1A wise sonne maketh a glad father: but a foolish sonne is an heauines to his mother. 2Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness delivereth from death. 3The LORD will not allow the soul of the righteous to famish: but he casteth away the substance of the wicked. 4A slouthfull hand maketh poore: but the hand of the diligent maketh riche. 5He that gathereth in sommer, is the sonne of wisdome: but he that sleepeth in haruest, is the sonne of confusion. 6Blessings [are] upon the head of the just: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked. 7The memory of the just [is] blessed: but the name of the wicked shall perish. 8The wise in heart will receiue commandements: but the foolish in talke shalbe beaten. 9He that walketh vprightly, walketh boldely: but he that peruerteth his wayes, shalbe knowen. 10He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow: but a prating fool shall fall. 11The mouth of a righteous man is a welspring of life: but iniquitie couereth the mouth of the wicked. 12Hatred stirreth vp contentions: but loue couereth all trespasses. 13In the lips of him that hath understanding wisdom is found: but a rod [is] for the back of him that is void of understanding. 14Wise men lay vp knowledge: but ye mouth of the foole is a present destruction. 15The rich man's wealth [is] his strong city: the destruction of the poor [is] their poverty. 16The labour of the righteous tendeth to life: but the reuenues of the wicked to sinne. 17He that regardeth instruction, is in the way of life: but he that refuseth correction, goeth out of the way. 18He that dissembleth hatred with lying lips, and he that inuenteth slaunder, is a foole. 19In many wordes there cannot want iniquitie: but he that refrayneth his lippes, is wise. 20The tongue of the iust man is as fined siluer: but the heart of the wicked is litle worth. 21The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for lack of wisdom. 22The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it. 23It is as a pastime to a foole to doe wickedly: but wisedome is vnderstanding to a man. 24That which the wicked feareth, shal come vpon him: but God wil graunt the desire of the righteous. 25As the whirlewinde passeth, so is the wicked no more: but the righteous is as an euerlasting foundation. 26As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so [is] the sluggard to them that send him. 27The fear of the LORD prolongeth days: but the years of the wicked shall be shortened. 28The patient abiding of the righteous shal be gladnesse: but the hope of the wicked shall perish. 29The way of the Lord is strength to the vpright man: but feare shall be for the workers of iniquitie. 30The righteous shall never be removed: but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth. 31The mouth of the iust shall be fruitfull in wisdome: but the tongue of the froward shall be cut out. 32The lips of the righteous knowe what is acceptable: but the mouth of the wicked speaketh froward things.
