1A slow man is stonyd in a stoon of cley; and alle men schulen speke on the dispisyng of him. 2A slow man is stonyd of the dung of oxis; and ech man that touchith hym, schal schake the hondis. 3The schame of a fadir is of a sone vnlerned; but a fonned douyter schal be in decreessyng. 4A prudent douyter is eritage to hir hosebonde; for sche that schendith hir hosebonde, is in dispisyng of the fadir. 5A `schameles womman schendith the fadir and hosebonde, and schal not be maad lesse than vnfeithful men; forsothe sche schal not be onourid of euer either. 6Melodie in morenyng is vncouuenable tellyng; betyngis and techyng in al tyme with wisdom. 7He that techith a fool, as he that glueth togidere a tiel stoon. 8He that tellith a word to hym that herith not, is as he that reisith a man slepynge fro a greuouse sleep. 9He that tellith wisdom to a fool, spekith with a man slepynge; and in the ende of the tellyng he schal seie, Who is this? 10Wepe thou on a deed man, for whi his liyt failide; and wepe thou on a fool, for he failide of wit. 11Wepe thou a litil on a deed man, for he hath restid. 12Forsothe the lijf of a ful wickid man is ful wickid, more than the deth of a fool. 13The morenyng of a deed man is seuene daies; but the morenyng of a fool and of a wickid man is alle the daies of her lijf. 14Speke thou not myche with a fool, and go thou not with an vnwijs man. 15Keep thee fro hym, that thou haue not disese; and thou schalt not be defoulid in the synne of hym. 16Boowe thou awei fro hym, and thou schalt fynde reste; and be thou not anoied by his foly. 17What schal be maad heuyere than leed? and what othere name than a fool is to it? 18It is liytere to bere grauel, and salt, and a gobet of yrun, than a man vnprudent, and a fool, and vnfeithful. 19As an heep of trees, boundun togidere in the foundement of the bilding, schal not be vnboundun, so and an herte confermed in the thouyt of counsel. 20The thouyt of a wijs man shal not be maad schrewid in ony tyme, nether drede. 21As chaffis in hiye places, and soond with out medling of hym, set ayens the face of wynd, schulen not dwelle; 22so and a dreedful herte in the thouyt of a fool ayenstondith not ayens the feersnesse of drede. 23As ournyng, ether pargetyng, ful of grauel in a cleer wal, so and a ferdful herte in the thouyt of a fool schal not drede in ony tyme; so and he that dwellith euere in the heestis of God. 24He that prickith the iye, schal leede out teeris; and he that prickith the herte, bryngith forth wit. 25He that castith a stoon to briddis, schal caste doun tho; so and he that doith wrong to a frend, departith frenschipe. 26Thouy thou bryngist forth a swerd to a frend, dispeire thou not; for ther is going ayen to the frend. 27If he openeth a soreuful mouth, drede thou not; for whi ther is acordyng, outakun dispisynge, and schenschipe, and pride, and schewyng of preuyte, and a tretcherouse wounde; in alle these thingis a frend schal fle awei. 28Haue thou feith with a frend in his pouert, that thou be glad also in hise goodis. 29In the tyme of his tribulacioun dwelle thou feithful to hym, that also thou be euene eir in the eritage of hym. 30Heete and smook of fier is maad hiy bifore the fier of a chymenei; so and cursyngis, and dispisyngis, and manaassis, comen bifore blood. 31I schal not be aschamed for to grete a frend, and Y schal not hide me fro his face; thouy yuels comen to me bi hym, Y schal suffre. 32Ech man that schal here, schal kepe warli hym silf fro hym. 33Who schal yyue keping to my mouth, and a certeyn ceelyng on my lippis, that Y falle not bi tho, and that my tunge leese not me?
