Proverbs 19:5-14

⁵A false witnes shall not be vnpunished: and he that speaketh lyes, shall not escape.

⁶Many reuerence the face of the prince, and euery man is friend to him that giueth giftes.

⁷All the brethren of the poore doe hate him: howe much more will his friends depart farre from him? though hee be instant with wordes, yet they will not.

⁸He that possesseth vnderstanding, loueth his owne soule, and keepeth wisdome to finde goodnesse.

⁹A false witnes shall not be vnpunished: and he that speaketh lyes, shall perish.

¹⁰Pleasure is not comely for a foole, much lesse for a seruant to haue rule ouer princes.

¹¹The discretion of man deferreth his anger: and his glory is to passe by an offence.

¹²The Kings wrath is like the roaring of a lyon: but his fauour is like the dewe vpon ye grasse.

¹³A foolish sonne is the calamitie of his father, and the contentions of a wife are like a continuall dropping.

¹⁴House and riches are the inheritance of the fathers: but a prudent wife commeth of the Lord.
