10In the prosperitie of the righteous the citie reioyceth, and when the wicked perish, there is ioye.
11By the blessing of the righteous, the citie is exalted: but it is subuerted by the mouth of the wicked.
12He that despiseth his neighbour, is destitute of wisedome: but a man of vnderstanding will keepe silence.
13Hee that goeth about as a slanderer, discouereth a secret: but hee that is of a faithfull heart concealeth a matter.
14Where no counsell is, the people fall: but where many counsellers are, there is health.
15Hee shall be sore vexed, that is suretie for a stranger, and he that hateth suretiship, is sure.
16A gracious woman atteineth honour, and the strong men atteine riches.
17Hee that is mercifull, rewardeth his owne soule: but he that troubleth his own flesh, is cruel.
18The wicked worketh a deceitful worke: but hee that soweth righteousnes, shall receiue a sure rewarde.
19As righteousnes leadeth to life: so hee that followeth euill, seeketh his owne death.
20They that are of a froward heart, are abomination to the Lord: but they that are vpright in their way, are his delite.
21Though hande ioyne in hande, the wicked shall not be vnpunished: but the seede of the righteous shall escape.
22As a iewell of golde in a swines snoute: so is a faire woman, which lacketh discretion.
23The desire of the righteous is onely good: but the hope of the wicked is indignation.
24There is that scattereth, and is more increased: but hee that spareth more then is right, surely commeth to pouertie.
25The liberall person shall haue plentie: and he that watereth, shall also haue raine.
26He that withdraweth the corne, the people will curse him: but blessing shalbe vpon the head of him that selleth corne.
27He that seeketh good things, getteth fauour: but he that seeketh euill, it shall come to him.
28He that trusteth in his riches, shall fall: but the righteous shall florish as a leafe.
