Proverbs 26
- 1 As snow in somer, and reyn in heruest; so glorie is vnsemeli to a fool.
- 2 For whi as a brid fliynge ouer to hiy thingis, and a sparowe goynge in to vncerteyn; so cursing brouyt forth with out resonable cause schal come aboue in to sum man.
- 3 Beting to an hors, and a bernacle to an asse; and a yerde in the bak of vnprudent men.
- 4 Answere thou not to a fool bi his foli, lest thou be maad lijk hym.
- 5 Answere thou a fool bi his fooli, lest he seme to him silf to be wijs.
- 6 An haltinge man in feet, and drinkinge wickidnesse, he that sendith wordis by a fonned messanger.
- 7 As an haltinge man hath faire leggis in veyn; so a parable is vnsemeli in the mouth of foolis.
- 8 As he that casteth a stoon in to an heep of mercurie; so he that yyueth onour to an vnwijs man.
- 9 As if a thorn growith in the hond of a drunkun man; so a parable in the mouth of foolis.
- 10 Doom determyneth causis; and he that settith silence to a fool, swagith iris.
- 11 As a dogge that turneth ayen to his spuyng; so is an vnprudent man, that rehersith his fooli.
- 12 Thou hast seyn a man seme wijs to hym silf; an vnkunnyng man schal haue hope more than he.
- 13 A slow man seith, A lioun is in the weie, a liounnesse is in the foot pathis.
- 14 As a dore is turned in his hengis; so a slow man in his bed.
- 15 A slow man hidith hise hondis vndur his armpit; and he trauelith, if he turneth tho to his mouth.
- 16 A slow man semeth wysere to hym silf, than seuene men spekynge sentensis.
- 17 As he that takith a dogge bi the eeris; so he that passith, and is vnpacient, and is meddlid with the chiding of anothir man.
- 18 As he is gilti, that sendith speris and arowis in to deth;
- 19 so a man that anoieth gilefuli his frend, and whanne he is takun, he schal seie, Y dide pleiynge.
- 20 Whanne trees failen, the fier schal be quenchid; and whanne a priuy bacbitere is withdrawun, stryues resten.
- 21 As deed coolis at quic coolis, and trees at the fier; so a wrathful man reisith chidyngis.
- 22 The wordis of a pryuei bacbitere ben as symple; and tho comen til to the ynneste thingis of the herte.
- 23 As if thou wolt ourne a vessel of erthe with foul siluer; so ben bolnynge lippis felouschipid with `the werste herte.
- 24 An enemy is vndirstondun bi hise lippis, whanne he tretith giles in the herte.
- 25 Whanne he `makith low his vois, bileue thou not to hym; for seuene wickidnessis ben in his herte.
- 26 The malice of hym that hilith hatrede gilefuli, schal be schewid in a counsel.
- 27 He that delueth a diche, schal falle in to it; and if a man walewith a stoon, it schal turne ayen to hym.
- 28 A fals tunge loueth not treuth; and a slidir mouth worchith fallyngis.

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
