WYC PRO Chapter 14

14 A wijs womman bildith hir hous; and an unwijs womman schal distrie with hondis an hous bildid. 2 A man goynge in riytful weie, and dredinge God, is dispisid of hym, that goith in a weie of yuel fame. 3 The yerde of pride is in the mouth of a fool; the lippis of wijs men kepen hem. 4 Where oxis ben not, the cratche is void; but where ful many cornes apperen, there the strengthe of oxe is opyn. 5 A feithful witnesse schal not lie; a gileful witnesse bringith forth a leesing. 6 A scornere sekith wisdom, and he fyndith not; the teching of prudent men is esy. 7 Go thou ayens a man a fool; and he schal not knowe the lippis of prudence. 8 The wisdom of a fel man is to vndirstonde his weie; and the vnwarnesse of foolis errith. 9 A fool scorneth synne; grace schal dwelle among iust men. 10 The herte that knowith the bittirnesse of his soule; a straunger schal not be meddlid in the ioie therof. 11 The hous of wickid men schal be don awei; the tabernaclis of iust men schulen buriowne. 12 Sotheli a weie is, that semeth iust to a man; but the laste thingis therof leden forth to deth. 13 Leiyyng schal be medlid with sorewe; and morenyng ocupieth the laste thingis of ioye. 14 A fool schal be fillid with hise weies; and a good man schal be aboue hym. 15 An innocent man bileueth to eche word; a felle man biholdith hise goyngis. 16 A wijs man dredith, and bowith awei fro yuel; a fool skippith ouer, and tristith. 17 A man vnpacient schal worche foli; and a gileful man is odiouse. 18 Litle men of wit schulen holde foli; and felle men schulen abide kunnyng. 19 Yuel men schulen ligge bifor goode men; and vnpitouse men bifor the yatis of iust men. 20 A pore man schal be hateful, yhe, to his neiybore; but many men ben frendis of riche men. 21 He that dispisith his neiybore, doith synne; but he that doith merci to a pore man, schal be blessid. He that bileueth in the Lord, loueth merci; 22 thei erren that worchen yuel. Merci and treuthe maken redi goodis; 23 abundaunce `schal be in ech good werk. Sotheli where ful many wordis ben, there nedynesse is ofte. 24 The coroun of wise men is the richessis of hem; the fooli of foolis is vnwarnesse. 25 A feithful witnesse delyuereth soulis; and a fals man bringith forth leesyngis. 26 In the drede of the Lord is triste of strengthe; and hope schal be to the sones of it. 27 The drede of the Lord is a welle of lijf; that it bowe awei fro the fallyng of deth. 28 The dignite of the king is in the multitude of puple; and the schenschipe of a prince is in the fewnesse of puple. 29 He that is pacient, is gouerned bi myche wisdom; but he that is vnpacient, enhaunsith his foli. 30 Helthe of herte is the lijf of fleischis; enuye is rot of boonys. 31 He that falsli chalengith a nedi man, dispisith his maker; but he that hath merci on a pore man, onourith that makere. 32 A wickid man is put out for his malice; but a iust man hopith in his deth. 33 Wisdom restith in the herte of a wijs man; and he schal teche alle vnlerned men. 34 Riytfulnesse reisith a folc; synne makith puplis wretchis. 35 A mynystre vndurstondynge is acceptable to a kyng; a mynystre vnprofitable schal suffre the wrathfulnesse of him.
