| 1 | Forsothe Baldach Suythes answeride, and seide, |
| 2 | `Til to what ende schalt thou booste with wordis? Vndurstonde thou first, and so speke we. |
| 3 | Whi ben we arettid as beestis, and han we be foule bifor thee? |
| 4 | What leesist thou thi soule in thi woodnes? Whether the erthe schal be forsakun `for thee, and hard stoonys schulen be borun ouer fro her place? |
| 5 | Whethir the liyt of a wickid man schal not be quenchid; and the flawme of his fier schal not schyne? |
| 6 | Liyt schal wexe derke in his tabernacle; and the lanterne, which is on hym, schal be quenchid. |
| 7 | The steppis of his vertu schulen be maad streit; and his counsel schal caste hym doun. |
| 8 | For he hath sent hise feet in to a net; and he goith in the meschis therof. |
| 9 | His foot schal be holdun with a snare; and thirst schal brenne out ayens hym. |
| 10 | The foot trappe of hym is hid in the erthe, and his snare on the path. |
| 11 | Dredis schulen make hym aferd on ech side, and schulen biwlappe hise feet. |
| 12 | His strengthe be maad feble bi hungur; and pouert asaile hise ribbis. |
| 13 | Deuoure it the fairnesse of his skyn; the firste gendrid deth waste hise armes. |
| 14 | His trist be takun awei fro his tabernacle; and perischyng, as a kyng, aboue trede on hym. |
| 15 | The felowis of hym that is not, dwelle in his tabernacle; brymston be spreynt in his tabernacle. |
| 16 | The rootis of hym be maad drie bynethe; sotheli his ripe corn be al to-brokun aboue. |
| 17 | His mynde perische fro the erthe; and his name be not maad solempne in stretis. |
| 18 | He schal put hym out fro `liyt in to derknessis; and he schal bere hym ouer fro the world. |
| 19 | Nethir his seed nether kynrede schal be in his puple, nether ony relifs in hise cuntreis. |
| 20 | The laste men schulen wondre in hise daies; and hidousnesse schal asaile the firste men. |
| 21 | Therfor these ben the tabernaclis of a wickid man; and this is the place of hym, that knowith not God. |
