CHAP. XV.
1A soft answere turneth away wrath: but grieuous words stirre vp anger.1
2The tongue of the wise, vseth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fooles, powreth out foolishnes.2
3The eyes of the Lord are in euery place, beholding the euill & the good.3
4A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but peruersnesse therein is a breach in the spirit.4
5A foole despiseth his fathers instruction: but hee that regardeth reproofe, is prudent.5
6In the house of the righteous is much treasure: but in the reuenues of the wicked is trouble.
7The lippes of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish, doeth not so.
8The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord: but the prayer of the vpright is his delight.8
10Correction is grieuous vnto him that forsaketh the way: and he that hateth reproofe, shall die.10
11Hell and destruction are before the Lord: how much more then, the hearts of the children of men?11
12A scorner loueth not one that reproueth him: neither will he goe vnto the wise.
13A merry heart maketh a cheerefull countenance: but by sorrow of the heart, the spirit is broken.13
15All the dayes of the afflicted are euill: but he that is of a merry heart, hath a continuall feast.
16Better is little with the feare of the Lord, then great treasure, and trouble therewith.16
17Better is a dinner of herbes where loue is, then a stalled oxe, and hatred therewith.17
18A wrathfull man stirreth vp strife: but he that is slow to anger, appeaseth strife.18
19The way of the slouthfull man is as an hedge of thornes: but the way of the righteous is made plaine.19
20A wise sonne maketh a glad father: but a foolish man despiseth his mother.20
21Folly is ioy to him that is destitute of wisedome: but a man of vnderstanding walketh vprightly.21
22Without counsell, purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counsellours they are established.22
23A man hath ioy by the answere of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it?23
24The way of life is aboue to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath.24
25The Lord will destroy the house of the proud: but he will establish the border of the widow.25
26The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the Lord: but the wordes of the pure, are pleasant words.26
27Hee that is greedy of gaine, troubleth his owne house: but he that hateth gifts, shall liue.
29The Lord is farre from the wicked: but hee heareth the prayer of the righteous.29
30The light of the eyes reioyceth the heart: and a good report maketh the bones fat.
31The eare that heareth the reproofe of life, abideth among the wise.
32He that refuseth instruction, despiseth his owne soule: but he that heareth reproofe, getteth vnderstanding.32
33The feare of the Lord is the instruction of wisedome; and before honour is humilitie.33
