5Hee that gathereth in Summer, is a wise sonne: but hee that sleepeth in haruest, is a sonne that causeth shame. 6Blessings are vpon the head of the iust: but violence couereth the mouth of the wicked. 7The memorie of the iust is blessed: but the name of the wicked shall rot. 8The wise in heart will receiue commaundements: but a prating foole shall fall. 9He that walketh vprightly, walketh surely: but he that peruerteth his wayes, shalbe knowen.
