Bshps PRO Chapter 19

19 Better is the poore that liueth godly, then he that abuseth his lippes, and is a foole. 2 The desire without discretion is not good: but as a man whiche hasteth with his feete offendeth. 3 The foolishnesse of man paruerteth his way: and his heart fretteth against the Lorde. 4 Riches maketh many frendes: but the poore is separated from his neighbour. 5 A false witnesse shall not be vnpunished: and he that speaketh lyes shall not escape. 6 The multitude hangeth vpon great men: and euery man fauoureth hym that geueth rewardes. 7 All the brethren of the poore do hate hym, yea his owne frendes withdrawe them selues from hym: and he that geueth credence to wordes, getteth nothing. 8 He that is wise loueth his owne soule, and kepeth vnderstanding, that he may prosper. 9 A false witnesse shall not be vnpunished: and he that speaketh lyes shall perishe. 10 Pleasure is not seemely for a foole: muche lesse for a bondman to haue rule of princes. 11 A wyse man can put of displeasure, and it is his honour to let some faultes passe. 12 The kynges displeasure is lyke the roaryng of a Lion: but his fauour is lyke the deawe vpon the grasse. 13 An vndiscrete sonne is the heauinesse of his father, and a brawlyng wyfe is like the toppe of an house wherthrough it is euer dropping. 14 House and riches may a man haue by the heritage of his elders: but a discrete woman is the gyft of the Lorde. 15 Slouthfulnesse bryngeth sleepe, and a soule accustomed with craft, shall suffer hunger. 16 Who so kepeth the commaundement, kepeth his owne soule: but he that regardeth not his wayes, shall dye. 17 He that hath pitie vpon the poore, lendeth vnto the Lord: and looke what he layeth out, it shalbe payde hym agayne. 18 Chasten thy sonne whyle there is hope: and let not thy soule spare for his crying. 19 A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment: and though thou once deliuer hym, thou must do it agayne. 20 O geue eare vnto good counsayle, and be content to be refourmed, that thou mayest be wyse in the latter dayes. 21 There are many deuises in a mans heart: neuerthelesse, the counsayle of the Lorde shall stande. 22 It is a mans worship to do good: and a poore man is better then a lyer. 23 The feare of the Lord bringeth a man to lyfe: and he shall rest the whole night in plenteousnesse without visitation of any plague. 24 A slouthfull man shutteth his hande into his bosome, and wyll not take payne to put it to his mouth. 25 If thou smytest a scornefull person, the ignoraunt shall take better heede: and if thou reprouest one that hath vnderstanding, he wyll be the wyser. 26 He that hurteth his father, or shutteth out his mother, is a shamefull and an vnworthy sonne. 27 My sonne heare no more the doctrine that leadeth thee vnto errours from the wordes of vnderstanding. 28 A wicked witnesse mocketh iudgement: and the mouth of the vngodly deuoureth wickednesse. 29 Iudgementes are ordeyned for the scornefull, and stripes for fooles backes.
