- 1 Wysdome hath buylded herself an house, and hewen out seuen pilers:
- 2 she hath slaughted, poured out hir wyne, and prepared hir table.
- 3 She hath sent forth hir maydens to crie vpo the hyest place of the cite:
- 4 Who so is ignoraut, let him come hither. And to the vn wise she sayde:
- 5 O come on youre waye, eate my bred, and drynke my wyne, which I haue poured out for you.
- 6 Forsake ignorauce, and ye shal lyue: and se that ye go in the waye of vnderstondinge.
- 7 Who so reproueth a scornefull personne, getteth him self dishonoure: and he that rebuketh the vngodly, stayneth himself.
- 8 Reproue not a scorner, lest he owe the euell wil: but rebuke a wyse man, and he wil loue the.
- 9 Geue a discrete man but an occasion, & he wilbe the wyser: teach a rightuous man, and he wil increase.
- 10 The feare of the LORDE is the begynnynge of wysdome, & the knowlege of holy thinges is vnderstondinge.
- 11 For thorow me yi dayes shalbe prolonged, and the yeares of thy life shal be many.
- 12 Yf thou be wyse, yi wysdome shal do yi selfe good: but yf thou thynkest scorne therof, it shalbe thine owne harme.
- 13 A foolish restlesse woman, full of wordes, and soch one as hath no knowlege,
- 14 sytteth in the dores of hir house vpo a stole aboue in the cite,
- 15 to call soch as go by and walke straight in their wayes.
- 16 Who so is ignoraunt (sayeth she) let him come hither, and to the vnwyse she sayeth:
- 17 stollen waters are swete, & the bred that is preuely eaten, hath a good taist.
- 18 But they cosider not that death is there, and that hir gestes go downe to hell.
