|---|---|
| 1 | The kings heart is in the hand of the Lord, as the riuers of water: hee turneth it whithersoeuer he will. |
| 2 | Euery way of a man is right in his owne eyes: but the Lord pondereth the hearts. |
| 3 | To doe iustice and iudgement, is more acceptable to the Lord, then sacrifice. |
| 4 | An high looke, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, is sinne. |
| 5 | The thoughts of the diligent tend onely to plenteousnes: but of euery one that is hastie, onely to want. |
| 6 | The getting of treasures by a lying tongue, is a vanitie tossed to and fro of them that seeke death. |
| 7 | The robbery of the wicked shall destroy them; because they refuse to doe iudgement. |
| 8 | The way of man is froward and strange: but as for the pure; his worke is right. |
| 9 | It is better to dwell in a corner of the house top; then with a brawling woman in a wide house. |
| 10 | The soule of the wicked desireth euill: his neighbour findeth no fauour in his eyes. |
| 11 | When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise: and when the wise is instructed, he receiueth knowledge. |
| 12 | The righteous man wisely considereth the house of the wicked: but God ouerthroweth the wicked for their wickednesse. |
| 13 | Whoso stoppeth his eares at the cry of the poore, hee also shall cry himselfe, but shall not be heard. |
| 14 | A gift in secret pacifieth anger; and a reward in the bosome, strong wrath. |
| 15 | It is ioy to the iust to doe iudgement: but destruction shalbe to the workers of iniquitie. |
| 16 | The man that wandreth out of the way of vnderstanding, shall remaine in the congregation of the dead. |
| 17 | He that loueth pleasure, shall be a poore man: hee that loueth wine and oyle, shall not be rich. |
| 18 | The wicked shalbe a ransome for the righteous; and the transgressour for the vpright. |
| 19 | It is better to dwell in the wildernesse, then with a contentious and an angry woman. |
| 20 | There is treasure to be desired, and oyle in the dwelling of the wise: but a foolish man spendeth it vp. |
| 21 | Hee that followeth after righteousnesse and mercy, findeth life, righteousnesse and honour. |
| 22 | A wise man scaleth the citie of the mightie, and casteth downe the strength of the confidence thereof. |
| 23 | Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue, keepeth his soule from troubles. |
| 24 | Proud and haughtie scorner, is his name, who dealeth in proud wrath. |
| 25 | The desire of the slouthfull killeth him: for his hands refuse to labour. |
| 26 | Hee coueteth greedily all the day long: but the righteous giueth and spareth not. |
| 27 | The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination: how much more, when he bringeth it with a wicked minde? |
| 28 | A false witnesse shall perish: but the man that heareth, speaketh constantly. |
| 29 | A wicked man hardeneth his face: but as for the vpright, he directeth his way. |
| 30 | There is no wisedome, nor vnderstanding, nor counsell against the Lord. |
| 31 | The horse is prepared against the day of battell: but safetie is of the Lord. |
