XII ¶ Whoso loueth instruction, loueth knowledge: but he that hateth reproofe, is brutish. 2 A good man obtaineth fauour of the LORD: but a man of wicked deuices will he condemne. 3 [fn]A man shall not bee established by wickednesse: but the roote of the righteous shall not be mooued. 4 [fn]A vertuous woman is a crowne to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed, is as rottennesse in his bones. 5 The thoughts of the righteous are right: but the counsels of the wicked are deceit. 6 [fn]The words of the wicked are to lie in waite for blood: but the mouth of the vpright shall deliuer them. 7 [fn]The wicked are ouerthrowen, and are not: but the house of the righteous shall stand. 8 [fn]A man shall be commended according to his wisedome: but hee that is of a peruerse heart, shall be despised. 9 He that is despised and hath a seruant, is better then he that honoureth himselfe, and lacketh bread. 10 [fn]A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruell. 11 [fn]Hee that tilleth his land, shall bee satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vaine persons, is void of vnderstanding. 12 [fn]The wicked desireth the net of euill men: but the roote of the righteous yeeldeth fruit. 13 [fn][fn]The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lippes: but the iust shall come out of trouble. 14 [fn]A man shall bee satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth, and the recompence of a mans hands shall bee rendred vnto him. 15 [fn]The way of a foole is right in his owne eyes: but he that hearkeneth vnto counsell, is wise. 16 [fn]A fooles wrath is presently knowen: but a prudent man couereth shame. 17 [fn]He that speaketh trueth, sheweth foorth righteousnesse: but a false witnesse, deceit. 18 [fn]There is that speaketh like the pearcings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health. 19 The lippe of trueth shall bee established for euer: but a lying tongue is but for a moment. 20 Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine euill: but to the counsellours of peace, is ioy. 21 There shall no euill happen to the iust: but the wicked shall bee filled with mischiefe. 22 Lying lippes are abomination to the LORD: but they that deale truely, are his delight. 23 [fn]A prudent man concealeth knowledge: but the heart of fooles proclaimeth foolishnesse. 24 [fn][fn]The hand of the diligent shall beare rule: but the slouthfull shall bee vnder tribute. 25 [fn]Heauinesse in the heart of man maketh it stoope: but a good word maketh it glad. 26 [fn]The righteous is more excellent then his neighbour: but the way of the wicked seduceth them. 27 The slouthfull man rosteth not that which he tooke in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man is precious. 28 In the way of righteousnesse is life, and in the path-way thereof there is no death.
