28Iudge none blessed before his death: for a man shall bee knowen in his children. 29Bring not euery man into thine house, for the deceitfull man hath many traines. 30Like as a Partrich taken [and kept] in a cage, so is the heart of the proud; and like as a spie, watcheth hee for thy fall. 31For hee lieth in wait, and turneth good into euill, and in things worthy praise, will lay blame vpon thee. 32Of a sparke of fire, a heape of coales is kindled: and a sinnefull man layeth waite for blood.
