CHAP. XV.

2 Wisedome embraceth those that feare God. 7 The wicked shall not get her. 11 We may not charge God with our faults: 14 For he made, and left vs to our selues.

¹He that feareth the Lord will doe good, and he that hath the knowledge of the Law shal obtaine her.

²And as a mother shall she meet him, and receiue him as a wife maried of a virgin.

³With the bread of vnderstanding shall she feed him, and giue him the water of wisedome to drinke.

⁴Hee shall be stayed vpon her, and shall not be moued, and shall rely vpon her, and shall not be confounded.

⁵Shee shall exalt him aboue his neighbours, and in the midst of the congregation shall she open his mouth.

⁶He shall finde ioy, and a crowne of gladnesse, and she shall cause him to inherit an euerlasting name.

⁷But foolish men shall not attaine vnto her, and sinners shall not see her.
