Wyc PRO Chapter 10

10 The parablis of Salomon. A wijs sone makith glad the fadir; but a fonned sone is the sorewe of his modir. 2 Tresouris of wickidnesse schulen not profite; but riytfulnesse schal delyuere fro deth. 3 The Lord schal not turmente the soule of a iust man with hungur; and he schal distrie the tresouns of vnpitouse men. 4 A slow hond hath wrouyt nedynesse; but the hond of stronge men makith redi richessis. Forsothe he that enforsith to gete `ony thing bi leesyngis, fedith the wyndis; sotheli the same man sueth briddis fleynge. 5 He that gaderith togidere in heruest, is a wijs sone; but he that slepith in sommer, is a sone of confusioun. 6 The blessing of God is ouer the heed of a iust man; but wickidnesse hilith the mouth of wickid men. 7 The mynde of a iust man schal be with preisingis; and the name of wickid men schal wexe rotun. 8 A wijs man schal resseyue comaundementis with herte; a fool is betun with lippis. 9 He that goith simpli, goith tristili; but he that makith schrewid hise weies, schal be opyn. 10 He that bekeneth with the iye, schal yyue sorewe; a fool schal be betun with lippis. 11 The veyne of lijf is the mouth of a iust man; but the mouth of wickid men hilith wickidnesse. 12 Hatrede reisith chidingis; and charite hilith alle synnes. 13 Wisdom is foundun in the lippis of a wise man; and a yerd in the bak of him that is nedi of herte. 14 Wise men hiden kunnyng; but the mouth of a fool is nexte to confusioun. 15 The catel of a riche man is the citee of his strengthe; the drede of pore men is the nedynesse of hem. 16 The werk of a iust man is to lijf; but the fruyt of a wickid man is to synne. 17 The weie of lijf is to him that kepith chastising; but he that forsakith blamyngis, errith. 18 False lippis hiden hatrede; he that bringith forth dispisinge is vnwijs. 19 Synne schal not faile in myche spekyng; but he that mesurith hise lippis, is moost prudent. 20 Chosun siluer is the tunge of a iust man; the herte of wickid men is for nouyt. 21 The lippis of a iust man techen ful manye men; but thei that ben vnlerned, schulen die in nedinesse of herte. 22 The blessing of the Lord makith riche men; and turment schal not be felowschipid to hem. 23 A fool worchith wickidnesse as bi leiyyng; but `wisdom is prudence to a man. 24 That that a wickid man dredith, schal come on hym; the desire of iust men schalbe youun to hem. 25 As a tempeste passynge, a wickid man schal not be; but a iust man schal be as an euerlastynge foundement. 26 As vynegre noieth the teeth, and smoke noieth the iyen; so a slow man noieth hem that senten hym in the weie. 27 The drede of the Lord encreesith daies; and the yeeris of wickid men schulen be maad schort. 28 Abiding of iust men is gladnesse; but the hope of wickid men schal perische. 29 The strengthe of a symple man is the weie of the Lord; and drede to hem that worchen yuel. 30 A iust man schal not be moued with outen ende; but wickid men schulen not dwelle on the erthe. 31 The mouth of a iust man schal bringe forth wisdom; the tunge of schrewis schal perische. 32 The lippis of a iust man biholden pleasaunt thingis; and the mouth of wickid men byholdith weiward thingis.
