[1]Whoso loveth knowledge loveth correction; but he that is brutish hateth reproof. [1]Who so loueth correction loueth knowledge: but he that hateth to be reproued is a foole
[2]A good man shall obtain favour of ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎; but a man of wicked devices will He condemn. [2]A good man is acceptable vnto the Lorde: but the wicked imaginer wyll he condempne
[3]A man shall not established by wickedness; but the root of the righteous shall never be moved. [3]A man can not endure in vngodlinesse: but the roote of the ryghteous shall not be moued
[4]A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband; but she that doeth shamefully is as rottenness in his bones. [4]A huswifely woman is a crowne vnto her husbande: but she that behaueth her selfe vnhonestly, is as corruption in his bones
[5]The thoughts of the righteous are right; but the counsels of the wicked are deceit. [5]The thoughtes of the ryghteous are ryght: but the imaginations of the vngodly are deceptfull
[6]The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood; but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them. [6]The talkyng of the vngodly is howe they may lay wayte for blood: but the mouth of the righteous will deliuer the

[8]A man shall be commended according to h intelligence; but he that is of a distorted understanding shall be despised. [8]A man shalbe commended for his wisdome: but a foole shalbe dispised
[9]Better is he that is lightly esteemed, and hath a servant, than he that playeth the man of rank, and lacketh bread. [9]He that is dispised and is yet his owne man, is better then the glorious that lacketh bread
[10]A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast; but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel. [10]A ryghteous man regardeth the lyfe of his cattell: but the vngodly haue cruell heartes
[11]He that tilleth his ground shall have plenty of bread; but he that followeth after vain things is void of understanding. [11]He that tylleth his lande, shall haue plenteousnesse of bread: but he that foloweth idlenesse is a very foole
[12]The wicked desireth the prey of evil men; but the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit. [12]The desire of the vngodly is a net of euyls: but the roote of the ryghteous bryngeth foorth fruite
[13]In transgression of the lips is a snare to the evil man; but the righteous cometh out of trouble. [13]The wicked falleth into the snare thorowe the malice of his owne mouth: but the iust shall escape out of all perill
[14]A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth, and the doings of a man's hands shall be rendered unto him. [14]Man shalbe satisfied with good thinges: by the fruite of his mouth, and after the workes of his handes shall he be rewarded
[15]The way of a fool is straight in his own eyes; but he that is wise hearkeneth unto counsel. [15]The way of a foole is strayght in his owne eyes: but he that hearkeneth vnto counsayle is wise
[16]A fool's vexation is presently known; but a prudent man concealeth shame. [16]A foole vttereth his wrath in all the haste: but a discrete man couereth his owne shame
[17]He the breatheth forth truth uttereth righteousness; but a false witness deceit. [17]A iust man wyll tell the trueth and shewe the thyng that is ryght: but a false witnesse deceaueth
[18]There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword; but the tongue of the wise is health. [18]A slaunderous person pricketh lyke a sworde: but a wise mans tongue is wholsome
[19]The lip of truth shall be established for ever; but a lying tongue is but for a moment. [19]The lippe of trueth shalbe stable for euer: but a dissemblyng tongue is soone chaunged
[20]Deceit is in the heart of them that devise evil; but to the counsellors of peace is joy. [20]Deceipt is in the heart of them that imagine euyll: but to the counsaylers of peace shalbe ioy
[21]There shall no mischief befall the righteous; but the wicked are filled with evil. [21]There shall no aduersitie happen vnto the iust: but the vngodly shalbe fylled with miserie
[22]Lying lips are an abomination to ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎; but they that deal truly are His delight. [22]The Lorde abhorreth lying lippes: but they that deale truely please hym
[23]A prudent man concealeth knowledge; but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness. [23]A discrete man doth hyde knowledge: but the heart of fooles blabbeth out foolishnesse
[24]The hand of the diligent shall bear rule; but the slothful shall be under tribute. [24]A diligent hande shall beare rule: but the idle shalbe vnder tribute
[25]Care in the heart of a man boweth it down; but a good word maketh it glad. [25]Heauinesse discourageth the heart of man: but a good worde maketh it glad agayne
[26]The righteous is guided by his friend; but the way of the wicked leadeth them astray. [26]The ryghteous excelleth his neyghbour: but the way of the vngodly wyll deceaue them selues
[27]The slothful man shall not hunt his prey; but the precious substance of men is to be diligent. [27]The deciptfull man shall not coste that he toke in huntyng: but the riches of the iust man is of great value
[28]In the way of righteousness is life, and in the pathwa thereof there is no death. [28]In the way of ryghteousnesse there is life: & in the same way there is no death
