3 for honey to drip/prophesy lips be a stranger and smooth from oil palate her
for the lippis of an hoore ben an hony coomb droppinge, and hir throte is clerere than oile;
4 and end her bitter like/as wormwood sharp like/as sword lip: edge
but the last thingis ben bittir as wormod, and hir tunge is scharp as a swerd keruynge on ech side.
5 foot her to go down death hell: Sheol step her to grasp (Sheol h7585)
Hir feet gon doun in to deeth; and hir steppis persen to hellis. (Sheol h7585)
6 way life lest to envy to shake track her not to know
Tho goon not bi the path of lijf; hir steppis ben vncerteyn, and moun not be souyt out.
7 and now son: descendant/people to hear: hear to/for me and not to turn aside: depart from word lip my
Now therfor, my sone, here thou me, and go not awei fro the wordis of my mouth.
8 to remove from upon her way: journey your and not to present: come to(wards) entrance house: home her
Make fer thi weie fro hir, and neiye thou not to the doris of hir hous.
9 lest to give: give to/for another splendor your and year your to/for cruel
Yyue thou not thin onour to aliens, and thi yeeris to the cruel;
10 lest to satisfy be a stranger strength your and toil your in/on/with house: home foreign
lest perauenture straungeris be fillid with thi strengthis, and lest thi trauels be in an alien hous;
11 and to groan in/on/with end your in/on/with to end: destroy flesh your and flesh your
and thou biweile in the laste daies, whanne thou hast wastid thi fleschis, and thi bodi; and thou seie,
12 and to say how? to hate discipline and argument to spurn heart my
Whi wlatide Y teching, and myn herte assentide not to blamyngis;
13 and not to hear: hear in/on/with voice rain/teacher my and to/for to learn: teach me not to stretch ear my
nether Y herde the voys of men techinge me, and Y bowide not doun myn eere to maistris?
14 like/as little to be in/on/with all bad: evil in/on/with midst assembly and congregation
Almest Y was in al yuel, in the myddis of the chirche, and of the synagoge.
15 to drink water from pit your and to flow from midst well your
Drinke thou watir of thi cisterne, and the floodis of thi pit.
16 to flow spring your outside [to] in/on/with street/plaza stream water
Thi wellis be stremed forth; and departe thi watris in stretis.
17 to be to/for you to/for alone you and nothing to/for be a stranger with you
Haue thou aloone `tho watris; and aliens be not thi parceneris.
18 to be fountain your to bless and to rejoice from woman: wife youth your
Thi veyne be blessid; and be thou glad with the womman of thi yong wexynge age.
19 doe lover and doe favor breast her to quench you in/on/with all time in/on/with love her to wander continually
An hynde moost dereworthe; and an hert calf moost acceptable. Hir teetis fille thee in al tyme; and delite thou contynueli in the loue of hir.
20 and to/for what? to wander son: child my in/on/with be a stranger and to embrace bosom: embrace foreign
Mi sone, whi art thou disseyued of an alien womman; and art fostrid in the bosum of an othere?
21 for before eye LORD way: conduct man and all track his to envy
The Lord seeth the weie of a man; and biholdith alle hise steppis.
22 iniquity: crime his to capture him [obj] [the] wicked and in/on/with cord sin his to grasp
The wickidnessis of a wyckid man taken hym; and he is boundun with the roopis of hise synnes.
23 he/she/it to die in/on/with nothing discipline and in/on/with abundance folly his to wander
He schal die, for he hadde not lernyng; and he schal be disseyued in the mychilnesse of his fooli.
