Proverbs 17:4-9

⁴The wicked giueth heed to false lippes, and a lyer hearkeneth to the naughtie tongue.

⁵Hee that mocketh the poore, reprocheth him, that made him: and he that reioyceth at destruction, shall not be vnpunished.

⁶Childres children are the crowne of the elders: and the glory of ye children are their fathers.

⁷Hie talke becommeth not a foole, much lesse a lying talke a prince.

⁸A rewarde is as a stone pleasant in the eyes of them that haue it: it prospereth, whithersoeuer it turneth.

⁹Hee that couereth a transgression, seeketh loue: but hee that repeateth a matter, separateth the prince.
