잠언 3장 Coverdale Bible
- 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.
