| 1 | Therfor clepe thou, if `ony is that schal answere thee, and turne thou to summe of seyntis. |
| 2 | Wrathfulnesse sleeth `a fonned man, and enuye sleeth a litil child. |
| 3 | Y siy a fool with stidefast rote, and Y curside his feirnesse anoon. |
| 4 | Hise sones schulen be maad fer fro helthe, and thei schulen be defoulid in the yate, and `noon schal be that schal delyuere hem. |
| 5 | Whos ripe corn an hungri man schal ete, and an armed man schal rauysche hym, and thei, that thirsten, schulen drynke hise richessis. |
| 6 | No thing is doon in erthe with out cause, and sorewe schal not go out of the erthe. |
| 7 | A man is borun to labour, and a brid to fliyt. |
| 8 | Wherfor Y schal biseche the Lord, and Y schal sette my speche to my God. |
| 9 | That makith grete thingis, and that moun not be souyt out, and wondurful thingis with out noumbre. |
| 10 | Which yyueth reyn on the face of erthe, and moistith alle thingis with watris. |
| 11 | Which settith meke men an hiy, and reisith with helthe hem that morenen. |
| 12 | Which distrieth the thouytis of yuel willid men, that her hondis moun not fille tho thingis that thei bigunnen. |
| 13 | Which takith cautelouse men in the felnesse `of hem, and distrieth the counsel of schrewis. |
| 14 | Bi dai thei schulen renne in to derknessis, and as in nyyt so thei schulen grope in myddai. |
| 15 | Certis God schal make saaf a nedi man fro the swerd of her mouth, and a pore man fro the hond of the violent, `ethir rauynour. |
| 16 | And hope schal be to a nedi man, but wickidnesse schal drawe togidere his mouth. |
| 17 | Blessid is the man, which is chastisid of the Lord; therfor repreue thou not the blamyng of the Lord. |
| 18 | For he woundith, and doith medicyn; he smytith, and hise hondis schulen make hool. |
| 19 | In sixe tribulaciouns he schal delyuere thee, and in the seuenthe tribulacioun yuel schal not touche thee. |
| 20 | In hungur he schal delyuere thee fro deeth, and in batel fro the power of swerd. |
| 21 | Thou schalt be hid fro the scourge of tunge, and thou schalt not drede myseiste, `ethir wretchidnesse, whanne it cometh. |
| 22 | In distriyng maad of enemyes and in hungur thou schalt leiye, and thou schalt not drede the beestis of erthe. |
| 23 | But thi couenaunt schal be with the stonys of erthe, and beestis of erthe schulen be pesible to thee. |
| 24 | And thou schalt wite, that thi tabernacle hath pees, and thou visitynge thi fairnesse schalt not do synne. |
| 25 | And thou schalt wite also, that thi seed schal be many fold, and thi generacioun schal be as an erbe of erthe. |
| 26 | In abundaunce thou schalt go in to the sepulcre, as an heep of wheete is borun in his tyme. |
| 27 | Lo! this is so, as we han souyt; which thing herd, trete thou in minde. |
