Matthew's Bible 1537
| 28:1 | The vngodly flyeth no man chasyng him, but the rightuous standeth styf as lyon. |
| 28:2 | Because of synne the lande doth oft chang her prynce: but thorowe men of vnderstandynge and wysdome a realme endureth long. |
| 28:3 | One pore man oppressinge another by uiolence is lyke a continuall rayne that destroieth the fruyte. |
| 28:4 | They that forsake the lawe, prayse the vngodly: but such as kepe the law abhorre them. |
| 28:5 | Wycked men discerue not the thynge that is ryght, but they that seke after the Lord, discusse al thynges. |
| 28:6 | A poore man leadyng a godly lyfe, is better then the rych that goeth in froward wayes. |
| 28:7 | Who so kepeth the lawe, is a childe of vnderstandynge: but he that fedeth ryotous men shameth hys father. |
| 28:8 | Who so increaseth hys ryches by vauntage and wynnynge, let hym gather them to helpe the poore wyth al. |
| 28:9 | He that turneth away his eare from hearing the lawe, his prayer shalbe abhorred. |
| 28:10 | Who so leadeth the ryghtuous into an euel waye, shal fal into his owne pit, but, the iust shall haue the good in possession. |
| 28:11 | The rych man thyncketh him selfe to be wyse, but the poore that hath vnderstandynge can perceaue him well ynough. |
| 28:12 | When ryghtuous men are in prosperite, then doth honoure floryshe: but when the vngodly come vp, the state of men chaungeth. |
| 28:13 | He that hydeth hys synnes, shall not prospere: but who so knowledgeth them and forsaketh them shal haue mercy. |
| 28:14 | Well is hym that standeth alwaye in awe: as for hym that hardeneth his hert, he shall fal into myschyefe. |
| 28:15 | Lyke as a roarynge lyon and an hongry beare, euen so is an vngodly prynce ouer the pore people. |
| 28:16 | Wher the prynce is wythout vnderstandyng, ther is greate oppression and wronge: but if he be such one as hateth couetousnesse he shall longe raygne. |
| 28:17 | He that by vyolence sheddeth anye mannes bloude, shall be a rennagate vnto his graue, and no man shall be able to succoure hym. |
| 28:18 | Who so leadetth a godly and an inocent life, shalbe, safe: but he that goeth frowarde wayes, shall once haue a fall. |
| 28:19 | He that tylleth his lande, shall haue plenteousnesse of bread: but he that foloweth ydilnesse, shall haue pouerte ynough. |
| 28:20 | A faithfull man is greatlye to be commended, but he that maketh to much haste for to be rych, shall not be vngyltye. |
| 28:21 | To haue respecte of persons in iudgment is not good: And why? he wil do wrong, yea euen for a pece of bread. |
| 28:22 | He that wyll be ritch all to soone, hath an euell eye, and considereth not, that pouertye shall come vpon him. |
| 28:23 | He that rebuketh a man, shal fynde more fauoure at the laste, then he that flattereth him. |
| 28:24 | Who so robbeth hys father and mother, and sayeth it is no synne: the same is like vnto a murtherer. |
| 28:25 | He that is of a proud stomacke, stereth vp strife but he that putteth hys truste in the Lorde, shalbe wel fedde. |
| 28:26 | He that trusteth in his own hert, is a foole: but he that dealeth wysely, shal be safe. |
| 28:27 | He that geueth vnto the poore, shall not wante: but he that turneth awaye hys eyes from suche as be in necessytye, shal suffer greate pouertye hym selfe. |
| 28:28 | When the vngodlye are come vp, men are fayne to hyde them selues: but when they perysh, the ryghtuous increase. |
Matthew's Bible 1537
The Matthew Bible, also known as Matthew's Version, was first published in 1537 by John Rogers, under the pseudonym "Thomas Matthew". It combined the New Testament of William Tyndale, and as much of the Old Testament as he had been able to translate before being captured and put to death, with the translations of Myles Coverdale as to the balance of the Old Testament and the Apocrypha, except the Apocryphal Prayer of Manasses. It is thus a vital link in the main sequence of English Bible translations.
