Only there appeared unto them a fire kindled of itself, very dreadful: for being much terrified, they thought the things which they saw to be worse than the sight they saw not.

For they, that promised to drive away terrors and troubles from a sick soul, were sick themselves of fear, worthy to be laughed at.

For they, that promised to drive away terrors and troubles from a sick soul, were sick themselves of fear, worthy to be laughed at.

Or a terrible sound of stones cast down, or a running that could not be seen of skipping beasts, or a roaring voice of most savage wild beasts, or a rebounding echo from the hollow mountains; these things made them to swoon for fear.

Instead whereof thou gavest them a burning pillar of fire, both to be a guide of the unknown journey, and an harmless sun to entertain them honourably.

And when they had determined to slay the babes of the saints, one child being cast forth, and saved, to reprove them, thou tookest away the multitude of their children, and destroyedst them altogether in a mighty water.

So they all together had innumerable dead with one kind of death; neither were the living sufficient to bury them: for in one moment the noblest offspring of them was destroyed.

For then the blameless man made haste, and stood forth to defend them; and bringing the shield of his proper ministry, even prayer, and the propitiation of incense, set himself against the wrath, and so brought the calamity to an end, declaring that he was thy servant.

For when the dead were now fallen down by heaps one upon another, standing between, he stayed the wrath, and parted the way to the living.

How that having given them leave to depart, and sent them hastily away, they would repent and pursue them.

For whilst they were yet mourning and making lamentation at the graves of the dead, they added another foolish device, and pursued them as fugitives, whom they had intreated to be gone.

For the destiny, whereof they were worthy, drew them unto this end, and made them forget the things that had already happened, that they might fulfil the punishment which was wanting to their torments:

And punishments came upon the sinners not without former signs by the force of thunders: for they suffered justly according to their own wickedness, insomuch as they used a more hard and hateful behaviour toward strangers.

To whom hath the root of wisdom been revealed? or who hath known her wise counsels?

There is one wise and greatly to be feared, the Lord sitting upon his throne.

She is with all flesh according to his gift, and he hath given her to them that love him.

To fear the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and it was created with the faithful in the womb.

To fear the Lord is fulness of wisdom, and filleth men with her fruits.

Wisdom raineth down skill and knowledge of understanding standing, and exalteth them to honour that hold her fast.

The root of wisdom is to fear the Lord, and the branches thereof are long life.

The parables of knowledge are in the treasures of wisdom: but godliness is an abomination to a sinner.

Exalt not thyself, lest thou fall, and bring dishonour upon thy soul, and so God discover thy secrets, and cast thee down in the midst of the congregation, because thou camest not in truth to the fear of the Lord, but thy heart is full of deceit.

My son, if thou come to serve the Lord, prepare thy soul for temptation.

Whatsoever is brought upon thee take cheerfully, and be patient when thou art changed to a low estate.

Woe be to fearful hearts, and faint hands, and the sinner that goeth two ways!

He that honoureth his father shall have a long life; and he that is obedient unto the Lord shall be a comfort to his mother.

He that feareth the Lord will honour his father, and will do service unto his parents, as to his masters.

For the glory of a man is from the honour of his father; and a mother in dishonour is a reproach to the children.

For the relieving of thy father shall not be forgotten: and instead of sins it shall be added to build thee up.

But what is commanded thee, think thereupon with reverence, for it is not needful for thee to see with thine eyes the things that are in secret.

My son, defraud not the poor of his living, and make not the needy eyes to wait long.

Add not more trouble to an heart that is vexed; and defer not to give to him that is in need.

Add not more trouble to an heart that is vexed; and defer not to give to him that is in need.

Turn not away thine eye from the needy, and give him none occasion to curse thee:

Let it not grieve thee to bow down thine ear to the poor, and give him a friendly answer with meekness.

Let it not grieve thee to bow down thine ear to the poor, and give him a friendly answer with meekness.

He that loveth her loveth life; and they that seek to her early shall be filled with joy.

They that serve her shall minister to the Holy One: and them that love her the Lord doth love.

But if he go wrong, she will forsake him, and give him over to his own ruin.

Accept no person against thy soul, and let not the reverence of any man cause thee to fall.

And refrain not to speak, when there is occasion to do good, and hide not thy wisdom in her beauty.

And refrain not to speak, when there is occasion to do good, and hide not thy wisdom in her beauty.

Be not ashamed to confess thy sins; and force not the course of the river.

Make not thyself an underling to a foolish man; neither accept the person of the mighty.

Let not thine hand be stretched out to receive, and shut when thou shouldest repay.

Follow not thine own mind and thy strength, to walk in the ways of thy heart:

Concerning propitiation, be not without fear to add sin unto sin:

Make no tarrying to turn to the Lord, and put not off from day to day: for suddenly shall the wrath of the Lord come forth, and in thy security thou shalt be destroyed, and perish in the day of vengeance.

Be swift to hear; and let thy life be sincere; and with patience give answer.

A wicked soul shall destroy him that hath it, and shall make him to be laughed to scorn of his enemies.

A wicked soul shall destroy him that hath it, and shall make him to be laughed to scorn of his enemies.

If thou wouldest get a friend, prove him first and be not hasty to credit him.

And there is a friend, who being turned to enmity, and strife will discover thy reproach.

She is very unpleasant to the unlearned: he that is without understanding will not remain with her.

For wisdom is according to her name, and she is not manifest unto many.

For at the last thou shalt find her rest, and that shall be turned to thy joy.

If thou love to hear, thou shalt receive understanding: and if thou bow thine ear, thou shalt be wise,

Be willing to hear every godly discourse; and let not the parables of understanding escape thee.

Seek not to be judge, being not able to take away iniquity; lest at any time thou fear the person of the mighty, an stumblingblock in the way of thy uprightness.

Say not, God will look upon the multitude of my oblations, and when I offer to the most high God, he will accept it.

Be not fainthearted when thou makest thy prayer, and neglect not to give alms.

Laugh no man to scorn in the bitterness of his soul: for there is one which humbleth and exalteth.

Devise not a lie against thy brother; neither do the like to thy friend.

Hast thou cattle? have an eye to them: and if they be for thy profit, keep them with thee.

Marry thy daughter, and so shalt thou have performed a weighty matter: but give her to a man of understanding.

Fail not to be with them that weep, and mourn with them that mourn.

Be not slow to visit the sick: for that shall make thee to be beloved.

Despise not the discourse of the wise, but acquaint thyself with their proverbs: for of them thou shalt learn instruction, and how to serve great men with ease.

Miss not the discourse of the elders: for they also learned of their fathers, and of them thou shalt learn understanding, and to give answer as need requireth.

Rise not up [in anger] at the presence of an injurious person, lest he lie in wait to entrap thee in thy words

Be not surety above thy power: for if thou be surety, take care to pay it.

Go not to law with a judge; for they will judge for him according to his honour.

Give not thy soul unto a woman to set her foot upon thy substance.

Forsake not an old friend; for the new is not comparable to him: a new friend is as new wine; when it is old, thou shalt drink it with pleasure.

Keep thee far from the man that hath power to kill; so shalt thou not doubt the fear of death: and if thou come unto him, make no fault, lest he take away thy life presently: remember that thou goest in the midst of snares, and that thou walkest upon the battlements of the city.
