10 Who schal fynde a stronge womman? the prijs of her is fer, and fro the laste endis.
11 The herte of hir hosebond tristith in hir; and sche schal not haue nede to spuylis.
12 Sche schal yelde to hym good, and not yuel, in alle the daies of hir lijf.
7 Also men dwelle togidre, and bi kunnyng yyue ye onoure to the wommanus freeltee, as to the more feble, and as to euen eiris of grace and of lijf, that youre preieris be not lettid.
24 Sche made lynnun cloth, and selde; and yaf a girdil to a Chananei.
25 Strengthe and fairnesse is the clothing of hir; and sche schal leiye in the laste dai.
26 Sche openyde hir mouth to wisdom; and the lawe of merci is in hir tunge.
27 Sche bihelde the pathis of hir hous; and sche eet not breed idili.
13 Sche souyte wolle and flex; and wrouyte bi the counsel of hir hondis.
14 Sche is maad as the schip of a marchaunt, that berith his breed fro fer.
15 And sche roos bi nyyt, and yaf prey to hir meyneals, and metis to hir handmaidis.
16 Sche bihelde a feeld, and bouyte it; of the fruyt of hir hondis sche plauntide a vyner.
17 Sche girde hir leendis with strengthe, and made strong hir arm.
18 Sche taastide, and siy, that hir marchaundie was good; hir lanterne schal not be quenchid in the niyt.
19 Sche putte hir hondis to stronge thingis, and hir fyngris token the spyndil.
20 Sche openyde hir hond to a nedi man, and stretchide forth hir hondis to a pore man.
11 Also it bihoueth wymmen to be chast, not bacbitinge, sobre, feithful in alle thingis.
1 Also wymmen be thei suget to her hosebondis; that if ony man bileue not to the word, bi the conuersacioun of wymmen thei be wonnun with out word.
2 And biholde ye in drede youre hooli conuersacioun.
3 Of whiche ther be not with outforth curious ournyng of heer, ether doyng aboute of gold, ethir ournyng of clothing;
4 but thilke that is the hid man of herte, in vncorrupcioun, and of mylde spirit, which is riche in the siyt of God.
5 For so sumtyme hooli wymmen hopinge in God ourneden hem silf, and weren suget to her owne hosebondis.
6 As Sara obeied to Abraham, and clepide hym lord; of whom ye ben douytris wel doynge, and not dredynge ony perturbacioun.
22 Wymmen, be thei suget to her hosebondis,
23 as to the Lord, for the man is heed of the wymman, as Crist is heed of the chirche; he is sauyour of his bodi.
24 But as the chirche is suget to Crist, so wymmen to her hosebondis in alle thingis.
1 A wijs womman bildith hir hous; and an unwijs womman schal distrie with hondis an hous bildid.
9 Also wymmen in couenable abite, with schamefastnesse and sobrenesse araiynge hem silf, not in writhun heeris, ethir in gold, ethir peerlis, ethir preciouse cloth; but that that bicometh wymmen,
8 My sone, here thou the teching of thi fadir, and forsake thou not the lawe of thi modir;
11 Netheles nether the man is with outen womman, nether the womman is with oute man, in the Lord.
12 Forwhi as the womman is of man, so the man is bi the womman; but alle thingis ben of God.
3 also olde wymmen in hooli abite, not sclaundereris, not seruynge myche to wyn, wel techynge, that thei teche prudence.
4 Moneste thou yonge wymmen, that thei loue here hosebondis, that thei loue her children;
5 and that thei be prudent, chast, sobre, hauynge cure of the hous, benygne, suget to her hosebondis, that the word of God be not blasfemyd.
18 And the Lord God seide, It is not good that a man be aloone, make we to hym an help lijk to hym silf.
16 Also God seide to the womman, Y schal multiplie thi wretchidnessis and thi conseyuyngis; in sorewe thou schalt bere thi children; and thou schalt be vndur power of the hosebonde, and he schal be lord of thee.
27 And God made of nouyt a man to his ymage and liknesse; God made of nouyt a man, to the ymage of God; God made of nouyt hem, male and female.
28 And God blesside hem, and seide, Encreesse ye, and be ye multiplied, and fille ye the erthe, and make ye it suget, and be ye lordis to fischis of the see, and to volatilis of heuene, and to alle lyuynge beestis that ben moued on erthe.
