[1]Better is the poore that liueth godly, then he that abuseth his lippes, and is a foole
[2]The desire without discretion is not good: but [as] a man whiche hasteth with his feete offendeth
[3]The foolishnesse of man paruerteth his way: and his heart fretteth against the Lorde
[4]Riches maketh many frendes: but the poore is separated from his neighbour
[5]A false witnesse shall not be vnpunished: and he that speaketh lyes shall not escape
[6]The multitude hangeth vpon great men: and euery man fauoureth hym that geueth rewardes
[7]All the brethren of the poore do hate hym, yea his owne frendes withdrawe them selues from hym: and he that geueth credence to wordes, getteth nothing
[8]He that is wise loueth his owne soule, and kepeth vnderstanding, that he may prosper
[9]A false witnesse shall not be vnpunished: and he that speaketh lyes shall perishe
[10]Pleasure is not seemely for a foole: muche lesse for a bondman to haue rule of princes
[11]A wyse man can put of displeasure, and it is his honour to let some faultes passe
[12]The kynges displeasure is lyke the roaryng of a Lion: but his fauour is lyke the deawe vpon the grasse
[13]An vndiscrete sonne is the heauinesse of his father, and a brawlyng wyfe is like the toppe of an house wherthrough it is euer dropping
[14]House and riches may a man haue by the heritage of his elders: but a discrete woman is the gyft of the Lorde
[15]Slouthfulnesse bryngeth sleepe, and a soule accustomed with craft, shall suffer hunger
[16]Who so kepeth the commaundement, kepeth his owne soule: but he that regardeth not his wayes, shall dye
[17]He that hath pitie vpon the poore, lendeth vnto the Lord: and looke what he layeth out, it shalbe payde hym agayne
[18]Chasten thy sonne whyle there is hope: and let not thy soule spare for his crying
[19]A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment: and though thou [once] deliuer hym, thou must do it agayne
[20]O geue eare vnto good counsayle, and be content to be refourmed, that thou mayest be wyse in the latter dayes
[21]There are many deuises in a mans heart: neuerthelesse, the counsayle of the Lorde shall stande
[22]It is a mans worship to do good: and a poore man is better then a lyer
[23]The feare of the Lord [bringeth a man] to lyfe: and he shall rest the whole night in plenteousnesse without visitation of any plague
[24]A slouthfull man shutteth his hande into his bosome, and wyll not take payne to put it to his mouth
[25]If thou smytest a scornefull person, the ignoraunt shall take better heede: and if thou reprouest one that hath vnderstanding, he wyll be the wyser
[26]He that hurteth his father, or shutteth out his mother, is a shamefull and an vnworthy sonne
[27]My sonne heare no more the doctrine that leadeth thee vnto errours from the wordes of vnderstanding
[28]A wicked witnesse mocketh iudgement: and the mouth of the vngodly deuoureth wickednesse
[29]Iudgementes are ordeyned for the scornefull, and stripes for fooles backes
