CHAP. XXVII.
1 Of sinnes in selling and buying. 7 Our speach will tell what is in vs. 16 A friend is lost by discouering his secrets. 25 Hee that diggeth a pit shall fall into it.
1Many haue sinned for a smal matter: & he that seeketh for abundance will turne his eies away.1
2As a naile sticketh fast betweene the ioynings of the stones: so doth sinne sticke close betweene buying and selling.2
4As when one sifteth with a sieue, the refuse remaineth, so the filth of man in his talke.4
5The furnace prooueth the potters vessell: so the triall of man is in his reasoning.5
6The fruite declareth if the tree haue beene dressed: so is the vtterance of a conceit in the heart of man.6
7Praise no man before thou hearest him speake, for this is the triall of men.
8If thou followest righteousnesse, thou shalt obtaine her, and put her on, as a glorious long robe.
9The birds will resort vnto their like, so will truth returne vnto them that practise in her.
10As the Lyon lieth in waite for the pray: so sinne for them that worke iniquity.
11The discourse of a godly man is alwaies with wisedome: but a foole changeth as the Moone.
12If thou be among the vndiscreet, obserue the time: but be continually among men of vnderstanding.
13The discourse of fooles is irksome, and their sport is in the wantonnesse of sinne.
15The strife of the proud is blood-shedding, and their reuilings are grieuous to the eare.
16Who so discouereth secrets, looseth his credit: and shall neuer find friend to his minde.
18For as a man hath destroyed his enemie: so hast thou lost the loue of thy neighbour.
20Follow after him no more, for he is too far off, he is as a roe escaped out of the snare.
22He that winketh with the eies worketh euil, and he that knoweth him will depart from him.22
23When thou art present he will speake sweetly, and will admire thy words: but at the last he will writhe his mouth, and slander thy sayings.23
24I haue hated many things, but nothing like him, for the Lord will hate him.
26Who so diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that setteth a trap shall be taken therein.26
27He that worketh mischiefe, it shall fall vpon him, and he shall not know whence it commeth.
28Mockery and reproach are from the proud: but vengeance as a Lyon shall lie in waite for them.28
30Malice and wrath, euen these are abhominations, and the sinfull man shall haue them both.
