⁴ When he reproueth the sea, he drieth it vp, and turneth all the floudes to drye lande. Basan is desolate, Charmel & the pleasure of Lybanus wasteth awaye. ⁵ The mountaynes tremble for him, the hylles consume. At the syght of hym, the earth quaketh: yee the whole world, and all that dwell therin. ⁶ Who maye endure before his wrath? Or who is able to abyde hys gryme displeasure?

⁵ Therfore iudge nothinge before the tyme vntill the Lorde come, who wyll lyghten thinges, that are hyd in darckenes, and open the counsels of the hertes. And then shall euery man haue praise of God.

²⁰ From whence then commeth wysedome? & where is the place of vnderstandinge?

²⁸ And vnto man he sayde: Beholde, to feare the Lorde, is wisedom, and to forsake euil, is vnderstandinge.

⁴ if thou sekest after her as after money, & dyggest for her as for treasure: ⁵ then shalt thou vnderstande the feare of the Lord, & fynde the knowlege of God. ⁶ For it is the Lord that geueth wysdome, out of hys mouth commeth knowlege & vnderstandyng.

¹⁹ With wysdome hath the Lorde layed the foundacion of the earth, & thorow vnderstanding hath he stablished the heauens.

²³ All these thynges haue I proued because of wysdome: for I thought to be wise, but she went farther fro me ²⁴ then she was before, yea and so depe that I might not reach vnto her ²⁵ I aplied my minde also vnto knowledg, and to seke out science wysdome and vnderstandynge: to know the foolishnesse of the vngodly, and the erroure of dotynge fooles.

¹⁹ For it is written: I will destroye the wysdome of the wyse, and wyll caste awaye the vnderstandinge of the prudent. ²⁰ Where is the wyse? Where is the scribe? Where is the searcher of this worlde?

⁵ Yf anye of you lacke wysedome, let hym axe of God whiche geueth to all men indyfferentlye, and casteth no man in the teath: and it shal be geuen hym.

¹⁷ Euery good gyfte, and euerye perfecte gyfte, is from aboue and commeth doune from the father of lyght wyth whome is no varyablenes, neyther is he chaunged vnto darkenes.

¹⁵ She can not be gotten for the most fine gould, neither may the pryce of her be bought with any money. ¹⁶ No wedges of goulde of Ophir, no precious Onix stones, no Saphirs maye be compared vnto her. ¹⁷ No, neyther goulde, nor Christal, neyther swete odoures, nor golden plate. ¹⁸ There is nothinge so worthy, or so excellent, as ones to be named vnto her: for perfecte wisedome goeth farre beyonde them al. ¹⁹ The Topas that commeth out of Iude, may in no wise be lykened vnto her: yea no maner of apparel howe pleasaunt and fayre soeuer it be.

²¹ She is hyd from the eyes of all men, yea & from the foules of the ayre. ²² Destruccyon and death say: we haue hearde tell of her with oure eares.

¹⁰ More pleasaunt are they then golde, yea then much fyne golde: sweter then hony and the hony combe.

⁵ Therfore shall God cleane destroye the, smyte the in peces, pluke the out of thy dwellynge, and rote the out of the lande of the lyuynge. Selah.

⁷² The law of thy mouth is dearer vnto me, then thousandes of golde and siluer.

¹⁴ for the gettinge of it is better then any marchaundise of syluer, and the profet of it is better then golde. ¹⁵ Wysdome is more worth then precyous stones, and all thinges that thou canste desyre, are not to be compared vnto her.

¹¹ For wysdome is more worth then precious stones, yea, all the thinges that thou canst desire, are not to be compared vnto it.

¹⁸ Riches and honoure are with me, yea, excellent goodes & righteousnes. ¹⁹ My frute is better then golde & precious stone, & myne encrease more worth then fyne siluer.

¹⁶ To haue wysdome in possesstion is better then gold, & to get vnderstanding is more worth then siluer.

²³ Labour for to get the truth: sell not away wisdome, nurtour and vnderstanding

¹⁶ When I applied my mind to learne wysdome, and to knowe the trauail that is in the worlde (and that of such a fashion, that I suffred not myne eyes to slepe nether daye ner nyghte) ¹⁷ I vnderstode of all the workes of god, that it is not impossyble for a man, to attaine vnto the workes that are done vnder the Sunne: and thoughe he bestowe his laboure to seke them oute, yet can he not reach vnto them: yea though a wise man would vndertake to knowe them, yet myght he not fynde them.

¹¹ I spake with in my selfe: I shall neuer viset the Lorde God in this lyfe: I shall neuer se man amonge the dwellers of the worlde.

⁸ He shall be had awaye, hys cause not hearde, & wythout any iudgement: Whose generacion yet no man maye nombre, when he shalbe cut of from the grounde of the lyuyng: Which punishment shall go vpon him, for the transgression of my people.

⁴⁴ Agayne the kyngdome of heauen is lyke vnto treasure, hidde in the fielde, the whiche a man fyndeth and hyddeth: and for ioye therof goeth and selleth all that he hathe, and byeth that felde. ⁴⁵ Agayne the kyngedome of heauen is lyke vnto a marchaunt that seketh good pearles, ⁴⁶ whyche when he had founde one precious pearle, went and solde all that he hadde, and bought it.

³³ O the deapnes of the abundaunte wysedome and knoweledge of God: howe vnsearcheable are his iudgementes, and hys wayes paste fyndynge out? ³⁴ For who hath knoweth the mynde of the Lord? Or who was his counseller?

¹⁸ There is nothinge so worthy, or so excellent, as ones to be named vnto her: for perfecte wisedome goeth farre beyonde them al.

¹³ Well is hym that findeth wysdome, and opteyneth vnderstandinge,

¹⁰ Receiue my doctrine therfore, & not siluer: & my knowledge, more then fyne golde. ¹¹ For wysdome is more worth then precious stones, yea, all the thinges that thou canst desire, are not to be compared vnto it.

¹⁷ I am louyngevnto those that loue me, & they that seke me early, shall fynde me.

¹⁹ My frute is better then golde & precious stone, & myne encrease more worth then fyne siluer.

²⁰ The fourth: a Turcas, Onix and Iaspis. And they shalbe set in golde in their inclosers,

⁴ euen thre thousande talentes of goulde of Ophir, and seuen thousande talentes of syluer tryed: to syle the walles of the house

⁹ Kynges daughters go in thy goodly aray and vpon thy right hande standeth the quene in a vesture of the most fyne golde.

¹² I wyll make a man dearer then fyne goulde, and a man to be more worthe, then a goulden wedge of Ophir.

¹³ Thou hast ben in the pleasaunte garden of God: thou art dect with all maner of precyous stones: wyth Ruby, Topas, Christal, Iacincte, Onic, Iaspys, Saphyr, Smaragde, Carbuncle, and golde. Thy bewty and the holes that be in the, were set forthe in the daye of thy creacyon.

²² Aboue ouer the heades of the beastes there was a fyrmament, whyche was fashyoned as it had bene of the most pure Chrystal, and that was spred out aboue vpon their heades:

⁶ And before the seate there was a sea of glasse lyke vnto a Crystal, and in the middes of the seate, and roundabout the seat were .iiij. beastes full of eyes before and behinde,

¹¹ hauyng the bryghtnes of god And her shinyng was lyke vnto a stone most precyous, euen a Iasper cleare as Chrystal,

¹ And he shewed me a pure ryuer of water of life cleare as cristal: procedyng out of the seat of god and of the lambe.

¹⁵ Wysdome is more worth then precyous stones, and all thinges that thou canste desyre, are not to be compared vnto her.

¹⁰ Aleph. Who so fyndeth an honest faythfull woman, she is much more worth then pearles.

⁷ Zain. Herabsteyners (or Nazarees) were whyter then the snowe or mylke: their coloure was fresh read as the Corall, their beutie lyke the Saphyre.

¹⁶ The Sirians occupied wt the, because of thy diuerse worckes, & increased thy marchaundies, with Smaragdes, with scarlet, with nedle worcke, wt white lynen cloth, with silcke and with Christall.

⁶ Geue not that whiche is holye, to dogges nether cast ye your pearles before swyne, lest they treade them vnder theyr feete, and the other tourne agayne and al to rent you.

⁹ Lykewyse also the women that they araye them selues in comlye apparell wyth shamefastnes and discrete behauyoure not wyth broyded heare other golde, or pearles, or costlye araye:

⁴ And the woman was arayed in purple & rose coloure, and decked wyth golde, precious stones and pearles, and had a cuppe of golde in her hand full of al abominacions and fylthines of her fornicacion.

¹² the ware of gold, & syluer, & precious stones, neither of pearle, sylke, and raynes, & purple, & skarled, and al thin wode, & all maner vessels of iuory, & al maner vessels of most precious wode, and of brasse, and of Iron,

²¹ The .xij. gates were .xij. pearles, euery gate was of one pearle, & the strete of the cytie was pure golde, as thorowe shynyng glasse.

¹⁷ And thou shalt fyll it wyth .iiij. rowes of stones. In the fyrste rowe shalbe a Sardios, a Topas and Smaragdus.

¹⁰ And they fylled it wyth .iiij. rowes of stones (the fyrst rowe Sardios, a Topas & Smaragdus:

²⁰ the fyft sardonix: the .vi. sardeos: the .vij. chrysolite the .viij. beral: the .ix. a topas, the tenth a chrisoprasos: the .xi. a Iacint: and the .xij. an amatist.

¹² Howe commeth a man then by wysedome? Where is the place that men fynde vnderstandinge?

²³ But God seyth her waie, and knoweth her place.

⁶ For it is the Lord that geueth wysdome, out of hys mouth commeth knowlege & vnderstandyng.

²³ All these thynges haue I proued because of wysdome: for I thought to be wise, but she went farther fro me ²⁴ then she was before, yea and so depe that I might not reach vnto her

⁶ That we speake of, is wisdome amonge that are perfecte: not the wisdome of this world (whiche go to nought) ⁷ but we speake that wysdome of God, whiche is in secrete and lyeth hyd, whiche God ordeined before the world vnto oure glory, ⁸ whiche wisdome none of the rulars of this worlde knewe. For had they knowen it, they would not haue crucified the Lorde of Glorye. ⁹ But as it was written: The eye hath not sene, and the eare hath not hearde, neither haue entred into the herte of man the thinges, which God hath prepared for them that loue him. ¹⁰ But God hath opened them to vs by hys spirite. For the spirite searcheth al thinges, ye the bottome of Goddes secretes. ¹¹ For what man knoweth the thynges of a man, saue the spyryte of a man, whiche is wythin him. Euen so the thinges of God knoweth no man, but the spirite of God. ¹² And we haue not receiued the spirite of the world: but the spyryte whiche cometh of God, for to knowe the thinges, that are geuen to vs of God, ¹³ which thinges also we speake, not in the conninge wordes of mannes wysdome, but wyth the conning wordes of the holye ghost, makinge spyritual comparisons of spirituall thinges. ¹⁴ For the naturall man perceiueth not the thinges of the spyrite of God. For they are but folishnes vnto him. Neither can he perceiue them, because he is spiritually examined. ¹⁵ But he that is spyrytuall, discusseth all thinges: yet he hym selfe is iudged of no man.

³ My mouth shall speake of wysdome, and my hert shall muse of vnderstandynge. ⁴ I will enclyne myne eare to the parable, and shewe my darke speach vpon the harpe.

²⁵ At that time Iesus aunswered and said: I prayse the, O father Lorde of heauen and earth, because thou hast hid these thinges from the wyse and prudent, and hast opened theim vnto babes:

¹⁷ Verely I say vnto you, that many Prophetes and perfecte men haue desired to se the thinges whyche ye se, & haue not sene theim: and to heare the thynges which ye heare, and haue not heard them.

³⁵ to fulfil that which was spoken by the Prophet saying: I wil open my mouth in similitudes, & will speake forth thynges whych haue ben kept secrete from the begynnyng of the world.

⁷ but we speake that wysdome of God, whiche is in secrete and lyeth hyd, whiche God ordeined before the world vnto oure glory, ⁸ whiche wisdome none of the rulars of this worlde knewe. For had they knowen it, they would not haue crucified the Lorde of Glorye. ⁹ But as it was written: The eye hath not sene, and the eare hath not hearde, neither haue entred into the herte of man the thinges, which God hath prepared for them that loue him. ¹⁰ But God hath opened them to vs by hys spirite. For the spirite searcheth al thinges, ye the bottome of Goddes secretes.

⁶ yea & all they which dwell beneth in the hell are not hid from him, and the very destruccion it selfe can not be kepte oute of his sighte.

¹⁴ The depe sayeth: she is not in me. The sea sayeth: she is not with me.

¹⁰ Whych peryshed at Endor, & became as the donge of the earth. ¹¹ Make their prynces lyke Oreb & Zeb. Yea, make all their prynces lyke as Zebea & Salmana. ¹² Whiche saye: we will haue the houses of God in possession.

⁷ The lawe of the Lorde is a perfecte lawe it quickeneth the soule. The testimonye of the Lorde is true, and geueth wisdome euen vnto babes.

⁵ Great is our Lord, & great is his power: yea, hys wysdome is infinitie.

¹⁴ I can geue counsayl, & be a gyde: I haue vnderstanding I haue strength.

²² The Lord hym self had me in possession in the begynning of hys wayes, or euer he beganne hys workes afore tyme. ²³ I haue bene ordeyned from euerlasting, & from the beginning or euer the earthe was made. ²⁴ When I was borne, there were nether depthes nor springs of water. ²⁵ Before the foundacions of the mountaynes were layed, yea, before al hylles was I borne. ²⁶ The earth & all that is vpon the earth was not yet made, no not the grounde it selfe. ²⁷ For when he made the heauens, I was present: when he sette vp the depthes in ordre: ²⁸ when he hanged the cloudes aboue: when he fastened the sprynges of the depe: ²⁹ When he shut the sea within certayn boundes, that the waters should not go ouer their markes. When he layed the foundacions of the earth ³⁰ I was with hym, ordering all thinges, delytynge dayly, and reioysinge all waye before hym. ³¹ As for the rounde compase of his worlde, I make it ioyfull: for my delyte is to be among the chyldren of men.

²⁷ All thinges are geuen vnto me of my father. And no man knoweth the sonne but the father: neyther knoweth anye man the father, saue the sonne, and he to whom the sonne wyl open hym.

²¹ That same time reioysed Iesus in the spirite, and sayde: I confesse vnto the father, Lorde of heauen and earth, that thou haste hyd these thynges from the wyse and prudente, and hast opened them to the babes. Euen so father for so pleased it the. ²² All thynges are geuen me of my father. And no man knoweth who the sonne is, but the father: neyther who the father is, saue the sonne, and he to whom the sonne wyll shewe hym.

¹⁸ knowen vnto God are all hys workes from the beginning of the worlde.

³⁰ And vnto him partaine ye in Christe Iesus, whiche of God is made to vs wysdome, and also rightuousnes, and sanctifiynge and redemption.

²⁵ that is to saye, to God oure sauyoure whiche onelye is wise be glorye maiestye, dominion and power, now and for euer. Amen.

⁹ For the eyes of the Lorde beholde all the earthe, to strength the hertes of them that are hole with him. Herin thou hast done folyshly, and therfore from henceforth thou shalt haue warre.

¹³ The Lorde loketh doune from heauen, & beholdeth all the chyldren of men: ¹⁴ from hys stronge seate he considreth all them that dwell in the worlde.

³ The eyes of the Lord loke on euery place, both vpon the good and badde.

¹⁰ For he hath ben dispysed a lytle season, shall reioyce, when he seyth the tynne weyght in Zorobabels hande. The .vij. eyes are the Lordes, whiche go thorowe the whole worlde.

⁶ And I behelde, and lo, in the middes of the seate, and of the .iiij. beastes, and in the myddes of the elders, stode a lambe as though he had bene kylled, whyche had .vij. hornes and .vij. eyes, which are the spirites of God, sente into all the worlde.

¹⁵ Beholde, yf he witholde the waters, they drye vp: Yf he let them go, they destroye the earth.

⁷ He bryngeth forth the cloudes from the endes of the worlde, he turneth the lyghtenynges vnto rayne, bryngynge the wyndes out of their treasuryes.

¹² Who hath holden the waters in hys fyst? Who hath measured heauen with his spanne, and hath comprehended all the earth of the worlde in thre fyngers? Who hath weyed the mountaynes and hylles?

²⁶ Beholde, so great is God, that he passeth oure knowledge, nether are we able to come to the experience of hys yeares.

³² In the turnynge of a hande he hydeth the lyght, & at hys commaundement it commeth agayne.

³ He gouerneth euery thing vnder the heauen, & his lyghte reacheth vnto the ende of the worlde.

¹¹ The cloudes do theyr laboure in geuyng moystnes, the cloudes poure doune theyr rayne.

²⁵ Who deuydeth the aboundaunce of waters into ryuers, or who maketh a waye for the stormye wether,

²⁷ to make the grasse growe in places where no body dwelleth, and in the wyldernes where no man remayneth?

³ It is the Lorde that commaunded the waters: It is the gloryus God that maketh the thonder: it is the Lorde that ruleth the sea. ⁴ The voyce of the Lorde is mighty in operacyon, the voice of the Lorde is a glorius voyce. ⁵ The voyce of the Lorde breaketh the Cedre trees: yea the Lorde breaketh the Ceders of Libanus. ⁶ He maketh them to skyppe lyke a calfe: Libanus and Sirion lyke a younge vnicorne ⁷ The voyce of the Lorde deuydeth the flames of fyre: ⁸ the voice of the Lorde shaketh the wylderuesse, yea the Lorde shaketh the wildernesse of Cades. ⁹ The voyce of the Lorde moueth the hyndes and discouereth the thicke bushes: in hys temple shall euerye man speake of hys honoure. ¹⁰ The Lord stilleth the water floud, and the Lord remaineth a king for euer.

⁸ Fyre and hayle, snow and vapors, wynde and storme, fulfillynge his worde.

²² Are there eny amonge the goddes of the Gentiles that sende rayne or geue the showers of heauen? Doest not thou it O Lorde oure God, in whom we trust? Yee Lorde, thou doest all these thinges.

⁷ When here were but thre monethes vnto the haruest I wythhelde the rayne from you: yea I rayned vpon one cytye, and not vpon another, one pece of grounde was moystured wyth rayne, and the grounde that I rayned not vpon was drye.

¹ Praye the Lord then by tymes to geue thou the latter rayne, so shall the Lorde make cloudes, & geue you raine ynough, for all the intreace of the felde:

¹ To the chaunter, a Psalm of Dauid. The very heauens declare the glory of God, and the very firmament sheweth his handy worcke.

²² The Lord hym self had me in possession in the begynning of hys wayes, or euer he beganne hys workes afore tyme. ²³ I haue bene ordeyned from euerlasting, & from the beginning or euer the earthe was made. ²⁴ When I was borne, there were nether depthes nor springs of water. ²⁵ Before the foundacions of the mountaynes were layed, yea, before al hylles was I borne. ²⁶ The earth & all that is vpon the earth was not yet made, no not the grounde it selfe. ²⁷ For when he made the heauens, I was present: when he sette vp the depthes in ordre: ²⁸ when he hanged the cloudes aboue: when he fastened the sprynges of the depe: ²⁹ When he shut the sea within certayn boundes, that the waters should not go ouer their markes. When he layed the foundacions of the earth

⁶ Kepe them therefore and do them for that is your wysdome and vnderstandyng in the syght of the nations, whych when they haue hearde all these ordinaunces, shall saye: O what a wyse and vnderstaudynge people is thys greate nation.

²⁹ The secrettes of the Lord oure God are opened vnto vs and our children for euer, that we do all the wordes of this lawe.

¹⁴ Let hym eschue euell, and do good: Lette hym seke peace and ensue it.

¹⁰ The feare of the Lorde is the beginning of wysdome, a good vnderstandyng haue al they that do therafter: the prayse of it endureth for euer.

⁷ The feare of the Lord is the begynnynge of wysdome. But fooles despise wysdome & destruccion.

⁷ Be not wyse in thyne own conceyte, but feare the Lord, & departe from euell:

⁴ It is you, O ye men (saieth she) whom I cal? Vnto you (O ye chyldren of men) lyft I vp my voyce. ⁵ Take hede vnto knowlege O ye ignoraunt, be wyse in hert O ye foles.

²⁶ The earth & all that is vpon the earth was not yet made, no not the grounde it selfe. ²⁷ For when he made the heauens, I was present: when he sette vp the depthes in ordre: ²⁸ when he hanged the cloudes aboue: when he fastened the sprynges of the depe: ²⁹ When he shut the sea within certayn boundes, that the waters should not go ouer their markes. When he layed the foundacions of the earth ³⁰ I was with hym, ordering all thinges, delytynge dayly, and reioysinge all waye before hym. ³¹ As for the rounde compase of his worlde, I make it ioyfull: for my delyte is to be among the chyldren of men. ³² Therfore herken vnto me, O ye chyldren, for blessed are they that kepe my wayes.

¹⁰ The feare of the Lorde is the beginning of wisdome, and the knowledge of holy thinges is vnderstandynge.

¹⁴ The law is a wel of life vnto the wise, that it may kepe him from the snares of death,

¹⁷ The path of the rightuous eschueth euel, & who so loketh wel to his waies, kepeth hys owne soule.

¹³ Let vs heare the conclusion of all thinges Feare God, and kepe his commaundementes, For that toucheth al men:

¹⁶ Washe you, make you cleane, put awaye youre euill thoughtes out of my sighte, cease from doynge of euyll and vyolence.

¹⁹ But the sure grounde of God remayneth, and hath thys seale: the Lord knoweth them that are his, & let euerye man that calleth on the name of Christe departe from iniquitie.

¹³ So can no fountayne geue both salte water & freshe also. If any man be wyse and endued wyth learnynge amonge you, let hym shewe the workes of hys good conuersacyon in mekenes that is coupled with wysdome. ¹⁴ But, yf ye haue bitter enuyinge and strife in youre hertes, reioyce not: neyther be lyars agaynste the trueth. ¹⁵ Thys wysedome descendeth not from aboue: but is earthye, & naturall, and deuelyshe: ¹⁶ For where enuiynge and stryfe is there is vnstablenes and all maner of euyll workes. ¹⁷ But the wysedome that is from aboue, is fyrste pure, then peasable, gentle, and easye to be entreated, full of mercye & good frutes, wythoute iudgynge, and wythout simulacyon:

¹¹ Let hym eschue euyll and do good, let him seke peace, and ensue it.
