6A scorner seeketh wisdome, and findeth it not: but knowledge is easie to him that will vnderstande.
7Depart from the foolish man, when thou perceiuest not in him the lippes of knowledge.
8The wisdome of ye prudent is to vnderstand his way: but the foolishnes of the fooles is deceite.
9The foole maketh a mocke of sinne: but among the righteous there is fauour.
10The heart knoweth the bitternes of his soule, and the stranger shall not medle with his ioy.
11The house of the wicked shalbe destroyed: but the tabernacle of the righteous shall florish.
12There is a way that seemeth right to a man: but the issues thereof are the wayes of death.
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.
