| 1 | Sotheli Baldath Suytes answeride, and seide, |
| 2 | Hou longe schalt thou speke siche thingis? The spirit of the word of thi mouth is manyfold. |
| 3 | Whether God supplauntith, `ethir disseyueth, doom, and whether Almyyti God distrieth that, that is iust? |
| 4 | Yhe, thouy thi sones synneden ayens hym, and he lefte hem in the hond of her wickidnesse; |
| 5 | netheles, if thou risist eerli to God, and bisechist `Almyyti God, if thou goist clene and riytful, |
| 6 | anoon he schal wake fulli to thee, and schal make pesible the dwellyng place of thi ryytfulnesse; |
| 7 | in so miche that thi formere thingis weren litil, and that thi laste thingis be multiplied greetli. |
| 8 | For whi, axe thou the formere generacioun, and seke thou diligentli the mynde of fadris. For we ben men of yistirdai, and `kunnen not; for oure daies ben as schadewe on the erthe. |
| 9 | — |
| 10 | And thei schulen teche thee, thei schulen speke to thee, and of her herte thei schulen bring forth spechis. |
| 11 | Whether a rusche may lyue with out moysture? ethir a spier `may wexe with out watir? |
| 12 | Whanne it is yit in the flour, nethir is takun with hond, it wexeth drie bifor alle erbis. |
| 13 | So the weies of alle men, that foryeten God; and the hope of an ypocrite schal perische. |
| 14 | His cowardise schal not plese hym, and his trist schal be as a web of yreyns. |
| 15 | He schal leene, `ether reste, on his hows, and it schal not stonde; he schal vndursette it, and it schal not rise togidere. |
| 16 | The rusche semeth moist, bifor that the sunne come; and in the risyng of the sunne the seed therof schal go out. |
| 17 | Rootis therof schulen be maad thicke on an heep of stoonys, and it schal dwelle among stoonys. |
| 18 | If a man drawith it out of `his place, his place schal denye it, and schal seie, Y knowe thee not. |
| 19 | For this is the gladnesse of his weie, that eft othere ruschis springe out of the erthe. |
| 20 | Forsothe God schal not caste a wei a symple man, nethir schal dresse hond to wickid men; |
| 21 | til thi mouth be fillid with leiytir, and thi lippis with hertli song. |
| 22 | Thei that haten thee schulen be clothid with schenschip; and the tabernacle of wickid men schal not stonde. |
