Proverbs 22
- 1 Betere is a good name, than many richessis; for good grace is aboue siluer and gold.
- 2 A riche man and a pore man metten hem silf; the Lord is worchere of euer eithir.
- 3 A felle man seeth yuel, and hidith him silf; and an innocent man passid, and he was turmentid bi harm.
- 4 The ende of temperaunce is the drede of the Lord; richessis, and glorye, and lijf.
- 5 Armuris and swerdis ben in the weie of a weiward man; but the kepere of his soule goith awey fer fro tho.
- 6 It is a prouerbe, A yong wexynge man bisidis his weie, and whanne he hath wexe elde, he schal not go awei fro it.
- 7 A riche man comaundith to pore men; and he that takith borewyng, is the seruaunt of the leenere.
- 8 He that sowith wickidnes, schal repe yuels; and the yerde of his yre schal be endid.
- 9 He that is redi to merci, schal be blessid; for of his looues he yaf to a pore man. He that yyueth yiftis, schal gete victorie and onour; forsothe he takith awei the soule of the takeris.
- 10 Caste thou out a scornere, and strijf schal go out with hym; and causis and dispisyngis schulen ceesse.
- 11 He that loueth the clennesse of herte, schal haue the kyng a freend, for the grace of hise lippis.
- 12 The iyen of the Lord kepen kunnyng; and the wordis of a wickid man ben disseyued.
- 13 A slow man schal seie, A lioun is withoutforth; Y schal be slayn in the myddis of the stretis.
- 14 The mouth of an alien womman is a deep diche; he to whom the Lord is wrooth, schal falle in to it.
- 15 Foli is boundun togidere in the herte of a child; and a yerde of chastisyng schal dryue it awey.
- 16 He that falsli chalengith a pore man, to encreesse hise owne richessis, schal yyue to a richere man, and schal be nedi.
- 17 My sone, bowe doun thin eere, and here thou the wordis of wise men; but sette thou the herte to my techyng.
- 18 That schal be fair to thee, whanne thou hast kept it in thin herte, and it schal flowe ayen in thi lippis.
- 19 That thi trist be in the Lord; wherfor and Y haue schewid it to thee to dai.
- 20 Lo! Y haue discryued it in thre maneres, in thouytis and kunnyng,
- 21 that Y schulde schewe to thee the sadnesse and spechis of trewthe; to answere of these thingis to hem, that senten thee.
- 22 Do thou not violence to a pore man, for he is pore; nethir defoule thou a nedi man in the yate.
- 23 For the Lord schal deme his cause, and he schal turmente hem, that turmentiden his soule.
- 24 Nyle thou be freend to a wrathful man, nether go thou with a wood man;
- 25 lest perauenture thou lerne hise weies, and take sclaundir to thi soule.
- 26 Nyle thou be with hem that oblischen her hondis, and that proferen hem silf borewis for dettis; for if he hath not wherof he schal restore,
- 27 what of cause is, that thou take awei hilyng fro thi bed?
- 28 Go thou not ouer the elde markis, whiche thi faders han set.
- 29 Thou hast seyn a man smert in his werk; he schal stonde bifore kyngis, and he schal not be bifor vnnoble men.

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
