|---|---|
| 1 | A false ballance is abomination to the Lord: but a iust weight is his delight. |
| 2 | When pride commeth, then commeth shame: but with the lowly is wisedome. |
| 3 | The integritie of the vpright shall guide them: but the peruersenesse of transgressours shall destroy them. |
| 4 | Riches profite not in the day of wrath: but righteousnesse deliuereth from death. |
| 5 | The righteousnesse of the perfect shall direct his way: but the wicked shall fall by his owne wickednesse. |
| 6 | The righteousnesse of the vpright shall deliuer them: but transgressours shall be taken in their owne naughtinesse. |
| 7 | When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish: and the hope of vniust men perisheth. |
| 8 | The righteous is deliuered out of trouble, and the wicked commeth in his stead. |
| 9 | An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the iust be deliuered. |
| 10 | When it goeth well with the righteous, the citie reioyceth: and when the wicked perish, there is shouting. |
| 11 | By the blessing of the vpright the citie is exalted; but it is ouerthrowen by the mouth of the wicked. |
| 12 | He that is void of wisedome, despiseth his neighbour: but a man of vnderstanding holdeth his peace. |
| 13 | A tale-bearer reuealeth secrets: but hee that is of a faithfull spirit, concealeth the matter. |
| 14 | Where no counsell is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellers there is safetie. |
| 15 | Hee that is suretie for a stranger, shall smart for it: and hee that hateth suretiship, is sure. |
| 16 | A gracious woman retaineth honour: and strong men retaine riches. |
| 17 | The mercifull man doeth good to his owne soule: but he that is cruell, troubleth his owne flesh. |
| 18 | The wicked worketh a deceitfull worke: but to him that soweth righteousnesse, shall be a sure reward. |
| 19 | As righteousnesse tendeth to life: so he that pursueth euill, pursueth it to his owne death. |
| 20 | They that are of a froward heart, are abomination to the Lord: but such as are vpright in their way, are his delight. |
| 21 | Though hand ioyne in hand, the wicked shall not be vnpunished: but the seede of the righteous shall be deliuered. |
| 22 | As a iewell of golde in a swines snowt; so is a faire woman which is without discretion. |
| 23 | The desire of the righteous is onely good: but the expectation of the wicked is wrath. |
| 24 | There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more then is meete, but it tendeth to pouertie. |
| 25 | The liberall soule shalbe made fat: and he that watereth, shall be watered also himselfe. |
| 26 | Hee that withholdeth corne, the people shall curse him: but blessing shall be vpon the head of him that selleth it. |
| 27 | He that diligently seeketh good, procureth fauour: but hee that seeketh mischiefe, it shall come vnto him. |
| 28 | He that trusteth in his riches, shall fall: but the righteous shall flourish as a branch. |
| 29 | He that troubleth his owne house, shall inherite the winde: and the foole shall be seruant to the wise of heart. |
| 30 | The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life: and hee that winneth soules, is wise. |
| 31 | Behold, the righteous shalbe recompensed in the earth: much more the wicked and the sinner. |
