Y thouyte for to bilde an hows, wherynne the arke of boond of pees of the Lord, and the stool of the feet of oure God schulde reste; and Y made redi alle thingis to bilde.

⁵ But also of my sones, for the Lord yaf to me many sones, he chees Salomon, my sone, that he schulde sitte in the troone of the rewme of the Lord on Israel. ⁶ And he seide to me, Salomon, thi sone, schal bilde myn hows, and myn auters; for Y haue chose hym to me in to a sone, and Y schal be to hym in to a fadir; ⁷ and Y schal make stidefast his rewme til in to with outen ende, if he schal contynue to do myn heestis and domes, as and to dai.

¹ And kyng Dauid spak to al the chirche, God hath chose Salomon, my sone, yit a child and tendre; forsothe the werk is greet, and a dwellyng is not maad redi to man but to God.

¹⁷ My God, Y woot, that thou preuest hertis, and louest symplenesse of herte; wherfor and Y, in the symplenesse of myn herte, haue offrid gladli alle these thingis; and Y siy with greet ioye thi puple, which is foundun here, offre yiftis to thee. ¹⁸ Lord God of Abraham, and of Ysaac, and of Israel, oure fadris, kepe thou with outen ende this wille of her hertis; and this mynde dwelle euere in to the worschipyng of thee.

²¹ And thei offriden slayn sacrifices to the Lord, and thei offriden brent sacrifices in the dai suynge; a thousynde boolis, and a thousynde rammes, and a thousynde lambren, with her fletynge sacrifices, and al the custom, most plenteuously, in to al Israel.

²³ And Salomon sat on the trone of the Lord in to kyng, for Dauid, his fadir; and it pleside alle men, and al Israel obeiede to hym.

²⁵ Therfor the Lord magnefiede Salomon on al Israel, and yaue to hym glorie of the rewme, what maner glorie no kyng of Israel hadde bifor hym.

³ and he yede with al the multitude in to the hiy place of Gabaon, where the tabernacle of boond of pees of the Lord was, which tabernacle Moyses, the seruaunt of the Lord, made in wildirnesse.

¹² wisdom and kunnyng ben youun to thee; forsothe Y schal yyue to thee richessis, and catel, and glorie, so that noon among kyngis, nether bifor thee nethir aftir thee, be lijk thee.

²² Therfor kyng Salomon was magnyfied ouer alle kyngis of erthe for richessis and glorie.

²⁵ Also Salomon hadde fourti thousynde of horsis in stablis, and twelue thousynde of charis and of knyytis; and `he ordeynede hem in the citees of charis, and where the kyng was in Jerusalem.

²⁷ And he yaf so greet plente of siluer in Jerusalem, as of stoonys, and so greet multitude of cedris, as of sycomoris that growen in feeldi places. ²⁸ Forsothe horsis weren brouyt fro Egipt, and fro alle cuntreis.

²⁰ And Ezechie, the kyng, roos in the morwetid, and gaderide togidere alle the princes of the citee, and stiede in to the hows of the Lord;

² Therfor whanne counseil was takun of the kyng, and of princes, and of al the cumpeny of Jerusalem, thei demyden to make paske in the secounde moneth.

²⁹ And aftir that he hadde clepid togidere alle the eldere men of Juda and of Jerusalem, ³⁰ he stiede in to the hows of the Lord, and togidere alle the men of Juda, `and the dwelleris of Jerusalem, preestis, and dekenes, and al the puple, fro the leeste `til to the moste; to whiche herynge in the hows of the Lord, the kyng redde alle the wordis of the book.

²⁴ He schal yyue a flynt for erthe, and goldun strondis for a flynt. ²⁵ And Almyyti God schal be ayens thin enemyes; and siluer schal be gaderid togidere to thee.

² that thin eere here wisdom, bowe thin herte to knowe prudence. ³ For if thou inwardli clepist wisdom, and bowist thin herte to prudence; ⁴ if thou sekist it as money, and diggist it out as tresours; ⁵ thanne thou schalt vndirstonde the drede of the Lord, and schalt fynde the kunnyng of God. ⁶ For the Lord yyueth wisdom; and prudence and kunnyng is of his mouth.

⁵ Haue thou trist in the Lord, of al thin herte; and triste thou not to thi prudence. ⁶ In alle thi weies thenke thou on hym, and he schal dresse thi goyngis.

¹³ Blessid is the man that fyndith wisdom, and which flowith with prudence. ¹⁴ The geting therof is betere than the marchaundie of gold and of siluer; the fruytis therof ben the firste and clenneste. ¹⁵ It is preciousere than alle richessis; and alle thingis that ben desirid, moun not be comparisound to this. ¹⁶ Lengthe of daies is in the riythalf therof, and richessis and glorie ben in the lifthalf therof. ¹⁷ The weies therof ben feire weies, and alle the pathis therof ben pesible. ¹⁸ It is a tre of lijf to hem that taken it; and he that holdith it, is blessid.

⁷ The bigynnyng of wisdom, welde thou wisdom; and in al thi possessioun gete thou prudence.

⁸ The wisdom of a fel man is to vndirstonde his weie; and the vnwarnesse of foolis errith.

⁷ for at the licnesse of a fals dyuynour and of a coniectere, he gessith that, that he knowith not. He schal seie to thee, Ete thou and drinke; and his soule is not with thee.

⁹ and Y passide in richessis alle men, that weren bifor me in Jerusalem. Also wisdom dwellide stabli with me,

¹⁰ Tijl stoonys fellen doun, but we schulen bilde with square stoonys; thei han kit doun sicomoris, but we schulen chaunge cedris.

¹⁶ ylis ben as a litil dust, and the Liban schal not suffice to brenne his sacrifice, and the beestis therof schulen not suffice to brent sacrifice.

³ Bowe ye youre eere, and `come ye to me; here ye, and youre soule schal lyue; and Y schal smyte with you a couenaunt euerlastynge, the feithful mercies of Dauid.

¹⁷ For bras Y schal brynge gold, and for irun Y schal brynge siluer; and bras for trees, and yrun for stoonys; and Y schal sette thi visitacioun pees, and thi prelatis riytfulnesse.

¹⁴ And Amos answeride, and seide to Amasie, Y am not a profete, and Y am not sone of profete; but an herde of neet Y am, drawyng vp sicomoris.

³³ Therfor seke ye first the kyngdom of God, and his riytfulnesse, and alle these thingis shulen be cast to you.

⁷ Axe ye, and it schal be youun to you; seke ye, and ye schulen fynde; knocke ye, and it schal be openyd to you. ⁸ For ech that axith, takith; and he that sekith, fyndith; and it schal be openyd to hym, that knockith.

²⁰ techynge hem to kepe alle thingis, what euer thingis Y haue comaundid to you; and lo! Y am with you in alle daies, in to the ende of the world.

³⁶ And he seide to hem, What wolen ye that Y do to you? ³⁷ And thei seiden, Graunte to vs, that we sitten `the toon at thi riythalf, and the tother at thi left half, in thi glorie.

⁵¹ And Jhesus answeride, and seide to hym, What wolt thou, that Y schal do to thee? The blynde man seide to hym, Maister, that Y se.

²³ And in that day ye schulen not axe me ony thing; treuli, treuli, `Y seie to you, if ye axen the fadir ony thing in my name, he schal yyue to you.

⁴ Whethir it vnseld was not thin; and whanne it was seld, it was in thi power? Whi hast thou put this thing in thin herte? Thou hast not lied to men, but to God.

¹⁶ To othere sotheli odour of deth in to deth, but to othere we ben odour of lijf in to lijf. And to these thingis who is so able?

⁵ not that we ben sufficient to thenke ony thing of vs, as of vs, but oure sufficience is of God.

²⁰ And to hym that is myyti to do alle thingis more plenteuousli than we axen or vndurstondun, bi the vertu that worchith in vs,

⁹ For which thing God enhaunside hym, and yaf to hym a name that is aboue al name; ¹⁰ that in the name of Jhesu ech kne be bowid, of heuenli thingis, of ertheli thingis, and of hellis; ¹¹ and ech tunge knouleche, that the Lord Jhesu Crist is in the glorie of God the fadir.

¹² and spedi in worching, and more able to perse than any tweyne eggid swerd, and stretchith forth to the departynge of the soule and of the spirit, and of the ioynturis and merewis, and demere of thouytis, and of intentis and hertis.

⁵ And if ony of you nedith wisdom, axe he of God, which yyueth to alle men largeli, and vpbreidith not; and it schal be youun to hym.

¹³ Who is wijs, and tauyt among you? schewe he of good lyuyng his worching, in myldenesse of his wisdom.

¹⁷ But wisdom that is from aboue, first it is chast, aftirward pesible, mylde, able to be counseilid, consentinge to goode thingis, ful of merci and of goode fruytis, demynge with out feynyng.

¹⁴ And this is the trist which we han to God, that what euer thing we axen aftir his wille, he schal here vs. ¹⁵ And we witen, that he herith vs, what euer thing we axen; we witen, that we han the axyngis, which we axen of hym.
