CHAP. XLII.
1 Whereof we should not be ashamed. 9 Be carefull of thy daughter. 12 Beware of a woman. 15 The workes and greatnes of God.
1Of these things be not thou ashamed, and accept no person to sinne thereby.
2Of the Law of the most High, and his Couenant, and of iudgement to iustifie the vngodly:
3Of reckoning with thy partners, and traueilers: or of the gift of the heritage of friends:3
4Of exactnesse of ballance, and waights: or of getting much or little:
5And of merchants indifferent selling, of much correction of children, and to make the side of an euill seruant to bleed.5
6Sure keeping is good where an euill wife is, and shut vp where many hands are.
7Deliuer all things in number and waight, and put al in writing that thou giuest out, or receiuest in.7
8Be not ashamed to informe the vnwise and foolish, and the extreeme aged that contendeth with those that are yong, thus shalt thou bee truely learned and approued of all men liuing.8
12Behold not euery bodies beauty, and sit not in the midst of women.12
13For from garments commeth a moth, and from women wickednesse.13
14Better is the churlishnesse of a man, then a courteous woman, a woman I say, which bringeth shame and reproch.14
18He seeketh out the deepe and the heart, and considereth their crafty deuices: for the Lord knoweth all that may be knowen, and he beholdeth the signes of the world.18
19Hee declareth the things that are past, and for to come, and reueileth the steps of hidden things.
20No thought escapeth him, neither any word is hidden from him.20
22O how desireable are all his workes: and that a man may see euen to a sparke.
23All these things liue and remaine for euer, for all vses, and they are all obedient.
24All things are double one against another: and hee hath made nothing vnperfit.
25One thing establisheth the good of another: and who shalbe filled with beholding his glory?
