|---|---|
| 1 | Better is the poore that walketh in his integrity, then he that is peruerse in his lippes, and is a foole. |
| 2 | Also, that the soule be without knowledge, it is not good, and hee that hasteth with his feete, sinneth. |
| 3 | The foolishnesse of man peruerteth his way: and his heart fretteth against the Lord. |
| 4 | Wealth maketh many friends: but the poore is separated from his neighbour. |
| 5 | A false witnesse shall not be vnpunished: and he that speaketh lyes, shal not escape. |
| 6 | Many will entreate the fauour of the Prince: and euery man is a friend to him that giueth gifts. |
| 7 | All the brethren of the poore doe hate him: howe much more doe his friends goe farre from him? Hee pursueth them with words, yet they are wanting to him. |
| 8 | He that getteth wisedome loueth his owne soule: he that keepeth vnderstanding shall find good. |
| 9 | A false witnesse shall not be vnpunished, and hee that speaketh lyes, shall perish. |
| 10 | Delight is not seemely for a foole: much lesse for a seruant to haue rule ouer princes. |
| 11 | The discretion of a man deferreth his anger: and it is his glory to passe ouer a transgression. |
| 12 | The kings wrath is as the roaring of a lyon: but his fauour is as dewe vpon the grasse. |
| 13 | A foolish sonne is the calamity of his father; and the contentions of a wife are a continuall dropping. |
| 14 | House and riches, are the inheritance of fathers; and a prudent wife is from the Lord. |
| 15 | Slouthfulnesse casteth into a deep sleepe: and an idle soule shall suffer hunger. |
| 16 | He that keepeth the commandement, keepeth his owne soule: but hee that despiseth his wayes, shall die. |
| 17 | Hee that hath pity vpon the poore, lendeth vnto the Lord; and that which he hath giuen, will he pay him againe. |
| 18 | Chasten thy sonne while there is hope; and let not thy soule spare for his crying. |
| 19 | A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment: for if thou deliuer him, yet thou must doe it againe. |
| 20 | Heare counsell, and receiue instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end. |
| 21 | There are many deuices in a mans heart: neuerthelesse the counsell of the Lord, that shall stand. |
| 22 | The desire of a man is his kindnesse: and a poore man is better then a lyar. |
| 23 | The feare of the Lord tendeth to life, and he that hath it shall abide satisfied: he shall not be visited with euill. |
| 24 | A slouthfull man hideth his hand in his bosome, and wil not so much as bring it to his mouth againe. |
| 25 | Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware; and reprooue one that hath vnderstanding, and he will vnderstand knowledge. |
| 26 | He that wasteth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is a sonne that causeth shame, and bringeth reproch. |
| 27 | Cease, my sonne, to heare the instruction, that causeth to erre from the words of knowledge. |
| 28 | An vngodly witnesse scorneth iudgement: and the mouth of the wicked deuoureth iniquitie. |
| 29 | Iudgements are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the backe of fooles. |
