5A man that flattereth his neighbour, spreadeth a net for his steps.
6In the transgression of an euill man is his snare: but the righteous doeth sing and reioyce.
7The righteous knoweth the cause of the poore: but the wicked regardeth not knowledge.
8Scornefull men bring a citie into a snare: but wise men turne away wrath.
9If a wise man contend with a foolish man, whether he be angry or laugh, there is no rest.
10Bloodie men hate him that is vpright: but the iust haue care of his soule.
11A foole powreth out all his minde: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterward.
12Of a prince that hearkeneth to lyes, all his seruants are wicked.
13The poore and the vsurer meete together, and the Lord lighteneth both their eyes.
14A King that iudgeth the poore in trueth, his throne shalbe established for euer.
15The rodde and correction giue wisdome: but a childe set a libertie, maketh his mother ashamed.
16When the wicked are increased, transgression increaseth: but ye righteous shall see their fall.
17Correct thy sonne and he will giue thee rest, and will giue pleasures to thy soule.
18Where there is no vision, the people decay: but he that keepeth the Lawe, is blessed.
