Proverbs 14:24-35

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.

²⁹He that is slowe to wrath, is of great wisdome: but he that is of an hastie minde, exalteth follie.

³⁰A sounde heart is the life of the flesh: but enuie is the rotting of the bones.

³¹He that oppresseth the poore, reprooueth him that made him: but hee honoureth him, that hath mercie on the poore.

³²The wicked shall be cast away for his malice: but the righteous hath hope in his death.

³³Wisedome resteth in the heart of him that hath vnderstanding, and is knowen in the mids of fooles.

³⁴Iustice exalteth a nation, but sinne is a shame to the people.

³⁵The pleasure of a King is in a wise seruant: but his wrath shalbe toward him that is lewde.
