Proverbs 13:7-19

⁷There is that maketh himselfe riche, and hath nothing, and that maketh himselfe poore, hauing great riches.

⁸A man will giue his riches for the ransome of his life: but the poore cannot heare ye reproch.

⁹The light of the righteous reioyceth: but the candle of the wicked shall be put out.

¹⁰Onely by pride doeth man make contention: but with the well aduised is wisdome.

¹¹The riches of vanitie shall diminish: but he that gathereth with the hand, shall increase them.

¹²The hope that is deferred, is the fainting of the heart: but when the desire commeth, it is as a tree of life.

¹³He that despiseth the worde, hee shall be destroyed: but hee that feareth the commandement he shalbe rewarded.

¹⁴The instruction of a wise man is as the welspring of life, to turne away from the snares of death.

¹⁵Good vnderstanding maketh acceptable: but the way of the disobedient is hated.

¹⁶Euery wise man will worke by knowledge: but a foole will spread abroade folly.

¹⁷A wicked messenger falleth into euill: but a faithfull ambassadour is preseruation.

¹⁸Pouertie and shame is to him that refuseth instruction: but hee that regardeth correction, shalbe honoured.

¹⁹A desire accomplished deliteth ye soule: but it is an abomination to fooles to depart from euil.
