CHAP. XIX.
2 Wine and women seduce wise men. 7 Say not all thou hearest. 17 Reproue thy friend without anger. 22 There is no wisedome in wickednesse.
3 Mothes and wormes shall haue him to heritage, and a bold man shall be taken away.
4 He that is hasty to giue credit is light minded, and he that sinneth shall offend against his owne soule.4
7 Rehearse not vnto another that which is told vnto thee, and thou shalt fare neuer the worse.
8 Whether it be to friend or foe, talk not of other mens liues, and if thou canst without offence reueale them not.8
9 For he heard and obserued thee, and when time commeth he will hate thee.9
10 If thou hast heard a word, let it die with thee, and be bold it will not burst thee.
11 A foole trauaileth with a word, as a woman in labour of a child.
12 As an arrowe that sticketh in a mans thigh, so is a word within a fooles belly.12
13 Admonish a friend, it may be he hath not done it, and if he haue [done it] that he doe it no more.13
14 Admonish thy friend, it may be he hath not said it, and if he haue, that he speake it not againe.14
15 Admonish a friend: for many times it is a slander, & beleeue not euery tale.
16 There is one that slippeth in his speach, but not from his heart, and who is he that hath not offended with his tongue?16
17 Admonish thy neighbour before thou threaten him, and not being angry giue place to the Law of the most high.17
18 The feare of the Lord is the first step to be accepted [of him,] and wisedome obtaineth his loue.18
22 The knowledge of wickednes is not wisedome, neither at any time the counsell of sinners, prudence.
23 There is a wickednesse, and the same an abomination, and there is a foole wanting in wisedome.
25 There is an exquisite subtilty, and the same is vniust, and there is one that turneth aside to make iudgement appeare: and there is a wise man that iustifieth in iudgement.25
26 There is a wicked man that hangeth downe his head sadly; but inwardly he is full of deceit,26
30 A mans attire, and excessiue laughter, and gate, shew what he is.
