|---|---|
| 1 | Through desire a man hauing separated himselfe, seeketh and intermedleth with all wisedome. |
| 2 | A foole hath no delight in vnderstanding, but that his heart may discouer it selfe. |
| 3 | When the wicked commeth, then commeth also contempt, and with ignominie, reproch. |
| 4 | The words of a mans mouth, are as deepe waters, and the well-spring of wisedome as a flowing brooke. |
| 5 | It is not good to accept the person of the wicked, to ouerthrowe the righteous in iudgement. |
| 6 | A fooles lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes. |
| 7 | A fooles mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soule. |
| 8 | The words of a tale bearer are as wounds, and they goe downe into the innermost parts of the belly. |
| 9 | Hee also that is slouthful in his worke, is brother to him that is a great waster. |
| 10 | The name of the Lord is a a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe. |
| 11 | The rich mans wealth is his strong citie: and as an high wall in his owne conceit. |
| 12 | Before destruction the heart of man is haughtie, and before honour is humilitie. |
| 13 | He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame vnto him. |
| 14 | The spirit of a man will sustaine his infirmitie: but a wounded spirit who can beare? |
| 15 | The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the eare of the wise seeketh knowledge. |
| 16 | A mans gift maketh roome for him, & bringeth him before great men. |
| 17 | He that is first in his owne cause, seemeth iust; but his neighbour commeth and searcheth him. |
| 18 | The lot causeth contentions to cease, and parteth betweene the mighty. |
| 19 | A brother offended is harder to be wonne then a strong citie: and their contentions are like the barres of a castle. |
| 20 | A mans belly shall be satisfied with the fruite of his mouth; and with the increase of his lippes shall he be filled. |
| 21 | Death and life are in the power of the tongue; and they that loue it shall eate the fruite thereof. |
| 22 | Who so findeth a wife, findeth a good thing, and obtaineth fauour of the Lord. |
| 23 | The poore vseth intreaties, but the rich answereth roughly. |
| 24 | A man that hath friends must shewe himselfe friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer then a brother. |
