Proverbs 25
- 1 Also these ben the Parablis of Salomon, whiche the men of Ezechie, kyng of Juda, translatiden.
- 2 The glorie of God is to hele a word; and the glorie of kyngis is to seke out a word.
- 3 Heuene aboue, and the erthe bynethe, and the herte of kyngis is vnserchable.
- 4 Do thou a wei rust fro siluer, and a ful cleene vessel schal go out.
- 5 Do thou awei vnpite fro the cheer of the kyng, and his trone schal be maad stidfast bi riytfulnesse.
- 6 Appere thou not gloriouse bifore the kyng, and stonde thou not in the place of grete men.
- 7 For it is betere, that it be seid to thee, Stie thou hidur, than that thou be maad low bifore the prince.
- 8 Brynge thou not forth soone tho thingis in strijf, whiche thin iyen sien; lest aftirward thou maist not amende, whanne thou hast maad thi frend vnhonest.
- 9 Trete thi cause with thi frend, and schewe thou not priuyte to a straunge man;
- 10 lest perauenture he haue ioye of thi fal, whanne he hath herde, and ceesse not to do schenschipe to thee. Grace and frenschip delyueren, whiche kepe thou to thee, that thou be not maad repreuable.
- 11 A goldun pomel in beddis of siluer is he, that spekith a word in his time.
- 12 A goldun eere ryng, and a schinynge peerle is he, that repreueth a wijs man, and an eere obeiynge.
- 13 As the coold of snow in the dai of heruest, so a feithful messanger to hym that sente `thilke messanger, makith his soule to haue reste.
- 14 A cloude and wind, and reyn not suynge, is a gloriouse man, and not fillynge biheestis.
- 15 A prince schal be maad soft bi pacience; and a soft tunge schal breke hardnesse.
- 16 Thou hast founde hony, ete thou that that suffisith to thee; lest perauenture thou be fillid, and brake it out.
- 17 Withdrawe thi foot fro the hous of thi neiybore; lest sum tyme he be fillid, and hate thee.
- 18 A dart, and a swerd, and a scharp arowe, a man that spekith fals witnessing ayens his neiybore.
- 19 A rotun tooth, and a feynt foot is he, that hopith on an vnfeithful man in the dai of angwisch,
- 20 and leesith his mentil in the dai of coold. Vynegre in a vessel of salt is he, that singith songis to the worste herte. As a mouyte noieth a cloth, and a worm noieth a tree, so the sorewe of a man noieth the herte.
- 21 If thin enemy hungrith, feede thou him; if he thirstith, yyue thou watir to hym to drinke;
- 22 for thou schalt gadere togidere coolis on his heed; and the Lord schal yelde to thee.
- 23 The north wind scatereth reynes; and a sorewful face distrieth a tunge bacbitinge.
- 24 It is betere to sitte in the corner of an hous without roof, than with a womman ful of chidyng, and in a comyn hous.
- 25 Coold watir to a thirsti man; and a good messanger fro a fer lond.
- 26 A welle disturblid with foot, and a veyne brokun, a iust man fallinge bifore a wickid man.
- 27 As it is not good to hym that etith myche hony; so he that is a serchere of maieste, schal be put doun fro glorie.
- 28 As a citee opyn, and with out cumpas of wallis; so is a man that mai not refreyne his spirit in speking.

John Wycliffe Bible (c.1395) (wycliffe - 2.4.1)
2020-08-01English (enm)
The Holy Bible, containing the Old and New Testaments, with the Apocryphal books, in the earliest English versions made from the Latin Vulgate by John Wycliffe and his followers, c.1395
Source text https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Bible_(Wycliffe)
John Wycliffe organized the first complete translation of the Bible into Middle English in the 1380s.
The translation from the Vulgate was a collaborative effort, and it is not clear which portions are actually Wycliffe's work.
Church authorities officially condemned the translators of the Bible into vernacular languages and called these heretics Lollards.
Despite their prohibition, revised versions of Wycliffite Bibles remained in use for about 100 years.
Wikisource attributes its source as the Wesley Center Online.
That in turn was derived from the Fedosov transcription on the Slavic Bibles site http://www.sbible.ru
The source text makes no use of archaic letters that were part of Middle English orthography.
The Latin letter Yogh [ȝ] was evidently replaced by the letter [y] in the Fedosov transcription.
The text is available under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.
Verse numbers were not used in either the earlier or later version of the Wycliffe Bible in the fourteenth century. Each chapter consisted of one unbroken block of text. There were not even any paragraphs. Hence whatever verse numbers we now have in modern editions have been added retrospectively by comparison with other English Bibles and the Latin Vulgate.
Two books found in the Vulgate, II Esdras and Psalm 151, were never part of the Wycliffe Bible.
Module build notes:
1. The Prayer of Manasseh has been separated from 2 Chronicles in order to avoid a critical versification issue.
cf. In Wikisource it was assigned as 2 Paralipomenon chapter 37.
2. The Letter of Jeremiah has been joined to Baruch as chapter 6 thereof.
3. The book order of Wycliffe's Bible differs from that of the Vulg versification used in this module.
4. There are now 313 notes in the Wikisource document.
5. The Wikisource text substantially matches that of the nine books in module version 1.0
6. Each of these five verses not in the Vulg versification was appended to the previous verse: Deut.27.27 Esth.5.15 Ps.38.15 Ps.147.10 Luke.10.43
7. There are also several verses without any text. Use Sword utility emptyvss to list these.- Encoding: UTF-8
