|---|---|
| 1 | Boast not thy selfe of to morrow: for thou knowest not what a day may bring foorth. |
| 2 | Let another man praise thee, and not thine owne mouth; a stranger, and not thine owne lips. |
| 3 | A stone is heauie, and the sand weightie: but a fooles wrath is heauier then them both. |
| 4 | Wrath is cruell, and anger is outragious: but who is able to stand before enuie? |
| 5 | Open rebuke is better then secret loue. |
| 6 | Faithfull are the woundes of a friend: but the kisses of an enemy are deceitfull. |
| 7 | The full soule loatheth an honie combe: but to the hungry soule euery bitter thing is sweete. |
| 8 | As a bird that wandreth from her nest: so is a man that wandreth from his place. |
| 9 | Oyntment and perfume reioyce the heart: so doeth the sweetnesse of a mans friend by heartie counsell. |
| 10 | Thine owne friend and thy fathers friend forsake not; neither goe in to thy brothers house in the day of thy calamitie: for better is a neighbour that is neere, then a brother farre off. |
| 11 | My sonne, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answere him that reprocheth me. |
| 12 | A prudent man foreseeth the euil, and hideth himselfe: but the simple passe on, and are punished. |
| 13 | Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge of him for a strange woman. |
| 14 | He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising earely in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him. |
| 15 | A continuall dropping in a very rainie day, and a contentious woman, are alike. |
| 16 | Whosoeuer hideth her, hideth the wind, and the ointment of his right hand which be wrayeth it selfe. |
| 17 | Iron sharpeneth iron: so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend. |
| 18 | Whoso keepeth the figtree, shall eate the fruit therof: so he that waiteth on his master, shall be honoured. |
| 19 | As in water face answereth to face: so the heart of man to man. |
| 20 | Hell and destruction are neuer full: so the eyes of man are neuer satisfied. |
| 21 | As the fining pot for siluer, and the furnace for gold: so is a man to his praise. |
| 22 | Though thou shouldest bray a foole in a morter among wheate with a pestell, yet will not his foolishnesse depart from him. |
| 23 | Be thou diligent to knowe the state of thy flocks, and looke well to thy herds. |
| 24 | For riches are not for euer: and doth the crowne endure to euery generation? |
| 25 | The hay appeareth, and the tender grasse sheweth it selfe, and herbes of the mountaines are gathered. |
| 26 | The lambes are for thy clothing, and the goates are the price of thy field. |
| 27 | And thou shalt haue goats milke enough for thy food, for the food of thy houshold, and for the maintenance for thy maidens. |
