14The heart of him that hath vnderstanding, seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of the foole is fedde with foolishnes.
15All the dayes of the afflicted are euill: but a good conscience is a continuall feast.
16Better is a litle with the feare of the Lord, then great treasure, and trouble therewith.
17Better is a dinner of greene herbes where loue is, then a stalled oxe and hatred therewith.
18An angrie man stirreth vp strife: but hee that is slowe to wrath, appeaseth strife.
19The way of a slouthfull man is as an hedge of thornes: but the way of the righteous is plaine.
20A wise sonne reioyceth the father: but a foolish man despiseth his mother.
21Foolishnes is ioy to him that is destitute of vnderstanding: but a man of vnderstanding walketh vprightly.
