Bishops Bible 1568
| 22:1 | A good name is more to be desired then great riches: and louing fauour is better then siluer and golde |
| 22:2 | The riche and poore meete together: the Lorde is the maker of them all |
| 22:3 | A wyse man seeth the plague, and hydeth hym selfe: but the foolishe go on still, and are punished |
| 22:4 | By humilitie and the feare of the Lorde, commeth riches, honour, and life |
| 22:5 | Thornes and snares are in the way of the frowarde: but he that doth kepe his soule, wyll flee farre from them |
| 22:6 | Teache a chylde what way he should go: for he shall not leaue it when he is olde |
| 22:7 | The ryche ruleth the poore, and the borower is seruaunt to the lender |
| 22:8 | He that soweth wickednes, shal reape wickednes: and the rodde of his anger shall fayle |
| 22:9 | He that hath a bountifull eye, shalbe blessed: for he geueth of his bread to the poore |
| 22:10 | Cast out the scorneful man, and so shal strife go out with hym: yea variaunce and sclaunder shall ceasse |
| 22:11 | Who so loueth cleannes of heart, for the grace of his lippes the kyng shalbe his frende |
| 22:12 | The eyes of the Lord preserue knowledge: and he ouerthroweth the wordes of the transgressours |
| 22:13 | The slouthfull body saith there is a Lion without: I might be slaine in the streate |
| 22:14 | The mouth of straunge women is a deepe pit: wherein he falleth that the Lorde is angrye withall |
| 22:15 | Foolishnes is bounde in the heart of the chylde: and the rodde of correction shall driue it away |
| 22:16 | Who so doth a poore man wrong, to increase his owne riches and geueth vnto the ryche, at the last commeth to pouertie hym selfe |
| 22:17 | Bowe downe thyne eare, and heare the wordes of the wise: applie thy mind vnto my doctrine |
| 22:18 | For it is a pleasaunt thing if thou kepe them in thyne heart, and order them in thy lippes |
| 22:19 | That thou mayest put thy trust in the Lorde, I haue shewed thee this day the thing that thou knowest |
| 22:20 | Haue not I warned thee very oft with counsayle and learning |
| 22:21 | That I might make thee knowe the trueth, that thou with the veritie mightest aunswere them that sende vnto thee |
| 22:22 | Rob not the poore, because he is poore: and oppresse not the simple in iudgement |
| 22:23 | For the Lorde him selfe wyll defende their cause, and do violence vnto them that haue vsed violence |
| 22:24 | Make no frendship with an angrye wylfull man, and walke not with the furious |
| 22:25 | Lest thou learne his wayes, and receaue hurt to thy soule |
| 22:26 | Be not thou one of them that binde their hande vpon promise, and are suretie for waightie causes |
| 22:27 | For if thou hast nothing to pay, they shall take away thy bed from vnder thee |
| 22:28 | Thou shalt not remoue the auncient lande marke, whiche thy fore elders haue set |
| 22:29 | Seest thou not that they which be diligent in their businesse stande before kinges, & not among the simple people |
Bishops Bible 1568
The Bishops' Bible was produced under the authority of the established Church of England in 1568. It was substantially revised in 1572, and the 1602 edition was prescribed as the base text for the King James Bible completed in 1611. The thorough Calvinism of the Geneva Bible offended the Church of England, to which almost all of its bishops subscribed. They associated Calvinism with Presbyterianism, which sought to replace government of the church by bishops with government by lay elders. However, they were aware that the Great Bible of 1539 , which was the only version then legally authorized for use in Anglican worship, was severely deficient, in that much of the Old Testament and Apocrypha was translated from the Latin Vulgate, rather than from the original Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek. In an attempt to replace the objectionable Geneva translation, they circulated one of their own, which became known as the Bishops' Bible.
