Proverbs 14:13-28

¹³Euen in laughing the heart is sorowful, and the ende of that mirth is heauinesse.

¹⁴The heart that declineth, shall be saciate with his owne wayes: but a good man shall depart from him.

¹⁵The foolish will beleeue euery thing: but the prudent will consider his steppes.

¹⁶A wise man feareth, and departeth from euill: but a foole rageth, and is carelesse.

¹⁷He that is hastie to anger, committeth follie, and a busie body is hated.

¹⁸The foolish do inherite follie: but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.

¹⁹The euill shall bowe before the good, and the wicked at the gates of the righteous.

²⁰The poore is hated euen of his own neighbour: but the friendes of the rich are many.

²¹The sinner despiseth his neighbour: but he that hath mercie on the poore, is blessed.

²²Doe not they erre that imagine euill? but to them that thinke on good things, shalbe mercie and trueth.

²³In all labour there is abundance: but the talke of the lippes bringeth onely want.

²⁴The crowne of the wise is their riches, and the follie of fooles is foolishnes.

²⁵A faithfull witnes deliuereth soules: but a deceiuer speaketh lyes.

²⁶In the feare of the Lord is an assured strength, and his children shall haue hope.

²⁷The feare of the Lord is as a welspring of life, to auoyde the snares of death.

²⁸In the multitude of the people is the honour of a King, and for the want of people commeth the destruction of the Prince.
