Proverbs 24:7 Cross References - Great

⁷ Wysdom is to hye a thinge for a fole, for he darre not open his mouth in the gate.

⁴ Hys chyldren were without prosperite, and they were slayne in the gate, and there was no man to delyuer them.

⁷ when I wente thorowe the cytie vnto the gate, and when they set me a chayre in the strete: ⁸ when the yonge men (as soone as they sawe me) hid them selues, and when the aged arose, and stode vp vnto me, ⁹ when the Princes left of their talkinge, and layed their hande to their mouth: ¹⁰ when the myghty kepte still their voyce, and when their tonge cleued to the rofe of their mouthe. ¹¹ When all they that herde me, called me happye: and when all they that sawe me, spake good of me. ¹² For I deliuered the poore when he cried, and so did I the fatherlesse and him that had none to holde him. ¹³ He that shulde haue bene lost, gaue me a good worde, and the wyddowes herte praysed me. ¹⁴ And why?

And whan they were in heuynes, I was theyr comfortoure.

²¹ Dyd I euer lyfte vp my hande to hurte the fatherlesse? yee, in the gate where I sawe my selfe to be in auctorite:

⁵ His wayes are allway greuous, thy iudgementes are farre aboue out of his syght, & therfore defyeth he all his enemyes.
