XX ¶ Wine is a mocker, strong drinke is raging: and whosoeuer is deceiued thereby, is not wise.
2 [ref]The feare of a king, is as the roaring of a Lion: who so prouoketh him to anger, sinneth against his owne soule.
3 It is an honour for a man to cease from strife: but euery foole will be medling.
4 [ref]The sluggard will not plow by reason of the [fn]cold; therefore shall he begge in haruest, and haue nothing.
5 [ref]Counsell in the heart of man is like deepe water: but a man of vnderstanding will draw it out.
6 Most men will proclaime euery one his owne [fn]goodnes: but a faithfull man who can finde?
7 The iust man walketh in his integritie: [ref]his children are blessed after him.
8 A king that sitteth in the throne of iudgement, scattereth away all euill with his eyes.
9 [ref]Who can say, I haue made my heart cleane, I am pure from my sinne?
10 [ref][fn]Diuers weights, and [fn]diuers measures, both of them are alike abomination to the LORD.
11 Euen a childe is knowen by his doings, whether his worke be pure, and whether it be right.
12 [ref]The hearing eare, and the seeing eye, the LORD hath made euen both of them.
13 [ref]Loue not sleepe, lest thou come to pouertie: open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread.
14 It is nought, it is nought (saith the buyer:) but when he is gone his way, then he boasteth.
15 There is gold, and a multitude of Rubies: but the lips of knowledge are a precious iewell.
16 [ref]Take his garment that is suerty for a stranger: and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.
17 [ref][fn]Bread of deceit is sweet to a man: but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with grauell.
18 [ref]Euery purpose is established by counsell: and with good aduice make warre.
19 [ref]He that goeth about as a tale-bearer, reueileth secrets; therefore meddle not with him that [fn]flattereth with his lippes.
20 [ref]Who so curseth his father or his mother, his [fn]lampe shall be put out in obscure darkenesse.
21 An inheritance may be gotten hastily at the beginning: but the ende thereof shall not be blessed.
22 [ref]Say not thou, I will recompence euil: but wait on the LORD, and he shall saue thee.
23 [ref]Diuers waights are an abomination vnto the LORD: and a [fn]false ballance is not good.
24 [ref]Mans goings are of the LORD; how can a man then vnderstand his owne way?
25 It is a snare to the man who deuoureth that which is holy: and after vowes, to make inquirie.
26 [ref]A wise king scattereth the wicked, & bringeth the wheele ouer them.
27 The spirit of man is the [fn]candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly.
28 [ref]Mercy and trueth preserue the king: and his throne is vpholden by mercy.
29 [ref]The glory of yong men is their strength: and the beautie of old men is the gray head.
30 The blewnes of a wound [fn]cleanseth away euill: so doe stripes the inward parts of the belly.
