite.
Pro 1:4 That the very babes might haue wyt, and that yonge men might haue knowlege and vnderstondinge.
Pro 1:5 By hearinge, the wyse ma shal come by more wysdome: and by experience,
Pro 1:6 he shal be more apte to vnderstonde a parable, and the interpretacion therof: the wordes of the wyse, and the darcke speaches of the same.
Pro 1:7 The feare of the LORDE is the begynnynge of wysdome. But fooles despyse wysdome and nurtoure.
Pro 1:8 My sonne, heare thy fathers doctryne, and forsake not the lawe of yi mother:
Pro 1:9 for that shal brynge grace vnto thy heade, & shalbe a cheyne aboute thy necke.
Pro 1:10 My sonne, cosente not vnto synners,
Pro 1:11 yf they entyse the, and saye: come wyth us, let us laye wayte for bloude, & lurke preuely for the innocet wythout a cause:
Pro 1:12 let us swalowe the vp like ye hell, let us deuoure the quycke and whole, as those that go downe in to the pytt.
Pro 1:13 So shal we fynde all maner of costly riches, and fyll oure houses wyth spoyles.
Pro 1:14 Cast in thy lott amonge us, we shal haue all one purse.
Pro 1:15 My sonne, walke not thou wt them, refrayne yi fote fro their wayes.
Pro 1:16 For their fete rune to euell, & are haistie to shed bloude.
Pro 1:17 But in vayne is ye net layed forth before the byrdes eyes.
Pro 1:18 Yee they the selues laye wayte one for anothers bloude, and one of the wolde slaye another.
Pro 1:19 These are the wayes of all soch as be couetous, that one wolde rauysh anothers life.
Pro 1:20 Wysdome crieth without, & putteth forth hir voyce in the stretes.
Pro 1:21 She calleth before ye congregacion in ye open gates, and sheweth hir wordes thorow ye cite, sayenge:
Pro 1:22 O ye childre, how loge wil ye loue childyshnesse? how longe wil ye scorners delyte in scornynge, & ye vnwyse be enemies vnto knowlege?
Pro 1:23 O turne you vnto my correccion: lo, I wil expresse my mynde vnto you, and make you vnderstode my wordes.
Pro 1:24 Seinge then that I haue called, and ye refused it: I haue stretched out my honde, and no ma regarded it,
Pro 1:25 but all my coucels haue ye despysed, and set my correccios at naught.
Pro 1:26 Therfore shal I also laugh in yor destruccion, and mocke you, when ye thinge that ye feare cometh vpon you:
Pro 1:27 euen whe ye thinge that ye be afrayed of, falleth in sodenly like a storme, and yor misery like a tempest: yee wha trouble and heuynesse cometh vpon you.
Pro 1:28 Then shal they call vpo me, but I wil not heare: they shal seke me early, but they shal not fynde me:
Pro 1:29 And yt because they hated knowlege, and receaued not ye feare of ye LORDE,
Pro 1:30 but abhorred my councell, and despysed my correccion.
Pro 1:31 Therfore shal they eate ye frutes of their owne waye, and be fylled wt their owne councels:
Pro 1:32 for ye turnynge awaye of ye vnwyse shal slaye the, & ye prosperi of fooles shalbe their owne destruccio.
Pro 1:33 But who so harkeneth vnto me, shal dwell safely, and haue ynough without eny feare of euell.
Pro 2:1 My sonne, yf thou wilt receaue my wordes, and kepe my comaundemetes by the,
Pro 2:2 that thine eare maye herken vnto wysdome, applie thine herte then to vnderstodinge.
Pro 2:3 For yf thou criest after wysdome, & callest for knowlege:
Pro 2:4 yf thou sekest after her as after money, and dyggest for her as for treasure:
Pro 2:5 The shalt thou vnderstonde ye feare of the LORDE, and fynde ye knowlege of God.
Pro 2:6 For it is the LORDE that geueth wysdome, out of his mouth commeth knowlege and vnderstondinge.
Pro 2:7 He preserueth ye welfare of the rightuous, and defendeth them yt walke innocently:
Pro 2:8 he kepeth them in ye right path, and preserueth ye waye of his sayntes.
Pro 2:9 Then shalt thou vnderstonde rightuousnesse, iudgment and equite, yee and euery good path.
Pro 2:10 Yf wysdome entre in to thine herte, and yi soule delyte in knowlege:
Pro 2:11 then shal councell preserue the, and vnderstondinge shal kepe the.
Pro 2:12 That thou mayest be delyuered fro ye euell waye, and from the man yt speaketh frowarde thinges.
Pro 2:13 From soch as leaue the hye strete, and walke i ye wayes of darcknesse:
Pro 2:14 which reioyse in doynge euell, and delyte i wicked thinges:
Pro 2:15 whose wayes are croked, and their pathes slaunderous.
Pro 2:16 That thou mayest be delyuered also from the straunge woman, and from her that is not thine owne: which geueth swete wordes,
Pro 2:17 forsaketh the husbande of hir youth, and forgetteth the couenaunt of hir God.
Pro 2:18 For hir house is enclyned vnto death, and hir pathes vnto hell.
Pro 2:19 All they that go in vnto her, come not agayne, nether take they holde of the waye of life.
Pro 2:20 That thou mayest walke in ye good waye, and kepe the pathes of the rightuous.
Pro 2:21 For the iust shal dwell in the londe, and the innocentes shal remayne in it:
Pro 2:22 but the vngodly shalbe roted out of ye londe, and the wicked doers shalbe taken out of it.
Pro 3:1 My sonne, forget not my lawe, but se yt thine hert kepe my comaundemetes.
Pro 3:2 For they shal prologe ye dayes & yeares of yi lyfe, & brynge ye peace.
Pro 3:3 Let mercy & faithfulnes neuer go from ye: bynde the about yi necke, & wryte them in the tables of thine herte.
Pro 3:4 So shalt thou fynde fauor and good vnderstondinge in ye sight of God and men.
Pro 3:5 Put thy trust in ye LORDE with all thine herte, and leane not vnto thine owne vnderstondinge.
Pro 3:6 In all thy wayes haue respecte vnto him, and he shal ordre thy goinges.
Pro 3:7 Be not wyse in thine owne conceate, but feare ye LORDE and departe from euell:
Pro 3:8 so shal thy nauel be whole, and thy bones stronge.
Pro 3:9 Honoure the LORDE wt yi substaunce, & wt ye firstlinges of all thine encrease:
Pro 3:10 so shal thy barnes be fylled with plenteousnesse, and thy presses shal flowe ouer with swete wyne.
Pro 3:11 My sonne, despyse not the chastenynge of ye LORDE, nether faynte when thou art rebuked of him.
Pro 3:12 For who the LORDE loueth, him he chasteneth: and yet delyteth in him euen as a father in his owne sonne.
Pro 3:13 Well is him that fyndeth wysdome, & opteyneth vnderstondinge,
Pro 3:14 for the gettinge of it is better then eny marchaundise of syluer, & the profit of it is better then golde.
Pro 3:15 Wysdome is more worth the precious stones, & all ye thinges yt thou canst desyre, are not to be compared vnto her.
Pro 3:16 Vpon hir right hande is longe life, & vpon hir left hande is riches & honor.
Pro 3:17 Hir wayes are pleasaunt wayes, and all hir pathes are peaceable.
Pro 3:18 She is a tre of life to them that laye holde vpon her, and blessed are they that kepe her fast.
Pro 3:19 With wysdome hath ye LORDE layed the foudacion of ye earth, & thorow vnderstondinge hath he stablished ye heaues.
Pro 3:20 Thorow his wisdome ye depthes breake vp, & ye cloudes droppe downe the dew.
Pro 3:21 My sonne, let not these thinges departe from thyne eyes, but kepe my lawe and my councell:
Pro 3:22 so shal it be life vnto thy soule, & grace vnto yi mouth.
Pro 3:23 Then shalt thou walke safely in yi waye, & thy fote shal not stomble.
Pro 3:24 Yf thou slepest, thou shalt not be afrayed, but shalt take thy rest & slepe swetely.
Pro 3:25 Thou neddest not to be afrayed of eny sodane feare, nether for the violent russhinge in of the vngodly, when it commeth.
Pro 3:26 For the LORDE shal be besyde the, & kepe thy fote yt thou be not taken.
Pro 3:27 Refuse not to do good vnto him that shulde haue it, so longe as thine hande is able to do it.
Pro 3:28 Saye not vnto thy neghboure: go thy waye & come agayne, tomorow wil I geue the:
Pro 3:29 where as thou hast now to geue him. Intende no hurte vnto thy neghboure, seynge he hopeth to dwell in rest by the.
Pro 3:30 Stryue not lightly wt eny man, where as he hath done ye no harme.
Pro 3:31 Folowe not a wicked man, and chose none of his wayes:
Pro 3:32 for the LORDE abhorreth the frowarde, but his secrete is amonge the righteous.
Pro 3:33 The curse of the LORDE is in the house of the vngodly, but he blesseth the dwellinges of the righteous.
Pro 3:34 As for the scornefull, he shal laugh the to scorne, but he shal geue grace vnto the lowly.
Pro 3:35 The wyse shal haue honor in possession, but shame is the promocio that fooles shal haue.
Pro 4:1 Heare (O ye children) the fatherly exortacio, & take good hede, that ye maye lerne wysdome.
Pro 4:2 Yee I shal geue you a good rewarde, yf ye wil not forsake my lawe.
Pro 4:3 For when I myself was my fathers deare sonne, and tenderly beloued of my mother,
Pro 4:4 he taught me also, sayenge: let thine herte receaue my wordes, kepe my commaundementes, and thou shalt lyue.
Pro 4:5 Get the wysdome, get the vnderstondinge, forget not ye wordes of my mouth, & shreke not from them.
Pro 4:6 Forsake her not, and she shal preserue the: loue her, and she shal kepe the.
Pro 4:7 The chefe poynte of wysdome is, that thou be wyllynge to opteyne wysdome, and before all thy goodes to get the vnderstondynge.
Pro 4:8 Make moch of her, and she shal promote the: Yee yf thou embracest her, she shal brynge the vnto honoure.
Pro 4:9 She shal make the a gracious heade, and garnish the with ye crowne of glory.
Pro 4:10 Heare my sonne, and receaue my wordes, that the yeares of thy life maye be many.
Pro 4:11 I wil shewe the ye waye of wysdome, and lede the in the right pathes.
Pro 4:12 So that yf thou goest therin, there shal no straytnesse hynder the: and when thou runnest, thou shalt not fall.
Pro 4:13 Take fast holde of doctryne, let her not go: kepe her, for she is thy life.
Pro 4:14 Come not in the path of the vngodly, and walke not in the waye of the wicked.
Pro 4:15 Eschue it, & go not therin: departe asyde, & passe ouer by it.
Pro 4:16 For they can not slepe, excepte they haue first done some myschefe: nether take they eny rest, excepte they haue first done some harme.
Pro 4:17 For they eate the bred of wickednesse, and drike the wyne of robbery.
Pro 4:18 The path of the rightuous shyneth as the light, and is euer brighter & brighter vnto the parfecte daye.
Pro 4:19 But ye waye of the vngodly is as the darcknesse, wherin me fall, or they be awarre.
Pro 4:20 My sonne, marcke my wordes, and enclyne thine eare vnto my saynges.
Pro 4:21 Let them not departe from thine eyes, kepe them euen in the myddest of thine herte.
Pro 4:22 For they are life vnto all those that finde the, and health vnto all their bodies.
Pro 4:23 Kepe thine hert with all diligence, for there vpon hangeth life.
Pro 4:24 Put awaye from the a frowarde mouth, and let the lippes of slaunder be farre from the.
Pro 4:25 Let thine eyes beholde the thinge yt is right, & let thine eye lyddes loke straight before the.
Pro 4:26 Podre the path of thy fete, so shal all yi wayes be sure.
Pro 4:27 Turne not asyde, nether to the right hande ner to the lefte, but witholde thy fote from euell.
Pro 5:1 My sonne, geue hede vnto my wysdome, & bowe thine eare vnto my prudece:
Pro 5:2 yt thou mayest regarde good councell, and that thy lippes maye kepe nurtoure.
Pro 5:3 For the lippes of an harlot are a droppinge hony combe, and hir throte is softer then oyle.
Pro 5:4 But at ye last she is as bitter as wormwod, and as sharpe as a two edged swerde.
Pro 5:5 Hir fete go downe vnto death, and hir steppes pearse thorow vnto hell.
Pro 5:6 She regardeth not the path of life, so vnstedfast are hir wayes, that thou canst not knowe them.
Pro 5:7 Heare me therfore (o my sonne) and departe not fro the wordes of my mouth.
Pro 5:8 Kepe thy waye farre from her, and come not nye ye dores of hir house.
Pro 5:9 That thou geue not thine honor vnto another, and thy yeares to the cruell.
Pro 5:10 That other men be not fylled with thy goodes, & that thy labours come not in a straunge house.
Pro 5:11 Yee that thou mourne not at the last (when thou hast spent thy body and goodes)
Pro 5:12 and then saye: Alas, why hated I nurtoure? why dyd my hert despyse correccion?
Pro 5:13 Wherfore was not I obedient vnto the voyce of my teachers, & herkened not vnto them that infourmed me?
Pro 5:14 I am come almost in to all mysfortune, in the myddest of the multitude and congregacion.
Pro 5:15 Drinke of the water of thine owne well, and of the ryuers that runne out of thine owne spriges.
Pro 5:16 Let yi welles flowe out a brode, that there maye be ryuers of water in the stretes.
Pro 5:17 But let them be only thine owne, & not straungers with the.
Pro 5:18 Let thy well be blessed, and be glad with the wife of thy youth.
Pro 5:19 Louynge is the hynde, and frendly is the Roo: let her brestes alwaye satisfie the, and holde the euer content with hir loue.
Pro 5:20 My sonne, why wilt thou haue pleasure in an harlot, and embrace the bosome of another woma?
Pro 5:21 For euery mas wayes are open in the sight of the LORDE, and he podereth all their goinges.
Pro 5:22 The wickednesses of the vngodly shal catch himself, and with the snares of his owne synnes shal he be trapped.
Pro 5:23 Because he wolde not be refourmed, he shal dye: and for his greate foolishnesse he shal be destroyed.
Pro 6:1 My sone, yf thou be suertie for yi neghboure, thou hast fastened thine hode wt another ma:
Pro 6:2 yee thou art boude with thine owne wordes, and taken wt thine owne speach.
Pro 6:3 Therfore (my sonne) do this, discharge thy self, for thou art come i to yi neghbours daunger. Go thy waye then soone, & intreate thy neghboure:
Pro 6:4 let not thyne eyes slepe, ner thine eye lyddes slomber.
Pro 6:5 Saue thy self as a doo fro ye honde, & as a byrde fro the hode of the fouler.
Pro 6:6 Go to the Emmet (thou slogarde) cosidre hir wayes, & lerne to be wyse.
Pro 6:7 She hath no gyde, no teacher, no leder:
Pro 6:8 yet in the sommer she prouideth hir meate, & gathereth hir foode together i ye haruest.
Pro 6:9 How loge wilt thou slepe, thou slogish ma? Wha wilt thou aryse out of thy slepe?
Pro 6:10 Yee slepe on still a litle, slober a litle, folde thine handes together yet a litle, that thou mayest slepe:
Pro 6:11 so shal pouerte come vnto the as one yt trauayleth by the waye, & necessite like a wapened man.
Pro 6:12 A dissemblynge person, a wicked man goeth with a frowarde mouth:
Pro 6:13 he wyncketh with his eyes, he tokeneth wt his fete, he poynteth wt his fyngers,
Pro 6:14 he is euer ymageninge myschefe & frowardnesse in his hert, & causeth discorde.
Pro 6:15 Therfore shal his destruccion come hastely vpo him, sodenly shal he be all tobroken, and not be healed.
Pro 6:16 There be sixe thinges, which the LORDE hateth, & the seuenth he vtterly abhorreth:
Pro 6:17 A proude loke, a dyssemblynge tonge, hades that shed innocent bloude,
Pro 6:18 an herte yt goeth aboute wt wicked ymaginacios, fete that be swift in rennynge to do myschefe,
Pro 6:19 a false wytnesse yt bringeth vp lyes, & soch one as soweth discorde amonge brethren.
Pro 6:20 My sonne, kepe thy fathers comaundemetes, & forsake not ye lawe of thy mother.
Pro 6:21 Put the vp together in thine herte, and bynde the aboute thy necke.
Pro 6:22 That they maye lede the where thou goest, preserue the when thou art aslepe, & yt when thou awakest, thou mayest talke of the
Pro 6:23 (For the commaundement is a lanterne, and the lawe a light: yee chastenynge & nurtoure is ye waye of life)
Pro 6:24 that they maye kepe the fro the euell woman, & from the flaterynge tonge of the harlott:
Pro 6:25 yt thou lust not after her beuty in thine herte, & lest thou be take wt hir fayre lokes.
Pro 6:26 An harlot wil make a ma to begg his bred, but a maried woman wil hunt for ye precious life.
Pro 6:27 Maye a man take fyre in his bosome, and his clothes not be brent?
Pro 6:28 Or can one go vpon hote coales, and his fete not be hurte?
Pro 6:29 Euen so, who so euer goeth in to his neghbours wife, and toucheth her, can not be vngiltie.
Pro 6:30 Men do not vtterly despyse a thefe, that stealeth to satisfie his soule, when he is hongerie:
Pro 6:31 but yf he maye be gotten, he restoreth agayne seuen tymes asmoch, or els he maketh recompence with all the good of his house.
Pro 6:32 But who so comitteth aduoutrie with a woma, he is a foole, and bryngeth his life to destruccion.
Pro 6:33 He getteth him self also shame & dishonor, soch as shal neuer be put out.
Pro 6:34 For the gelousy & wrath of the ma will not be itreated,
Pro 6:35 no though thou woldest ofre him greate giftes to make amendes, he will not receaue them.
Pro 7:1 My sonne, kepe my wordes, & laye vp my comaundemetes by the.
Pro 7:2 Kepe my comaundemetes & my lawe, eue as the aple of thine eye, & thou shalt lyue.
Pro 7:3 Bynde them vpon thy fyngers, & wryte the in the table of thine hert.
Pro 7:4 Saye vnto wysdome: thou art my sister, and call vnderstondinge thy kynswoman:
Pro 7:5 that she maye kepe ye fro ye strauge woma, & fro ye harlot which geueth swete wordes.
Pro 7:6 For out of the wyndowe of my house I loked thorow the trelies,
Pro 7:7 & behelde the simple people: & amonge other yonge folkes I spyed one yonge foole
Pro 7:8 goinge ouer the stretes, by the corner in the waye towarde the harlottes house
Pro 7:9 in the twylight of of the euenynge, when it begane now to be night and darcke.
Pro 7:10 And beholde, there mett him a woma in an harlottes apparell
Pro 7:11 (a disceatfull, waton & an vnstedfast woma: whose fete coude not abyde in ye house,
Pro 7:12 now is she without, now i ye stretes, & lurketh i euery corner)
Pro 7:13 she caught ye yoge ma, kyssed him & was not ashamed, sayege:
Pro 7:14 I had a vowe to paye, & this daye I perfourme it.
Pro 7:15 Therfore came I forth to mete the, that I might seke thy face, and so I haue founde the.
Pro 7:16 I haue deckte my bed with coueringes & clothes of Egipte.
Pro 7:17 My bed haue I made to smell of Myrre, Aloes and Cynamom.
Pro 7:18 Come, let vs lye together, & take oure pleasure till it be daye light.
Pro 7:19 For the good man is not at home, he is gone farre of.
Pro 7:20 He hath taken the bagg of moneye with him, who can tell whe he cometh home?
Pro 7:21 Thus with many swete wordes she ouercame him, and with hir flateringe lippes she wanne him.
Pro 7:22 Immediatly he foloweth her, as it were an oxeled to the slaughter (and like as it were to the stockes, where fooles are punyshed)
Pro 7:23 so longe till she hath wounded his lyuer with hir darte: like as yf a byrde haisted to the snare, not knowinge that the parell of his life lyeth there vpo.
Pro 7:24 Heare me now therfore (o my sonne) and marcke the wordes of my mouth.
Pro 7:25 Let not thine herte wandre in hir wayes, & be not thou disceaued in hir pathes.
Pro 7:26 For many one hath she wouded and cast downe, yee many a stronge ma hath she slayne.
Pro 7:27 Hir house is the waye vnto hell, where men go downe to the chambers of death.
Pro 8:1 Doth not wysdome crie? doth not vnderstondinge put forth hir voyce?
Pro 8:2 Stondeth she not in the hye places in the stretes & wayes?
Pro 8:3 doth she not crie before the whole cite, & in the gates where men go out & in?
Pro 8:4 It is you, o ye men (sayeth she) whom I call. Unto you (o ye childre of me) lift I vp my voyce.
Pro 8:5 Take hede vnto knowlege o ye ignoraut, be wyse in herte o ye fooles.
Pro 8:6 Geue eare, for I wil speake of greate matters, & open my lippes to tell thinges that be right.
Pro 8:7 For my throte shal be talkynge of ye trueth, & my lippes abhorre vngodlynesse.
Pro 8:8 All the wordes of my mouth are rightuous, there is no frowardnesse ner falsede therin.
Pro 8:9 They are all playne to soch as wil vnderstode, & right to the that fynde knowlege.
Pro 8:10 Receaue my doctryne therfore and not syluer, & knowlege more then fyne golde.
Pro 8:11 For wysdome is more worth then precious stones, yee all the thinges that thou cast desyre, are not to be compared vnto it.
Pro 8:12 I wysdome haue my dwellynge wt knowlege, and prudent councell is myne owne.
Pro 8:13 With me is the feare of the LORDE, and ye eschuynge of euell. As for pryde, disdayne, an euell waye, & a mouth that speaketh wicked thiges, I vtterly abhorre the.
Pro 8:14 I can geue councell, and be a gyde: I haue vnderstondinge, I haue strength.
Pro 8:15 Thorow me, kynges reigne: thorow me, prices make iust lawes.
Pro 8:16 Thorow me, lordes beare rule, and all iudges of ye earth execute iudgmet.
Pro 8:17 I am louynge vnto those that loue me, and they that seke me early, shal fynde me.
Pro 8:18 Riches & honoure are wt me, yee excellent goodes & rightuousnes.
Pro 8:19 My frute is better the golde & precious stone, & myne encrease more worth then fyne syluer.
Pro 8:20 I walke in ye waye of rightuousnes, & in the strete of iudgment.
Pro 8:21 That I maye sende prosperite to those that loue me, & to encrease their treasure.
Pro 8:22 The LORDE himself had me in possessio in the begynnynge of his wayes, or euer he begame his workes aforetyme.
Pro 8:23 I haue bene ordened fro euerlastige, & fro ye beginnynge or euer the earth was made.
Pro 8:24 When I was borne, there were nether depthes ner springes of water.
Pro 8:25 Before the foundacions of ye mountaynes were layed, yee before all hilles was I borne.
Pro 8:26 The earth and all that is vpon the earth was not yet made, no not the grounde it self.
Pro 8:27 For when he made the heauens, I was present: wha he set the depthes in ordre:
Pro 8:28 whan he hanged the cloudes aboue: whan he fastened the sprynges of the depe:
Pro 8:29 Whan he shutt the see within certayne bowndes, that ye waters shulde not go ouer their marckes. When he layed the foundacions of the earth,
Pro 8:30 I was with him, ordringe all thinges, delytinge daylie & reioysynge allwaye before him.
Pro 8:31 As for the roude copase of his worlde, I make it ioyfull, for my delyte is to be amoge the children of men.
Pro 8:32 Therfore harken vnto me (o ye children) for blessed are they that kepe my wayes.
Pro 8:33 O geue eare vnto nurtoure, be wyse, and refuse it not.
Pro 8:34 Blessed is ye man that heareth me, watchinge daylie at my gates, & geuynge attendaunce at the postes of my dores.
Pro 8:35 For who so fyndeth me, fyndeth life, and shal optayne fauoure of the LORDE.
Pro 8:36 But who so offendeth agaynst me, hurteth his owne soule. All they that hate me, are the louers of death.
Pro 9:1 Wysdome hath buylded herself an house, and hewen out seuen pilers:
Pro 9:2 she hath slaughted, poured out hir wyne, and prepared hir table.
Pro 9:3 She hath sent forth hir maydens to crie vpo the hyest place of the cite:
Pro 9:4 Who so is ignoraut, let him come hither. And to the vn wise she sayde:
Pro 9:5 O come on youre waye, eate my bred, and drynke my wyne, which I haue poured out for you.
Pro 9:6 Forsake ignorauce, and ye shal lyue: and se that ye go in the waye of vnderstondinge.
Pro 9:7 Who so reproueth a scornefull personne, getteth him self dishonoure: and he that rebuketh the vngodly, stayneth himself.
Pro 9:8 Reproue not a scorner, lest he owe the euell wil: but rebuke a wyse man, and he wil loue the.
Pro 9:9 Geue a discrete man but an occasion, & he wilbe the wyser: teach a rightuous man, and he wil increase.
Pro 9:10 The feare of the LORDE is the begynnynge of wysdome, & the knowlege of holy thinges is vnderstondinge.
Pro 9:11 For thorow me yi dayes shalbe prolonged, and the yeares of thy life shal be many.
Pro 9:12 Yf thou be wyse, yi wysdome shal do yi selfe good: but yf thou thynkest scorne therof, it shalbe thine owne harme.
Pro 9:13 A foolish restlesse woman, full of wordes, and soch one as hath no knowlege,
Pro 9:14 sytteth in the dores of hir house vpo a stole aboue in the cite,
Pro 9:15 to call soch as go by and walke straight in their wayes.
Pro 9:16 Who so is ignoraunt (sayeth she) let him come hither, and to the vnwyse she sayeth:

Pro 29:18 Where no prophet is, there the people perishe: but well is him that kepeth the lawe.
Pro 29:19 A seruaut wil not be the better for wordes, for though he vnderstonde, yet wil he not regarde them.
Pro 29:20 Yf thou seyst a man that is haistie to speake vnaduysed, thou mayest trust a foole more then him.
Pro 29:21 He that delicately bryngeth vp his seruaunt from a childe, shal make him his master at length.
Pro 29:22 An angrie man stereth vp strife, and he that beareth euell wyll in his mynde, doth moch euell.

Pro 29:24 Who so kepeth company wt a thefe, hateth his owne soule: he heareth blasphemies, & telleth it not forth.
Pro 29:25 He that feareth men, shal haue a fall: but who so putteth his trust in the LORDE, shal come to honor.

Pro 30:1 The wordes of Agur the sonne of Iake. The prophecie of a true faithfull man, who God hath helped, whom God hath coforted & norished.
Pro 30:2 For though I am ye leest of all, & haue no mas vnderstodige
Pro 30:3 (for I neuerlerned wisdome) yet haue I vnderstodinge & am wel enfourmed in godly thinges.
Pro 30:4 Who hath clymmed vp i to heauen? Who hath come downe from thence? Who hath holden ye wynde fast in his hade? Who hath coprehended ye waters in a garment? Who hath set all the endes of ye worlde? What is his name, or his sonnes name? Canst thou tell?
Pro 30:5 All the wordes of God are pure & cleane, for he is a shylde vnto all them, that put their trust in him.
Pro 30:6 Put thou nothinge therfore vnto his wordes, lest he reproue the, and thou be founde as a lyar.
Pro 30:7 Two thinges I requyre of the, that thou wilt not denye me before I dye.
Pro 30:8 Remoue fro me vanite and lyes: geue me nether pouerte ner riches, only graunte me a necessary lyuynge.
Pro 30:9 Lest yf I be to full, I denye ye, & saye: what felowe is ye LORDE? And lest I beinge constrayned thorow pouerte, fall vnto stealinge, and forsweare the name of my God.
Pro 30:10 Accuse not a seruaunt vnto his master, lest he speake euell of the also, and thou be hurte.
Pro 30:11 He that bryngeth vp an euell reporte vpo the generacion of his father and mother, is not worthy to be commended.

Pro 30:16 There be thre thinges that are neuer satisfied, and the fourth saieth neuer hoo. The hell, a womans wombe, and the earth hath neuer water ynough. As for fyre, it sayeth neuer: hoo.
Pro 30:17 Who so laugheth his father to scorne, and setteth his mothers commaudement at naught: the rauens pycke out his eyes in the valley, and deuoured be he of the yongle Aegles.
Pro 30:18 There be thre thinges to hye for me, and as for the fourth, it passeth my knowlege.
Pro 30:19 The waye of an Aegle in ye ayre, ye waye of a serpent ouer ye stone, ye waye of a shippe in ye see, & ye waye of a ma wt a yonge woma.
Pro 30:20 Soch is the waye also of a wyfe yt breaketh wedlocke, which wypeth hir mouth like as wha she hath eate, & sayeth: As for me, I haue done no harme.
Pro 30:21 Thorow thre thinges the earth is disquieted, & the fourth maye it not beare:
Pro 30:22 Thorow a seruaut yt beareth rule, thorow a foole yt hath greate riches,
Pro 30:23 thorow an ydle houswife, & thorow an handmayden yt is heyre to hir mastres.
Pro 30:24 There be foure thinges in the earth, the which are very litle: but in wysdome they exceade the wyse.
Pro 30:25 The Emmettes are but a weake people, yet gather they their meate together in ye haruest.
Pro 30:26 The conyes are but a feble folke, yet make they their couches amonge the rockes.
Pro 30:27 The greshoppers haue not a gyde, yet go they forth together by heapes.
Pro 30:28 The spyder laboureth wt hir hades, & yt in ye kynges palace.
Pro 30:29 There be thre thinges yt go stiffly, but the goinge of the fourth is the goodliest of all.

Pro 30:31 A cock ready to fight: A rame: And a kynge yt goeth forth wt his people.
Pro 30:32 Yf thou be so foolish to magnifie yi self, or medlest wt eny soch thinge, the laye thine hade vpon yi mouth.
Pro 30:33 Who so chyrneth mylck, maketh butter: he that rubbeth his nose, maketh it blede, and he that causeth wrath, bryngeth forth strife.
Pro 31:1 These are the wordes of Kynge Lamuel, & ye lesson yt his mother taught him.
Pro 31:2 My sonne, thou sonne of my body: O my deare beloued sonne,
Pro 31:3 geue not ouer thy substaunce & mynde vnto women, which are the destruccio eue of kynges.
Pro 31:4 O Lamuel, geue kinges no wyne, geue kynges & prynces no stronge drynke:
Pro 31:5 lest they beinge dronken forget the lawe, & regarde not ye cause of the poore, & of all soch as be in aduersite.
Pro 31:6 Geue stronge drynke vnto soch as are condempned to death, & wyne vnto those yt mourne:
Pro 31:7 that they maye drynke it, & forget their misery & aduersite.
Pro 31:8 Be thou an aduocate & stonde in iudgment thyself, to speake for all soch as be dome & sucourles.
Pro 31:9 With yi mouth defende ye thinge yt is laufull and right, and ye cause of ye poore and helplesse.
Pro 31:10 Who so fyndeth an honest faithful woma, she is moch more worth the perles.
Pro 31:11 The herte of hir husbande maye safely trust in her, so that he shal haue no nede of spoyles.
Pro 31:12 She wil do him good & not euel all ye dayes of hir life.
Pro 31:13 She occupieth woll & flax, & laboureth gladly wt hir handes.
Pro 31:14 She is like a marchauntes shippe, that bryngeth hir vytayles from farre.
Pro 31:15 She is vp in ye night season, to prouyde meate for hir housholde, & foode for hir maydens.
Pro 31:16 She considreth lode, & byeth it, and wt the frute of hir handes she planteth a vynyarde.
Pro 31:17 She gyrdeth hir loynes with strength, and courageth hir armes.
Pro 31:18 And yf she perceaue that hir houswifrie doth good, hir candle goeth not out by night.
Pro 31:19 She layeth hir fyngers to the spyndle, & hir hande taketh holde of ye rocke.
Pro 31:20 She openeth hir hande to ye poore, yee she stretcheth forth hir hades to soch as haue nede.
Pro 31:21 She feareth not yt the colde of wynter shal hurte hir house, for all hir housholde folkes are duble clothed.
Pro 31:22 She maketh hir self fayre ornametes, hir clothige is whyte sylke & purple.
Pro 31:23 Hir husbade is moch set by in ye gates, whe he sytteth amonge ye rulers of ye londe.
Pro 31:24 She maketh cloth of sylke & selleth it, and delyuereth a gyrdle vnto ye marchaut.
Pro 31:25 Stregth and honoure is hir clothinge, & in the latter daye she shal reioyse.
Pro 31:26 She openeth hir mouth with wysdome, & in hir toge is the lawe of grace.
Pro 31:27 She loketh wel to the wayes of hir housholde, & eateth not hir bred with ydilnes.
Pro 31:28 Hir children arise & call hir blessed, & hir husbande maketh moch of her.
Pro 31:29 Many daughters there be yt gather riches together, but thou goest aboue the all.
Pro 31:30 As for fauor, it is disceatfull, and beutie is a vayne thinge: but a woman that feareth the LORDE, she is worthy to be praysed.
Pro 31:31 Geue her of the frute of hir handes, and let hir owne workes prayse her in the gates.
