[9]The way of the wicked is an abomination to ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎; but He loveth him that followeth after righteousness. [9]The way of the vngodly is an abhomination vnto the Lorde: but who so foloweth righteousnesse, him he loueth

[16]Better is little with the fear of ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎, than great treasure and turmoil therewith. [16]Better is a litle with the feare of the Lorde: then great treasure, and trouble therwith
[17]Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith. [17]Better is a dynner of hearbes with loue, then a fat oxe with euyll wyll
[18]A wrathful man stirreth up discord; but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife. [18]An angry man stirreth vp strife: but he that is patient stylleth discorde

[33]The fear of ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎ is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour goeth humility. [33]The feare of the Lorde is the ryght science of wisdome, and lowlynesse goeth before honour
