προσθεὶς δὲ Ελιους ἔτι λέγει

μεῖνόν με μικρὸν ἔτι ἵνα διδάξω σε ἔτι γὰρ ἐν ἐμοί ἐστιν λέξις
3 Y schal reherse my kunnyng fro the bigynnyng; and Y schal preue my worchere iust.
ἀναλαβὼν τὴν ἐπιστήμην μου μακρὰν ἔργοις δέ μου δίκαια ἐρῶ
4 For verili my wordis ben with out leesyng, and perfit kunnyng schal be preued to thee.
ἐπ’ ἀληθείας καὶ οὐκ ἄδικα ῥήματα ἀδίκως συνίεις
5 God castith not awei myyti men, sithen he is myyti;
γίγνωσκε δὲ ὅτι ὁ κύριος οὐ μὴ ἀποποιήσηται τὸν ἄκακον δυνατὸς ἰσχύι καρδίας
6 but he saueth not wickid men, and he yyueth dom to pore men.
ἀσεβῆ οὐ μὴ ζωοποιήσει καὶ κρίμα πτωχῶν δώσει
7 He takith not awei hise iyen fro a iust man; and he settith kyngis in seete with out ende, and thei ben reisid there.
οὐκ ἀφελεῖ ἀπὸ δικαίου ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ μετὰ βασιλέων εἰς θρόνον καὶ καθιεῖ αὐτοὺς εἰς νεῖκος καὶ ὑψωθήσονται
8 And if thei ben in chaynes, and ben boundun with the roopis of pouert,
καὶ εἰ πεπεδημένοι ἐν χειροπέδαις συσχεθήσονται ἐν σχοινίοις πενίας
9 he schal shewe to hem her werkis, and her grete trespassis; for thei weren violent, `ethir rauenours.

ἀλλὰ τοῦ δικαίου εἰσακούσεται καὶ εἶπεν ὅτι ἐπιστραφήσονται ἐξ ἀδικίας
11 If thei heren, and kepen, thei schulen fille her daies in good, and her yeris in glorie.
ἐὰν ἀκούσωσιν καὶ δουλεύσωσιν συντελέσουσιν τὰς ἡμέρας αὐτῶν ἐν ἀγαθοῖς καὶ τὰ ἔτη αὐτῶν ἐν εὐπρεπείαις
12 Sotheli if thei heren not, thei schulen passe bi swerd, and thei schulen be wastid in foli.
ἀσεβεῖς δὲ οὐ διασῴζει παρὰ τὸ μὴ βούλεσθαι εἰδέναι αὐτοὺς τὸν κύριον καὶ διότι νουθετούμενοι ἀνήκοοι ἦσαν
13 Feyneris and false men stiren the ire of God; and thei schulen not crye, whanne thei ben boundun.
καὶ ὑποκριταὶ καρδίᾳ τάξουσιν θυμόν οὐ βοήσονται ὅτι ἔδησεν αὐτούς

ἀνθ’ ὧν ἔθλιψαν ἀσθενῆ καὶ ἀδύνατον κρίμα δὲ πραέων ἐκθήσει
16 Therfor he schal saue thee fro the streit mouth of the broddeste tribulacioun, and not hauynge a foundement vndur it; sotheli the rest of thi table schal be ful of fatnesse.
καὶ προσέτι ἠπάτησέν σε ἐκ στόματος ἐχθροῦ ἄβυσσος κατάχυσις ὑποκάτω αὐτῆς καὶ κατέβη τράπεζά σου πλήρης πιότητος

οὐχ ὑστερήσει δὲ ἀπὸ δικαίων κρίμα

θυμὸς δὲ ἐπ’ ἀσεβεῖς ἔσται δῑ ἀσέβειαν δώρων ὧν ἐδέχοντο ἐπ’ ἀδικίαις
19 Putte doun thi greetnesse with out tribulacioun, and putte doun alle stronge men bi strengthe.
μή σε ἐκκλινάτω ἑκὼν ὁ νοῦς δεήσεως ἐν ἀνάγκῃ ὄντων ἀδυνάτων καὶ πάντας τοὺς κραταιοῦντας ἰσχύν

μνήσθητι ὅτι μεγάλα ἐστὶν αὐτοῦ τὰ ἔργα ὧν ἦρξαν ἄνδρες

ῥυήσονται παλαιώματα ἐσκίασεν δὲ νέφη ἐπὶ ἀμυθήτων βροτῶν ὥραν ἔθετο κτήνεσιν οἴδασιν δὲ κοίτης τάξιν ἐπὶ τούτοις πᾶσιν οὐκ ἐξίσταταί σου ἡ διάνοια οὐδὲ διαλλάσσεταί σου ἡ καρδία ἀπὸ σώματος
