16Wherefore is there a price in the hand of the foole to get wisdome, and he hath none heart?
17A friende loueth at all times: and a brother is borne for aduersitie.
18A man destitute of vnderstanding, toucheth the hande, and becommeth suretie for his neighbour.
19He loueth transgression, that loueth strife: and he that exalteth his gate, seeketh destruction.
20The froward heart findeth no good: and he that hath a naughtie tongue, shall fall into euill.
21He that begetteth a foole, getteth himselfe sorow, and the father of a foole can haue no ioy.
22A ioyfull heart causeth good health: but a sorowfull minde dryeth the bones.
23A wicked man taketh a gift out of the bosome to wrest the wayes of iudgement.
24Wisdome is in the face of him that hath vnderstanding: but the eyes of a foole are in the corners of the world.
25A foolish sonne is a griefe vnto his father, and a heauines to her that bare him.
26Surely it is not good to condemne the iust, nor that ye princes should smite such for equitie.
27Hee that hath knowledge, spareth his wordes, and a man of vnderstanding is of an excellent spirit.
