CHAP. XXI.
2Euery way of a man is right in his owne eyes: but the Lord pondereth the hearts.2
3To doe iustice and iudgement, is more acceptable to the Lord, then sacrifice.3
4An high looke, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, is sinne.4
6The getting of treasures by a lying tongue, is a vanitie tossed to and fro of them that seeke death.6
7The robbery of the wicked shall destroy them; because they refuse to doe iudgement.7
8The way of man is froward and strange: but as for the pure; his worke is right.
9It is better to dwell in a corner of the house top; then with a brawling woman in a wide house.9
10The soule of the wicked desireth euill: his neighbour findeth no fauour in his eyes.10
11When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise: and when the wise is instructed, he receiueth knowledge.11
13Whoso stoppeth his eares at the cry of the poore, hee also shall cry himselfe, but shall not be heard.13
14A gift in secret pacifieth anger; and a reward in the bosome, strong wrath.14
15It is ioy to the iust to doe iudgement: but destruction shalbe to the workers of iniquitie.
17He that loueth pleasure, shall be a poore man: hee that loueth wine and oyle, shall not be rich.17
18The wicked shalbe a ransome for the righteous; and the transgressour for the vpright.18
19It is better to dwell in the wildernesse, then with a contentious and an angry woman.19
21Hee that followeth after righteousnesse and mercy, findeth life, righteousnesse and honour.
22A wise man scaleth the citie of the mightie, and casteth downe the strength of the confidence thereof.22
23Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue, keepeth his soule from troubles.23
24Proud and haughtie scorner, is his name, who dealeth in proud wrath.24
25The desire of the slouthfull killeth him: for his hands refuse to labour.25
26Hee coueteth greedily all the day long: but the righteous giueth and spareth not.26
27The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination: how much more, when he bringeth it with a wicked minde?27
28A false witnesse shall perish: but the man that heareth, speaketh constantly.28
29A wicked man hardeneth his face: but as for the vpright, he directeth his way.29
30There is no wisedome, nor vnderstanding, nor counsell against the Lord.30
31The horse is prepared against the day of battell: but safetie is of the Lord.31
