Proverbs 10:18-32

¹⁸He that dissembleth hatred with lying lips, and he that inuenteth slaunder, is a foole.

¹⁹In many wordes there cannot want iniquitie: but he that refrayneth his lippes, is wise.

²⁰The tongue of the iust man is as fined siluer: but the heart of the wicked is litle worth.

²¹The lippes of the righteous doe feede many: but fooles shall die for want of wisedome.

²²The blessing of the Lord, it maketh riche, and he doeth adde no sorowes with it.

²³It is as a pastime to a foole to doe wickedly: but wisedome is vnderstanding to a man.

²⁴That which the wicked feareth, shall come vpon him: but God wil graunt the desire of the righteous.

²⁵As the whirlewinde passeth, so is the wicked no more: but the righteous is as an euerlasting foundation.

²⁶As vineger is to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the slouthful to them that send him.

²⁷The feare of the Lord increaseth the dayes: but the yeeres of the wicked shalbe diminished.

²⁸The patient abiding of the righteous shall be gladnesse: but the hope of the wicked shall perish.

²⁹The way of the Lord is strength to the vpright man: but feare shall be for the workers of iniquitie.

³⁰The righteous shall neuer be remooued: but the wicked shall not dwell in the land.

³¹The mouth of the iust shall be fruitfull in wisdome: but the tongue of the froward shall be cut out.

³²The lips of the righteous knowe what is acceptable: but the mouth of the wicked speaketh froward things.
