CHAP. III.
3 Children must honour, and helpe both their parents. 21 We may not desire to knowe all things 26 The incorrigible must needes perish. 30 Almes are rewarded.
1 Heare mee your father, O children, and doe thereafter, that ye may be safe.
2 For the Lord hath giuen the father honour ouer the children, and hath confirmed the authoritie of the mother ouer the sonnes.2
3 Who so honoureth his father, maketh an atonement for his sinnes.
4 And he that honoureth his mother, is as one that layeth vp treasure.
8 Honour thy father and mother, both in word and deed, that a blessing may come vpon thee from them.8
9 For the blessing of the father establisheth the houses of children, but the curse of the mother rooteth out foundations.9
10 Glory not in the dishonour of thy father, for thy fathers dishonour is no glory vnto thee.
12 My sonne, helpe thy father in his age, and grieue him not as long as hee liueth.
13 And if his vnderstanding faile, haue patience with him, and despise him not, when thou art in thy ful strength.13
16 He that forsaketh his father, is as a blasphemer, and he that angreth his mother, is cursed of God.
17 My sonne, goe on with thy businesse in meekenesse, so shalt thou be beloued of him that is approued.
18 The greater thou art, the more humble thy selfe, and thou shalt find fauour before the Lord.18
19 Many are in high place and of renowne: but mysteries are reueiled vnto the meeke.19
20 For the power of the Lord is great, and hee is honoured of the lowly.
21 Seeke not out the things that are too hard for thee, neither search the things that are aboue thy strength.21
23 Be not curious in vnnecessarie matters: for moe things are shewed vnto thee, then men vnderstand.
25 Without eyes thou shalt want light: professe not the knowledge therfore that thou hast not.
26 A stubborne heart shall fare euill at the last, and he that loueth danger shall perish therein.
27 An obstinate heart shall be laden with sorrowes, and the wicked man shall heape sinne vpon sinne.
28 In the punishment of the proud there is no remedie: for the plant of wickednesse hath taken roote in him.28
30 Water will quench a flaming fire, and almes maketh an attonement for sinnes.30
