📖 Proverbs 3
-
1
My sonne, forget not my lawe, but se yt thine hert kepe my comaundemetes.
-
2
For they shal prologe ye dayes & yeares of yi lyfe, & brynge ye peace.
-
3
Let mercy & faithfulnes neuer go from ye: bynde the about yi necke, & wryte them in the tables of thine herte.
-
4
So shalt thou fynde fauor and good vnderstondinge in ye sight of God and men.
-
5
Put thy trust in ye LORDE with all thine herte, and leane not vnto thine owne vnderstondinge.
-
6
In all thy wayes haue respecte vnto him, and he shal ordre thy goinges.
-
7
Be not wyse in thine owne conceate, but feare ye LORDE and departe from euell:
-
8
so shal thy nauel be whole, and thy bones stronge.
-
9
Honoure the LORDE wt yi substaunce, & wt ye firstlinges of all thine encrease:
-
10
so shal thy barnes be fylled with plenteousnesse, and thy presses shal flowe ouer with swete wyne.
-
11
My sonne, despyse not the chastenynge of ye LORDE, nether faynte when thou art rebuked of him.
-
12
For who the LORDE loueth, him he chasteneth: and yet delyteth in him euen as a father in his owne sonne.
-
13
Well is him that fyndeth wy?dome, & opteyneth vnderstondinge,
-
14
for the gettinge of it is better then eny marchaundise of syluer, & the profit of it is better then golde.
-
15
Wy?dome is more worth the precious stones, & all ye thinges yt thou canst desyre, are not to be compared vnto her.
-
16
Vpon hir right hande is longe life, & vpon hir left hande is riches & honor.
-
17
Hir wayes are pleasaunt wayes, and all hir pathes are peaceable.
-
18
She is a tre of life to them that laye holde vpon her, and blessed are they that kepe her fast.
-
19
With wy?dome hath ye LORDE layed the foudacion of ye earth, & thorow vnderstondinge hath he stablished ye heaues.
-
20
Thorow his wi?dome ye depthes breake vp, & ye cloudes droppe downe the dew.
-
21
My sonne, let not these thinges departe from thyne eyes, but kepe my lawe and my councell:
-
22
so shal it be life vnto thy soule, & grace vnto yi mouth.
-
23
Then shalt thou walke safely in yi waye, & thy fote shal not stomble.
-
24
Yf thou slepest, thou shalt not be afrayed, but shalt take thy rest & slepe swetely.
-
25
Thou neddest not to be afrayed of eny sodane feare, nether for the violent russhinge in of the vngodly, when it commeth.
-
26
For the LORDE shal be besyde the, & kepe thy fote yt thou be not taken.
-
27
Refuse not to do good vnto him that shulde haue it, so longe as thine hande is able to do it.
-
28
Saye not vnto thy neghboure: go thy waye & come agayne, tomorow wil I geue the:
-
29
where as thou hast now to geue him. Intende no hurte vnto thy neghboure, seynge he hopeth to dwell in rest by the.
-
30
Stryue not lightly wt eny man, where as he hath done ye no harme.
-
31
Folowe not a wicked man, and chose none of his wayes:
-
32
for the LORDE abhorreth the frowarde, but his secrete is amonge the righteous.
-
33
The curse of the LORDE is in the house of the vngodly, but he blesseth the dwellinges of the righteous.
-
34
As for the scornefull, he shal laugh the to scorne, but he shal geue grace vnto the lowly.
-
35
The wyse shal haue honor in possession, but shame is the promocio that fooles shal haue.
