Proverbs 13
1 A wise son, [cometh of] a father’s correction, but, a scoffer, heareth not a rebuke.
A wijs sone is the teching of the fadir; but he that is a scornere, herith not, whanne he is repreuyd.
2 Of the fruit of his mouth, shall a man eat what is good, but, the soul of the treacherous, [shall be sated with] violence.
A man schal be fillid with goodis of the fruit of his mouth; but the soule of vnpitouse men is wickid.
3 He that watcheth his mouth, guardeth his soul, He that openeth wide his lips, [it shall be] his ruin.
He that kepith his mouth, kepith his soule; but he that is vnwar to speke, schal feel yuels.
4 The sluggard, desireth, but his soul hath, nothing. But, the soul of the diligent, shall be enriched.
A slow man wole, and wole not; but the soule of hem that worchen schal be maad fat.
5 A word of falsehood, the righteous man, hateth, but, the lawless, causeth shame and disgrace.
A iust man schal wlate a fals word; but a wickid man schendith, and schal be schent.
6 Righteousness, guardeth the man of blameless way, but, lawlessness, overthroweth the sinner.
Riytfulnesse kepith the weie of an innocent man; but wickidnesse disseyueth a synnere.
7 There is who feigneth himself rich, yet hath nothing at all, who pleadeth poverty, yet hath great substance.
A man is as riche, whanne he hath no thing; and a man is as pore, whanne he is in many richessis.
8 The ransom of a man’s life, is his wealth, but, the poor, heareth not rebuke.
Redempcioun of the soule of man is hise richessis; but he that is pore, suffrith not blamyng.
9 The light of the righteous, rejoiceth, but, the lamp of the lawless, goeth out.
The liyt of iust men makith glad; but the lanterne of wickid men schal be quenchid.
10 Only by pride, doth one cause contention, but, with the well-advised, is wisdom.
Stryues ben euere a mong proude men; but thei that don alle thingis with counsel, ben gouerned bi wisdom.
11 Wealth gotten by greed, diminisheth, but, he that gathereth by little, increaseth.
Hastid catel schal be maad lesse; but that that is gaderid litil and litil with hond, schal be multiplied.
12 Hope deferred, sickeneth the heart, —but, a tree of life, is desire fulfilled.
Hope which is dilaied, turmentith the soule; a tre of lijf is desir comyng.
13 He that despiseth a matter, shall get pledged thereto, but, he that revereth a commandment, the same shall be recompensed.
He that bacbitith ony thing, byndith hym silf in to tyme to comynge; but he that dredith the comaundement, schal lyue in pees.
14 the instruction of the wise, is a well-spring of life, by departing from the snares of death.
The lawe of a wise man is a welle of lijf; that he bowe awei fro the falling of deth.
15 Sound discretion, yieldeth favour, but, the way of the treacherous, is rugged.
Good teching schal yyue grace; a swolowe is in the weie of dispiseris.
16 Every prudent man, maketh use of knowledge, but, a dullard, spreadeth folly.
A fel man doith alle thingis with counsel; but he that is a fool, schal opene foli.
17 A lawless messenger, falleth into mischief, but, a faithful herald, bringeth healing.
The messanger of a wickid man schal falle in to yuel; a feithful messanger is helthe.
18 Poverty and contempt, are for him that neglecteth correction, but, he that regardeth reproof, shall be honoured.
Nedynesse and schenschip is to him that forsakith techyng; but he that assentith to a blamere, schal be glorified.
19 A desire fulfilled, is sweet to the soul, but it is, an abomination to the lawless, to depart from evil.
Desir, if it is fillid, delitith the soule; foolis wlaten hem that fleen yuels.
20 He that walketh with the wise, becometh wise, but, the friend of dullards, becometh foolish.
He that goith with wijs men, schal be wijs; the freend of foolis schal be maad lijk hem.
21 Evil pursueth, sinners, but, unto the righteous, shall good be recompensed.
Yuel pursueth synneris; and goodis schulen be yoldun to iust men.
22 A good man, leaveth an inheritance to children’s children, but, laid up for the righteous, is the wealth of the sinner.
A good man schal leeue aftir him eiris, sones, and the sones of sones; and the catel of a synnere is kept to a iust man.
23 Much food, is in the fallow ground of the poor, but there is that is swept away, for want of justice.
Many meetis ben in the new tilid feeldis of fadris; and ben gaderid to othere men with out doom.
24 He that withholdeth his rod, hateth his son, —but, he that loveth him, carefully correcteth him.
He that sparith the yerde, hatith his sone; but he that loueth him, techith bisili.
25 The righteous, eateth to satisfy his appetite, but, the belly of the lawless, shall want.
A iust man etith, and fillith his soule; but the wombe of wickid men is vnable to be fillid.
