XIX ¶ [fn]Better is the poore that walketh in his integrity, then he that is peruerse in his lippes, and is a foole. 2 Also, that the soule be without knowledge, it is not good, and hee that hasteth with his feete, sinneth. 3 The foolishnesse of man peruerteth his way: and his heart fretteth against the LORD. 4 [fn]Wealth maketh many friends: but the poore is separated from his neighbour. 5 [fn][fn]A false witnesse shall not be vnpunished: and he that speaketh lyes, shal not escape. 6 [fn]Many will entreate the fauour of the Prince: and euery man is a friend to him that giueth gifts. 7 [fn]All the brethren of the poore doe hate him: howe much more doe his friends goe farre from him? Hee pursueth them with words, yet they are wanting to him. 8 [fn]He that getteth wisedome loueth his owne soule: he that keepeth vnderstanding shall find good. 9 [fn]A false witnesse shall not be vnpunished, and hee that speaketh lyes, shall perish. 10 [fn]Delight is not seemely for a foole: much lesse for a seruant to haue rule ouer princes. 11 [fn][fn]The discretion of a man deferreth his anger: and it is his glory to passe ouer a transgression. 12 [fn]The kings wrath is as the roaring of a lyon: but his fauour is as dewe vpon the grasse. 13 [fn][fn]A foolish sonne is the calamity of his father; and the contentions of a wife are a continuall dropping. 14 [fn]House and riches, are the inheritance of fathers; and a prudent wife is from the LORD. 15 [fn]Slouthfulnesse casteth into a deep sleepe: and an idle soule shall suffer hunger. 16 [fn]He that keepeth the commandement, keepeth his owne soule: but hee that despiseth his wayes, shall die. 17 [fn][fn]Hee that hath pity vpon the poore, lendeth vnto the LORD; and that which he hath giuen, will he pay him againe. 18 [fn][fn]Chasten thy sonne while there is hope; and let not thy soule spare for his crying. 19 [fn]A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment: for if thou deliuer him, yet thou must doe it againe. 20 Heare counsell, and receiue instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end. 21 [fn]There are many deuices in a mans heart: neuerthelesse the counsell of the LORD, that shall stand. 22 The desire of a man is his kindnesse: and a poore man is better then a lyar. 23 The feare of the LORD tendeth to life, and he that hath it shall abide satisfied: he shall not be visited with euill. 24 [fn]A slouthfull man hideth his hand in his bosome, and wil not so much as bring it to his mouth againe. 25 [fn][fn]Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware; and reprooue one that hath vnderstanding, and he will vnderstand knowledge. 26 He that wasteth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is a sonne that causeth shame, and bringeth reproch. 27 Cease, my sonne, to heare the instruction, that causeth to erre from the words of knowledge. 28 [fn]An vngodly witnesse scorneth iudgement: and the mouth of the wicked deuoureth iniquitie. 29 Iudgements are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the backe of fooles.
