| [1]The ungodly man flees when no one pursues: but the righteous is confident as a lion. |
[1]The vngodly fleeth when no man pursueth him: but the righteous are bolde as a Lion |
| [2]By reason of the sins of ungodly men quarrels arise; but a wise man will quell them. |
[2]For the wickednes of the lande, the prince is oft chaunged: but thorowe a man of vnderstanding and wysdome, a realme endureth long |
| [3]A bold man oppresses the poor by ungodly deeds. As an impetuous and profitable rain, |
[3]One poore man oppressing another by violence, is like a raging rayne that destroyeth the fruite |
| [4]so they that forsake the law praise ungodliness; but they that love the law fortify themselves with a wall. |
[4]They that forsake the lawe, prayse the vngodly: but such as kepe the lawe are greeued at them |
| [5]Evil men will not understand judgment: but they that seek the Lord will understand everything. |
[5]Wicked men vnderstande not iudgement: but they that seeke the Lord, vnderstande all thinges |
| [6]A poor man walking in truth is better than a rich liar. |
[6]Better is he that walketh in his vprightnes: then he that peruerteth his wayes, and is riche |
| [7]A wise son keeps the law: but he that keeps up debauchery dishonours his father. |
[7]Who so kepeth the lawe, is a chylde of vnderstanding: but he that is a companion of riotous men, shameth his father |
| [8]He that increases his wealth by usuries and unjust gains, gathers it for him that pities the poor. |
[8]He that by vsurie and vniust gaynes gathereth riches: he shall lay them in store for a man that will pitie the poore |
| [9]He that turns away his ear from hearing the law, even he has made his prayer abominable. |
[9]He that turneth away his eare from hearing the lawe, his prayer shalbe abhominable |
| [10]He that causes upright men to err in an evil way, himself shall fall into destruction: transgressor also shall pass by prosperity, but shall not enter into it. |
[10]Who so causeth the righteous to go astray by an euill way, shall fall into his owne pit: but the iust shall haue the good in possession |
| [11]A rich man is wise in his own conceit; but an intelligent poor man will condemn him. |
[11]The riche man thinketh hym selfe to be wise: but the poore that hath vnderstandyng can perceaue hym well inough |
| [12]By reason of the help of righteous men great glory arises: but in the places of the ungodly men are caught. |
[12]When righteous men do reioyce, there is great glory: but when the wicked come vp, the man is tryed |
| [13]He that covers his own ungodliness shall not prosper: but he that blames himself shall be loved. |
[13]He that hydeth his sinnes, shall not prosper: but whoso knowledgeth them and forsaketh them, shall haue mercy |
| [14]Blessed is the man who religiously fears always: but the hard of heart shall fall into mischiefs. |
[14]Well is hym that standeth alway in awe: as for hym that hardeneth his heart, he shall fall into mischiefe |
| [15]A hungry lion and a thirsty wolf is he, who, being poor, rules over a poor nation. |
[15]As a roaring Lion and an hungrye Beare, so is an vngodly prince ouer the poore people |
| [16]A king in need of revenues is a great oppressor: but he that hates injustice shall live a long time. |
[16]Where the prince is without vnderstanding, there is great oppression and wrong: but if he hateth couetousnes, he shall long raigne |
| [17]He that becomes surety for a man charged with murder shall be an exile, and not in safety. Chasten thy son, and he shall love thee, and give honour to thy soul: he shall not obey a sinful nation. |
[17]He that by violence shedeth any mans blood, shalbe a runnagate vnto his graue, and no man shalbe able to succour hym |
| [18]He that walks justly is assisted: but he that walks in crooked ways shall be entangled therein. |
[18]Whoso leadeth an innocent life, shalbe saued: but he that goeth frowarde wayes, shall once haue a fall |
| [19]He that tills his own land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that follows idleness shall have plenty of poverty. |
[19]He that tylleth his lande shall haue plenteousnes of bread: but he that foloweth idle persons, shall haue pouertie inough |
| [20]A man worthy of credit shall be much blessed: but the wicked shall not be unpunished. |
[20]A faythfull man shalbe fylled with blessinges, and he that maketh haste to be riche, shall not be vngyltie |
| [21]He that reverences not the persons of the just is not good: such a one will sell a man for a morsel of bread. |
[21]To haue respect of persons [in iudgement] is not good, for that man wyll do wrong, yea euen for a peece of bread |
| [22]An envious man makes haste to be rich, and knows not that the merciful man will have the mastery over him. |
[22]He that wyll be riche all to soone, hath an euyll eye: and considereth not that pouertie shall come vpon hym |
| [23]He that reproves a man's ways shall have more favour than he that flatters with the tongue. |
[23]He that folowyng my preceptes rebuketh a man, shall fynde more fauour at the last then he that flattereth hym |
| [24]He that casts off father or mother, and thinks he sins not; the same is partaker with an ungodly man. |
[24]Who so robbeth his father and mother, and sayth it is no sinne: the same is the companion of a destroyer |
| [25]An unbelieving man judges rashly: but he that trusts in the Lord will act carefully. |
[25]He that is of a proude stomacke stirreth vp strife: but he that putteth his trust in the Lorde shalbe well fed |
| [26]He that trusts to a bold heart, such an one is a fool: but he that walks in wisdom shall be safe. |
[26]He that trusteth in his owne heart is a foole: but he that dealeth wisely shalbe safe |
| [27]He that gives to the poor shall not be in want: but he that turns away his eye from him shall be in great distress. |
[27]He that geueth vnto the poore shall not lacke: but he that hydeth his eyes from them, shall haue many a curse |
| [28]In the places of ungodly men the righteous mourn: but in their destruction the righteous shall be multiplied. |
[28]When the vngodly are come vp, men are fayne to hide themselues: but when they perishe, the ryghteous encrease |
