He created me from the beginning before the world, and I shall never fail.

In the holy tabernacle I served before him; and so was I established in Sion.

Likewise in the beloved city he gave me rest, and in Jerusalem was my power.

And I took root in an honourable people, even in the portion of the Lord’s inheritance.

I was exalted like a cedar in Libanus, and as a cypress tree upon the mountains of Hermon.

I was exalted like a palm tree in En-gaddi, and as a rose plant in Jericho, as a fair olive tree in a pleasant field, and grew up as a plane tree by the water.

I gave a sweet smell like cinnamon and aspalathus, and I yielded a pleasant odour like the best myrrh, as galbanum, and onyx, and sweet storax, and as the fume of frankincense in the tabernacle.

Come unto me, all ye that be desirous of me, and fill yourselves with my fruits.

For my memorial is sweeter than honey, and mine inheritance than the honeycomb.

They that eat me shall yet be hungry, and they that drink me shall yet be thirsty.

He that obeyeth me shall never be confounded, and they that work by me shall not do amiss.

Faint not to be strong in the Lord; that he may confirm you, cleave unto him: for the Lord Almighty is God alone, and beside him there is no other Saviour.

He filleth all things with his wisdom, as Phison and as Tigris in the time of the new fruits.

He maketh the understanding to abound like Euphrates, and as Jordan in the time of the harvest.

He maketh the doctrine of knowledge appear as the light, and as Geon in the time of vintage.

For her thoughts are more than the sea, and her counsels profounder than the great deep.

I also came out as a brook from a river, and as a conduit into a garden.

I said, I will water my best garden, and will water abundantly my garden bed: and, lo, my brook became a river, and my river became a sea.

I will yet make doctrine to shine as the morning, and will send forth her light afar off.

I will yet pour out doctrine as prophecy, and leave it to all ages for ever.

In three things I was beautified, and stood up beautiful both before God and men: the unity of brethren, the love of neighbours, a man and a wife that agree together.

Three sorts of men my soul hateth, and I am greatly offended at their life: a poor man that is proud, a rich man that is a liar, and an old adulterer that doateth.

O how comely a thing is judgment for gray hairs, and for ancient men to know counsel!

O how comely is the wisdom of old men, and understanding and counsel to men of honour.

O how comely is the wisdom of old men, and understanding and counsel to men of honour.

Much experience is the crown of old men, and the fear of God is their glory.

There be nine things which I have judged in mine heart to be happy, and the tenth I will utter with my tongue: A man that hath joy of his children; and he that liveth to see the fall of his enemy:

There be nine things which I have judged in mine heart to be happy, and the tenth I will utter with my tongue: A man that hath joy of his children; and he that liveth to see the fall of his enemy:

Well is him that dwelleth with a wife of understanding, and that hath not slipped with his tongue, and that hath not served a man more unworthy than himself:

Well is him that dwelleth with a wife of understanding, and that hath not slipped with his tongue, and that hath not served a man more unworthy than himself:

[Give me] any plague, but the plague of the heart: and any wickedness, but the wickedness of a woman:

And any affliction, but the affliction from them that hate me: and any revenge, but the revenge of enemies.

And any affliction, but the affliction from them that hate me: and any revenge, but the revenge of enemies.

There is no head above the head of a serpent; and there is no wrath above the wrath of an enemy.

I had rather dwell with a lion and a dragon, than to keep house with a wicked woman.

The wickedness of a woman changeth her face, and darkeneth her countenance like sackcloth.

Her husband shall sit among his neighbours; and when he heareth it shall sigh bitterly.

Stumble not at the beauty of a woman, and desire her not for pleasure.

A woman, if she maintain her husband, is full of anger, impudence, and much reproach.

A wicked woman abateth the courage, maketh an heavy countenance and a wounded heart: a woman that will not comfort her husband in distress maketh weak hands and feeble knees.

A wicked woman abateth the courage, maketh an heavy countenance and a wounded heart: a woman that will not comfort her husband in distress maketh weak hands and feeble knees.

Of the woman came the beginning of sin, and through her we all die.

If she go not as thou wouldest have her, cut her off from thy flesh, and give her a bill of divorce, and let her go.

But a grief of heart and sorrow is a woman that is jealous over another woman, and a scourge of the tongue which communicateth with all.

But a grief of heart and sorrow is a woman that is jealous over another woman, and a scourge of the tongue which communicateth with all.

An evil wife is a yoke shaken to and fro: he that hath hold of her is as though he held a scorpion.

A drunken woman and a gadder abroad causeth great anger, and she will not cover her own shame.

A drunken woman and a gadder abroad causeth great anger, and she will not cover her own shame.

The whoredom of a woman may be known in her haughty looks and eyelids.

Watch over an impudent eye: and marvel not if she trespass against thee.

She will open her mouth, as a thirsty traveller when he hath found a fountain, and drink of every water near her: by every hedge will she sit down, and open her quiver against every arrow.

The grace of a wife delighteth her husband, and her discretion will fatten his bones.

A silent and loving woman is a gift of the Lord; and there is nothing so much worth as a mind well instructed.

A shamefaced and faithful woman is a double grace, and her continent mind cannot be valued.

My son, keep the flower of thine age sound; and give not thy strength to strangers.

A loud crying woman and a scold shall be sought out to drive away the enemies.

There be two things that grieve my heart; and the third maketh me angry: a man of war that suffereth poverty; and men of understanding that are not set by; and one that returneth from righteousness to sin; the Lord prepareth such an one for the sword.

A merchant shall hardly keep himself from doing wrong; and an huckster shall not be freed from sin.

Many have sinned for a small matter; and he that seeketh for abundance will turn his eyes away.

As a nail sticketh fast between the joinings of the stones; so doth sin stick close between buying and selling.

If thou followest righteousness, thou shalt obtain her, and put her on, as a glorious long robe.

The discourse of fools is irksome, and their sport is the wantonness of sin.

The talk of him that sweareth much maketh the hair stand upright; and their brawls make one stop his ears.

The strife of the proud is bloodshedding, and their revilings are grievous to the ear.

Whoso discovereth secrets loseth his credit; and shall never find friend to his mind.

Love thy friend, and be faithful unto him: but if thou betrayest his secrets, follow no more after him.

As one that letteth a bird go out of his hand, so hast thou let thy neighbour go, and shalt not get him again

As for a wound, it may be bound up; and after reviling there may be reconcilement: but he that betrayeth secrets is without hope.

He that winketh with the eyes worketh evil: and he that knoweth him will depart from him.
