CHAP. XIII.

¹A wise sonne heareth his fathers instruction: but a scorner heareth not rebuke.

²A man shall eate good by the fruit of his mouth: but the soule of the transgressours, shall eate violence.²

³He that keepeth his mouth, keepeth his life: but hee that openeth wide his lips, shall haue destruction.

⁴The soule of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soule of the diligent shall be made fat.

⁵A righteous man hateth lying: but a wicked man is loathsome, and commeth to shame.

⁶Righteousnesse keepeth him that is vpright in the way: but wickednesse ouerthroweth the sinner.⁶

⁷There is that maketh himselfe rich, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himselfe poore, yet hath great riches.

⁸The ransome of a mans life are his riches: but the poore heareth not rebuke.

⁹The light of the righteous reioyceth: but the lampe of the wicked shall be put out.⁹

¹⁰Onely by pride commeth contention: but with the well aduised is wisedome.

¹¹Wealth gotten by vanitie shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour, shall increase.¹¹

¹²Hope deferred maketh the heart sicke: but when the desire commeth, it is a tree of life.

¹³Whoso despiseth the word, shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commaundement, shall be rewarded.¹³

¹⁴The lawe of the wise is a fountaine of life, to depart from the snares of death.¹⁴

¹⁵Good vnderstanding giueth fauour: but the way of transgressours is hard.

¹⁶Euery prudent man dealeth with knowledge: but a foole layeth open his folly.¹⁶

¹⁷A wicked messenger falleth into mischiefe: but a faithfull ambassadour is health.

¹⁸Pouerty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth reproofe, shall be honoured.

¹⁹The desire accomplished is sweet to the soule: but it is abomination to fooles to depart from euill.

²⁰He that walketh with wise men, shall be wise: but a companion of fooles shall be destroyed.²⁰

²¹Euill pursueth sinners: but to the righteous, good shall be repayd.

²²A good man leaueth an inheritance to his childrens children: and the wealth of the sinner is layd vp for the iust.²²

²³Much food is in the tillage of the poore: but there is that is destroyed for want of iudgement.²³

²⁴He that spareth his rod, hateth his sonne: but he that loueth him, chasteneth him betimes.²⁴

²⁵The righteous eateth to the satisfying of his soule: but the belly of the wicked shall want.²⁵
