- 1 Sue thou not yuele men, desire thou not to be with hem.
- 2 For the soule of hem bithenkith raueyns, and her lippis speken fraudis.
- 3 An hous schal be bildid bi wisdom, and schal be maad strong bi prudence.
- 4 Celeris schulen be fillid in teching, al riches preciouse and ful fair.
- 5 A wijs man is strong, and a lerned man is stalworth and miyti.
- 6 For whi batel is bigunnun with ordenaunce, and helthe schal be, where many counsels ben.
- 7 Wisdom is hiy to a fool; in the yate he schal not opene his mouth.
- 8 He that thenkith to do yuels, schal be clepid a fool.
- 9 The thouyte of a fool is synne; and a bacbitere is abhomynacioun of men.
- 10 If thou that hast slide, dispeirist in the dai of angwisch, thi strengthe schal be maad lesse.
- 11 Delyuere thou hem, that ben led to deth; and ceesse thou not to delyuere hem, that ben drawun to deth.
- 12 If thou seist, Strengthis suffisen not; he that is biholdere of the herte, vndirstondith, and no thing disseyueth the kepere of thi soule, and he schal yelde to a man bi hise werkis.
- 13 Mi sone, ete thou hony, for it is good; and an honycomb ful swete to thi throte.
- 14 `So and the techyng of wisdom is good to thi soule; and whanne thou hast founde it, thou schalt haue hope in the laste thingis, and thin hope schal not perische.
- 15 Aspie thou not, and seke not wickidnesse in the hous of a iust man, nether waste thou his reste.
- 16 For a iust man schal falle seuene sithis in the dai, and schal rise ayen; but wickid men schulen falle in to yuele.
- 17 Whanne thin enemye fallith, haue thou not ioye; and thin herte haue not ful out ioiyng in his fal;
- 18 lest perauenture the Lord se, and it displese hym, and he take awei his ire fro hym.
- 19 Stryue thou not with `the worste men, nether sue thou wickid men.
- 20 For whi yuele men han not hope of thingis to comynge, and the lanterne of wickid men schal be quenchid.
- 21 My sone, drede thou God, and the kyng; and be thou not medlid with bacbiteris.
- 22 For her perdicioun schal rise togidere sudenli, and who knowith the fal of euer either?
- 23 Also these thingis that suen ben to wise men. It is not good to knowe a persoone in doom.
- 24 Puplis schulen curse hem, that seien to a wickid man, Thou art iust; and lynagis schulen holde hem abhomynable.
- 25 Thei that repreuen iustli synners, schulen be preisid; and blessing schal come on hem.
- 26 He that answerith riytful wordis, schal kisse lippis.
- 27 Make redi thi werk with outforth, and worche thi feelde dilygentli, that thou bilde thin hous aftirward.
- 28 Be thou not a witnesse with out resonable cause ayens thi neiybore; nether flatere thou ony man with thi lippis.
- 29 Seie thou not, As he dide to me, so Y schal do to him, and Y schal yelde to ech man aftir his werk.
- 30 I passide bi the feeld of a slow man, and bi the vyner of a fonned man; and, lo!
- 31 nettlis hadden fillid al, thornes hadden hilid the hiyere part therof, and the wal of stoonys with out morter was distried.
- 32 And whanne Y hadde seyn this thing, Y settide in myn herte, and bi ensaumple Y lernyde techyng.
- 33 Hou longe slepist thou, slow man? whanne schalt thou ryse fro sleep? Sotheli thou schalt slepe a litil, thou schalt nappe a litil, thou schalt ioyne togidere the hondis a litil, to take reste;
- 34 and thi nedynesse as a currour schal come to thee, and thi beggerie as an armed man.

How This All Works
Your persistent session key, together with your favourite verse, authenticates you. It links to all your notes and tags in the Bible. You can share it with loved ones so they can see your notes and tags.
However, to modify your notes and tags, you need both the persistent session key and your favourite verse.
Please Keep Your Favourite Verse Private
Your persistent session key and favourite verse provide you exclusive access to edit your notes and tags. Think of your persistent session key as a username and your favourite verse as a password. Therefore, ensure your favourite verse is kept private.
The persistent session key allows viewing, while editing is only possible when the correct favourite verse is provided.

John Wycliffe Bible (c.1395) (wycliffe - 2.4.1)
2020-08-01English (enm)
The Holy Bible, containing the Old and New Testaments, with the Apocryphal books, in the earliest English versions made from the Latin Vulgate by John Wycliffe and his followers, c.1395
Source text https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Bible_(Wycliffe)
John Wycliffe organized the first complete translation of the Bible into Middle English in the 1380s.
The translation from the Vulgate was a collaborative effort, and it is not clear which portions are actually Wycliffe's work.
Church authorities officially condemned the translators of the Bible into vernacular languages and called these heretics Lollards.
Despite their prohibition, revised versions of Wycliffite Bibles remained in use for about 100 years.
Wikisource attributes its source as the Wesley Center Online.
That in turn was derived from the Fedosov transcription on the Slavic Bibles site http://www.sbible.ru
The source text makes no use of archaic letters that were part of Middle English orthography.
The Latin letter Yogh [ȝ] was evidently replaced by the letter [y] in the Fedosov transcription.
The text is available under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.
Verse numbers were not used in either the earlier or later version of the Wycliffe Bible in the fourteenth century. Each chapter consisted of one unbroken block of text. There were not even any paragraphs. Hence whatever verse numbers we now have in modern editions have been added retrospectively by comparison with other English Bibles and the Latin Vulgate.
Two books found in the Vulgate, II Esdras and Psalm 151, were never part of the Wycliffe Bible.
Module build notes:
1. The Prayer of Manasseh has been separated from 2 Chronicles in order to avoid a critical versification issue.
cf. In Wikisource it was assigned as 2 Paralipomenon chapter 37.
2. The Letter of Jeremiah has been joined to Baruch as chapter 6 thereof.
3. The book order of Wycliffe's Bible differs from that of the Vulg versification used in this module.
4. There are now 313 notes in the Wikisource document.
5. The Wikisource text substantially matches that of the nine books in module version 1.0
6. Each of these five verses not in the Vulg versification was appended to the previous verse: Deut.27.27 Esth.5.15 Ps.38.15 Ps.147.10 Luke.10.43
7. There are also several verses without any text. Use Sword utility emptyvss to list these.- Encoding: UTF-8

Basic Hash Usage Explained
At getBible, we've established a robust system to keep our API synchronized with the Crosswire project's modules. Let me explain how this integration works in simple terms.
We source our Bible text directly from the Crosswire modules. To monitor any updates, we generate "hash values" for each chapter, book, and translation. These hash values serve as unique identifiers that change only when the underlying content changes, thereby ensuring a tight integration between getBible and the Crosswire modules.
Every month, an automated process runs for approximately three hours. During this window, we fetch the latest Bible text from the Crosswire modules. Subsequently, we compare the new hash values and the text with the previous ones. Any detected changes trigger updates to both our official getBible hash repository and the Bible API for all affected translations. This system has been operating seamlessly for several years.
Once the updates are complete, any application utilizing our Bible API should monitor the hash values at the chapter, book, or translation level. Spotting a change in these values indicates that they should update their respective systems.
Hash values can change due to various reasons, including textual corrections like adding omitted verses, rectifying spelling errors, or addressing any discrepancies flagged by the publishers maintaining the modules at Crosswire.
The Crosswire initiative, also known as the SWORD Project, is the "source of truth" for getBible. Any modifications in the Crosswire modules get reflected in our API within days, ensuring our users access the most precise and current Bible text. We pledge to uphold this standard as long as getBible exists and our build scripts remain operational.
We're united in our mission to preserve the integrity and authenticity of the Bible text. If you have questions or require additional information, please use our support system. We're here to assist and will respond promptly.
Thank you for your understanding and for being an integral part of the getBible community.
