Prov | Wycliffe | 23:2 | and sette thou a withholding in thi throte. If netheles thou hast power on thi soule, | |
Prov | Wycliffe | 23:5 | Reise not thin iyen to richessis, whiche thou maist not haue; for tho schulen make to hem silf pennes, as of an egle, and tho schulen flee in to heuene. | |
Prov | Wycliffe | 23:7 | for at the licnesse of a fals dyuynour and of a coniectere, he gessith that, that he knowith not. He schal seie to thee, Ete thou and drinke; and his soule is not with thee. | |
Prov | Wycliffe | 23:8 | Thou schalt brake out the metis, whiche thou hast ete; and thou schalt leese thi faire wordis. | |
Prov | Wycliffe | 23:9 | Speke thou not in the eeris of vnwise men; for thei schulen dispise the teching of thi speche. | |

Prov | Wycliffe | 23:20 | Nyle thou be in the feestis of drinkeris, nether in the ofte etyngis of hem, that bryngen togidere fleischis to ete. | |

Prov | Wycliffe | 23:25 | Thi fadir and thi modir haue ioye, and he that gendride thee, make ful out ioye. | |
Prov | Wycliffe | 23:28 | Sche settith aspie in the weie, as a theef; and sche schal sle hem, whiche sche schal se vnwar. | |
Prov | Wycliffe | 23:29 | To whom is wo? to whos fadir is wo? to whom ben chidingis? to whom ben dichis? to whom ben woundis with out cause? to whom is puttyng out of iyen? | |
Prov | Wycliffe | 23:31 | Biholde thou not wyn, whanne it sparclith, whanne the colour therof schyneth in a ver. | |

Prov | Wycliffe | 23:33 | Thin iyen schulen se straunge wymmen, and thi herte schal speke weiwerd thingis. | |
Prov | Wycliffe | 23:34 | And thou schalt be as a man slepinge in the myddis of the see, and as a gouernour aslepid, whanne the steere is lost. | |
