|---|---|
| 1 | A Good name is rather to be chosen then great riches, and louing fauour rather then siluer & golde. |
| 2 | The rich and poore meet together: the Lord is the maker of them all. |
| 3 | A prudent man foreseeth the euill, and hideth himselfe: but the simple passe on, and are punished. |
| 4 | By humilitie and the feare of the Lord, are riches, and honour, and life. |
| 5 | Thornes and snares are in the way of the froward: he that doeth keepe his soule, shalbe farre from them. |
| 6 | Traine vp a childe in the way he should goe: and when he is olde, hee will not depart from it. |
| 7 | The rich ruleth ouer the poore, and the borrower is seruant to the lender. |
| 8 | Hee that soweth iniquitie, shall reape vanitie: and the rodde of his anger shall faile. |
| 9 | Hee that hath a bountifull eye, shall bee blessed: for hee giueth of his bread to the poore. |
| 10 | Cast out the scorner, and contention shall goe out; yea strife, and reproch shall cease. |
| 11 | He that loueth purenesse of heart, for the grace of his lips the king shall be his friend. |
| 12 | The eyes of the Lord preserue knowledge, and he ouerthroweth the words of the transgressour. |
| 13 | The slothfull man sayth, There is a lyon without, I shall be slaine in the streetes. |
| 14 | The mouth of strange women is a deepe pit: he that is abhorred of the Lord shall fall therein. |
| 15 | Foolishnesse is bound in the heart of a child: but the rod of correction shal driue it farre from him. |
| 16 | Hee that oppresseth the poore to increase his riches, and he that giueth to the rich, shall surely come to want. |
| 17 | Bow downe thine eare, and heare the words of the wise, and apply thine heart vnto my knowledge. |
| 18 | For it is a pleasant thing, if thou keepe them within thee; they shall withall be fitted in thy lippes. |
| 19 | That thy trust may bee in the Lord, I haue made knowen to thee this day, euen to thee. |
| 20 | Haue not I written to thee excellent things in counsailes and knowledge: |
| 21 | That I might make thee knowe the certainty of the words of truth; that thou mightest answere the words of trueth to them that send vnto thee? |
| 22 | Rob not the poore because he is poore, neither oppresse the afflicted in the gate. |
| 23 | For the Lord will plead their cause, and spoile the soule of those that spoiled them. |
| 24 | Make no friendship with an angrie man: and with a furious man thou shalt not goe; |
| 25 | Lest thou learne his wayes, and get a snare to thy soule. |
| 26 | Be not thou one of them that strike hands, or of them that are sureties for debts. |
| 27 | If thou hast nothing to pay, why should he take away thy bed from vnder thee? |
| 28 | Remoue not the ancient land marke, which thy fathers haue set. |
| 29 | Seest thou a man diligent in his businesse? hee shall stand before kings, he shall not stand before meane men. |
