1 Better is the pore that lyueth godly, then the blasphemer that is but a fole.
2 Where no discrecyon is, there the soule is inclined to the thyng that is not good, and is swyft on fote, and offendeth.
3 Folysshenes maketh a man to go out of hys waye, & then is hys herte vnpacient against the Lorde.
4 Ryches make many frendes: but the pore is forsaken of hys neyghboure.
5 A false witnes shall not remayne vnpunysshed: and he that speaketh lyes shall not escape.
6 The multitude hangeth vpon great men: and euery man fauoureth hym that geueth rewardes.
7 As for the poore, he is hated amonge all his brethren: yee, hys awne frendes withdrawe from him: and yf he aske them the cause, they dysdayne to answere hym.
8 He that is wyse, loueth hys awne soule: and kepeth vnderstandinge, that he maye prospere.
9 A false witnes shall not remayne vnpunyshed: and he that speaketh lyes shall peryshe.
10 Pleasure becommeth not a foole, moch more vnsemely is it, a bonde man to haue the rule of prynces.
11 A wyse man can put of displeasure: and it is hys honoure to lett some fautes passe.
12 The kynges dysfauoure is lyke the roarynge of a lyon, but hys frendshypis lyke the dewe vpon the grasse.
13 An vndyscrete sonne is the heuynes of his father: & a braulyng wyfe is lyke the top of an house, where thorowe it is euer droppynge.
14 House and rychesse maye a man haue by the herytage of hys elders: but a dyscrete woman is the gyft of the Lorde.
15 Slouthfulnes bryngeth slepe: and a soule accustomed with crafte shall suffre honger.
16 Whoso kepeth the commaundment, kepeth his awne soule: but he that regardeth not hys waye, shall dye.
17 He that hath pitye vpon the poore, lendeth vnto the Lorde: and loke what he layeth out, it shalbe payed hym agayne.
18 Chasten thy sonne whyle there is hope: but let not thy soule be moued to slaye hym.
19 A man of great wrath beareth a payne: and though thou once deliuer him, thou must agayne do asmoch for him.
20 O geue care vnto good councell, and be content to be reformed, that thou mayest be wyse in thy latter dayes.
21 There are many deuyces in a mans herte: neuertheles, the councell of the Lorde shall stande.
22 It is a mans worship to do good: & better it is to be a pore man then a dissembler.
23 The feare of the Lord bringeth a man to lyfe: and he shall rest the hole night in plenteousnes, without visitacyon of anye plage.
24 A slouthfull man shuteth his handes into his bosom, as into the pot: and wyll not take payne to put it to hys mouth.
25 If thou smytest a scornefull persone, the ignoraunt shall take better heed: and yf thou reprouest one that hath vnderstondynge, he wylbe the wyser.
26 He that hurteth his father or shuteth out hys mother, is a shamefull and an vnworthy sonne.
27 My sonne, heare nomore the doctrine that leadeth the vnto errours from the wordes of vnderstondinge.
28 A false witnes laugheth iudgement to scorne: and the mouth of the vngodly eateth wickednesse.
29 Punyshementes are ordeyned for the scornefull: and stryppes for fooles backes.
