[1]The kynges heart is in the hand of the Lord, lyke as are the riuers of water, he maye turne it whyther soeuer he wyll
[2]Euery mans way seemeth right in his owne eyes: but the Lorde pondereth the heart
[3]To do righteousnes and iudgement, is more acceptable to the Lorde then sacrifice
[4]An high looke, a proude heart, and the plowing of the vngodly is sinne
[5]The deuises of one that is diligent, bring plenteousnesse: but he that is vnaduised, commeth vnto pouertie
[6]To hoorde vp riches with a deceiptfull tongue, is vanitie tossed to and fro of them that seeke death
[7]The robberies of the vngodly shalbe their owne destruction: for they wyll not do the thing that is right
[8]The way of the vngodly is frowarde and straunge: but of the pure man his worke is right
[9]It is better to dwel in a corner on the house toppe, then with a brawling woman in a wide house
[10]The soule of the vngodly wisheth euyll, and his neighbour findeth no fauour in his eyes
[11]When the scornefull is punished, the ignoraunt take the better heede: and when the wyse is instructed, he wyll receaue vnderstanding
[12]The righteous man wysely considereth the house of the wicked, and for their wickednesse [God] ouerthroweth the vngodly
[13]Who so stoppeth his eares at the crying of the poore, he shall crye hym selfe and not be hearde
[14]A priuie rewarde pacifieth displeasure: and a gyft in the bosome [stylleth] furiousnesse
[15]The iust delighteth in doing the thing that is right: but destruction shalbe to the workers of wickednesse
[16]The man that wandereth out of the way of wysdome, shall remaine in the congregation of the dead
[17]He that hath pleasure in bankettes shalbe a poore man: and whoso delighteth in wyne and delicates, shall not be riche
[18]The vngodly shalbe a raunsome for the righteous: and the wicked for the iust
[19]It is better to dwell in the wyldernesse, then with a chydyng and an angrye woman
[20]In a wise mans house there is a great treasure and oyle: but a foolishe body spendeth vp all
[21]Who so foloweth righteousnesse and mercy, findeth both life, righteousnesse, and honour
[22]A wyse man skaleth the citie of the mightie, & ouerthroweth the strength wherein they trusted
[23]Who so kepeth his mouth and his tongue, the same kepeth his soule from troubles
[24]He that is proude and arrogant; is called a scorner, whiche in his wrath worketh presumptuously
[25]The desire of the slouthfull kylleth him: for his handes wyll not labour
[26]He coueteth greedyly all day long: but the righteous geueth and spareth not
[27]The sacrifice of the vngodly is abhomination: howe muche more when they offer the thing that is gotten with wickednesse
[28]A false witnesse shall perishe: but [a good] man speaketh constantly what he hath hearde
[29]An vngodly man hardeneth his face: but the iust refourmeth his owne way
[30]There is no wysdome, there is no vnderstanding, there is no counsayle against the Lorde
[31]The horse is prepared against the day of battayle: but the Lorde geueth victorie
