CHAP. XXV.
1 What things are beautifull, and what hatefull. 6 What is the crowne of age. 7 What things make men happy. 13 Nothing worse then a wicked woman.
1In three things I was beautified, and stoode vp beautiful, both before God and men: the vnitie of brethren, the loue of neighbours, a man and a wife that agree together.1
3If thou hast gathered nothing in thy youth, how canst thou finde any thing in thine age?
4Oh how comely a thing is iudgement for gray haires, and for ancient men to know counsell?
5Oh how comely is the wisedome of olde men, and vnderstanding and counsell to men of honour?
6Much experience is the crowne of olde men, and the feare of God is their glory.
8Well is him that dwelleth with a wife of vnderstanding, and that hath not slipped with his tongue, and that hath not serued a man more vnworthy then himselfe.8
9Well is him that hath found prudence, and he that speaketh in the eares of him that will heare.9
10Oh how great is he that findeth wisedome! yet is there none aboue him that feareth the Lord.
11But the loue of the Lord passeth all things for illumination: he that holdeth it, whereto shall he be likened?11
12The feare of the Lord is the beginning of his loue: and faith is the beginning of cleauing vnto him.
15There is no head aboue the head of a serpent, and there is no wrath aboue the wrath of an enemie.
16I had rather dwell with a lyon and a dragon, then to keepe house with a wicked woman.16
17The wickednesse of a woman changeth her face, and darkeneth her countenance like sackecloth.17
18Her husband shall sit among his neighbours: and when hee heareth it, shall sigh bitterly.
20As the climbing vp a sandie way is to the feete of the aged, so is a wife full of words to a quiet man.20
21Stumble not at the beautie of a woman, and desire her not for pleasure.21
22A woman, if shee maintaine her husband, is full of anger, impudencie, and much reproch.
24Of the woman came the beginning of sinne, & through her wee all die.24
25Giue the water no passage: neither a wicked woman libertie to gad abroad.
