Proverbs 21:8-18

⁸The way of some is peruerted and strange: but of the pure man, his worke is right.

⁹It is better to dwell in a corner of the house top, then with a contentious woman in a wide house.

¹⁰The soule of the wicked wisheth euill: and his neighbour hath no fauour in his eyes.

¹¹When the scorner is punished, the foolish is wise: and when one instructeth the wise, he wil receiue knowledge.

¹²The righteous teacheth the house of the wicked: but God ouerthroweth the wicked for their euill.

¹³He that stoppeth his eare at the crying of the poore, he shall also cry and not be heard.

¹⁴A gift in secret pacifieth anger, and a gift in the bosome great wrath.

¹⁵It is ioye to the iust to doe iudgement: but destruction shalbe to the workers of iniquitie.

¹⁶A man that wandreth out of the way of wisdome, shall remaine in the congregation of the dead.

¹⁷Hee that loueth pastime, shalbe a poore man: and he that loueth wine and oyle, shall not be riche.

¹⁸The wicked shalbe a ransome for the iust, and the transgressour for the righteous.
