13 Who ruleth the earth but he? or who hath placed the whole world
14 If he set his heart vpon [man] and gather vnto hym selfe his spirite and his breath
15 All fleshe shall come to naught at once, and all men shall turne againe vnto dust
16 If thou nowe haue vnderstanding, heare what I say, and hearken to the voyce of my wordes
17 May he be a ruler that loueth not right? or may he that is a very innocent man do vngodly
18 Is it reason that thou shouldest say to the king, Thou art wicked, or thou art vngodly, and that before the princes
19 God hath no respect vnto the persons of the lordly, and regardeth not the riche more then the poore: for they be al the worke of his handes

28 Insomuch that they haue caused the voyce of the poore to come vnto him, and now he heareth the complaint of such as are in trouble

30 Because the hypocrite doth raigne, because the people are snared
31 Surely of God onely it can be saide, I haue pardoned, I wyll not destroy
32 If I haue gone amisse, enfourme thou me: If I haue done wrong, I wyll leaue of
33 Wyll he perfourme the thing through thee? for thou hast reproued his iudgement, thou also hast thyne owne minde, and not I: But speake on what thou knowest
