1 Wisdom schal preise his soule, and he schal be onourid in God; and he schal haue glorie in the myddis of his puple.
2 And he schal opene his mouth in the chirchis of the hiyeste; and he schal haue glorie in the siyt of his vertu.
2a 24:3 And he schal be enhaunsid in the myddis of his puple; and he schal wondre in hooli plentee.
2b 24:4 And in the multitude of chosun men he schal haue preisyng; and among blessid men he schal be blessid,
3 24:5 and seie, I, the firste gendrid bifore ech creature, cam forth fro the mouth of the hiyeste.
3a 24:6 I made in heuenes, that liyt neuere failynge roos vp, and as a cloude Y hilide al erthe.
4 24:7 Y dwellide in hiyeste thingis, and my trone in a piler of cloude.
5 24:8 Y aloone yede aboute the cumpas of heuene, and Y perside the depthe of the see; and Y yede in the wawis of the see,
6 24:9 and Y stood in al the lond.
6a 24:10 And Y hadde the firste dignite in ech puple, and in ech folk;
7 24:11 and Y trad bi vertu on the neckis of alle excelent men and meke; and in alle these men Y souyte reste, and Y schal dwelle in the eritage of the Lord.
8 24:12 Thanne the creatour of alle comaundide, and seide to me; and he that formyde me, restide in my tabernacle; and he seide to me,
9 24:13 Dwelle thou in Jacob, and take thou eritage in Israel, and sende thou rootis in my chosun men.
10 24:14 Y was gendrid of the bigynnyng and bifore worldis, and Y schal not faile `til to the world to comynge; and Y mynystride in an hooli dwellyng bifore hym.
11 24:15 And so Y was maad stidfast in Syon, and in lijk maner Y restide in a citee halewid, and my power was in Jerusalem.
12 24:16 And Y rootid in a puple onourid; and the eritage therof in to the partis of my God, and my witholding in the plentee of seyntis.
13 24:17 Y was enhaunsid as a cedre in Liban, and as a cipresse tree in the hil of Syon.
14 24:19 As a fair olyue tree in feeldis; and Y was enhaunsid as a plane tree bisidis watir in stretis.
15 24:20 As canel and bawme yyuynge greet smelle, Y yaf odour; as chosun myrre Y yaf the swetnesse of odour.
15a 24:21 And as storax, and galban, and vngula, and gumme, and as Liban not kit doun, Y made hoot my dwellyng place; and myn odour as bawme not meddlid.
16 24:22 Y as a terebynte stretchide forth my boowis; and my boowis ben boowis of onour, and of glorie.
17 24:23 Y as a vyne made fruyt the swetnesse of odour; and my flouris ben the fruytis of onour, and of oneste.
18 24:24 I am a modir of fair loue, and of drede, and of knowyng, and of hooli hope.
18a 24:25 In me is al grace of weie, and of treuthe; in me is al hope of lijf and of vertu.
19 24:26 Alle ye that coueiten me, passe to me; and be ye fillid of my generaciouns.
20 24:27 For whi my spirit is swete aboue hony; and myn eritage is aboue hony, and hony comb.
20a 24:28 My mynde is in the generacioun of worldis.
21 24:29 Thei that eten me, schulen hungre yit; and thei that drynken me, schulen thirste yit.
22 24:30 He that herith me, shal not be schent; and thei that worchen in me, schulen not do synne; and thei that declaren me,
22a 24:31 schulen haue euere lastynge lijf.
23 24:32 Alle these thingis is the book of lijf, and the testament of the hiyeste, and the knowyng of treuthe.
23a 24:33 Moises comaundide a lawe in the comaundementis of riytfulnessis, and eritage to the hous of Jacob, and biheestis to Israel.
24 24:34 He settide to Dauid, his child, to reise of hym a kyng moost strong, and sittynge with outen ende in the trone of onour.
25 24:35 Which kyng fillith wisdom, as Phison schedith out watir; and as Tigris in the daies of newe thingis.
26 24:36 Which, as Eufrates, fillith wit; which multiplieth, as Jordan in the tyme of heruest.
27 24:37 Which sendith techyng as liyt; and is niy alle men, as Gion in the dai of vendage.
28 24:38 Which makith perfitli first to knowe that wisdom; and a feblere man schal not enserche it.
29 24:39 For whi the thouyt therof schal be plenteuouse of the see; and his counsel in the greet occian.
30 24:40 Y wisdom schedde out floodis;
30a 24:41 Y as a weie of ful greet watir of the flood. Y as the flood Dorix, and as a watir cundit Y yede out of paradis.
31 24:42 Y seide, I schal watir my gardyn of plauntyngis; and Y schal greetli fille the fruyt of my child beryng.
31a 24:43 And lo! a plenteuouse weie of watir is maad to me; and my flood neiyede to the see.
32 24:44 For Y liytne techyng as the cheer morewtid to alle men; and Y schal telle out it `til to fer.
32a 24:45 Y schal perse alle the lowere partis of erthe, and Y schal biholde alle that slepen; and Y schal liytne alle that hopen in the Lord.
33 24:46 Yit Y schal schede out teching as profesie, and Y schal leeue it to hem that seken wisdom; and Y schal not faile in to the generaciouns of hem, til in to the hooli world.
34 24:47 Se ye, that Y trauelide not to me aloone, but to alle that seken out treuthe.
