23A ioy commeth to a man by the answere of his mouth: and how good is a word in due season?
24The way of life is on high to the prudent, to auoyde from hell beneath.
25The Lord will destroye the house of the proude men: but hee will stablish the borders of the widowe.
26The thoughts of ye wicked are abomination to the Lord: but the pure haue pleasant wordes.
27He that is greedie of gaine, troubleth his owne house: but he that hateth giftes, shall liue.
28The heart of the righteous studieth to answere: but the wicked mans mouth babbleth euil thinges.
