Wycliffe - Proverbs - 5

5:1  Mi sone, perseyue thou my wisdom, and bowe doun thin eere to my prudence; that thou kepe thi thouytis,

5:2  and thi lippis kepe teching. Yyue thou not tent to the falsnesse of a womman;

5:3  for the lippis of an hoore ben an hony coomb droppinge, and hir throte is clerere than oile;

5:4  but the last thingis ben bittir as wormod, and hir tunge is scharp as a swerd keruynge on ech side.

5:5  Hir feet gon doun in to deeth; and hir steppis persen to hellis.

5:6  Tho goon not bi the path of lijf; hir steppis ben vncerteyn, and moun not be souyt out.

5:7  Now therfor, my sone, here thou me, and go not awei fro the wordis of my mouth.

5:8  Make fer thi weie fro hir, and neiye thou not to the doris of hir hous.

5:9  Yyue thou not thin onour to aliens, and thi yeeris to the cruel;

5:10  lest perauenture straungeris be fillid with thi strengthis, and lest thi trauels be in an alien hous;

5:11  and thou biweile in the laste daies, whanne thou hast wastid thi fleschis, and thi bodi; and thou seie,

5:12  Whi wlatide Y teching, and myn herte assentide not to blamyngis;

5:13  nether Y herde the voys of men techinge me, and Y bowide not doun myn eere to maistris?

5:14  Almest Y was in al yuel, in the myddis of the chirche, and of the synagoge.

5:15  Drinke thou watir of thi cisterne, and the floodis of thi pit.

5:16  Thi wellis be stremed forth; and departe thi watris in stretis.

5:17  Haue thou aloone `tho watris; and aliens be not thi parceneris.

5:18  Thi veyne be blessid; and be thou glad with the womman of thi yong wexynge age.

5:19  An hynde moost dereworthe; and an hert calf moost acceptable. Hir teetis fille thee in al tyme; and delite thou contynueli in the loue of hir.

5:20  Mi sone, whi art thou disseyued of an alien womman; and art fostrid in the bosum of an othere?

5:21  The Lord seeth the weie of a man; and biholdith alle hise steppis.

5:22  The wickidnessis of a wyckid man taken hym; and he is boundun with the roopis of hise synnes.

5:23  He schal die, for he hadde not lernyng; and he schal be disseyued in the mychilnesse of his fooli.
